BRIGHT STAR

I walked barefoot on the warm sand

the cold breeze sent shivers in my hand

I thought that darkness will forever be here

until you came and pulled me near

though we cannot promise forever

and we'll not exchange vows with each other

the world may never understand

still in my heart you'll always be

more than friends yet less than lovers

I feel more satisfied than ever

my love for you had grown much stronger

and I feel that you can't live without me any longer

though you doesn't realize your worth

to me you are more than the world

I will always be here at your side

like a bright star in your dark night

PAYONG

ginising ng malamig na ulan ang aking kaluluwa

noong ika'y aking unang nakilala

ako'y nalulumbay ngunit ikaw ay umalalay

sa payong mo ako ay isinabay

munting kabutihan di naglaoy lumago

yumabong sa pagtitinginang hindi amitago

hindi inaasahang puso ko'y mabibigo

sa iyong pag-ibig ako'y nagsumamo

sa kabila ng iyong tahimik na pamamaalam

pag-ibig mong di maialay sa aki'y ipinaramdam

mundo man ang humadlang sa ating pag-iibigan

pangalan mo'y isisigaw ng aking puso't isipan

CANDLES

I found her lying helpless, crying on the floor

eagerly listening for a knock on her door

she waited patiently, but still her hopes have died

to see the one she loved from which she is denied

candles shined weakly in the darkness of the night

she faithfully wished as she watched its sparkling light

praying that she may see him before her last day

finally, closed her eyes and slept from where she lay

because she is so weak, she didn't felt him coming

he came, lifted her head and kissed her trembling lips

wrapped his arms around her and whispered on her ear,

"I missed you my love 'coz in my heart you are dear“

“I’m willing to give my life to win your heart

I won’t let the two of us to be apart

You are mine and I’ll be forever yours alone

Because in my life you’re the only light that shone.”

She slowly saw her eyes, saw her beloved

She smiled at him, held his hand and softly she said,

“I am very thankful to the lord who brought you here

I feel that I am so blessed, now that you are near.”

the candles slowly burned and shined as time stood still

the beat of their hearts are the only thing they feel

the rushing of their blood is very dear to hear

they drowned deeply and forgot everything they fear

the moon and stars flickered beyond the horizon

he kissed her lips and their skin flamed with one reason

they exchanged vows and promises they’ll keep

that their love will remain on whatever season

they woke up in the room where the sun dimly shined

she said, “I know my love that now you shall depart

worry you shall not, cause I’ll keep you in my heart

I’ll give you a kiss that you’ll feel though we’re apart.”

he softly replied, “no my love, I will not leave

I won’t go without you, in my arms you shall be

a life without you, in the future I can’t see

forever it may be, you’ll always be with me.”

candles shined weakly in the darkness of the night

red flowers blossomed within the lovers sight

in the midst of nowhere they are prepared to fight

their true love protected them and served as their light

love can make you smile, cause a tear or even kill

like a candle burning even though time still

it shines in the midst of the darkness of the night

though their hearts are lost, they are guided by the light

HELLO STRANGER

hello stranger!

our roads crossed

I saw your smile

and felt I wasn't alone

hello stranger!

may I know your name

I want to befriend you

I hope you feel the same

I found comfort beside you

and felt that I need you

now that I found you

I will never let go

still, time comes to an end

our roads shall not meet again

I will bid you goodbye

and won't forget you 'til I die

LOST

I knew I took the right road
but they lead me to a dead end
to a dark place I never knew
I longed for someone to be with me
but nobody saved...nobody
I lost my way and lost my life
I experienced the longest nights
they never seem to end
I lost myself
I hid beneath the bushes
away from the light of the full moon
I will be hiding and running forever

PARASITE

the brightness of the sun died as darkness filled her room
tears fell down her eyes when she felt the coming of her doom
as darkness touched her lips, her heart pounded with desire
desire to indulge the sweetness that will never die

she lost her way in the middle of a long, long road
she almost gave it up because of her heavy load
she closed her eyes when she felt warm hands wrap around her
she let go of herself and said, "please take me away!"

"take me away! take me away! I give you my life.
I surrender you everything, I won't give a fight.
I wanna drink your blood, fill me in within your might.
let us feel the joy of this cursed life though it ain't right.“

she opened her eyes and realized who the man is.
he smiled at her and said, "touch me, feel me, drown in me."
"take me in, take me deep, you don't have to fight this now.

they held each other and walked towards the horizon
whenever they are together, they are unstoppable
she depended everything on him, she became his world
but nothing lasts forever, his love will never stay.

he started to get tired of her more and more everyday.
but she got addicted so she needed him to stay.
she said to herself, " where will I go? what shall I do?"
"I don't wanna be lost. don't go away, say you'll stay!“

still he went away and left her, now she lost her way
she found an escape, within the forbidden river's bay
she stepped into the water and drowned within it's stillness
the water conquered her body, now she's into deep.

