Here I am, I am here.
Can't you feel me?
Can't you see me?
Here I am, I am here

The pain crashed your bone,
You have broken your stride
But you were never alone,
For I never left your side.

It was a privelege to be there
To held you up and lead you somewhere
I was happy to give you comfort
I was happier to be your support

A happy face is hard to feign
And you are still in great pain
Sadness, is what your eyes show
How would I end your sorrow?

What should I do? I felt so desparate.
And it breaks my heart to realize in this state
No matter what I do, no matter how hard I plead
Will result to nothing for I'm not the one you need.

But still, my dear,
Here I am, I am here
Even if you don't feel like it
Even if you don't see it
Here I am, I'll still be here.

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, 
And sorry I could not travel both 
And be one traveler, long I stood 
And looked down one as far as I could 
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

--Robert Frost

Love Unspoken


Your eyes close, a fringe of lashes,
holding back the tears as they gather.
Why is it you hide from love,
even as it stands before you?
Your heart can see, love, even in the darkness.
Your hands rest at your sides,
though they long to reach out,
afraid to touch, afraid to feel.
Love in all it’s emotion, surpasses the physical.
Without even the faintest touch,
it leaves it’s imprint upon you.
Your voice hesitant, you dare not speak of love,
guarded, you keep your voice even,
afraid to let the emotion show.
Yet you give yourself away,
for I can hear love in your voice,
even as you pray for me,
even as you call out my name.
Your eyes speak of a love,
that has not yet found it’s voice.
I smile and let it go for now,
content to find myself,
in the presence of love unspoken.

Everything is black and white
No tint of color in my sight
What happened to the world so bright?
I wonder when we'd stop this fight?

Sadness fills this gloomy place
And I can't find a happy place
I wish to fill our gaps and space
And give you my warmest embrace

Being prideful sounds so smart
But this would take us far apart
Doing what's best is what I should start
Saving the friendship will save our heart

Don't Go Far Away


Don't leave me, even for an hour, because then the little drops of anguish will all run together, the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift into me, choking my lost heart. 
Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach; may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance. Don't leave me for a second, my dearest, 
because in that moment you'll have gone so far I'll wander mazily over all the earth, asking, Will you come back? Will you leave me here, dying? 

--Pablo Neruda

I closed my eyes, sought some rest
and placed my hand beneath my chest
The exact place where my heart lies
The exact place where I hear the cries
It's beating sound was so deafening
I can feel every beat on my skin
This heart has gotten so heavy and weary
From all the burdens it has to carry
Its irregular palpitations feel so scary
But for this heart I feel so sorry
If only I can take a scalpel and trace a hole
to take my heart out and leave my soul
If only I can temporarily stop its beating
and wait for the pain to take its fleeting
Nothing can be done but endure the pain now
This show will soon meet its traditional bow
Pardon me, my poor, fragile heart
Maybe we just need some time apart.

Most of the time it's really best to cry

Let the tears flow as if your eyes will run dry

The pain inside you makes you want to die

Don't worry, the pain will soon say its goodbye.

Nais ko nang mahimbing
Ngunit ako'y nananatiling gising
Sa isip mo ba'y ako'y nasa iyong piling?
At inaasam-asam ang aking paglalambing?

Huwag mo naman ako masyado isipin
Baka ika'y magsawa't mawala ang pagtingin
Nais ko lamang na sa iyo'y sambitin,
Wag mangamba, ika'y iniisip ko rin.

Kaunting oras na lamang at umaga na,
Nakatingin sa langit sa bukas na bintana
Iniisip kung ano ang ating tadhana
At kung sa dulo'y haharap ba tayo sa dambana

Mahirap intindihin ang nagbubugsong damdamin
Ngunit mabuti na ito muna'y pigilin
Ipikit na ang mga mata, tayo ay manalangin
Nasa isip nati'y magkakatotoo din.

