Best Friends

The two of us
was like paper in glue.
Even though we had other friends,
it was only us two.

We have little fights
but didn’t really matter.
As long as we knew,
we will always be together.

If ever we would split,
I would cry a river and
I would go outside,
in the cold in shiver.

I love you so much because you are my best friend.
Together we can beat a strong wind.
I hope we stay friends to the end,
even when we grow up
we will stay as best friends.

A Sonnet

Keeping the warmth inside my heart
Another secret appears in the dark.
Thinking of what may happen
Helps me what to hasten.
Reaching that unreachable star
Inspires me to do the best that I can.
Nothing can make me stop loving you
Always think that even in hue.

Every time I feel your embrace
Seems like it can never be replaced.
Come here in my soul, my heart
After the day, I promise, we’ll never be apart.
Never say the words you don’t like to happen
Open your mind, and feel the mysterious breeze.

Learning Life

Life is not learned
for life is and must be
experienced.

By “not learned,” I mean
that life is not a simple
puzzle of words,
that life is not simply passed
on by mouth.

Words of mouth
give an idea of life
but words of mouth
are not life.

Life is out there in the world,
waiting to be experienced,
waiting to be subjectively defined.

Life is an array of lessons
lived from one’s own experience,
from one’s own choosing,
from one’s own destiny.

I

I am crazy about everything,
all the things around me.
I can’t tell why,
because everything is just for the rhyme.

I am addicted to computer.
More than of that a gambler.
Also in lenses,
I have passion.

I never tire of playing games.
Every time I open one, it makes me exclaims!
It’s because I have an aim.
However, it gives me shame.

I can consume my time wisely.
I know life can be a little scary.
Even though we can be a little clumsy,
Just don’t be naughty.

I can wear many gadgets.
But I don’t have enough budgets
to buy these stuffs.
How I wish I had some magic staff.

I love to read a rhyming poem
especially those written on an album.
I have thoughts which are random
which you can find with ransom.

I like to play with words
but not with the nerds.
I’ll always move forward
And never be moving backwards!

God

God is not a thing to cherish

Nor a portrait to worship
But He’s more of a wind
That came from an unknown unknown
In an expected time
That only in the stillness of life
Can His presence be felt.

Best Friend

Into my darkness hours you were there

You are the lamplight, that brightens me anywhere
You are my pillow, that whenever I cry, you were always there
It only means, that you really care, and that I’ve proven, I swear

We’ve shared our lives with each other
And I realized, the way we’ve been together
Will be cherished and worth - remembering forever
Hope we do understand each other, that our buddies way will be flexible forever

I know it’s not easy to handle a best friend
Coz it takes a lot of trust, patience, inspiration to befriended
But, you win my applaud
And assure you both of us will be evoked

God gave me a special gift, and that is YOU
The heartfelt moments we’ve shared together
Will be a bridge that our intact relationship will not be blue forever
If you cry, I cry, but if you fall, I’m going to pull you up and cheer!

Grassroot Love

Like a grass that grows
So does my love flows.
Within the days
of our feudal encounter
I felt we need each other.

But thou art a sunflower
I am just a playground
of the grasshopper.
You sway with the high winds,
while I lay on the earth.
The smiles of the sun
makes honey-rich bees adore you.
My strength from thee strong rains I owe.

In the vast garden
I am just a weed
The place will not be Eden
without your nectar sweet.
In that piece of land we complete
for my right as the tenant
against your father as the lord.

Perhaps my love is a dream
But what I offer is eternity;
for as long as the grass lives
Your beauty will be protected by its thorns,
And when it will uproot and die
It will decompose for your nutrient desire.

Moment with God

Praise and glory to you Lord!
I thank for the wonder of my being
For it was you who created my being
You knitted me in my mothers womb.

All my ways lie open to your eyes
You alone knew the depth of my heart
Even before a word is on my lips you knew it
All my actions are written in your book.

I hunger for holiness
Here I am resounding to your call
Let my soul pines for you
My longings you satisfied
Good measure and flowing over
What more can I ask for?

How Much Do I Love Thee?
Thou knowest how much do I love Thee
For you alone within my heart can see
So, unto Thy hands, I placed myself
For thine to judge for mine and the world's behalf.

My Friend

When you are sad,
I will get you drunk and help you plot revenge against the evil bastard who made you sad.

When you are blue, ...
I'll try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

When you smile, ...
I'll know you finally got laid.

When you are scared, ...
I will take the piss about it every chance I get.

When you are worried, ...
I will tell you horrible stories about how much
worse it could be and to quit whining.

When you are confused, ...
I will use little words to explain it to your dumb ass.

When you are sick, ...
Stay the hell away from me until you're well again.
I don't want whatever you have.

When you fall, ...
I will point and laugh at you.

Ang Gabi, Ang Dagat, at Ang Pusong Nagdurusa

Ang dilim ng gabi'y nakikiramay
sa aking pagdadalamhati.
Ang mga tala at buwan
ay 'sing lungkot ng aking mga mata.
Ang hampas ng alon ay nakikisabay
sa aking pagdaing.
Ang karagatan nama'y siyang sumasalamin sa dilim.

Paano malilimutan
ang mapait na nagdaan?
Paano mapupukaw
ang masakit na karanasan?
Kung walang kukupkop
sa pusong nagdurusa.
Kung walang makikisama
sa nag-iisang kaluluwa.

Aftermath

My world was a bore
before you came into my life.
You changed it completely
much to my surprise.

No one ever made me laugh
quite the way you do.
You painted my skies,
make my sunshine too.

I thought it was love.
I thought it was you.
I thought we would watch
until the rainbows faded hue.

But as I look
at the rainbows today,
I was with no one
but the birds stray.

So, alone I sat
on out favorite rock
And silently watched
the troubled waves crash.

As water met soil
my teardrops fell
and blindly I stared
at the pale, risen moon.