blinded by the lime light, along with other lost souls
she can't see the top, she can't get out of the water
her anger pulls her back. she can't get any better
she wanted to have him back and wants him forever.

but he never returned, and back he'll never be
so darkness pulled the girl down, her feet were now in chains
she wanted to find an escape within the deep pain
but life is not so easy and back he'll never be.

she's now a parasite, she needed life from others
she drowned deeper within the stillness of the water
her visions fogged, now she can't see the way tog get out
and now she'll never know what her true life is about

LIFE'S LOST MEANING

I want to be free
from the waves of the dark see
I keep on drowning
slowly loosing life's meaning

I tried to fool myself once
and I realized the puppet I was
never have I done what I want
I only followed their chant

they act like they know it
never knew what's inside me
they feel like they own me
but they can't even see me

they say it's for the best
I followed and leave them the rest
the burden will be on my chest
forever, I'll be avoiding this test

LIGAW NA PAG-IBIG

takot ako nun...takot sa bagong mundo

walang kakilala't isang estranghero

tila ligaw at walang paroroonan

ika'y nakita, nalaman ang daan

sa bawat pintig...puso ko'y nasasabik

daang tinatahak sa'yo sumasapit

pilit mang itago laman nitong puso

tanging ikaw ang hinahanap nito

pag-ibig na nga ba...aking nadarama

samantalang ngayon lang kita nakita

ayokong aminin lihim na pagtingin

dahil takot masaktan ang damdamin

maaari bang umibig sa'yo sinta?

kahit na tayo ay ngayon lang nagkita

mahalin mo rin kaya isang tulad ko?

ako'y ligaw, sa'yo nagsusumamo

MAGKAIBIGAN LANG

sana kapiling ka pa rin

upang pangarap ay tuparin

na masabi sa iyo ang pagtingin

ikaw ang pinakamatalik na kaibigan

kasama ka at naging sandigan

di akalaing sa pag-ibig ay tuturuan

sabi mo na hindi pa iniisip

ang umibig kahit sa panaginip

kaya tinagong pilit

kita raw sa atin ang lambing

na kailan may hindi maihahambing

sa magkaibigan lang ang turing

pilit kong itinanggi ang nararamdaman

dahil natakot akong ito'y malaman

o mabigo kung sakali man

dumating ang araw ng aking paglisan

pangako kong di ka kalilimutan

ikaw lamang magpakailan man

ngayon ako'y nalulumbay

nagsisisi sa pag-ibig na di na naialay

dahil kailangan kitang tunay

KAPAYAPAAN AT PAGKAKAISA

kapayapaan...itoy' salitang di na iba sa atin
sapagkat lahat ay nagnanais na makamit itong pilit
ngunit bakit tila di na maabot
malayo ba ang paroroonan upang ito'y makamtan

pagkakaisa...iilan lang ang nakakaintindi
literal na kahulugan ang laman ng ating isipan
ngunit kalaliman ay hindi man lamang maaninag
kailan kaya? kailan kay ito madarama?

tanging solusyon sa mga problema
ay bukas na isipan at pagkakaisa
pag-ibig at tiwala sa diyos ang pinaka mabisa
upang ang kapayapaan na minimithi ay nakamtan na

HUDYAT

nakakatakot kung iisipin
pagbabagong dapat harapin
sa mundong puno ng dagok at dilim

noon akala ko'y buhay ay isang laro
na puno ng ligayang di maglalaho
ngunit ako'y mali dahil lahat ay nagbago

panginoo kami'y inyong gabayan
sa mundong aming kinatatayuan
naway pagsubok ay malagpasan

A FLOWERS GENTLE GRACE

time is running out for me

I just wish that you could see

the pain that lingers inside of me

as the rain fall from the sky above

it washes me with so much love

love that's not meant for me to have

I've never been in love before

I gave you my life and so much more

'cause I thought you're the one I've been waiting for

but still an angel caught your eye

as I leave and say goodbye

nothing's left for me but to die

wherever I may be, I will wait

even though I'm the one you hate

I'll just rely on my fate

as the wind blows upon your face

my love for you won't be erased

it will blossom like a flower's gentle grace

LIVE

spread my wings, spread and fly

feel the wide blue sky

feel the wind as it touches my face

and forget all the heartache and lies

shout with me, shout and scream

and leave all your bad dreams behind

clean your soul, clear your mind

there are things that you should find

love your life, it's worth a fight

even in the darkness comes a light

hold your heart, hold it tight

'cause it might get lost in the night

IF ONLY

if only...

i can make my heart stop beating

'cause you are the one I'm breathing

if only...

you're someone I can easily forget

that my heart will not regret

if only...

you loved me in return

I don't have to write this and burn

MAHAL KITA

mahal kita

sana malaman mo

hindi ko na kayang itago

ang nararamdaman nitong puso

mahal kita

sana mahalin mo rin ako

pero takot na takot ako

sa magiging sagot mo

mahal kita

sana sabihin mo ang sagot

laman ng puso mong takot

para mawala ang dagok

mahal kita

sana wala ng iba

ayoko ng umasa

puro sakit ang nadarama

mahal kita

sana mawala na lamang

rason ng buhay kong ikaw lamang

sabay ng pagkawala ko sa kawalan

TOTOO BA

totoo ba?
hindi na makakita ang aking mata
tanging ikaw ang nakikilala

totoo ba?
pag-ibig na nga ba ang nadarama
dahil dulot nito ay dusa

totoo ba?
lilipas pa nga ab ang nadarama
kung ang aking mundo ay ikaw na

totoo ba?
ang puso ko'y bumibigay na ba
habang hinihintay ka sa tuwina

totoo ba?
rehas ng puso ko'y ikaw na
pag-ibig...ikaw na ba?

