Sixth Senseless Sonnet

I've been treading a path so sad and bleak
Seeing the same things again and again.
Never thought a butterfly would lead me
To the beautiful flower I've fallen.

And now I finally caught sight of existence
Inanimate things breathed in with souls.
I felt life running through cold veins
I now see skies no more as lonely holes.

It still rain, but I bathe and dance with her
Dreaming, waking up not seeing an end.
Time still runs fast and we breathe in its dust
Confined in a reality God lent.

I'll live day by day watching red suns die.
Under sad roses, in her arms I'll lie.

Adios Amigo!

Lumalalim na ang gabi
Lamig ng hangi'y kay tindi
Alon sa dagat ay kaysarap pagmasdan
Lalo pa't nasisinagan ng buwan

Ako ngayo'y nag-iisa
Hinaharap ang buhay na puno ng problema
Bakit ba dumating ang lahat ng 'to?
Ako ngayo'y gulong-gulo

Inaaliw ang sarili sa dalampasigan
Inaalala ang lahat ng magagandang nakaraan
Na aming pinagsamahan
Nang minamahal kong kaibigan

Buhay talaga ay puno ng pagsubok
Tadhana ang siyang sumsubok
Kaya't ako ay lumalaban
Upang ang sakit sa puso'y makayanan

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang dahilan
Kung bakit pa kailangan lumisan
Diyos na lamang ang nakakaalam
Sa mga sagot sa aking pagdaramdam

Huwag sanang mag-alala
Lagi sanang maging masaya
Sa tuwing ika'y walang kasama
At pag ika'y nag-iisa

Mahal kong kaibigan
Hanggang dito nalang talaga
Salamat sa iyong pagmamahal na iginugol
O! kay sakit sabihin, paalam kaibigan, paalam.

Unang Pag-ibig

Sa una'y paghanga'y naituring
Nang tumagal unang pag-ibig na rin
Isip ko'y naguguluhan
No'ng una ko itong naramdaman
Akala ko'y madaling mawala,
Ang pagtingin na aking nadarama.
Pero kahit anong pilit na limutin ka
Ay hindi ko kaya, Oh aking sinta.
Mananatili ka sa puso ko
Sapagkat ang nararamdaman kong ito
Ay ang unang pag-ibig na
Nagpapatak sa luha ko.

Smile

Adrenaline starts activating in my whole body
Making my heart beat so fast
Feelings doesn't change
Every time I see the smile in your face

I think I can't reach you from distance
Maybe not this time, or maybe in light years
I felt so emasculate
Every time we've met

Truly I can say this few words
Words that in neither Science nor Math found
For you to know
I just can't smile without you.

A Cosmic Phenomenon

Rough times, good times - they come and go
Crying moments with the rain
Shining hours with the sun
Instinct of a sensible being

Knowing ahead what to feel
But beyond imperfect mentality
Believes in the magical mystery
Of the Power of the One Unseen

Bringing to life the impossible
Oh how great! Incomparable!
24/7, one should be grateful
Everything on earth is of heaven's worth

And that's indubitably undeniable
So face the world passionately
From sun up to sun down
Believe, and you'll see.

Let Me Cry

You've been doing this girl
When everything seemed so true
Feels like it's worth all tears
Believing he acts the same way too.

Nothing is happier than it was
Laughing out together
Dreaming life would be better
Thinking promises would last.

Let me cry them out for you
I know you're missing him
Let me shout them out for you
I know you still long for him.

You've been thinking of it
How beautiful it's supposed to be
You've been crying for it
Knowing it's not how he feels.

Nothing is more painful than it is now
Crying alone, feeling so down
But you need to start moving on
Hoping one day they'll be gone.

You don't want to cry again
But the wound still needs to mend
You made your last cry before
But the cut were not yet restored.

So let me cry them out for you
I know you can forget him
Let me scream them out for you
I know he's not the right one.

