SADNESS

Tears fell
Heart cries,
In silence no one knows
As the soul mours from deep sadness.

Repeatedly, it's coming back
Always hurting
Kept asking questions
Asking which is what?

Like a bomb
You cannot tell when
But you know it will happen one day.

Should I let you go
To subside the pain
Will love be enough?

Are hopes sufficient
Do you want it bad
Is the person still enough?

If one day you no longer see,
No more talk
No more casual lies,
Perhaps surrender should be entertained.

RECOGNIZING HIM

Did you see Him today?
Did you drop by, at least to say "hello"?

Were you able to open up?
or did you just go there because you are expected to?

It is understandable, of course it's hard to believe, to surrender at something you cannot visually attest.

But FAITH need not have to be seen nor to hold, only you have to BELIEVE.

And whatever your religion is, be it Protestant, Islam, Catholic or Iglesia Ni Cristo, among others, faith has to be exercised.

Every now and then we need to see Him in His house, temple, or church, or whatever you call it because we have to connect.

We need to bridge our relationship to God, that no matter what you call the God you are borned with, you have to show your regard to Him.

It is also important to acknowledge His existence, that you recognize Him in your life, and that things will not be peaceful without His blessing.

Not because your life seems okay you will not seek God, for it is better to seek His intervention, than He imposing to be in your life because I tell you that will be painful.

ATTITUDE

Attitude is a broad topic to deal with

because everyone has it.

And it is often reflected in the way one behaves or thinks of someone, an issue, or a situation.

That is why we do things for a reason, we associate because we must, and interaction takes in for greater understanding.

Still, the word is huge and confusing, that's why it has to be simplified like in life.

We do things for a reason, not in random but according to importance or priority.

Association has to be done with care because life is often tricky and misleading.

We exchange commonality for compatibility, a common mistake usual to all.

And because we do something that we thought are important and of value, we line them up in our list of priorities.

The tricky part comes in when we include one unimportant aspect to our life that should not be.

And when this happens we get distracted, lose direction and often put ourselves in a situation we don't want us to be.

Therefore, be very discerning because "not all that shines are gold" and not everyone is worthy of our attention, kindness, and attention.

SIBLINGS

They say a brother or a sister is like having a friend.

Although this is not applicable to all
there are some who lives true
that our siblings are our first real friend.

That while you have occassional misunderstandings and random fights
at the end of the day, your loved for one another still matters.

Sadly, this does not go for other people. There are brothers or sisters whose relationship will not even pass the word acquaintance.

There are siblings who are not on speaking terms, and not only for months but for years, and whose ties can only be identified in paper.

This rotten relationship were brought by many unsettled issues and disappointments.

The very reason why it is difficult on how and when to start again.

To those fortunate, and even to those with strained connections,  hold on to whatever is left of you.

Take care of your relationship as much as you value your bond with your partner, espouse, children, parents and friends because not all can enjoy the gift called brother, or sister.

HEART TALKS

Have you tried to listen to your heart it might be telling you something?

I am a living witness of the wonder and miracles of the heart.

Yes, I did shrugged off a promised I once made, to what I thought was already destined for me, and  braved a chance that has no certainty.

But before that realization hit me, I spent countless hours making my existence felt, noting we were then miles apart.

I grabbed every chance possible to talk to that special one whether through phone, messenger or simply in chat.

I tried to show the kind of person that I am without joining the arena of the guys who obviously wanted to win your heart.

From the time we were only dating until today nothing has change, only it grows everyday.

And true, time help us meet people in our life, but it is only our heart who decides who we want to stay.

Thank you for staying through all the good and bad times.

BATAYAN

Batayan,
malawig
na
salita
na



kailangan intindihing mabuti.

Batayan, maaring patungkol sa isang salita na kung ia-analisang mabuti ito ay pamantayan.

Ngunit sa iyo may mabilis at malawak bang kahulugan ito?

Ito ba ay panununtanan mo ng narating mo sa buhay?

Ito ba yun mga bagay na nagagawa mo na dati ay kinakaya mo lamang?

Marahil kaya ito ay materyal na bagay na dati ay tinitignan mo lang.

Hindi kaya naman ito tumutukoy na sa kakayahan na may dalang kasikatan sa kasalukuyan na dati ay inaasam lang.

Saan ka man dinala, at ano man ang pakahulugan ng batayang nagsisilbing gabay ng ngayon para sa iyong bukas, hangad kong lagi ay magtatapos ito sa habang buhay na ligaya.

