Strangers



Hello, Stranger
what brings you here?


the baggage
the duffle luggage
and your dusty feet

the crease
the unease
and the frown in your face

Hello, Stranger
you must have come a long way


you hummed
a melancholic song
with words strong

you talked in haste
you said you don't waste
words you draw with grace

Hello, Stranger
You make me interested


you offered your hand
in the street we danced
while the music played inside our head

i saw you smile
i stared at your eyes
while clouds of dust enveloped us

Hello,
Stranger you are no longer


but the swirling led me to fear
and the staring
to tears

and the music died
still, we danced in strides
till i saw your luggage piled

Hello, Stranger
You must be going somewhere


so i complained about my foot
so this dance
won't take root

i stared into the sky
not your eyes
so i won't cry

Hello...
Stranger dragged his foot and his luggage
put back his frown and hum melancholics
then, walked East

Stranger,
at least
remember
my name

He walked farther, i stood still
to each other we remained
nameless
Strangers

Sweet Love


You lay me out in the sunlight
The water kissed my toes and the shore
your hands hold me like pearls
and your stares pare me to the core

till sunset's gaze dissolve us two
you lock me in
you never let go
LAKAWON ISLAND 11/1/2013

we become one with the shore

oh love
sweet love
Dont let go, dont let go
i couldnt go through this night
without your arms
ending my fight
rescue me from this cruel night

oh love
sweet love

you didnt see the scar in my eyes
the love it has known is bitter to the bone
my soul has finally taken back its shape
my heart has finally unveiled the drape

Kevin Max sang "on and on
We'll dance until the song is off the radio"
I'll go dance with you till my feet stumble
till you eyes get tired and my name
you couldnt even mumble

oh love
Sweet love

take me now to your island
own me, be mine
just be mine, you'll be fine
i will end your battles
your troubles untangled

oh love
sweet love

there's no better night than this
only you and me in this island of bliss
hold me till im awakened
by sunlight's real kiss

Amu ni Hu ( a repost)

amu ni hu...

ngaa bala nag-abot ka pa?
natak-an ko kay kis-a
daw buang ko
sige paminsar sa imo

kada ala-una sang kaagahun
ginabatyag ko ang imo yuhum
ay ambot!!!

kada aga sa kon pagbugtaw
ikaw nagatamyaw
ay ambot!!

teh...
teh...
kwa mo na?
daw sumpa ka!!

kay katawhay sang akon pangabuhi
gulpi lang ko nag sinululi
teh.. teh.. lipay ka?

kasabad sa imo
pero sige man ko pangita sa imo
ini bala gugma?
ukon daw la-on lang ako nga naga asa?

Teh, nalipay ka?

Hasta san-o ako maga - antus?
nagahulat sang gugma mo nga bug-os
kun wala ka plano nga higugma-on ako
LAYAS!!
LAYAS!!!
Kalinong ang ginahandom ko!

MAmangkot ka ngaa daw buang ko?
Teh.. AMU NI HU!!!!

Beautiful Moon

on my coldest night
a new moon was in sight
i basked under its glory
traced the edges of its beauty

my coldest night
turned into a fight
between wanting the moon in sight
and owning the pain of this night

so i said to the moon
" stay lovely
stay bright
keep visiting my nights
outshine me
illumine me
help me win my fights
whatever happens
don't leave your sky -
you're warming my night"



This is from my 'vault'. It has been posted before in one of my other blogs. :)

Third Poem

I didn’t know you’d last

until I write my third poem

I thought you we re feather like

Light

Unsaturated

Fleeting

Vanishing


In my silence you’d come

Rumbling

Shaking my skin and beneath

Leaving me

Slackjawed

Blue

Drenched


And when my gongs sound

Neon and orange lights dancing

And colored gumballs raining

On my usually cluttered life

You remain

Silent

Placid

Undisturbed

Careless

Unmindful


Guess you are more like the moon

Constantly changing your face

Ephemeral

Unmatched

Waxing

Then waning

Yet ever so uniquely

Illumines my night


This is one of my favorite poems from my 'vault'. I thought it would be nice to dig some pieces from there as my present situation doesnt allow me to produce some pieces. Its been a struggle writing these days.


I am finally ok. I thank God for the 'mind'. It helps us make sensible decisions. I thank God that after everything that has happened, I have only good things to remember. Well, its more of a choice to remember only the good things. What's the use of hoarding things that wont make you smile, right?


Well, here's me wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas. I'd be back for that well flavored Christmas post.And hoping I could write again with more depth. hehe. I kinda am embarassed at how shallow I have been writing.


thanks fro dropping by! Ciao!