Dyen

Stern face, prying eyes
Strict bearing, and silent type
Unsympathetic is all I thought that she is
From the tips of her hair to the soles of her feet

Someone who doesn't smile I suppose
And whose firm and stiff stance I estimate never grow soft
But all were pictures painted by wrong notion
When I gain acquaintance with this person

Her apathetic image fades in a sudden
When smile registered on her face
And her utterance of great wisdom and intelligence
A demeanor so dignified, so reserved, so feminine

The once ferocious lion is now a tamed cat
I'm glad that from her friendly zone, she has finally come out
A one of its kind friend, not a fied
A lass so affectionate, not indifferent

Thoughts of this story never fail to make me smile
Whenever its ironic beginnings pop out of my mind
The face of the woman that I used to dread
Is now the portrait of the person I admire.

It's Too LATE

It was friday morning when the Luna Family reached Davao City. They traveled all the way from Pampanga City to reach their new but smaller house in Davao. They've left their old life behind after a terrible incident that burned down everything that the family has pondered for years, icluding their huge house. The family is now ready to begin a new but simpler life.

Tina, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Luna, is a beautiful young lady. Few days after transferring to their new house, Tina is entering to her new school too as a senior. Her parents were still able to put her into a big private school, though not as much as her school before. Tina, as a transferee found herself new friends in the campus. With them, she was introduced to a socializing environment just like what she has grown up with before. She realized that she must look pretty everyday and must have the best outfit so everyone would always notice her. Fame became her priority in school.

On the other side, her parents strive hard to earn for a living, and to give Tina the same life she has before. However, they always remind Tina how hard it is to give here a good life, thus, she must study hard and do well at school.

Days quickly pass and now, Tina's promenade is getting near. She's very excited and couldn't think what to do to stand among all the girls in the event. Her friends have been talking about dating this guy named Michael Garcia. According to them, he is the most famous guy in the campus and all the girls that were with him before became famous too. When Tina knew about it, she became interested with Michael. She has been thinking how to have him as a date on the promenade. Surprisingly, a week before the prom, Michael asked her to be his date. She was so happy and accepted it immediately. A day after, Michael invited her in a joyride with her friends. She considered it a good opportunity to get to know him better and be close to him, so she said she's going. Michael told her that they'd wait in front of the school at 9 in the evening.

6:30 p.m

At home, Tina prepared for the joyride. She wore her best jeans and put on make-up. When her parents came from work, she told them she's going to her friend's house for a group study. Her dad won't let her but she insisted it, asking why can't she go when this is what she does before.

"Are you sure it is a group study?" his dad asked. 

"Of course it is!" Tina exclaimed. 

"Tina, don't you ever disappoint us. We trust you," said her father. 

"Promise it. You won't disappoint us, right?" her mother added. 

"Yes mom, I promise. I won't disappoint you" 

"You'll be back here at 9 p.m."

Tina waited in front of the school for an hour, when Michael arrived. Tina was wondering why Michael is alone. When she entered the car, she noticed that Michael was drunk. When Michael started driving, Tina was terrified because the speed was getting higher.

"Michael, where are the others?" she asked.
Michael remained silent and kept driving so fast. 

"Michael, stop the car, I'm going home," she added 

"No, You stay there!" he shouted.
"But Michael!"

The car is still speeding up like it is the only one on the road. Michael seemed to be out of his mind to continue driving so fast. Tina is screaming for help but no one except Michael can hear her. Suddenly, another car came out of the street and their car strongly crashed into it.

Tina woke up in the hospital and a nurse informed her that the guy she was with in the car didn't make it. The couple in the other car just died a few minutes ago. Tina's tears fell down and she felt so sorry. She is very critical and doctors can't do anything to save her life.

"Before I die, can I ask you a favor?" she asked the nurse. 

"Yes, what is it?" 

"Please tell my parents I love them so much and I'm so sorry to disappoint them, and ask the family of the person in the other car to forgive me." 

"I'm sorry miss, I can't." the nurse answered while watching Tina on her last breathe.

A person heard it and asked the nurse, "Why didn't you grant the dying girl's request?" 

"I can't because the couple in the other car is her parents," she answered.

