crayons and magic

you color my life
with crayons and magic
and purple shower
of orange glitz

roses of reds
lay u down in my bed
kisses with pinks
with lips of violets

the pleasures of love
is melting through the thin layers
of my yellow skin
and washes away my blued soul

and a drop of a crystal clear
tear coming from the narrow aperture
of my tiny eyes
a magical rainbow emerges

exhausted

days pass me by
swiftly sailing like a boat
on the river of tears
that we have cried

thought of it many times
mixed it up
arranged it twice
making it look real nice

but one broken link
i've been fixing so long
every time i make a move
something goes wrong

when the heart bleeds fast
and the hurting comes again
saying goodbye
won't make me half a man

witchess

your eyes are a view
of enticement
beauty that beholds
the mystery

oh is it magic
and bewitchment
princess of witches
goddess of secrets

by your bewildering grace
i am drawn blank
intrigue in quietude
my soul rouses

cast me a spell
let me languish in your embrace
of warm, passionate love
and enchanting, romantic kiss

a blissful fall

hold your hands, may i
i walk you to a lullaby
beyond the breezy afternoon
on this paradise isle

white sands and clear skies
shores we walk on by
soothing sound of cool waves
perfect last kiss i saved

and you stare at me
through my despairing eyes
and you never blinked
not one a time

what should i do
i'm falling for you
oh what mistake it is
when i'm in bliss

halik ng apoy

gusto kong halikan ang iyong mga labi
upang madama mo ang init
ng apoy na lumalagablab
sa kaibuturan ng aking marupok na puso

hagkan ang iyong mga kamay
at yakapin ka ngayon malamig ang gabi
at ang mga tala'y kumikinang
na parang brilyantes sa kalawakan

mahirap bang intindihin
ang pusong nagmamahal
hindi mo ba kayang tanggapin
na tayo'y iisa

hanggang kailan ako malulumbay
kung kailan hindi ko na kayang umibig
ayoko ko na muling magkamali
sana ang bukas ay hindi pa huli

love wins over love

the first burst was soft and gentle
it was shallow yet cunning
a taste of doomsday
it hit, it did

the second coming was even greater
and was able to hit direct
bulleyes...
bleeds like a perfect cut

the third strike ended it all
it was the sweetest revenge ever
like a fallen boxer
hit right through the eyes

mending and was out of breath
exhaling was the only gesture
a sweet victory
indeed

the other destiny

you liberated yourself
then...
by letting him go
from your embrace

he will marry
you will still be friends
you will accept it
the fact that you cant just be together

move on with your life
realized that you've wasted
so much time on this grief
and enslavement

you will feel a little sadness
a little denial
but it will be all good
and you will be happy

now if...
this is not gonna happen
destiny...
is being rewritten

not yet

cruelty has bowed down to the master
defeated by happiness
pulverized
into really small pieces

not even a trace to find
glitches gone
no blemishes
of sad remarks

terribly unbelievable
i'm still havin' hangovers
from what i am used to
looking down

while soaring high
should i enjoy this bliss
let me fall
not yet - not this time

thank you my angel

all-time low this week
never imagined it coming
so many problems to solve
not done with even one

checking reality every minute
calling on him every time
asking for assistance
with this life of mine

prolonged agony i experienced
of my bad indecisive mind
keep holding on to it
'til i lost all the bits

shining wings of angels
came to see me down
crying joyous
heaven heard my howl

of the many troubles keeping me up
one made me fall asleep
days and days i was
lying on my bed

but you my angel tell me stories
bedtime and wonderful
how could i ever thank you
a million is not enough

i found a friend in your presence
like a guiding star in the night
sooner than i could imagine
i'm good and all well

thank you my angel
thank you for praying with me
thank you for staying around
thank you, thank you...

