PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

buh-bye na

wala na
talagang pag-asa
wala ng ibabaling
pa

kahit itong
pagtingin
ay 'sang uri
rin lang ng
aking salamin

ang taglay mong

kagandahan
ay ipasasantabi ko
na

ang taglay mo ring
angking kariktan
ay nawawalan
nitong nilalaman

para sa akin
ito'y nabalewala
sa aking umaga.

kaya't buh-bye na.

sa tuwing sasapit ang umaga

tinawag niyang pimple
ang bundok,
tinawag pang parisukat
ang tatsulok

kung minsan ako'y nagtatanong din
sa pagbabasa
ng bibliya
sa ating pormal na wika—
kung ito'y karapat-dapat ba?

sabi naman ng iba,

naaayon daw
ang mga ginagamit na

uri ng pananalita

sa lipunang

kinabibilangan nila.

ako ngayon ay tila
hindi na maka-laban,

dahil sa nakagawian na.

Love Or Loathe me

My poetry is all me, all mine, 

and..... 

A bit like the people, 

I've met, 

during my lifetime.

Some, 

are even like, 

the poems, that I have written.

Some, I've loved.

Some, I've felt indifferent about , 

though most I've liked.

Some 

I've never really understood, 

nor them me.

I won't even mention, 

the silly, 

or stupid ones.

I never forced any, 

to read them.

Or 

be my friend....

My Love Has Faded

I saw the mighty sequoia....

When they were merely,

Red Woods.

Flew over oceans,..... alone.

Sought love,... and stability.

Surfed.... a street car in frisco.

I saw...... California dreaming ,

when I was eight  !

Travelled the world, and....

Followed the sun.

Met dreams.... I'd wished for .

All my adult life.

And now they're gone.

To grey ... And obscurity .

Did you know..

that you steal the show?

That your silk shines

like wet red wine,

when our time has intwined

and i bask in your glow?

A candle to you?

Holds not a chance....

But perhaps to save me a dance..

When somethings arent found

we all look around

buts its you that has stolen my glance.

I don’t really want to say something cheesy

like you gave me your heart

but that’s sometimes what it feels like to me

so I will package it up

in little glass houses

and carry them across rivers for you

so I will make it a sanctuary                 and also a mountain

so I will cry over it sometimes (a lot)

                      and other times make it my own chicken soup

I will find us in the footsteps               that have walked on it

the calluses                                     that have stepped on it

the moments                               that have handprints on it

I will swing it on my shoulder through the jungles and deliver it safely home

so I will mix it up with all my belongings

and sometimes forget which suitcase I left it in

but don’t worry

it calls out to me

in the sweetest songs                          in the softest corners

in the furthest countries                          in the latest hours

in the strangest moments                     in the loudest voices

I will find it

I will pick it up with the same hands

as that first day

You understand the way I am now 

And I know you from inside out

I'll be the one that you embrace

And take the pain you cannot face

And everything will be okay

because I am with you each day

Sometimes I don’t think I can make it on my own

But then I think of you and all those thoughts are gone

You give me the strength to carry on

And on, and on, and

Whoa oh

You got me feeling like

I'm high and I'm never coming down

Whoa oh

You got me feeling right

For the first time I'm not upside down

Whoa oh whoa oh

(Chorus)

So now my heart is overfilled

With all the joy that you have spilled

I'll catch you if you fall from grace

And all your pain I will erase

and when I wake up next to you

I know all my dreams have come true

Sometimes I don't think I can make it on my own

But then I think of you and all those thoughts are gone

You give me the strength to carry on

And on, and on, and

-(Chorus)

I could write forever but words will never replace how I feel inside

And when we're together time seems to get lost in space

You fill me with pride

-chorus- (2x)

I've got an appetite for your flesh

I just want to see you undress

And then I'll take care of the rest

My heart is pounding out of my chest

I'll give you my absolute best

Your softness I must caress

-I want to love you like I'm dying tonight 

I love the way you feel when I am inside

I want to make you scream out my name all night

I just need to love you like it's my last night

Tonight- (chorus)

I'll take you out to the countryside 

We'll get drunk on the finest wines

And we'll have the time of our lives

Hypnotize me with those pretty eyes

Let me taste you, you look so divine

So open wide girl, I'll blow your mind

I want to love you like I'm dying tonight 

I love the way you feel when I come inside

I want to hear you call out my name all night

I just need to love you like it's my last night

Tonight

Tonight let's feel alive

I want to love you like I'm dying tonight 

I love the way you feel when I come inside

I want to hear you call out my name all night

I just need to love you like it's my last night, tonight

Tribute to Dad

You took the voyage of life,
however cursed by fate.
None to help you,
none to shoulder your pain.
You had strengthened
the family as fist.

Your adversities tested you
 throughout our budding years.
The word rest didn’t show off
till heavenly gates flung open.

At our hard times,
your aroma of strength,
At our joy,
your aroma of cheers,
lingered all around.

A better tomorrow
was always been your choice,
By and large sun shines
as your footprints.

None can keep us stand apart
when nightmares and thunders
make an evil eye.
Your beloved family
needs the warmth,
bygone days you showered on us.

It is been paradox we miss you,
our own prejudice mounts us to believe
still five fingers makes a strong fist.