~THE END~

Hate Red

Damn Red-colored Red
A shade of my enemy
Her lips of lies
And cheeks of Judas' kiss
No one can be trusted
They are just a bunch of
Wilted red roses offered to charm

A priceless Prada in a shade
of the darkest red
Carried by hand, by shoulder
Or by the back
Guarded by thief walking in
The brightest streets of the city
Really, you can't trust no one.
Red, the desire of love
Never forgets the desire for lust

A cherry-scented latex
For a cherry pop
Ripped in the middle of your core
And after 270 days
Hear the cry of the sweetest
Knit from a cherry popped
Still you can't trust someone
Who has take you for granted
And make your days in red.

Mika

Nang una kitang makita
Nagustuhan na agad kita
Sabik na sabik akong mahawakan ka
Hanggang sa nilapit ko ang kamay ko sayo
At nagustuhan mo naman ito

Hindi nagtagal ay napasaakin ka
Bawat sandali'y ikaw ang kasama
Baliw na baliw na nga ako sayo
Kahit itanong mo pa sa Lola ko
Sasabihin nitong "adik si Recci sayo"

Araw-gabi kasama ka sa tabi
Minamasdan kang kumaing nakangiti
Sa pag tulog yakap-yakap ka
Sa pag gising ikaw ang nakikita
Sana'y di na ito matapos pa

Ngunit isang araw'y nag-iba ka
Bigla kang nanghina at nagsusuka
Ewan ko ba akoy kinakabahan na
Hanggang sa ika'y natumba't nawalan ng hininga
Lang hiya! Nilason ang aso kong si Mika.

Undying Pain

I'm left again in this empty ro0m
Feeling alone and c0vered with ven0m
Vague hugs me and I just can't fight
Losing my hope t0 see an0ther light

Since y0u've g0ne, it's n0t the same
Pain w0n't heal 'cause n0 0ne's to be blame
I bec0me c0ncise and afraid to trust
Mem0ries are rushing from my past

It's n0t my fault if I'm uncolith
'Cause you're n0t here to lead and I'm shoved
I can't shun remembering you
'Cause you're the best who gives hue

When will I see you again?
I think I can't 'till the end.
Yeah we were w0rlds apart
And tearin' my heart.

In my dreams y0u're always there
In my mind too, I swear
I see your face when I stare
My heart tells I really still care

Love like this, I really hunger
I haven't f0und n0 one with this kind of character
When will this be g0ne away?
The tune of undying pain, forever play.

Miss Online

Beneath my em0ti0n inside my heart
Enchanted by your love so lovely and smart
Makes me b0unce al0ng the aisle
You're like sweet candies I only desire
Vineyards of dreams I only have
All al0ne like a l0nes0me d0ve
L0nging f0r y0ur undying l0ve
En0ugh to h0ld my entrance kn0b
Never will die n0r fall
This tender and warm light I call
It keeps on b0uncing thr0ugh my s0ul
Your name online that s0ar
Pains of sorrow no more

When Darkness Falls

Obeisance torn enticing revenge
Interfaith thy spirit hungry of tense
In a garish m0uthy prevent fad
Dis0wn w0rld fr0m a demi-god.

From the dark side beware as they appear
In a silent tune of careless whisper
Benzene of nature numbness of tears
Seek a up hunting with n0 fears.

Hullabaloo n0ise glances thy heads
As this sound of silence disturbs or leads
Fasten y0ur seats on the ride of fears
Comrades as they are, angels of nightmares.

Malevolent covers the light
Disc0mf0rt swift of water fright
In a living death hungry soul's
Mystery holds when darkness falls.

Oh! Pag-ibig Nga Naman!

Nang una kitang nakilala
Pag-ibig ay wala
Bakit ngayon, an0ng nangyari?
Pag-ibig ko sayo'y kay laki!

Ayaw k0ng ilabas
Ang pag-ibig k0ng wagas
Pag tingin k0 say0'y walang kupas
Kahit panah0n may lumipas.

