    ramblings

    This is a page I have been trying to organize, and with my recent trip to Manila seeing me retrieving works from ages ago, I think there will be a lot of movement in this part of my website.

    While I have always believed that poems are for personal consumption, I want to be able to keep a record of them online for easy retrieval.. little by little, even if the effort takes forever and a day again.

    I wish that I could hold your hand
    and tell you that everything will be alright.

    I wish that I could just take you to some place quiet and peaceful

    and take all your cares away.

    But I must be truthful because I owe you that much.
    My heart cannot bear to treat you with deceit

    for you will always be dear to my heart

    no matter what either one of us might do or say.

    Perhaps the pain is necessary to bring our worlds together again.
    While we might not find a common home in one heart,
    we might find ourselves the true friends we once were
    when love ruled between you and I.

    I had tried my hardest to hang on and not let go.
    But then, even my stubborn heart had its weaknesses and gave in.
    I would have wanted to stay and live our dream,
    but my heart had other plans and opted to say goodbye.

    Sa isang sulyap biglang naglaho
    kaibigang natutunan ng mahalin.
    Ang sabi mo'y lagi tayong magkasama,
    umaraw man o dumilim.

    Na hanggang sa paglipas ng panahon
    at tayo ay tumanda na,
    ika'y patuloy kong maaasahan,
    palagi kang kasama.

    Sa isipan man o sa aking tabi,
    akala ko'y doon ka mananatili.
    Gumagabay, nakikinig, humahalakhak...
    tunay nga'y sa iyo ay nawili.

    Ngunit malayo ka sa kinaroroonan,
    mundo mo'y iba sa mundo kong ginagalawan.
    Sa isang banda, pagkakalayo natin
    aking hindi kinagulatan.

    Puso'y di maiwasang manghinayang
    sa kaibigang pilit hinahanap-hanap.
    Hanggang ngayon umaasang kaibigan
    ay makakaalala
    at babalik sa dating paglingap.

    Ngunit mga dagat ay hindi matatawid ng pangarap,
    kaya't ang puso ay magkakasya sa pagdarasal
    na sana'y kaibigan ko'y maging maligaya
    at patuloy Niyang patnubayan,
    doon sa malayong kinaroroonan.
