A Profile of a Lad

An easy-to-get-along-with person
full of talents, there are a lot to mention
a boastful person then with no reason
but was told about it so he learned his lesson.

A person who easily loses his patience
and acts it out with no pretense
yet this las is a man with sense
can be heard now and later on in deep silence.

This guy easily gets angry
though there's nothing to worry
'coz afterwards he'll be sorry
and gives forgiveness so easily.

A man who appears tough and strong
yet a glimpse of gentleness within is known
to a simple but elegant lass, his heart is blown
a lucky one she must be, that he will own.

Mind if I ask?

Are your thoughts on me
Solely?
Is your mind drifting on me
Imaginatively?
Does your interests retain on me
Constantly?
Does your attention remain only of me
Permanently?
Would you stay in love with me
Faithfully?
Would you care about me
Sincerely?
Mind if I ask all these?
I'd just have to let out all my fears.
I hope, to you, it's fine
Just want to express this love of mine
Fearing that I might lose you,
that would really leave me feeling blue...

Lost

You came into my life
Taking part in my daily journey
I've noticed you since then
But for you, I was just a nobody
As time passes through
You mean more to me
And to my astonishment,
I mean something to you too!
Or so I thought...
Something's building up then
As we frequently see each other
My feelings getting closer
To the trap, I feared never existed
Then it came to pass
You confess your love to me
Oh, it was music to my ears!
But away from my knowledge
It already created a wound
Deep down in my heart.
You were honest to me
And I appreciated it much
You told me something...
That so confused me
I thought I mean more to you
Thank anybody could ever know?
What then did you mean
You'd go away from us both?
Since then I had doubts
Do you really love me?
Or was it just a dream
That I'd better wake up
Before it digs up a hole
Right down to my heart's deepest core.
Life isn't fair!
It gives me someone so dear
Then it gets it back
When I've fallen enough
Guess I'll just have to give way
Though it means the pain shall stay
I'll just have to let go
To set you free, is what I know.

Fascination

I profane with my placid dream:
we're walking abreast the shore
our feelings as deep as the ocean floor

Strolling with each of our foot bare,
with the water come rushing to caress
our feet and its sand so flawless.

The sky now turning to orange
the bright sun taking its place
yet the world seems slow in its pace.

On rocks we sat
content with our arms entwine
enjoying the moment without saying a line.

All in the setting so tranquil
just the sea, ever so serene, I crave
with the brushing sound of its waves.

The fresh air passing our way
along with its natural scent
how great He is! for all these He have lent

Wishing this will last forever...
yet suddenly I thought, this is just a dream,
a fascination, real as it may seem.

Sense and Sensibility

I've known you long enough
But just some pieces of stuff
Though you're miles away
Here in my heart, you stay.

You know me, I know you
My dreams, will they ever come true?
Could you be thinking of me too
The way I think about you?

My feeling for you, I've known so long
Yet I thought it's all been gone
But since we last saw each other
Thoughts of you, I just can't get over.

Old sensations keep creeping back
In my heart they knock
I gladly opened the door
Right to the deepest of all core.

The Garden

Amidst all the bushes
Lies a beautiful garden
With a pond that's full of fishes
All has put me in an enchantment.

A variety of flowers around
With every touch of colour
Man will surely abound-
Himself in a state of favor.

Flocks of birds like to stay
In the garden with its growing trees
Time stood still, as if you're away
In a world so tranquil, so peace.

There are benches for you to sit
Or would you like to sit on the grasses
Where you may rest your feet
Butterfly touching as it passes.

There's one that's almost forgotten!
A swing with its rope tied on trees
Where a man may play with his maiden
And push the rope with ease.

One would want to enamor
This garden full of wonder
A paradise without a sense of pallor
All is bounty, all is beautiful!

Am I so?

Am I so...

Assuming-
that you have a feeling
for me and no less?

Hoping-
that you could see me
look at me as more than friends?

Wanting-
that I could not want less-
than you, could ever be?

Understanding-
that I approved of your reasons
which even asks myself for doing so?

Dreaming-
that I could have you
in no sooner than I thought?

I hope not.

The Love in Me

Where are thou my loveth?
When I seek of thy presence
Whom could you be with?
Wishingyou're here with yours truly.

I've searched a lot on you-
Be it presence, friendship, care,
But most of all your love too-
Guess I've found a little of each!

Being able to see you, my love
Lifts up millions of worries
From deep within me and beyond
You are that and I hope you'll ever be.

Hence, no one ever in my life
Had such an impact in me as you do
A bitter-sweet urg'd pressure
In my heart as well as my mind.

How is it that I can't hate you?
In the things that you do
How could that be, how could it be true-that
I always understand your reasons and you?

The World as the Sun Sets

The sun setting in the far sky
Birds chirping as they passed by
Streaks of yellow, orange, and blue
Color the heavens with hue.

People rushing in the streets,
Riding in every kind of vehicle
Each wanting to get home
Be home - as teh sun sets.

Oh how wonderful the sun-
Looks! as it sets
Like that of a masterpiece
By an expert's hand there is.

