Kabiyak ng Dibdib

Hindi ko alam kung naiintindihan mo,
Ang alam ko sinubukan ko ng ipaliwanag to
Sigurado akong noon pa'y narinig mo na,
Hindi kasintahan ang aking hanap diba.


Hindi maikakailang ika'y kahanga-hanga
Sakanilang pamantayan ikaw ang lamang
Ngunit giliw, hindi ito ang aking kaylangan
Hindi ikaw ang tugon sa aking dasal.


Kung kasintahan lang naman ang hanap ko
Ang kamay mo'y matagal ko ng hawak-hawak
O di kaya'y nagtapos na tayo ng walang galak
At mabibilang ko kaya kung naging ilan kayo?


Ngunit kabiyak ng dibdib ang aking hangad
At kung hindi ko tinugon ang iyong pagsamo
Giliw, ano pa ba ang ibig sabihin nito?
Sa iyong pagunawa, mamumulat kang mapalad.

Almost Perfect

I hate you for being so real
For being a man who does his will
Not fearing to show the fault in him
Always ready to hear the story I keep

I despise you for acting your way
For trying to know who I am
Making me tell what my heart says
Your move and words seem to forget

It's painful to know how amazing we are
That finally someone fits me perfectly
Then I remember you can't be the one
The man I love won't break my heart

And though you might think I'm a stone
I have to say no to perfection that shows
Oh how can you be so cruel to me
And to her that expects your faithfulness and loyalty?

Kagandahan

And another poem was made as requested by my tita again. Isn't she so supporting? Hehe. Well this was actually her gift to her cousin, and our tita also.

Here it is..

Once Long Ago

Another poem requested by a client. Of course, this is primarily dedicated to my mama. :)

A Poem For Someone (The story behind)

This poem was produced as requested by my tita yhan, in exchange for a small amount of money.

Well yeah, I felt bad for doing a poem in exchange of money because truly I am a believer of the so called passion -- that you're doing something not expecting anything in return because the joy of doing it satisfies that hunger in your heart and that is something peiceless. But if some people can use their craft to earn a living, why not consider your own talent and ability as a source of income too. And since I am needing an extra income, why not?

But still, this is a passion, so don't get me wrong and I hope you're getting my point. ;)

If I Am The One

If I am the one, you'd never doubt the love you have.

If I am the one, you'd never fear to say it loud.

If I am the one, you'd make me believe in love.

If I am the one you'd never try to break my heart.

If I am the one, you'd come after me when I turn my back.

If I am the one, you'd find joy when you look into my eyes.

If I am the one, you'd make efforts just to make me smile.

If I am the one, you'd love to tell even the little things about your life.

If I am the one, you'd know how to tame my pride.

If I am the one, you'd be sure that it's me you want to be your wife.

The Last Thing

The last sight you might want

                was the smiling eyes that can look straight to your soul.
The last sound you might want
                was the cold voice that could bring chill to your bones.

But it’s not always rainbows and butterflies
                they say these too much.
Because these last things you might want
                could be the vivid sound of footsteps turning to walk away.
