Sa lahat ng bagay, Alpabeto ; Ako ay si, Talangka

=== SA LAHAT NG BAGAY ===

Sa lahat ng bagay, iyong pag-igihan

Hindi lang sa iisa, hindi lang sa iilan

Marami kang kayang gawin kaibigan

Ang sarili'y 'wag mong limitahan

Pag-igihan mo sa bahay, sa trabaho't lipunan

Ang iyong pagkatao'y may likas na kakayahan

'Wag kang susukong tumuklas

Na tila isang batang musmos na sabik lumakas

Batang wala pang muwang

Batang walang kapaguran

Batang gagawin ang lahat

Maabot lang ang nais sa kawalan

Sa lahat ng bagay, pag-igihan mo lang

Hindi ka nag-iisa. Hindi ka lubusang nag-iisa

May gagabay sa'yo, maghanap ka lang

Kaibigan o pamilya, maabot mo 'yan

Blame it on me
For I am the guilty
The one strucked by fate
Seen through misfortunate gates

Blame it on me
For I stand in the front lines
The sole actor in the crowd
The stain fetched from the ground

Blame it on me
For the red strings were detached
My marionettist has gone
And set of eyes has been cast

Blame it on me
For the lies I believed
The pain I conceived
For it is I that hath bleed

Blame it on me
For I let myself be controlled
Placed in a trash
Left in a hole

Scream 2.0

I wanted to talk

Not through these gadgets

Not through fancy techs

I wanted to sit beside someone

Not with virtual hugs

Not with their online presence

A human incubator could bring back life

Can't we do the same here and now?

So I could still speak while I can

Yes we are now all connected

But blinded by the illusion

That within this web we intertwine

Then I'm posting this up

Very ironic as it may seem

Well, what choice do I have

No one hears this voice even if it screams

HangOver

Nauseous feeling that kept me awake for so many nights

The chills that it gave from dusk ‘til the sun shun bright

“I miss you” was the only thought I repeatedly chant

Longing for the soul that made me lose interest of what’s at hand

Limot na Paalala

Dangal ng aking malawak na mundo

Tinig na kinilala at ilang beses ng nagpatotoo

Sa kabila na ang bansa’y may mabagal na progreso

Ay ang patuloy na pamamayagpag nito sa kabilang ibayo

Darkness

Darkness attracts a community

And for some reason it stays more than it should

But was it there to glimmer?

Walking proud with hands held high?

Martyrs of the Unknown

Bonds so tight it could kill a life

Never brutal but instead, 'twas crucial

A bond rare enough to become an opportunity

Giggles around a life that sings for eternity

Speak thy heart, speak thy mind

Still you'll be fooled and left behind
Trust someone of what they say
For I have seen and am in dismay

Regrets

Shall I compare this to a world in dismay?

What if we did

What if we did not

Whose fault is it for that broken heart

Birthright

Mindless, stupid and carefree
How I wish I've been there to see
Merrily, merrily
You old hags never felt misery

Tahanan

Minsan pa’y isa nanamang masalimuot na karanasan

Araw-araw ay nababalot ng hindi magandang alaala

Ngunit mayroong isang lugar kung saan lahat ng ‘toy lumalapat

Natutuwid ang gusot sa tulong ng mga kaakibat

We are United

This was supposed to be an entry in a contest in Symbianize which was themed "Inspired By". Well, I didn't make it in time so I'll just post it here.

This is a poem inspired by Langston Hughes from his work, "I, Too, Sing America"

Hearing your words are like treasures found

You singing songs and I’m totally bound

From your arms and eyes I could not break free

But in my heart I know, with you is where I want to be

Happiness

Happiness,

Where can thou art be?

I miss the intense feeling

Where you share your laughter with me

Happiness

Where can thou art be?

What I Have Lost

Restless nights with a stream of the past

A silenced recalling of what I’ve done

What I’ve lost, and what I’ve gain

With conclusions of what if I didn’t cause the pain

Pieces of the Puzzle

Fates declares its judgement

One who cries with conscience

Let life be and see

The light that embraces me

Melancholic display of passion

Rises between our visions

Bringing down the city of silence

Awakens the hope of those who have fallen

AfterLife - An Anti-Valentines Day Presentation

Not that I hate valentine/heart's day or am I anything related to the pain expressed in this poem I wrote. This is simply a challenge given to writers at Symbianize for the month of February.

So here's the instructions given.

Write a poem about deadly love, killers, stalkers, femme fatale, cariño brutal, or anything that attacks/hates what the valentines day stands for: love. Hindi pwede ang mga pakilig-kilig dito. Pwede yung magpapa chill to the bones dahil sa fear or hate. Yung mga nasawi sa pag-ibig, both literally and figuratively eh gawan nyu ng tula yan.

Enjoy reading!

Reasons

So what reason did you come up this time?

Do you even felt happy with that?

Don't worry 'cause I'm definitely fine

Reminiscing the moments when you were mine

Kasalanan ko ba?

Masama ba loob mo kaibigan?

Wag ka mag-alala hindi ka nag-iisa

Dumaan din ako sa hirap..

Minsan ay mayroon din namang ginhawa

Nadidismaya ka ba sa paligid?

O di naman kaya'y sa mismong ginagalawan?

Naranasan ko rin yan

Ibang sitwasyon nga lang ang aking kinalagyan

Oh Gloomy October

To end my month of October, (Well, it's better late than never...)I present to you.. "Oh Gloomy October"

Oh the anger that binds me

The hatred that continues to bother me

As I fill up this creepy biography

Is that I'm made up from you and me

I enjoy being with you

I love it when you're around