Lights starting to shine
Glittering in the dark
For people to see fine
In the world as the sun sets.

Could it be...

Could it be,
That you like me
Like me in other way
not just a crony.

Could it possibly be,
That all you've shown me
Have a touch of magic in it
That's gonna blow my heart away.

Could it just be,
A mere reflection in me
An image of my sensibility
That's directed for you only.

So near yet so far

The presence of you so near
The picture of you so clear
Yet, why is it that you're so far
The possibility is so blur.

Eversince we've been friends
My heart, to you, I commenced
Such a nice pal you are
Yet why is it that your feeling's so far.

I know you, you know me
In all angles my feeling's free
However, I just can't reach you
Which resulted in blue.

The Princess

Lady Diana Frances Spencer:
A name not so known long time ago
Yet after a royal wedding
All's changed eversince.

You're a princess on that high pedestal
blessed with a beautiful face
Matched with a heart that's clear as crystal
A fragile gem with its flawless trace.

You're a sun that shines itself
Amongst gray clouds in the heaven
You're a VIP in my shelf
With a personality not so quiescent.

You're "A candle in the wind"
So firm and yet so vulnerable
A perfect picturesque of splendid
To be one for all, you are able.

You're a hand that reaches out
To the less fortunate ones
You're a star worth looking up
That shines and twinkles in the darkness once.

The Silence of Nature

The silence of nature
The coolness of morning breeze at the fresh of day
The singing of larks flying in the clear sky
The scent of flowers blooming each passing day

The silence of nature
The warmth of country air
The rustling of leaves on the tree
The sight of dragonflies flying free.

The silence of nature
The movement of waves rushing to the shore
The swaying of grass playing with the wind
The sun as it sets beyond the ocean floor.

The silence of nature
The sound of evening birds singing in the dark
Tha black sky glittered with lots of stars
And...the moon seeming to be mysterious.

Memories

Memories are to be treasured
not to be erased away
but to be treasured in a special way.

Every single memory
equals to a lot of gems
to both guys and the femmes.

More memories, more fun there is
to every person's heart
memories always have a part.

Oldies? Yeah, but goodies!
refreshing to people's minds
that one can easily find.

Reaches out! Far...
to the deepest of our memory
that even its depth would be history.

Interactions with other people
that memories are formed
and cannever be doomed.

Experiences of our lives
either happy or sad
it's neither good nor bad.

Special really are the memories
not only those are recalled
but also treasured like a gold.

It makes me happy

Whenever you are near,
My heart burst out with cheer
It makes me happy.
Whenever you are far
Yet there is no bar
It makes me happy
Whenever we talk to each other
Words in my lips, just can't utter
It makes me happy.
Whenever you're engross
My heart leaps across
It makes me happy.
Whenever you smile
With dimples dazzling a mile
It makes me happy.
Whenever you call me by my name
And yet nothing seems the same
It makes me happy
All of which I mentioned
Turning in all directions
It makes me happy,
Happy as I want to be.

Hopeless Hopes

When feeling hopeless of a chance
Just thinking in a trance
What's there when you said:
"Why not wait instead?"
When in a dance, you're my partner
Yet suddenly we decided on another
What's there when you felt down
You said: "It's her that I'm bound!"
When my eyes do wander
In our room, I ponder
What's there that my visions seem
To have a connection with yours therein.
When we're walking side by side
My feelings I'm trying to hide
With a song that our pals sang
And so with you singing along
A song that wishes to live life long
With your loved one, you belong
Oh how my heart leapt in joy!
As I smiled with coy.

When

When will I call you mine?
Oh! Please say when - or
is that time coming still?
or am I only waiting for nothing...

When will the time come?
that you'll notice my existence
am I only waiting until
my heart goes on aching?

When will I have the chance?
of sharing something special
to you, my dearest
Can I ask one thing, when?

A Profile

Imagine these: A male
Tall, lean, broad-shouldered,
Dark-complexioned; moreover,
Wears a smile that'll sure
Melt you to the bones.
A smile that captures
Most women's heart.
A smile that reveals
Two cute dimples.
Kind, brilliant, good-looking -
Three of the features that
Attracted me to him. But,
There's also his childishness
That I accept much.
This is the lad I so love...
sometimes it hurts.

Papa

Though not here physically
You're still inside my head
to the deepest of my heart
You're well-remembered emotionally.

Though you didn't stand as an ideal
but to me, you are real
hope you'll realize
that for me, you're more than a prize!

Though we didn't share
enough memories that nothing can compare
We know within us -
We love each other so much.

When we two parted

Behind my happy eyes
sadness creeping inside
we parted like broken ice
still, am I trying to hide?
What one can find deep...
into my mind and into my heart
that's for you to keep
when we two part.
Tears each struggling to fall
in the midst of darkness
in the comfort of four-sided wall
Glad for the evening's crisp coolness.
When we two parted...
When we two parted...

Distance in Between

Seeing each other, the chances are
getting dimmer and dimmer
Now that each has taken
a different road from the other.

Seeing each other, looking into those eyes
merely a second, away it turns
to another direction-but,
to the eyes that seem to burn.

