Looking out the door
I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations
As their shoes fill up with water


Maybe I'm too young
To keep good love from going wrong
But tonight, you're on my mind so
You never know


Broken down and hungry for your love
With no way to feed it
Where are you tonight?
Child, you know how much I need it.
Too young to hold on
And too old to just break free and run


Sometimes a man gets carried away,
When he feels like he should be having his fun
Much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,
He has no-one...


So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return?
Oh, will I ever learn?
Oh, Lover, you should've come over
Cause it's not too late.


Lonely is the room the bed is made
The open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one
Who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep
That won't ever come
It's never over,
My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over,
all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her...
It's never over,
All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter...
It's never over,
She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever...


But maybe I'm just too young to keep good love
From going wrong
Oh... lover you should've come over...


Yes, and I feel too young to hold on
I'm much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind
To see the damage I've done
Sweet lover, you should've come over
Oh, love, well I'll wait for you
Lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late.

Kung Ibig Mo Akong Makilala

Kung ibig mo akong makilala,
Lampasan mo ang guhit ng mahugis na balat,
Ang titig kong dagat—

Yumayapos nang mahigpit sa bawat saglit
Ng kahapon ko't bukas.

 Kung ibig mo akong makilala
Sunduin mo ako sa himlayang dilim
At sa madlang pagsukol ng inunang hilahil,
Ibangon ako at saka palayain.

Isang pag-ibig na lipos ng lingap,
Tahanang malaya sa pangamba at sumbat
May suhay ng tuwa't ang kaluwalhatia'y

Walang takda—
Ialay mo lahat ito sa akin

Kung mahal mo ako't ibig kilalanin.
Kung ibig mo akong kilalanin,
Sisirin mo ako hanggang buto,
Liparin mo ako hanggang utak,
Umilanlang ka hanggang kaluluwa—
Hubad ako roon: mula ulo hanggang paa.

romans 6: 12-18

nibble

just waiting for a bite
cast off into the ocean
a piece of my heart

you give me back your ear
to nibble nibble on

you feast on my mind like it's life's last banquet

deep into the depths of the ocean i go
never to be found again

our own paradise
in still slow motion.

the keys to my heart :)

When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall
In love

In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart
It will be completely
Or I'll never give
My heart

And the moment
I can feel that
You feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you

For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you should say.

Back to Him

i turn to the light   ---

the light flickers

inside my brain

i am taken back

where the black hole of my insanity

reverberates into my consciousness

i swim out from underneath the weight of you


cut ---

to my dream.

you let go of my hand

in slow motion

as your smile got wider

the hole in my heart got bigger

and i could not breathe all of a sudden



cut ---

it was all a show

and i was on stage unknowing of the reality

that lay in front of me

i was blinking back at the audience

who inadvertently gasped when

my wedding dress cut to shreds

till i was naked

and bleeding from that hole


cut ---

two months later

i am holding this wildflower

windswept and pretty

different


i turn to the east

squinting at the morning sun

i talk to God.

He asks, "My child, what do you know of promises?"

I say, "God, I only know that they can easily be broken by man."

"Daughter, what about my promise to you?"(Jeremiah 29: 11-13)

"You're different God, I only look to you and will live in your promise, in Your never-ending love. I look to the east, and you are smiling down on me. I find my back against the wall, and you are there to save me. I am distraught, and one touch, you comfort me. I cannot afford to walk away from you, God. Thank you for being my true rock."

Kariktan

oo. hinahangad kita.
sa halimuyak ng iyong nagbabagang hininga
sa kinis ng iyong mukha at matamis na pagngiti
hindi ikinukubli ang pusong nagdaramdam
at walang alintana sa pagsunod at pagkilos ng aking pag-alab sapagkat
natahan na rin ako sa pananayang ng mga luha
wala nang iniisip kundi ikaw sa gabi
di na nagiiba ang mga paniginip
ikaw lamang ang hinahangad na makamtan habang buhay
na pagtitiis at pag-alay ng nagsisiklab na damdamin na
sa iyo rin lang naman mapupunta
sa iyo na ito

aawitan kita, isasayaw kita, mamumukod-tangi ang ating istorya
sa mundo isisiwalat at isisigaw ang ating mumunting pag-iibigan
na siya lamang mamumulaklak sa pagdaan ng tag-ulan at tag-araw
sa ating pagtanda at paglaki, sa ating pag-uunawa at paglalambingan
kislap na sa iyong mga mata,
tunay na kasiyahan ang nadarama sa tuwing
napapatingin ako sa iyo
nasisilayan ko ang aking sariling
banayad at tahimik

at kung makakaharap natin ang kalungkutan
nais kong mapasa-iyo ang mensaheng
malalagpasan din natin ito
ang lahat ng nararamdaman
ay pansamantala lamang
nariyan ang Diyos
upang tayo'y gabayan (Genesis 24)

itinataas sa Kanya lahat.

At pag tayo'y matanda na,
lilingunin natin ang ating nakaraan
kung bakit nga pala ambilis ng panahon
wala man akong ipapalit sa mga okasyon at alaala sa ating mabibilis na buhay
kumpleto na ang lahat at pwede na tayong mamatay.


naaalala ko pa ang unang beses na ika'y nasilayan ko;
sa bayan...naglalakad sa takipsilim may hawak na Coke...

twenty cents

dear safeway cashier,

thank you for making my day more meaningful. what you do - asking each person if they would like to donate 20 cents towards breast cancer research - is inspiring and humbling. it made me jump out of my skin and appreciate the small things in life.

myu

pano pa kaya sa hatian ng last piece ng liempo

• let it past na lang..
• kasi ur excited to make babies with him in the future..LOL

There is no such thing as a life without any regrets.

languish

my lips
yearn to kiss you
ever so softly

just brush
cheek resting
no hesitance
just to love

whoever you are
