Maybe

I could sit here

and write all day

But then again

i think of more why

Maybe someday

i will know a purpose

When I am wiser

Maybe I will appreciate every single action

that I did

Maybe I am not wasting time after all.

What a wonder

No more than i could ever imagine

Far far more than what is real

but it is real

It is the one that we shut our eyes to

The truth that we try over and over to neglect

Loida look at what you’re doing to him!

or are you still busy flipping your cards?

Fernando there you go sleeping all day again!

and when you wake up, I bet you’ll be holding that bottle in you hand

His streets are dangerous playgrounds

None-the-less, for him that’s not a bother

He enjoy’s acting to strange people

He makes fun of his so-called-life

Not a tear drops from his face

Because that’s just how it is

Someone must look after him

For heaven’s sake

He’s yet not even a teen

This Year

I will embrace myself

The whole me

And be thankful for every time I rise in the morning

I will love me even when I am scared

Even if I get lost and mistaken

I will accept every little fact about me

I am enchanted by my million dreams

Yes I am

I admit that I am not invincible

Sometimes I falter

But I always surpass all my trials

For I am guided

Guarded by angels

I will color the walls that succumb my freedom

Then I know I am unshackled

Useless

A book is useless when no one reads it.
An article is wasted when no one understands it.
A poem is not a poem when no one needs it.
Writing is just nothing when it has no purpose nor meaning.

POBRE

Madiin nyang tinipa ang kanyang gitara.

Sa saliw ng kanyang nilikhang musika,

tila iyong madadama ang kanyang saluobin.

Habang nag-iisa sa itaas ng entablado

at  nakaalis na rin ang kahuli-hulihang manunuod,

kanyang sinamantala ang sandali.

May mga taong salat sa kayamanang materiyal,

ang iba ay salat karunungan

at ang iba salat sa kapayapaan ng kaluoban.

Ibinuhos ang kanyang madamdamin piyesa sa isang gabing nanahimik sa pakikinig sa kanya.

***

Isang halik ng bagong taon para sa iyo kaibigan.

Pobre

MOREINA AGUILA

Born under a hurricane’s visit.

At her first cry,  she ordered the weather.

Roofs were raised.

Angels kept her safe from the very beginning,

They continued guarding her, guiding her.

As she grew, she learned how to hold a book

then how to understand between the lines.

She found wisdom within people

and started to write and draw

through her lumen fingertips.

You Give Me Reasons

You Give Me Reasons,

To breathe one more day,

To write more,
To enlighten minds,

To keep walking thru your path,

To do everything,
To make others happy ,

To participate,

To fight more struggles,

To think less for myself,

and more of what I can do,

To share your wisdom,
To keep on being stronger,
To give hope,
Rather than frustrations,

To give respect to those who made history,

To those who made me who I am,

To continue your legacy,
To those people who inspire me to be,
To make each of these letters worthy to be read,

To know the reasons

“that I am

because you were”

and each waking day is not a waste,
this existence is not mediocre.

For I am…
and you are the reason.

A fruit full new year to all of us.

Targeted like a bull

A panther once  envied the King Lion and wanted to steal it’s throne.

To his eagerness, he mastered a plan on how he’d be able to remove the lion from being the majestic leader of the pack. He gathered a lot of fruits, meat and served them all to the animals of the pack. He targeted their weakness. His goodness drawed attention to him and everyone loved him. Their innocence never brougth even a single one to doubt his sudden kindess to them.  

He started a rumour and said awful messages about the King. A lot of animals within his region believed in him and soon became his followers because of what they gain from the panther. Soon enough, he had brainwashed them all. The tables turned and he was hailed king. It has been the unanimous vote of the majority, the Lion couldn’t do anything under his power, since the strenght is in numbers, he accepted his defeat humbly. 

One of the panther’s followers asked 

“So my King, what are you going to do now, Now that you have your throne?”

The panther answered without thinking at all

“What else? I’ll enjoy my power.”

“I have all of you my servants to do my job when I was just like you-nobodies”

“And now, for your first duty, announce to everyone that they serve me all of their best fruits and best meat that they have.”

 

“I have been giving you all my food before, now, it is your turn to serve me.” Anyone who disobeys my orders will have their neck hanged.”

 

The packed were under stressed and felt scared. They brought up all their food until, they had none left for theirselves.

 

Hunger came to their tribe. One day, a rescue came in. Everyone vowed when they saw their true king. The majestic Lion lead the whole tribe to a shallow clear river. “All of you! You drink from the flowing water and hunt for you food.” The lion ordered. Not long enough the tribe regained their strength and realized that a true leader is someone who thinks less of himself and more of his people.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Immuned

Hits and blows

The heart remains steady

Plays numb

Overcoming every struggle

That’s A Filipino!

Inspired through every perspiration

Malapit na

Muling babawi ang lumubog na araw

Sisikat at iilawan ang sanlibutan

Lalago ang mga puno sa kagubatan

Mag-uugat at hahawaksa lupa ang mga binhi

Papapawiin ng ulan ang uhaw n batis

Papalakpak ang mga bata at maglalaro sa pampang

Lilipat ng malaya ang mga agila

Maririnig ang dagundong na sigaw ng haring leon

Sabay-sabay na lalangoy at magsisipagtalunan ang mga isda

Guguhit ng kanyang ningning ang bahaghari

Hihipan ng hangin ang mga nasisikipang hininga

Mamumukadkad ng sari-saring kulay at bango ang mga bulaklak

Muling magiging paraiso ang daigdig.

Malapit na

Malapit na

Malapit na

Malapit nang manatiling parangarap na lamang.
