Right now positioned at the road’s end
Remisnicing our moments well-spent
We might be saying farewell today
But we’ll still see each other someday
I’m scared to see you walk away
The thought of losing you is foul play
Of all the people I’m leaving behind
My feelings for you have always been undefined.
For ages, I’ve been trying to hide
Setting my far-fetched feelings aside
It’s a constant struggle to set you free
Knowing that you won’t even miss me
Stuck and attached to the ghosts of the past
I can wake up from my wistful dreams at last!
Once I’ve imagined a happy ending with you.
And now here you are, bidding adieu.
No matter how long we’ve been together
In the end, you’re like my big brother
Protecting me from all the hurt I might feel
In my eyes, this is all gloomy and surreal
It’s hard, I don’t like saying goodbye.
I’m weak and I don’t want you to see me cry
Don’t hesitate, pry and just ask me why.
Because right now, I’m ready to kiss you goodbye.
I decided to write a poem for the Paulinian Prism.. because our Graduation is fast-approaching and my theme was all about goodbye. In the middle of writing this, someone unintentionally popped into my mind. Normally, I would initially think of someone special to me so that I can work on something and it will be dedicated to that person. At first, I wasn’t thinking of someone.. I just want the words and ideas to naturally come out. Then, I didn’t know what happen. Oh well, this better be good. :)
Mga biyaya ng Panginoon ay magaganda
Pinakamahalaga sa lahat ay ang kapaligiran
Ako’y may sasabihin bilang isang makata
Para sa hinaharap, dapat ito’y alagaan
Ang simoy ng hangin at mababangong bulaklak
Kung titignan, tayo’y siguradong magagalak
Ang matatayog na puno at luntiang halaman
Matuturing natin na likas na yaman
Dahil sa kalat at polusyon, ito’y nasisira
Ang mga daan ay napupuno ng basura
Ano na ang mangyayari sa kinabukasan?
Paano maayos ang ganitong kalagayan?
Dapat nating linisin ang kapaligiran
Para maligtas sa panganib ang Inang Bayan
Sa atin, nagsilbi siyang isang kaibigan
Na sinasabing mahirap tayong paalalahanan
Gumawa na tayo ng paraan, kaibigan!
Magkaisa upang isalba ang ating tahanan
Tayo’y magpakita ng disiplina at pagkakaisa
Bago mahuli ang lahat at ito’y tuluyang masira
Pinasulat kami ng tula tungkol sa kalikasan.. sa halip na pito hanggang sampung taludtod ang nilalaman, ginawa na lang lima kasi alam ng titser namin na mahihirapan kaming magsulat. Ito yung nagawa ko, alam kong hindi ganon kaganda at walang sukat.

In the past, at the present, in the future
During ups and downs, through thick and thin
You’re there as a friend that I’ll treasure
You get mad when someone says I’m mean
You’re the brightest star in my darkest night
Everytime I have problems, you’re there for me.
You always help me face the big fight
Even if it’s in the biggest sea.
To have you, I don’t wanna say I’m lucky.
Luck’s out of fortune, blessing came from above
You’re a gift from God and I’m blessed to have you.
What binds our true friendship is love.
Each passing year, our bond grows stronger.
The memories and moments, everything gathered.
Trials and fears, we conquer them together.
I promise, you will always be remembered.
This is the poem I wrote about friendship for our English class. I really had no one to take inspiration from. I just missed III-St. Luke because I remembered that one of my guy friends put a tune to my poem and turned it into a wonderful song. It was a poignant memory for me especially every time they sing it. Can you actually believe that some of my former classmates used some parts of it for our English seatwork? Our teacher asked us to read our poems infront of the class, I said to Abando (one of my former classmates) to sing it for me instead.
Anyway, I originally entitled this as “You’re My Star” but while reading it, I noticed that I used the word ‘always’ twice.. so there, I changed it without even hesitation. It’s been two years since I last wrote a poem.. and it felt good to play with words again.
Ika’y nagbigay buhay
At nagmahal ng tunay
Kami’y inalagaan
Nagsilbing kaibigan
Anonymous asked: Paano kung ayaw mo na paano ba ang mag isa
kung nasanay na aking mundo na umikot lang sayo?
Paano bang limutin ka kung puso’y hinahanap ka?
Turuan mo naman ako dahil di alam kung paano....
Hahahahaha!.
Limutin ang isang tulad ko, magiging maayos ang buhay mo.
Sana ika’y maging masaya at humanap ng iba.
Dahil ako’y walang oras para sayo.
Kaya masanay kang mabuhay mag-isa.
PS: Balagtasan ba ito?
