Child's Existence

Of all the melodies that’s fine to hear,

none is greater than the children’s laughter.

Of all the gifts we have received from God,

a newborn child really makes us glad.

But child… why sometimes there’s a question,

of what’s the purpose of your creation.

To whom you come wanted or unwanted,

whether your coming is blight or blessed.

But then… perhaps that question is in vain,

and may put everyone in shameful pain.

For if we question a child’s existence,

then we also dispute our life’s presence.

One of life’s stages worthy to look back,

the childhood years that helped us become tact.

The dreams that sprang-up from that early life,

alters the cycle of each human strife.

For the childhood life is the catalyst,

and shapes-up the mind as man would exist.

For the life now can’t be appreciated,

if the childhood life will be neglected.

I hope it's gone

There comes a time that I feel like stopping

In watching the stars in the grayish sky

For it appears that they have stopped twinkling

And they no longer smile but rather cry

I wonder if it’s because I’m mourning

And everything I see is black and blue

I wonder if it’s because my heart weeps

And beauty was no longer in my view

I mourn, I weep, tears falling on my face

Stars falling like fireworks in New Year’s Eve

The full moon’s bright but shadows hiding me

Hiding my heart which smiles no more but grieve

In the morning when the sun starts to peep

It does not shine but I see it frowning

It startled me and so I blink my eyes

Only to realize I was not dreaming

Perhaps the sun condoles with what I feel

Or marvels about my disposition

I wish to answer but none can be grasped

For my heart quivers and finds no reason

Tomorrow, I wish that my mourning’s gone

And I hope my tears will stop falling down

So shadows won’t hide me from full moon’s bright

And the sun will shine and no longer frown

Kahapon at Bukas

Parang kahapon lamang nang iyong sinabi

Na ika’y lilisan saglit sa aking tabi

Bagama’t ang puso ko ay nag-atubili

Ikaw ay lumisan nang sumapit ang gabi

Hindi ko napansin ang paglipas ng mga taon

At sa wari ko ika’y lumisan lamang kahapon

Ang kalungkutan ay pilit na ibinaon

Sa aking puso ikaw pa rin ang naroon

Hindi ka nilimot kahit na isang saglit

Mga ala-ala mo ang laging nasa isip

Mga ngiti mo sa isip ko ay di nawaglit

Ang mga tukso ay iniwasan kong pilit

Bukas aking mahal kung ikaw ay darating

Kahit saglit sana ako’y iyong dalawin

At kahit ako’y natutulog ng mahimbing

Sa tinig mo ako’y kaagad na gigising

At dumating nga ang inaasam na bukas

Tuwa sa puso ko ay sadyang mababakas

Subalit maraming oras na ang lumipas

Kahit anino mo ay hindi ko namalas

Tuwa sa puso ko ay napalitan ng lungkot

Bakit aking mahal ikaw ay nakalimot

Sa ating tagpuan ay hindi ka sumipot

Ngayo’y lungkot ang sa puso ko’y bumabalot
