For sentimental reasons (lesson from the "sampaloc" tree)

| | |

For sentimental reason,

allow me to be definitive in saying that you painted my life

with so much inspiration when you spent some time

with me under that tamarind tree.

Mind it?

How could I essay to forget the words

you’d cautiously uttered?

That even a savage beast would be tamed by such lyric?

We’re both young then but I know our hearts

were sophisticated enough to comprehend the irony of it.

 

 

For sentimental reason,

please try to know ourselves better

MY HIDDEN LOVE

| | |

I need someone to call when I'm fellin' blue

I need someone to love who is like you 

I need someone now, yes it's true

I really need someone, no one but you

 

I want to see again the stars in your eyes

Only to forget my million cries

Let me hear again the beat of your heart

Though I know you love me not 

 

Stay with me, even as a friend

Stay with me, until the end

I pray to God who sits above

To let you feel my hidden love

"Lust's passion will be served;

it demands, it militates, it tyrannizes."

-Marquis De Sade

 

 

 

Di mo ba natatandaan

Mga sandali nating nagdaan

Kapag di ka natitikman

Buhay ko’y napaparam.

Ano bang katangian ang taglay mo

Halos lahat ay baliw sa’yo

Anong kasarapan ang dulot mo

Pag-ibig ba o pagkalito.

Kapag ako’y may ramdam na init

Ako ay iyong pinapalamig

Lahat ay aking nalilimutan

Sa tuwing ika’y natitikman.

" If some lives form a perfect circle, other take shape in ways we cannot predict or always understand. Loss has been part of my journey. But it has also shown me what is precious. So has love for which I can only be grateful."

My treasure two too many, My fulfillment my life

| | |

How am I become worthy of these treasures, O Lord,

This very person who's used to mind just herself, and

come home just to board

 

In those times when I travel,

Couldn't care less what's ahead

In moments that I marvel,

thinking where should be my stead

 

Lord's answer was simple,

He gave me two girls instead,

giving me no more reason to wimper, hence,

enjoy motherhood, like Mary who brought not a dent

 

Now the task must be fulfilled,

all to  be in the likeness of 'Jesus the King',

madlove

Loving poetry so poetry should love me back

Ang Matandang Kalabaw

| | |

Hindi sa bilang na 18 at 21 nasusukat ang kisig ng kalabaw.
Ni hindi rin pamantayan ng kaniyang husay ang 14
o higit pang mga taon ng pagsasanay. 
Magpakadunong man, lupa pa rin ang magiging kabiyak.
Pipiliting ampunin ang madamot na pagkakataon bilang 
panganay na anak.
 

Mangarap man na maging ibang nilalang na lang,
'di na matatalikdan pa ang naukit na kapalaran.
Sapagkat itinakda na ng panahon na maging alipin lamang.
Pasailalim sa kapangyarihan ng panginoon.

Exercising Your Brain!!

Nabasa ko ito sa isang libro ni Jessica Zafra habang kumakain ng karoke na may suka at walang ginagawa. Nabanggit ko na si Jessica Zafra sa mga naunang pages ng libro na sinusulat ko ngayon. Pero hindi ko sya naintroduce ng maayos. Ehem.. para sa mga mahal kong mambabasa, si Jessica Zafra  ay isang writer/author, TV Host, VJ, nakapagpublished at naging editor ng isang magazine, nakapag record ng audio book, nagappear na din sya sa isang movie at nakapag sulat ng ilang short stories na collection nya.

ito ang gawang di pa tapos..

Bawal. Salita at kataga na ating ginagamit para sabihin sa isang tao, bagay, o sitwasyon tungkol sa mga limitasyon nito. Limitasyon. Ito yung hangganan ng isang bagay o tao o yung rurok ng kanyang kapasidad. Ngayon, bakit ko ba nasabi tong mga salitang ito, kung tutuuisin ang mga salitang ito ay pare-parehas lang na nagsasabing "huwag mo gawin" o "tangapin ang limitasyon" o sa simpleng salita - BAWAL.