NEVER FORGET

Photo credit to ru.depositphotos.com

In our busy life and desire to stay focus with our self made goal WE become passive.

We forget the rule of the universe.

We tend to overlook people by accident.

We look at narrow things rather than broad.

We carefully select whom to identify ourself.

Not minding the values that you are losing, the regret that you will later unleash and the pain from all the realizations that you will later pour out.

Photo credit to pinterest.com

That is why it is most important that even in our toxicity, in days when you feel that things are not being fair, when those people around and closest to us have become disappointments, it is good to still recognize and do one act of good deed.

Remember the saying, "what comes around goes around."

If you do good even in the smallest way or act it has a way of going back to you in the most unexpected way.

And when you do bad though unitentional, it has its way too of coming back to you, worse even to people you love the most.

EXPRESSION

Some time in our life we care to express.

We love the feeling of imparting something.

Expressing can be done in a form of message such as text, messenger, or dropping by at someone's place simply to say "hi or how are you?"

And it doesn't have to be on a daily basis, timing is all that is needed.

But what if you lose the attention, probably tired of being in the other side.

Whether in an intimate relationship or in friendship, we have a responsibility to keep.

Responsibility to keep the relationship, to see that it is still in order, to know that the other is okay, and to check if you are still okay.

It is sad to know there are people who wants being check-out every now and then, yet fail misserably from doing their part.

Remember, regret always come after we have done the things we should have not.

FAITH

There are times that we almost let go.

We felt we are on the verge of collapse, of losing hold.

Often times when we are on that moment we felt so alone, that no one can help.

We cry, we question, everything, from our worth, capabilities and even our faith.

But have you ever thought why you are put in that particular incident? why you seemed so trap in that instance that you keep coming back?

On why you had to re do it over and over again, that you will realized you are at the low point of life?

Let's try to move backward a little, please? what were you doing with your life before the trouble? Were you too preoccupied?

Are you not forgetting someone's name? His name?

Are we not repeatedly coming back to that stage of life where we have no control of, when we are vulnerable and so weak, because we always forget?

There are things man cannot explain, but there are things only faith can help us understand and get by.

DAMDAMIN

Nasubukan mo na ba?

Damdaming hindi maipaliwanag.
Hindi kayang matukoy
Ngunit kaya itong magdala ng galit at saya.

Hindi man maintindihan tunay na damdamin sa kanya.

Hindi man batid ang nararamdaman niya sa iyo.

Ngunit lahat ng pagkakataon sa kanya gugustuhin mo.

Nagtatanong man ang isip tama ba,
Hindi ito alintana sa ngayon.

Dala ng takot na matapos at lipasan ng sandali

Kaya nais na walang masayang na pagkakataon sa iyo.

Sana hindi magbago, lumipas at matapos ang lahat,

Kung ito man ang sinasabing pagmamahal sana maari itong magpakailan man.

ONE DAY TO SPEND

How would you accept the fact
that one day you will be forced to let go everything you have acquired and valued throughout your lifetime.

That lovely moment you enjoy from the second you open your eyes, up to the time you retire at night.

Those things you have grown so accustomed with, that you have forgetten you are not actually related.

Those people you hold dear to your heart - your family, children, and loved one will you be courageous enough to say bye?

Once more how will you handle the fact that while you are hurting, you will also hurt them?

That one day you will not be around to at least comfort them.

And the most hurting reality is that soon you will no longer be relevant to their life.

That one day they will move on because it is you who will step out of their life, eternally.

Will love then be not enough to hold and to just hug them while you can, along with those random kisses until you becomes weak and tired ... and can only say BYE.

BEST THING

It has been a while
 when the love I know has come.

That feeling that can bring one's emotion to spiraling height.

That tenderness, that you wish can be reciprocated.

A desire that one day you want to be in someone else's dream.

A hope, that same someone will also wish they can have you in their life.

That one day, that special someone will tell you "YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST THING THAT HAPPEN TO THEIR LIFE."

That he will not trade a moment in exchage of you.

FROM A DREAM

You were always a character
in a dream that repeatedly played
for over two decades.

Every time I was about to take a significant step, in my mind you will go back.

And every visit you made,
literally distracted my waking life, although you appear only in the quietness of the night, in my dreams.

You would always tell me of our soon to be meeting, constantly reminding that I need not have to worry because we will recognize each other.