Oh how it seems!
everybody's taking thou away
embraced within-the friendship
that once we shared and tend to keep.

Why you?

Why thou, I've chosen?
though my heart's achin'
You, who bring me tears!
Yet I've concealed my fears.

I've asked myself with anger
why you, of all the others?
Thou who broke my heart into two
Nevertheless, can I blame you?

You've known nothing
about me feeling that I've been keeping
Still, can I blame -
The man whom I never felt the same?

You who stand above all
Why you, I'm destined to fall
My emotions to you that incline
Are suppressed behind.

Why you who captured my heart
In my life, you've become a part
In my memory you're restored
in it, you're You that I'm not to ignore.

Every single day without you
Oh how I feel blue...
What I'm saying are all true
that's why I'm asking, why you?

Because I love you

When feeling sad and blue
With just a smile from you
Commences a blank thought
Surge of joy! I perceive.
When there's a way to have you
But knowing it might disturb you
I doubted on pursuing the means
But can't help to wish for it
When lying awake at night
Thinking of you seemed right
Yet I thought you might be bothered
So I forced myself to sleep instead.
When learning you have someone
Hopelessness in me acted upon
But later on, I got to accept
I did it to set you free.
Hearing you both separated
I felt sorry for what happened
Though I would only betray myself
If saying, I'm not happy, because I am.
I ponder about you every now and then
You, who give me strength
You, whom I cared so much
You, who showed me hope
You, whom I so love
No wonder why I did all these
Because I love you!
And that made the difference.

Still

Ask why, ask how
Seeing you, I yearn for a vow
A then-crowded place
Turn out to be in peace
Seems like you and me in private
Staring, still, in quiet.
The wind so tranquil
Setting me in a spell.
I long for your love
That'll place me high up above
For all those days that passed
For all the days that comes
And for all the days approaching
You remain in my heart aching.

That Certain Nature

Once there came a time that thou we hateth,
Thy that we so loveth
how come when already confronted
That certain nature of yours abided.

We envy the moment
When seen with strangers then
but we assumed there may only be a problem
that caused you to act as you seem.

Before, you used to spend time with us
but in a flash!-you never did, as time pass.
Your presence seemed from afar
which marked my heart with scar.

What is it with you
that when we're in anger, through -
that certain nature of yours decided
once again, our hatred subsided.

A prayer to Virgin Mary

Oh, Dear Virgin Mary
Enlighten us with your glory
Protect us from the fires of hell
and deliver us from all evil.

May each mystery,
of your most Holy Rosary
Will bring us peace
as well as justice.

Give us your guidance
As we continue traveling
to the way to heaven
Please guide us always.

Do not lead us into temptation,
As we are in the process of preparation
for the coming of your only Son
Maybe now or maybe soon.

Ang Nadarama

Ano nga ba, itong nadarama?
pag nandiyan ka, aking sinta
kaba rito, kaba riyan
bakit nga ba pinagpapawisan
sa t'wing lalapit ka, bakit nga ba?
ikaw lang talaga.

Sadya nga bang ikaw na ang mamahalin?
wala na bang ibang gugustuhin
dito sa aking puso't damdamin
ikaw lang ang nanaisin.

Ngunit hanggang panaginip na lang ba?
ang pagmamahal ko sa iyo, aking sinta
mga pangarap na nais makamit
ngunit ang tadhana, di mo mapipilit.

Ayokong mangarap ng napakataas
at baka madapa't di na maka-iwas
tama na'ng makita ka't mamasdan
sa puso ko'y saya ang nararamdaman.

Kalikasan

Pagkaganda-ganda nitong kalikasan
Puno ng rikit rito at riyan
buhay at iba't ibang kulay
Ang kalikasan ay siyang taglay.

Iba't ibang ibon ang dito'y dumapo,
mapa-maya man ito o mapa-loro
Umaawit-awit sa tuwina
para bang di tumitigil, ako lamang ay nagtataka!

Kung paghambingin ito sa litrato,
at sa iyong paningin ay di na naglalaho.
ang taglay nitong kakaibang ganda
para bang humahalina sa tuwina.

Ito'y biyayang ipinagkaloob ng Diyos
kaya gamitin ng lubos-lubos
ngunit huwag naman sana nating abusuhin
sa halip, ito'y pakamamahalin.

Ito'y may taglay ding kapayapaan
sa isipan ng bawat mamamayan
kung baga sa langit ito'y paraiso,
huwag sana nating iabuso.

The Fragile Heart

I know you'll never be mine
but still I'm waiting behind
For you to notice, I guess?
It gives my heart stress...

Whenever you're near, it leaps!
whenever you're there, it peeps...
I just don't know what it is about you
that made it happen through and through.

Don't you notice?
Won't you ever notice?
My fragile heart is in pain!
It's making me insane

You're near yet too far
it seems there's always a bar
that made it impossible to glance
just a glimpse of chance.

Realizations

Once in your journey,
You felt some misery
Misery that troubled you.
Thinking that you can't get out of it,
But still you can do it.

Attending parties everywhere
Everywhere and somewhere.
But still you can't find -
The true happiness behind.
