ISANG ARAW

Hindi na ako natutuwa.
Nagsasawa ako na iisa lang
ang naririnig.

Sana man lang mayroon din nasaan ka na? 
Na mayroon rin, late na bakit wala ka pa?

Hindi ako umiimik.
Wala halos mensahe
Baka sakaling mapansin mo.

Sa gabi, inaantay kita

Na kahit inaantok na 

Umaasang baka sakaling kamustahin 

moman lang.

Nasaan na ang taong minahal ko? 

Hindi ko siya makita.

Kung mawala kaya ako, 

Siguro, isang araw hindi ka masasaktan
Sapagkat hindi mo na rin ako nakikita.

Umiikot at natatapos ang araw sa buhay mo,
na buhay mo lang, wala na ako.

Malungkot na isang araw
muli akong magpapaalam
dahil naiwan na naman akong nagiisa.

Masakit kasi nakikita ko muli
ang sarili sa nakaraan,
na ang akala ko na hindi ko
kailangang iwan.
Na sa hinaharap, isang araw, kailangan kong muling pakawalan.

Sakaling mangyari nga maalala mo man lang sana kahit sandali ang kahapong nagdaan.

SOBS

As my heart sobs and cry, no one must see.

I am hurting, and in pain.

I thought love can do wonders.

That the heart can express what the tongue fails to articulate.

That in the absence of the words, love can help one understand.

When will you look at me?

When will you see me more than the eyes can see?

Should you lose me first 

So you can hear the sobs

or hear the words without the letters?

I am crying but the tears were withdrawn from the eyes ....

TAXING

Days passed

And the nights come.

I see you many times

Yet I cannot have you.

I love you, my mind says

But words won’t cooperate.

Unwillingly my eyes closed

And when it opened, again,

Another day has passed.

It has been that way for sometime

Should I regret?

No. We are together in this.

This is just another phase

In a life we both have agreed to share.

Tiring, taxing but never boring

Because ours is a life of purpose and LOVE.