SQUARE BISCUITS

I'm having my snack
I'm eating my square biscuits
suddenly I though how helpful math is!
I'll not know how many biscuits I ate
if math is not around
I'll not know how many cocoa powder I need in my mug
if math doesn't exist
then I thought, thanks math! you're a great help!

DEEP WITHIN THE LIES

I was so afraid, so afraid to feel

this things seems so unreal

because I know deep within my heart

these wounds will never heal

i never thought I would end up like this

feeling so miserable and dismissed

I just wished you never left

'cause in my heart you're truly missed

my love for you is brighter than the brightest stars
even if it caused me painful scars

I never knew what's in your heart

it drew me away from you like bars

but still these wounds gave me smiles

even if I walked a thousand miles

there's only one thing I realized

I can find love deep within the lies

LIGAW

nakakabingi ang katahimikang bumabalot sa paligid

ibinabalik ang oras na ako'y nasa mortal na daigdig

itong sandaling ako'y nalunod sa dagat ng kasalanan

at nakalimot sa ganda ng poong maykapal

barkada ang nagtulak sa akin sa kumunoy ng buhay na tila patay

upang makalimot sa ingay na dulot ng problema sa aking buhay

madalas dinadaan sa paglaklak ng alak at hinihithit ko ang langit na droga

para matapos ang problema at mamulat sa bulag na ligaya

ngunit lahat ay pagkakamali. ako'y nadapa at di makabangong muli

tapos na ang aking buhay at hindi maialis ang pagsisisi

sa pagsayang sa oras na dapat sana'y aking inibig at pinagbuti

ito ang aking kinahinatnan...sinusunog ang aking kaluluwa sa kailaliman

LOVE IS SAD

I know I did nothing

when i showed my love for you

I threw my ride and became strong

still i waited for so long

I feel like loosing my sanity

when I'm thinking of you

this feeling inside of me

wants to burst out of me

before the day you confessed your love

I already gave up

'coz it kills me to have

love that's so sad

I TRIED

when I first saw you, I thought you'll be just a friend

but as time pass I realized

that you're someone special

I tried to hide what I feel

but i just can't keep it

I really want to know

the day has come, you knew how I feel

I almost died when you threw it away

but despite of what you did, I'm still longing for you

LOVE ME

I tried to forget you

but I really can't do

'cause you mean so much to me

I cried many nights to heal the pain

but whenever I see you I can't forget

what you did to fool me

despite of what you did

I still love you and cherish you

please do love me too

SIJO

silence gives me peace
at the very dark evening
I can lay to sleep

BAKIT

bakit naglalaro sa aking isipan
ang mga bagay na hindi maintindihan
naghahanap ng kasagutan
ngunit lalong naguguluhan

hindi mawari kung ano ang nais
sa bawat sandaling nagdaan
pilit tinatanong sa sarili
bakit hindi maunawaan

SORRY

farewell is the last word I'll say

to my most beloved treasures

wishing them not to feel sad

for I am already leaving

without them in my life

I'm so fed up with my wrong thoughts

that made them go away from me

oh how I wish to start again

but surely, it won't happen

'coz I know they'll refuse to be my friend again...sorry

WITH YOU

I feel heaven when we're together
and I'll never let anyone destroy us
this friendship I kept
I'll never let us apart

please stay the same
'coz I love the way you are
I'll keep the memories inside
that I spent my days with you

ILLUSIONS OF LOVE

time quickly fades away
all we did are just like yesterday
fun and happiness was always with us
for we cherish each other so much
yet it was yesterday, not now

today , I finally realized
all I had was illussions of love
fooling me was easy for you
for I am stupid to trust in you
you made me a fool and it hurts inside

INSIDE

time quickly fades away
it's just like yesterday
we're holding still and tight
even if I refuse
I really need to go

but time is not enough
tomorrow is for you
it is never for me
I will stay at your side
and I'll be there inside

NOT MEANT FOR EACH OTHER

I don't want to loose you

don't let me feel this way

‘coz I tried to hold you

and keep you in my arms

but all I got is the feeling

that hurts me so much

I want to tell you

that you're making me feel so bad

time has passed and now I knew

that I'm hoping for nothing

I just tried to be a good friend

and now I know, it's not meant to be