sudden sadness

sudden sadness is striking
here right in the middle of my heart
i feel terribly cold already
and its rising so fast to my head

inside me is trembling
can't even hold a pen
saline in my window
prepared in droplets

knees can barely hold it
fainting almost
my shoulders are getting heavy
adding to the burden

my brain is freezing
trying to recall happiness
but sorrow's beating on it
damned

crippled
i want to wake up to reality
crying for help
i need to escape this

quickly after
the millisecond grief
has succumb
to oblivion

-dedicated to my papa(1950-2007). may you find peace from the comforts of the heavens.

in the name of love

feelin' the air against my face
sensual surge
from the softness
and silken surface

hopes are aces
defiance to fear
holding on to good ol' memories
of flashing reflection

unselfish devotion
to a heart's flame
aromatic eternity
breezing the comforts

unended repartee
excerpt from the scripts
written
in the name of love

on the bright side

i'm pretending to be happy
to heal a little
but we still love each other
and i would change my mind totally for her

this is even harder than you know
at the back of my head
this is not yet over
everything will fall into the right place

like all the rain goes to the sea
sometimes lake for little troubles
and settle down as the sun shines again
and the rainbow, so beautiful

on the brighter side
i get to enjoy some temporal happiness
i am this mad
and crazy about her

on black and white

that's what making me sad
i have these reasons,
yet i still find time to dwell on petty things
like my lost love

im trying to cover up
for what happened to us
and deal with this loneliness
that's i'm not suppose to

but i'm devising something now
something that would help
ease some pain
i might encounter in the future

and i am writing it
'coz i might not be able
to feel it this way
sooner than i could imagine

fixing a broken heart again

i have my tools with me
ready...
i got a 3m packaging tape
a stapler

one container glue
some stick ons
wipes...
a healing cream

i'm ready now
step one...
slowly put the pieces back together
then, starting from one side

roll the tape to hold it to place
apply some glue
wipe it dry
then there goes the healing cream

staple the rest
put on the stick ons
write this down
fixed...

indecisive yet decided

should i go or...
i'm always caught in between
when trying to decide on something
guess i'm so indecisive

that even my last relationship
went into dancing
with some rock en roll music
or was it slow dance?

even that i don't know
i always have two choices
sometimes when i get lucky
it goes this or this...

that's when impulse came in
quick decisions
i did a big one...
and i don't regret it

crispy-licious

red and juicy...
one bite is all you need
crispy-licious
and mouth watering

are you ready to grab it
beware i'm telling you
it's not what you think it is
and you can't just throw it away

it's taste meant so much more
not just it's sweet and all delicious
be ready for what it brings
tempting?

it's sure is,
what women want
hard to bare
but you have to

second love

i've been thinking...
i can settle for that second love
it hurts a little...
but it's still love after all

she hugs me back when i do
she still kisses me too
she still smiles a lot
she still sleeps on my lap

i guess i really love her
more and more each time
we've been away sometime now
i long for her somehow

if given a chance to be together
i'd grab it with both hands
no matter what it takes
i will still be who i am

i am your man
i love you for who you are
and i can always ignore the fact
that i am just the second love

day by day

no matter how much you close your eyes
you'll never forget that love you shared with her
it keeps on coming back - the memories
even long after she's gone

you always thought you'll forget about it
even working on your busiest
you got to stop a while
and ponder upon what went wrong

guess you'll never perfect love
unless you experienced it first hand
but when will it stop the cycle
amazing ain't it

i faced it with all i had
i even went free fall
trusting that thrust
still i hit the floor

love songs

some love songs tell stories
that have been made in heaven
some tell stories of a life changing event
some just tell it...

simple love affairs that took place
somewhere down the road
or in a butterfly garden
somewhere...

two people confess their love
under the bright stars
covering the midnight blue
in a pale moonlight

i've been writing mine for some time now
but just couldn't put the words together
maybe you could fill some lines for me
will you?

friends? friends...

today i surrender my call
i raised the white flag
it's no longer worth the fight
i settled the dispute

accepted the fact
that life have these troubles
and one way or the other
i will encounter them

lets face it
being strong doesn't mean
not holding your stand
or giving in

there will be many more
and more to come
it just so happen
at times we lose some

but nevertheless
i found my true self
known better
and gained a friend

imagination...

imagination is more
important than knowledge,
for knowledge is limited
while imagination embraces
the entire world.

