Unlearn

From ubi-orbi.com
Music playing the background
People chattering about
All these noises around me
Yet only your voice resounds

Beatiful shapes and colors
Scenic, majestic, grand
But all I see is gray
When you're not by my side

If you love me

From http://walluck.com
Don't play with my fragile heart
It has been through too much
Don't play with my heart, I plead
Lest it be my last hurrah

Don't tell me you love me if you don't
Don't tell me you'll be there if you won't
Don't promise me the world if you can't
Don't tell me forever if you shan't

You say you love me
But your actions say another
Tell me, what am I supposed to believe?
Tell me, what am I supposed to perceive?

A man can dream

From http://inspyrz.com/
A man can dream of fortune
Of wealth and riches abound
To have too much of everything
And a lack of not even one

A man can dream of fame
To be among the stars
To be a someone whose name
is known by one and all

Poetry from Friendster Shoutout

From http://www.carldavidweb.com/
This was written during Friendster days.

Due to the limited number of characters that I can use for the shout out (given that it's a shout out), I only came up with these. I was supposed to make it longer, but I guess it'll have to do.


============================================

I want a girl who can bring me to my knees,
bend me to her will,
make me lose my mind,
and shatter all my dreams;

She can dissolve my resolve,
even destroy me if she wants;
but she won't;

Cause she knows I love her,
the way she loves me,
or maybe, even more.

============================================

Questions

From http://alisonimiller.com/
How can I make you notice
The feelings I keep for you?
How will I catch your attention?
How will I pursue, how will I swoon?

How will I make you understand
That what I offer is true?
How will I make you realize
My world is nothing without you?

How will I break beyond the barriers
You put up for you defense?
How will I conquer your heart
With the love I meant to share?

Panaghoy

hanggang kailan kayang magtiis?
hanggang kailan kayang magtimpi?
hanggang kailan kaya ng damdamin
pigilan ang nararamdamang pighati?

hanggang kailan mangungulila?
hanggang kailan mangangamba?
wala na nga bang pag-asang
matagpuan ang katahimikang hangad?

Let me mourn tonight

Today, I mourn for my loss.
A love that hasn't been.
The love I haven't said out loud.
The love that will never be.

After all that has happened....

How do you know it's over?

That it has to end?

When do you realize that the love has gone, and that you already have to let go and move on?

Lihim

Matagal na tayong magkakilala,
Ilang taon na nga ba, hindi ko na bilang.
Kahit noon pa man, alam ko na,
Matagal na kitang minamahal.

Dilim

Image from Pinterest
Unti unti nang naghahari ang kadiliman sa kalangitan, hudyat ng muli nating pagtatagpo.

Isang diyosang tanging sa aking mga panaginip ko lamang nakakapiling.

Sa bawat pagtulog, inaasam kong huwag nang matapos ang gabi, sapagkat kasabay ng pagsikat ng unang patak ng liwanag ay ang iyong pagbabalik sa kawalan.
