Pasulong

Maramdaming awit sa di kalayuan ay narinig
Saliw na pumukaw sa alaalang mapanglaw
Sa puso at isipan pilit na inihimlay
Tuwirang kinalimutan at piniling mabuhay.
Ngunit bakit ang puso ko sa bilis ng  pagtibok
Hininga ko ay sukat na malagot.

Ang tadhana ay sadyang mapaglaro
Lungkot na dala ay napakarami pa
Mapayapang buhay na hinangad ng labis
Naramdaman ng sandali ay biglang aalis.
Kalooba'y inusig kung bakit nagpadala
Ang akala mong totoo ay kasinungalingan lang pala.

Sa sobrang pagod ng isip, ako'y napaupo
Pigilan mang gunitain ang alaalang masakit
Ito'y nagsusumiksik, ang diddib ko ay nanikip.
Sa aking inis, mga paa'y pinadyak-padyak
At sa sarili'y winika, "Lumakad ka ng pasulong!
Umusad ng dahan-dahan at huwag ng lilingon!"

Be You

Happiness is a decision
No one should be in it
Than you who intended it.
Shape your future in your mold
Not of anyone's bidding or word.

Reach for your laurels
Hard work and faith shall fulfill.
Take to heart what you do
And never allow nor let others
Make the least out of you.




If it were to cause you pain
Rise up and take your leave
Hone your skills and be well.
With head held high, come back
Live your life and BE YOU!

Take a Leave

Shattered emotions are out of date
Choice was free to keep
Hanging on to yourself, you lose
Everything about you is weak.
Words of wisdom are watered
Moistened and dry after
Substance of the same kind
Forever shall falter.



Immersed in hopelessness
Suckled by a dry land
Thoughts are parched and brown.
Blossoms be gone
Blooming will take a while.
I asked thee to find
For me a private getaway
I must take a respite and hide away.

Shackles, let it be lost
Free spirit I  desire the  most.
Hastened steps but not rushed
Cheerful faces, regrets not be found.
Engulfed with thoughts of yonder
Brief but meaningfully true.
Sweetness and fondness be alive
Seizing the moment, living I shall start.

Little by Little

Little by little, pain is easing
Little by little, anger is subsiding
Little by little, longings are inching away
Lest I get used to this, let me say,
" Thank you,  I am getting over you."
