wala lang

"Minsan hindi mo na alam kung kaya mo pa ba
o dapat ka pa bang magmahal.

Kapag wala nang sense na makita sa isang relasyon,
dun mo na maiisip na siguro,

nagkita lang kayo sa

hindi tamang panahon

at

pagkakataon
."

Untitled





i wonder how it feels to spend an entire lifetime with you

doing the things that pretty much sum up a normal existence:

coffee mornings,

lazy afternoons,

walks in the park,

wanderings in the stark dark night.




i wonder how it is like

to wake up every single day of my life

with your arms wrapped tightly in my naked body

or, how magical it will be

to just lay on the earth’s barren patch with you beside me

and gaze at the infinite heavens

while I hold your trembling hands

and kiss your lips.




i wonder what kind of bliss it would bring me

if i get to spend my whole life with you

chasing rainbows,

weaving dreams,

making love.




i would've been the happiest person alive if these things had come true,

and if only i was that guy who just walked down the aisle with you.

Waiting on the world to change

Note: With all the chaos that have been plaguing the world, I reckon that this song pretty much sums up the general sentiment and collective wish that peace-loving people have. Enjoy. :-)



Waiting on the world to change
John Mayer



me and all my friends
we're all misunderstood
they say we stand for nothing and
there's no way we ever could
now we see everything that's going wrong
with the world and those who lead it
we just feel like we don't have the means
to rise above and beat it


so we keep waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change




it's hard to beat the system
when we're standing at a distance
so we keep waiting
waiting on the world to change
now if we had the power
to bring our neighbors home from war
they would have never missed a Christmas
no more ribbons on their door
and when you trust your television
what you get is what you got
cause when they own the information, oh
they can bend it all they want


that's why we're waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change



it's not that we don't care,
we just know that the fight ain't fair
so we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change


and we're still waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting waiting on the world to change
one day our generation
is gonna rule the population
so we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

Alipato

Note: Inspired ito ng kwento ni kasamang Marky, isang kaopisina at kaibigang kaisa ko sa larangan ng panulaan.




sa tuwing anag-ag na lamang ang nalalabi sa pinagsamahang sandali

sa tuwing mga lukot na kumot at pawisang katawan na lamang ang tanging namamasdan

sa tuwing mga mata na lamang ang nangungusap at ang luwalhati’y ‘di na nalalasap

sasabihin ko sa ‘yong sa ‘yo lamang ang pag-ibig ko.



sa tuwing ang gabi’y nahapo na at nagpaubaya sa panibagong umaga

sa tuwing napagod na ang langit sa kanyang pagluha

sa tuwing ang katawa’y kinukumutan ng lamig ng tag-ulan

ipadarama ko sa ‘yo ang init ng pag-ibig ko.



‘pagka’t madalas sa ating buhay

dumaratal ang pagkapagod sa maraming mga bagay

kung paanong natatapos sa pagtula ang hangal na makata

o kung paanong nahahapo ang matandang payaso.



dahil ang buhay ay gaya ng siklo ng apoy papunta sa pagiging alipato:


gaano man kaningas ang apoy,

sa malao’t madali’y humuhupa rin ito

kapag humiwalay na ang mga alipato sa siga upang maglakbay sa kalawakang matamlay,

doon na natin maiisip

maganda pala ang lalim at lawak at hawas ng langit.




at kung magkagayon, mahal ko,

muli’t muli ko ngang ipararanas sa iyo

ang rubdob ng pag-ibig ko.

Panaghoy at pagbulong sa Bagong Taon

Note: I was supposed to post this as a new year's day gift to myself and to my readers, but for certain reasons, I was too lazy to do so. But as they say, it's always better to be late than cute. Oh well, just enjoy this post, will you? :-)




kagabi,


habang pinupunit ang langit ng mayayabang na paybstar at palalong mga kwitis,

minsan ko pang binuhay
ang mga ala-alang malaon nang namatay
kasabay nang ginawa mong pagtalikod sa mga pangakong
minsang sa aki'y nagbigay-lugod.


kasabay nang pagputok ng mga rebentador
at ng pagkakak ng mga torotot,
muli pang nanariwa ang bawat nahimlay at nawalay na mga gunita,
ng batang pag-ibig,
ng mga pusong minsang pinigilan sa pagpintig.




at minsan pa,
ang pagkatao ko'y muling nilamon ng libong pangamba


'pagkat Bagong Taon na,
at ikaw'y wala pa.

Poetica Erotica



"...to all the girls I loved before, who traveled in and out my door...."
--Julio Iglesias




you never fail to light my fire
and awaken my deepest, most primal desires
you're the spice of my life,
you're my own brand of heroine
you're my dark chocolate,
my addictive nicotine




the very sight of your naked body
sends shivers down my spine
makes me forget the world exists,
makes me wish I could stop the time




come here, my naughty love
let's both get lost in this orgasmic drug
we'll fly into
the endless skies,
and swim in never ending dreams



come on, baby, light my fire
make come true my wildest, deepest desires
plunge with me into the world of make-believe
and get lost in the dark holes of sheer ecstasy


come on, my mistress
come on and light thy fire.

Hapee Beerday, self!


It's my 27th birthday today.

As Alanis Morisette said in one of her songs, 'I'm broke but I'm happy.'

Yeah. I maybe broke, but I have to say I'm happy being still alive. I'm happy for being in a team with nice people. [I love you, CHEESSAW guys!]

This is the first birthday that won't see any celebration, at least of the kind where you get to slice your own cake and [try not to] eat it, too. But hey, common sense tells me it's not less happier. And yes, common sense dictates I should be even happier with all the blessings God continues to shower me in spite of all my mistakes and sins. The gift of life alone is more than enough to celebrate.

Other reasons why I should be in a celebratory mood:

I have to be forever grateful for this gift I have, this facility with the written word.

I have to be grateful for the three wonderful angels I have: Ashley Judd, 7, Kobe Akira, 6, and Nathan Wolfgang, 4. I may not have the best kick-ass motorbike in the world, but I have these kids to accompany me wherever my life journey leads me to.

I have people who sincerely love me, and whom I try to sincerely love back.

I have friends, although not a multitude, but still enough to keep some sanity in me.

I'm inside the true Church.

And yes, I'm still breathing

still writing

still rocking

still loving.



What else could I ask for? :-)

Happy birthday to me!

I definitely am feeling this song right now. Hell yeah, the first thing I'd do when I get home tonight is play the video of this song!



Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now by Starship


Looking in your eyes I see a paradise
This world that I've found
Is too good to be true
Standing here beside you
Want so much to give you
This love in my heart that I'm feeling for you


Let 'em say were crazy, I don't care about that
Put your hand in my hand baby
Don't ever look back
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart

Chorus:
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
Well still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now


I'm so glad I found you
I'm not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes I will stay here with you
Take it to the good times
See it through the bad times
Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do
Let 'em say were crazy, what do they know
Put your arms around me baby
Don't ever let go
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart

And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
Well still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us

(Bridge)
Ooh, all that I need is you
All that I ever need
And all that I want to do
Is hold you forever, ever and ever, ..........hey

And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
Well still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us, whoa
Nothing's gonna stop us now, oh no

Hey baby, I know, hey baby, nothing's gonna stop us
Hey baby, woo, nothing, hey baby
Nothing's gonna stop us now yeah
