One-sided
I love you.
I worship you.
Like a goddess.
My heart,
Mind,
Soul…
Your pedestal.
I care for no one but you.
I dream of a world where there’s only you and me.
Together.
Forever.
And you?
I feel needed.
Not loved.
You never loved me.
You never cared…
Never dreamt about you and me.
There’s no us.
There’s only you.
Your wants.
Your needs.
Your whims.
Your fancies.
You’re so in love.
With…
Yourself!
Me?
Loved me?
You never did.
Never will.
Like A Roller Coaster
Love’s indeed a roller coaster
Treacherous switchback it bestrides
It would throw you up and under
You’d grin… cry… but enjoy the ride
Be not afraid when love rolls down
Expect to be twisted and turned
Buckle up in delight be drowned
Before downwards the ride returns
Expect the twizzles and the twines
Hold tight… sit tighter… hug the flow
When spun and twirled never whine
Buckle up don’t ever let go
Love wouldn’t be any wilder
Than a ride on a roller coaster
Buckle up if you want to try
Be ready to laugh… and to cry
STOLEN KISS
A stolen kiss
Landed on a cheek
Cheek so soft
So pinkish.
That stolen kiss…
Triggered an avalanche
The snow slid
Buried the thief.
So deep
So sweet
Stolen kiss…
Crawled to the lips
Down the loops and the twists
Till the thief touched the edges of the cliff.
Plunge did the thief
Down into the abyss
Trench so deep,
Then peaked at the bottom of the pit!
Huli Na Ang Lahat

(Inspired by Bruno Mar’s “When I was Your Man”)
Kamang higaan ko biglaang lumuwag
Walang katabi’t sa aki’y yumayakap
Kanta natin noon na dulot ay galak
Kapag ngayon nadinig ako’y naiiyak
Kapag pangalan mo’y aking nadidinig
Magugunita naglaho mong pagibig
Walang magagawa kundi ang pumikit
Luha’y aagos magsisikip ang dibdib
Kung yakap sa iyo’y aking hinigpitan
Kung panahon ko sa iyo’y inilaan
Kung ng bulaklak kita ay hinandugan
Baka sakaling ako’y ‘di mo iniwan
Nakalimutang kita’y pahalagaan
Pinabayaa’t hinayaang masaktan
Hinayaang magdusa’t mata’y luhaan
Kaya’t nagpasya ka na ako’y iwanan
Nang mawala ka kita’y pilit hinanap
Ninais kong sa iyo’y magpaliwanag
Nanalanging hindi pa huli ang lahat
Tanggapin muli ako at mapatawad
Sa pasyalan natin kita’y pinuntahan
Nagbakasaling kita’y matagpuan
Sa nasumpungan labis akong nasaktan
Yakap ka ng iba’t masuyong hinahagkan
Pain’s But A Myth
Venomous pain the Algea injected
In anguish and torment my soul screamed
“Journey to dreamland” Hypnos muttered
“Drown misery in my lake of dreams.”
But Dionysus countered “Visit my vines,
Feast upon my sweet magical grapes
Submerge anguish in the lake of wine
Dream not in languor but while awake.”
Aphrodite said “I’ll bring Helen
She can kiss your anxieties away,
Frolic with her in Dionysus’ haven
While I hold Menelaus at bay.”
When Thanatos arrived he whispered –
“Down there anxieties have no domain
Hold tight my hands waiting is Hades
Let death vanquish distress and pain,”
Rhea came last took my hand and smiled
Her turret crown beamed comfort and ease
On her laps I cuddled like a child
Then she told me “Pain’s but a myth.”
H’wag Nang Itanong

(Inspired by John Farnham’s “Please Don’t Ask Me”)
Tatanungin mo pa ba laman ng isip
Batid mong ‘ngalan mo dito’y nakaukit
Batid mong masidhi ang aking pananabik
Na makita ka’t mayakap nang mahigpit
Tanong mo ay bakit ‘di kita lapitan
Kung sabik ako’y bakit ‘di kita hagkan
Sa halip yumakap kita’y nilayuan
Takot na pagtangi ko’y iyong malaman
Sa gabi ang diwa ko’y gising na gising
Ngiti mo’y ilaw sa silid kong madilim
Pagpikit ng mata’y kita na’y kapiling
Nagkukunwari na pwede kang angkinin
Sa pagkukunwari’y lalo lang nasasaktan
Ngunit hindi pwede na iyong malaman
Kaya’t mahal man kita’t pinananabikan
Sapat nang sa malayo kita’y pagmasdan
Kung bakit sana ay h’wag akong tanungin
Kung mahal kita’y bakit ayaw kong sabihin
Kung malaya lang akong kita’y ibigin
Pagmamahal sa ‘yo di ibubulong sa hangin
