prostitute

The rain is calling out her name
Please help her through the pain
It's been so long since she last prayed
For Your mercy.

Hope give her strength for another day,
God give her a break from this cruel game.

She sells herself for her mistakes
She gives her soul for a better mate.
No time to cry herself to sleep,
Her heart can only keep...

The tears she couldn't show anyone,
The love she had for a vanished son.

Bridge:

But if she opened her door
Would you comfort her?
And if she told you her life,
Would you listen?
If she broke down and cried,
Would you wipe her tears?
If she gave you her love,
Would you take her?

recycled

Naputol ang sinulid na tinahi,
Upang ika'y maikubli sa mundo.

Pinagtagpi-tagpi ang tela,
Para sa sirang puso:
Pwede na muling gamitin,
Nang iba'y makasuot
Damit na pinaglumaan
Kahit maraming gusot.

beatle

I never thought this would be
Anything more than a game.

You called me your silly girl dear,
You were my beatle in lime.

You'd dress up all out of style,
I'd laugh out my heart 'til I cry.

You broke down all of my pride,
And watched how I slowly die.

You used all your magic on me,
And now I fear that you might bleed.

Now I realize how you get to me
Now I see how you set me free
'Cause now I can fly like your planes in the sky
Just hope I can be that girl in your eyes.

You often wonder why you came in this world,
I often wish you're for me.

You prey upon you star,
This pain might leave a scar.

Try my lies.
Keep me high.

Broken boy I'll be here for you.
You have brought me closer this time,
To a world I can never surrender.

Fate

We live in different sides of the universe.
Surely we shouldn't have doubted
Fate for bringing us together
Here, at this star, so small yet so bright.

We crossed every ocean, every land,
In search for something greater than ourselves.
We found the grand design,
That meant for me to finally meet you.

I keep on wondering about this day.
To trust on chance that she was untrue.
That every little detail, every narrow road,
brought me precisely to you.

Certainty is hard to grasp.
Faith, I had called for in each sorrow,
A virtue I tried my best to keep in check,
Believing life would not stray me from you.

Many times I prayed for all things to be in place,
Now I know the Lord was listening after all.
My prayers of thanksgiving, I sing in glee.
That God blessed me with love from thee.


I wish someday this poem I sing in truth, and love, and serenity.

tanong

Sino ka ba talaga?
Ano ba talagang gusto mo?
wag magtago sa gitara,
Kumanta ng iyong kanta.

Bakit ba gusto ka nila?
Bakit ba gusto rin kita?
Baka dahil gusto ka nila,
Tumitingin sa mata ng iba.

O baka dahil ayaw mo sila
At parang ayaw mo rin ako,
kaya't nais maangkin ka
Maging ang pipiliin mo.

Paano kung kasi mabait ka,
At laging mapagkumbaba,
Kami'y pinapatawa,
Binibigyang halaga.

my heart =p


















bato na nga, nasasaktan pa rin...
O.o

the pope

the pope, he was drunk
And he was hiding behind the crimson room.
He was a holy man
No more.

We need his confession
As the world who confessed to him.
Up at the highest floor,
Venture forth for his version.

They wouldn't let us see him.
He was a busy man.
At the top of the tower
He works with his minions.

No one believed us.
If they only saw with their own eyes,
How he walked as drunk men do
Up to his crimson red covered room.

shells

He was far away and he wrote me a letter,
He whispered in my ears
how he longed for us:
"The shells, shaped like our bodies would nevel feel."
Like we were forever unable to feel each other,
As the ocean fills every grain of sand with its embrace.

But we did meet, somehow,
Under a mushroom tree - which could never be real
And then the rain fell down.

He carried our baby
As he coughed.
Perhaps because of the cold.
And he was sick.

He tried to hide it.
The baby shouldn't hear,
Shouldn't feel
The cough and the cold.

stranger

He was a stranger who I didn't love,
A friend I always wanted,
And a love I could have had
-but only in my dreams.

He changed and became the man I wanted
rather the man I didn't think he could become.
And he did.

And it hurts to know he is no longer the stranger I didn't love.

panibagong suliranin

Bakit ba kapag pinigil ang apoy
Parang lalo pang sumisiklab?
Liliyab, parang gusto lumaban.
May sariling buhay na ipinaglalaban,
Ayaw bitawan.

rose

My dear Rose
She needs my waters
She awaits for the world to tame her.
And follow her.

She loves like other roses:
the best way she can; beautifully.

She pierces his heart with her thorns
As if trying his love and patience.