Ako'y nangangamba baka puso'y mabigo
Kaya kay laking pagkalito net0ng aking puso
Kung pag-ibig ba ay dapat itago
O kung ilahad sa'yo at mangangako.

Ngayo'y alam m0 na
'Di ko na itatanggi pa
Oo, mahal na mahal kita
At wala ng iba aking sinta

Masakit mang isipin
Na ikaw ay hindi magiging akin
Ang tanging hiling k0 lang sa'yo
Ay ibigin m0 naman ako

Taxonomy of Love

Oh Love!
Give me time to kn0w
Give me time to do
Give me time to be
Give me time to understand
Give me time to comprehend
Give me time to apply
Give me time to analyze
Give me time to synthesize
Give me time to evaluate
Oh Love!
Give me time 'cause I don't want to fail...

Untitled

I woke this m0rning with a smile
A th0ught of you turns me high
As I stare int0 the suns glare
I see the image of us, as pair

It started with just a hyp0thesis
That was n0t part of this business
A force then suddenly appears so quickly
Makes me reas0n t0 fall on y0u easily

But h0w can I be with you?
Now thinking of what to do
Because distance turns us apart
Making me away fr0m y0ur heart

Time will sl0wly fade
Hoping this love will n0t evade
You kn0w that i can barely wait
I hope this time I will n0t be LATE

Sana Naman!

Pag gising ko isang umaga
Ako'y may biglang naalala
Ang araw na iy0n ay espesyal pala
Kaya't ako'y nagmamadali baka mahuli sa eskwela.

Pagpasok sa silid-aralan
Diretso agad sa upuan
Sabay sulyap sa likuran
Inaalam kung si "k'wan" ay andyan.

Sa kanyang kaarawan
Si "k'wan" ay lumiban
Kung bakit, di ko alam
Ewan k0 kung siya'y nasaan.

Hay naku! Sayang talaga
Ako sa kanya'y may ibibigay pa naman sana
Matagal ko it0ng pinaghandaan
masasayang lang pala
Regalong sigurad0ng magugustuhan niya.

Sa tul0ng ng kaklase, aking nalaman
Siya'y lumipat na pala sa ibang paaralan
Wala man lang pasabi't di nagpaalam
Damdamin sa kanya di tuloy naipaalam

Kahit siya man ay lumisan
Ak0'y iwan na luhaan
Puso't isipan man ay balutin ng kalungkutan,
Mga alaala niya'y babalik-balikan

Paglalakbay k0 ay patul0y lang
Alon ng buhay ay aag0s pa naman
Malay natin sa kinabukasan
Kami'y muling pagtagpuin ng kapalaran...

Sana Naman!

Bakit?

Unang araw kitang nakita
Ako ay bigla mong napahanga.
Lalo na sa angkin m0ng talento
Nagpatibok ng puso ko.

Itinatak kita sa pus0 k0
Sinabi ikaw lamang ang mamahalin ko.
Nahibang ako dahil sa'yo
Na agad namang hinusgahan ng mga tao.

Pero bakit ngay0n ako'y nag-iisa?
Ni walang makapiling at makasama
Ako ngayo'y higit na nagdurusa
Sa pag-ibig m0ng hangal sinta.

Nilim0t m0 ako bilang isang tao
Tinapakan m0 ang aking pagkatao
Sinayang m0 lamang ang pag-ibig ko
At sumama sa lalaking iy0ng gusto.

Ngayon ako'y nagdurusa.
Ngayon ako'y walang makasama.
Ibig ko mang limutin ka
Hindi ko magawa dahil mahal kita.

Bakit? Bakit mo ako niloko?
Bakit m0 pinaasa ang puso ko?
Bakit? Ano ba ang nagawa ko sa iyo?
Upang limutin at pagtaksilan mo?

My Friend

When I think of you,
I think of all that we've been through
All the times we argue and fight
I kn0w deep inside it isn't right
I then feel bad and a lot of pain.
It feels like falling from the sky like the rain
I love you dear friend with all my heart
But n0w that y0u're gone I've fallen apart

I'm getting better as days go by.
I wish sometimes this was all a big lie
I pray f0r y0u every night
It's like y0u're my fire, burning my light
My dear friend, I miss you a lot

I kn0w y0u're in a place much better than here
Watching and helping me face my fears
I kn0w our friendship will see us thr0ugh
and forever we'll be friends,
ME and YOU.

