Denial

Feigning numbness,

I let you lean against

My heaving chest,

Not minding

My heartbeat racing,

Ever calling,

Your disyllabic name.

Feigning coldness,

I let you gently pull me,

Close to your dear heart,

Feigning deafness,

I do not hear,

Your sweet heartbeat calling mine.

Ubiquitous,

My heart to yours,

With nothing less than love,

For you to keep,

Or break apart.

To give away,

Or to make a start.

Feigning boredom,

I yawn so loud,

You  caught my mouth,

You felon, that kiss

You stole,

Was it not enough,

That you stole my heart?

Feigning anger,

I look away. . .

Those three words,

I could not say.

Time Set Me Free

Time set me free,

And cast away all the burdens I feel

Cure this forlorn heart of mine:

Is loving you truly a crime?

Time set me free,

And take every inch of sadness here in me,

Hold my hand in place of his:

Could love be any harder than this?

Time set me free,

Fill my emptiness with vials and vials of glee,

Sing to me a song of joy:

Make me forget about this boy.

You’ve come into

my Stream

Of consciousness once –

again.

My heart has widely

Opened for you,

to come

as I tightly

envelOp you

with my deep love.

We’ve overcome

so many

Ups –

and downs

and we’ll be

overcoming some more

as we drive

in –

and out,

in and out

of the tunnel called love.

Feel the roundness of my love:

Unending, Unceasing, Unfailing

Feel the pounding of my heart when you’re near,

Undulating, Unduly Unafraid

I feel the weight of your concerns, Leave them all to me,

And I will take them in, everything, openheartedly.

For you are

what love

means

to

me.

Ang ingay sa labas

Nasasaktan ako

Hindi ko naman naririnig ang boses mo.

Ang ingay sa labas

Ginugulo ako,

Hindi ko naman nakikita ang layon mo.

Ang ingay sa labas,

Nakabibingi,

Pipe na ba’ang lahat? Pero iba-iba’ang sinasabi.

Ang ingay sa labas,

Maraming pang basura,

Pati nga ba naman ikaw, dinungisan nila.

Ang ingay sa labas,

At ika’y sumisigaw,

Ngunit ang dinig lamang ay mga pigil na hiyaw.

Bakit sila maingay?

Diwa mo ba’y di na taglay?

Bakit sila maingay?

O sadyang ‘di lang ako sanay? . . .

. . .kung dapat bang masanay.

Dreamland

Off where my dreams go,

Is where you will, too

For deep within my heart,

I know,

Dreams don't always come true.

But I still believe one day,

As you open your eyes from slumber,

You'll know that I've been always

Waiting here, beside you.

I long for you.

A Night of Music

this is the moment when the lights go dim,

the music fades in,

and the smoke machine fills the air,

with a foggy mist,

enclosing the strangers,

two strangers onstage,

this is the moment when the beat goes strong,

and hearts pound more,

and the people stare in awe,

the people stare with glee,

the people stare with forlorn,

and the people stare with tears.

for this is the moment when two worlds unite,

unite for just one night.

A Note (for you)

One day I found,

A sweet note in the sand,

I kinda wished it was mine,

Or that I held,

Its writers hand. :)