Albert Einstein
scientist (1867-1934)

a new found glory

mesmerized...
my ceaseless desire of you
is creeping through my veins
reaching the confines of my emotions

you fuel my imaginations
with your poise and savoir-faire
exquisite...
i am consumed by you, siren

each day i long to be with you
and be with you for the rest
of my days
and love you in many ways

a new found glory it is
am back on my feet
walking...
with a big smile

fabricated truth

derived from the word that made all men wept
tears from the shadows of the old promise
unbreakable and so it seems
this truth has noone claims

accurate and hits you hard
deeply penetrating your sacred heart
vulgar and innocent, there's nothing new
this truth will lucidly kill you

a friend at times, but mostly not
never deal with it, it hurts a lot
defend yourself, when it strikes back
this truth is just so hard to mock

but some men have escaped the wrath
of this century old fact
they say, just be what you wanna be
and this truth shall set you free

random hearts

pick one and show me
what is it you're having
pink, red, white or yellow
turn me tangerine and blue

was it of the past you had
that made you strong and mad
why don't try to make a stand
find yourself a real lad

i know it hurts to be reminded
of the many memories you had
but ain't it enough trouble
leaving someone sad

go on, continue your journey
and your hopes along the way
be honest still and be smart
and don't just break some random hearts

flying high

momentum has it, found this new love
crazy, sexy, cool, explains it out all
trying hard to hide it
but bursting and delighted

i giggle like a baby
upon hearing up your name
like a little charlie
holding up my scream

i miss the old one
but i got something new
trying to enjoy it
dying to be true

and here i am right now
with kisses and my hugs
flying high above
into the cloud 9 of love

blink of an eye

what the hell happened
damn it was so fast
the next time i know
i'm already out of gas

riding through this busy highway
cruisin' as i always do
holding you beside me
damn i miss you so

warmth by your hands
blown to cold freeze
dying love
bleeding heart

slowly we were exhausted
slowly we were sad
in a blink of an eye
all the colors fade to black

how close can you get

you're always there
for this song to share
we sing the hymn
with melodic flair

of love and friendship
that's so true
that's all i want
just to be with you

how sweet it is
to be loved like this
purist romance
and all willingness

seems like a dream
couldn't ask for more
but dream it is
will never be real

bestfriends for life
is all there is
how close can you get
more than this?

i miss my princess

i was lifeless lying along shore
in the middle seas of blue waters
under a flare of the red hot sun
striking my blinded vision

so bright to see a thing
closed my eyes to heal
the pain is too strong
numbness i'm waiting

i can't shout
no words will come out my mouth
my tongue is sore
and throat bleeding

from that medieval blade
slicing through it
i'm short of breath this time
i'm dying

from my stillness
i saw u there
taking away the grief
from a lost sacrifice

you held me unto your shoulders
and walk me along
miracles happen
my miracle is you

you take me away
to a far place
you breathe me life
and gave me hope

but you are not here
i long for your loving embrace
i long for that eternal kiss
i miss you my princess

a passionate surrender

bleeding in cold blood from the wounds of yesterday
dying in thirst and loneliness, comfortless
Godforsaken beauty of a perfect sacrifice
drowned in the river of love

kiss me goodnight oh my princess
and poison me with your charm
lay me down to rest in your arms
not a tear should keep me warm

for the night has deep into the silence
weeping like a widow in the dark
and harmony arranged the melody
of bells with muted sound

i close my eyes and whisper into the clouds
my last will and testament
to love you without hesitations, pure and proud
genuine and true, undying and devoted

losing a sight to grace, gently and slowly falling
lifeless it has become while saving the last breath
suddenly all was into a halt, descending one by one
covered with white cloth with songs of undying hymn

graciously i lifted my arms to feel it
such a warm embrace wraps me in aeon
but the inside is getting colder chills
seconds later, came my passionate surrender