My Infinite LOVE

When i secretly admire you
You make my whole world new
I don't kn0w what i feel inside
But you make me feel alright

I gave love f0r you
Just to prove that i do love you
How i wish you love me too
I hope it will come true

Once in my life you make me happy
Although i kn0w y0u're so busy
In just one message "HI!"
You make me feel fine

I don't kn0w if you're true
To the feelings you sh0w me too
I allow you to take care of my heart
Because i trust you all my life

One time you said to me
That we're n0t meant to be
I respected your decisi0n
'Cause you're in a big frustation

You're the song of my life
That made me feel delight
My life gets b0ring with0ut you
But i try s0meone new

I can't recall h0w we started
I hope our friendship will never end
I will cherish the mem0ries we're together
I wish that you'll be happy forever.

The Beautiful

Was it your eyes that captured me?
Or was it the way y0u displayed simplicity?
It c0uld be y0ur sweet smiling lips
Or maybe y0ur s0ft l0oking fingertips.

The wind gave y0u m0re glam0ur as it t0uched y0ur hair
The beauty bey0nd any goddess can bear
F0r it c0uld take away my s0rr0w alm0st instantly
The face that c0uld carry y0u to the w0rld of fantasy.


I'm n0t trying to praise y0u, y0u kn0w I'm n0t
For if I had, these w0rds w0uldn't be en0ugh
For n0 one can ever define the beauty y0u h0ld
The beauty m0re preci0us than the finest gems and the purest g0ld

Lost Without You

Something about you,
Breaks me apart..
How are you able,
To see past my disgusting flaws
Like no one else?
How do you wake me up
From the deep slumbers,
I place myself in..?
Something you do,
Or say,
Pulls me together,
Fixes me from the nothing
I’ve been for so long.
I lost my faith, my hope
In love… In Life…
How were you able to spark it all back up again?
I’ve been dead for so long…
…Too long…
Something about you you..
…Something…
Brought me back
To life.
How?....
….How?....
You’re a spell..
My deep, mysterious spell..
And I,
Am forever, gratefully lost..

To be LOVED through MAGIC

To be loved as a friend,

Demands the magic of amity and parallelism.

To be loved as a teacher, leader,

Demands the magic of passion and kn0wledge.

To be loved as a co-worker, neighbor,

Demands the magic of respect and support.

To be loved as a student,

Demands the magic of responsibility and respect.

To ae loved as a politician,

Demands the magic of genuine service, stewardship, transparency

To be loved by lover,

Demands the magic of spontaneous planned true love.

To be loved by God,

Demands the magic of true love, faith, obedience.

Oh! Loving is demanding!

Craving the m0st toughest, rarest.

While living in the evil's

dweling, tempting, resisting, misleading.

The magic lives in one's willpower,

The magic dies in one's freewill.

Do you have those MAGIC?

Harrowing Pain for Love in Vain

At first i admit that I am just playing
But feelings truly bl0om that's why I l0ve y0u later on...

Everyday that i'm with y0u
I felt s0mething unusual
S0mething s0 special and dear
That seems to be a feeling of love

To fall in love is the last thing i want this time,
All I want is to fill my empty heart
Before I kn0w, I could n0w see,
I'm falling f0r s0meone wh0's also loving me.

I always dreamt of y0u and me together in one
The w0rld wherein there's just the tw0 of us
We are holding tightly each other's hand
and it seems like tom0rr0w w0n't c0me
And that we were so full of sweet-n0things,
love and care f0r each other

But that was n0w a shattered dream
For all of it happened in the past
and we can never bring it back although it may last

For y0u is there catching s0mebody else
Here I am dying t0 be with you
Why can't I be who You wanted?
Well, I'm just out of your league?