Time passed, a lot of things have changed and I forgot about you during those busy days.

Then one day, after 24 years a meeting has taken place among high school batchmates.

Without a warning, not even a slightest  sign, we suddenly talked, the first real talk.

Finally the dream came. It was not during high school, definitely not after.

The first real one took place at exactly 24 years after we have grown into a person that we are, shortly before love define us. #

MEG

Looking at you is always a mixture of feelings.




You are a picture of innocence and happiness.

Joy comes naturally to a weary soul every time you smile.

That cute little eyes, your equally petite lips, and your minuscule body that when you move make you even lovely.

Don't grow yet not so fast.
Stay young, adorable, and happy like you always be. #

WHEN LIFE MEANS TO LIVE

In a far away land
when happiness means to laugh and smile.

And when hurting means tears.

When family means living under one roof.

I wish a child will never beg for food.

No more family will take shelter from abandon buildings.

That fathers need not have to make a living out of killing innocent people.

That community will once again regard the importance of life, family and neighborhood.

That each one again will be seen for what they can contribute, and not on what they cannot.

SOLDIER

Hurt, wounded, bleeding,
seeking help, compassion.
Sadly, no one came, no one heard.

While crying for assistance, I know
I need to calm down, stop crying.

Murmuring, I told self you have to be okay.

Yes, I said to self, repeatedly, you will be okay.

So, I took a deep breath, and another,
before I finally get up, walking, limping.

One day I will be okay again, oneday.

It may take a while, but you will be well.

I walk without turning my back, as I tried to hold the pain,  and like echo telling myself, one day soon it will just be a memory. #

SOMETIMES

photo courtesy of google.com 

In a room that is dark the only sound you can hear is

that from the electric fan, and a music
     from a nearby house.

The moment is calling to assess,
  to think things again,
  what's happening, and see
  what can be done.

Sometimes it's good to have a friend,
 that one person you can call,
 someone who will listen,
  who will say it's okay to be weak
  from time to time.

That he can ask you how you are,
  are you okay, are you happy?

 That it's okay to miss the friendly warmth touch, that tap,
    and caress, that can give
   comfort to the ailing body.

And yes, sometimes, I miss the love
  that is outpouring, that I wish
  to have when life is not at its best,
  when it tends to be elusive and irreproachable.

UNCERTAINTY

photo by Iram Bueno

In a long yet narrow path
  uncerainty is the only
 thing certain.

In the stillness of the moment, I wonder if you ever think of me.

Am I in love?
Again, I ask myself, are you in love too.

But a rather intriguing and painful question I posed to thy self, with whom?

And if you are, were you happy?
  The heart yearns, hoping it beats
  for me.

Then suddenly, I heard a voice followed by a soft and tender touches  at my face, greeting me "good  morning" with a peck. #

What was once LOVELY

photo from google.com

It was lovely,
a picture of peace and beauty.

I remember dropping by
as frequent as
 I could, before.


In the hopes that one day I can own the place.

In a wish that one day I will be recognized.

In a prayer that dreams do come true.

Slowly, the flowers bloom, the leaves grow and the petals multiply by the dozen, and in various colors.

But while it appears beautiful and serene, sometimes the emptiness sink in.

That no matter how much you love, and how you want to share the feeling, there is no greater loneliness than being alone and empty.

PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE

In the midst of chaos, grief, loss or struggle
to achieve what we hope in life.

Sometimes, we lose track, in our desire to achieve that golden chance in this lifetime.

More often than not, we even accidentally lose our self, values, love and even the person we think we are.

There are some who are fortunate to realize this early in life. And for those aware, we reassess and evaluate our priorities, as well as the direction we want to face.

There are also those who failed to recognize the indications, or simply ignore the signs thinking the reason for their struggle is more important.

No wonder there are people nowadays who keep on sharing and adding friends to their social media account, precisely because they want to feel connected, when actually they are not.#

Goodnight

photo by google.com

In the quietness of the night
 and the stillness of the moment
I turn and look at you.

Always calm, 
sober and lovely as your eyes are close, one arm wrapped around me.

I love the scent of your hair, the heat of your body and sometimes your lips would touch mine.

While the moment is serene and I  love to enjoy the moment, I can't help but close my eyes too.

To embrace this opportunity that life has given me, to sleep beside you and hopefuly to open again in due time to welcome a brand new day.