May tamang panahon, Huwag tayong maiinip
Sa ngayon tayo muna'y manatili sa ating mga isip
Tulog na, aking mahal, ang aking panghalip
Ako'y bibisita sa iyong panaginip

Pag-ibig, Isang Patimpalak?


Ang aking pangarap

Pag-ibig mong mailap

Pinilit na mahagilap

At ikaw ay nahanap

Ngunit ako'y napatulala

Sitwasyon ko'y malala

Sapagkat aking naalala

Sayo pala'y maraming nakapila

Kumukuha ng iyong atensyon

Sumusugal ng emosyon

Nagbibigay ng panahon

Na tila ito'y kompetisyon

Sa dami ng sumusuyo

Ako ba'y dapat ng lumayo?

Mistula bang malayo

Ang pag-asang maging tayo?

Sa aking mga kalaban

Sa hugis ng pangangatawan

At sa kanilang kagandahan

Ako'y walang kalaban-laban

Ako ba'y susuko?

Ano ba ang laban ko?

Akin lamang maipapangako

Pag-ibig na hindi mapapako

Hindi ka magrereklamo

Iyon sana ang makita mo

Iyan ang aking pagsamo

Pag-asang nais matamo

Tila kalaba'y humahalakhak

Sa kabiguan, ako'y nasasadlak

Tanong ko lamang, sa aking pag-iyak

Pag-ibig nga ba'y isang patimpalak?

Nakakalungkot isiping

Pag-asa ko'y katiting

Ngunit sa puso ko'y hinihiling

Sa dami ng sayo'y nahuhumaling

Na kahit sila ay unahin

Ako'y di mawawala sa'yong paningin

Dahil ako ang iyong pipiliin

Pipiliin na mahalin.

At 'pag ako ang napili

Hindi ka na masasaktang muli

Mamahalin kita sa bawat sandali

Dahil sa puso ko, ika'y walang katunggali

Amalayer? :-p


Lack of sleep, a yawn

Is such a shallow reason

To be silent and idle,

To spare a chuckle,

To fake a smile,

To talk for just a while,

To be mentally away,

To be not okay.

It's a sad, sweet lie

That you unbelievably buy

But I'll keep mum about this

this unjustified feeling, I'll dismiss

'Cause its just senseless

When you don't care any less.

Sudden Nocturnal Death Syndrome


I thank my God today
I'm still alive, I'm glad to say
I was aboutto pass away
But He chose for me to stay

My body is immobile
It won't move, it kept still
The nightmares, the fear I feel
I can't breathe, my efforts were futile

I wondered what would happen
If I was never awaken
My passing would be so sudden
And I will soon be forgotten

Awake, I stayed
And I continuously prayed
God will come, His arms laid
'Cause in saving, He never failed

Thank You, Lord, You are my saviour
I have survived the painful tremor
Staying alive is in my favour
The black dream got back its colour

Tonight, As I lay in my bed
I'm assured I'll be protected
Falling asleep, I will not dread
With God, I won't fear being dead

L’amour est un mot à utiliser delicatement; 
delicatement, je te ferais des calins; 
calins, compliments; 
compliments sur ton beau visage, tes yeux de cristal et ta personalité d’ange; 
ange, mon ange; 
ange qui m’a choisi parmis tous les hommes;
homme, je suis le tiens;
tiens mon coeur, il n’y a qu’un mot pour decrire ce que j’éprouve;
j’éprouve l’amour.
-Anon.

Failing

A failure is depressing
And it seems humiliating
The results are frustrating
And away, some end up passing

But there's something with failing
that most people are missing
It is a new learning
That you'll consider a blessing

Failing is not quitting
It is a start of better sowing
and thriving and reaping
That will make us a better being

So never stop hoping,
Never stop striving
'Cause behind our struggling
there's someone out there helping

Thank You Father that I'm failing
Your plans are always pleasing
Failing is just a bitter beginning
Success is the sweet ending