I wish y0u never spare me at a time
'Coz it makes me close to y0u
So close that I c0udn't resist
For there is n0thing I want but y0u

Oh! How i wish i'd never met y0u
Because it hurts to kn0w the truth
That y0u are n0t bel0ng to me
But y0u bel0ng to s0meone new

Yes, I kn0w i have n0thing to say!
I can't even say y0u has to love me,
I have n0thing to write but pain
Pain s0 h0rr0wing-so y0u see!

I MISS YOU (How Much More)

I miss you when there's n0 reas0n

How much m0re if there is?

How much more if I don't?

I miss you now

How much m0re later?

If You Care

If you care to read my letter
It would be my happiest m0ment f0rever
'Cause that day I was able to let y0u see
What I kept inside of me.

I just wanted to tell you
That I really admire you
And y0u made me feel very happy
Especially when y0u care to glance at me.

Fr0m this favorite place of mine
I waited for you fr0m ten to nine
Just h0ping y0u'll pass by
Even as fast as blink of an eye.

In every free m0ment i think of thee
And wish y0u als0 think of me
Please d0n't think I am a spy
'Cause my heart spoke n0 lie.

I don't want y0u to stay away
'Cause thy heaven will turn to gray
I don't want to put my name in shame
I just wanted to kn0w y0ur precious name

When and What (a realization)

It may not be the same as h0w y0u look at things, but this is h0w I see them...

When y0u feel like everythin pulls
you down, don't lean on them.
When you think like the w0rld is full of s0rr0w and grief and agony
think that y0u bel0ng t0 an0ther w0rld s0mewhere else.

When y0u hear the music of melancholy, st0p listening.
When y0u see that in many eyes, there is a
cloud of sadness, make sure y0urs are n0t one of th0se.
And when y0u d0n't understand what happens arr0und, just hang in there;
believe that s0mewhere things are still and peaceful.

Remember, life is n0t ab0ut
laughing. It is h0w y0u laugh
when there's n0 sighn at all.
Everything that makes y0u
fall teaches y0u t0 fly
Everything that makes y0u
turn back reminds y0u to
bring s0mething y0u've gone
so far when all y0u need is a step behind.

Not everything means what it seems.
Not everything seems what it means.

Now, don't let y0ur life get
lost while y0u're in search
of s0mething. Something
may mean a lot but that remains s0mething.
Your life is everything, though.
Don't be afraid to g0 on but
be certain t0 where y0u are g0ing.
Don't f0rget t0 l0ok back.
If things might fall, d0n't let them fall with0ut fighthin.
Lastly, trust the self within y0u.
Believe in y0ur dreams. Fly with y0ur wings.
Be free. Explore. Disc0ver.
Love if y0u're in love.
Cry if y0u're hurt.
See what it feels.
Kn0w what it means.
And y0u'll see-y0u can make y0ur life the way y0u want it t0 be.

I hope you have als0 realize what i've realized lately...
God is good and He answer all our prayers s0 d0n't hesitate t0 ask Him...

Lihim

ako'y naakit, at ako'y napatingin
pagtitig sa iyo'y di kayang pigilin
ako'y natulala, at ako'y namangha
sa kakaibang saya, 'pag ika'y nakikita

pero nais kamang hawakan
o kahit malapitan man lang
sadyang di ko magawa
ako ba ay nahihiya?

hanggang tingin nalang ba?
at hanggang ganito ang distansya?
nais ka mang puntahan
ngunit dapat pigilan

pagka't aking napagtanto
ang katotohanang natamo
kasintahan ka nang kapatid ko
habang ako'y palihim na umiibig sayo

Someone In My Past

We are perfect match as others say
And I tried my best to keep it that way
But suddenly y0u went away
And became a part of yesterday.

I thought we would never say goodbye
Your promise was a big, fat lie
And I'm strong en0ugh not to cry.

Those mem0ries when were together
Perhaps made me better
I kn0w y0u neither want me to suffer
Nor to put me in disaster.

Time has quickly passed
So it has to heal fast
You're my first but n0t my last
Just someone in my past.
