Pinto

At kahit anong ulit hilingin,
Sa langit pinagdasal na ng taimtim.
Mukha mong kay ganda,
Sana isang umaga, makapiling ko na.

Sana hindi nalang pangarap ang makasama ka,
Kundi aaraw-arawin na.
Mata mong mapang-akit,
Mga haplos mong maaruga.

Malambot mong boses,
Narinig kong magpasalamat.
Nung binuksan ko ang pinto,
Isang masayang oras.

Pinadaan lang kita,
Mundo ko'y huminto,
Pano pa kaya kung mapasakin,
Ang busilak mong puso.

Crush'ed

Sound so silent it fills the room. 

An awful sign of the already bad devotion.

A mixture of disaster in a basket case.

Worn out feelings of what used to be blessed.

Six or Nine will depends on how you see,

Perception is the word, It is the key. 

I wish I had never drink the cup,

Now I know a lot of things which made me feel bad.

The more I discover colors,

The more I lose mine. 

When we get closer to somebody,

The more we see their frailty.

I got closer, I saw her thorns and scars.

I just wondered how she was so beautiful in the past.

Is it because I was so shy to look at her face?

Or was just afraid she'll caught me looking.

So my mind created an image of her.

Made it so perfect I created my own reality.

And made it so real I forgot myself,

But I woke up shortly afterwards. 

I would have wanted it forever.

Forgetting myself so you'll be mine. 

How Black is Black

With a color changing hue,
I tried to paint my grey life.

And in the effort of making it colorful,
I have painted it with a lot of colors,

It looks good at first,
Only to realize black is all the colors mixed,

And in the end I can't get it back.
My once peaceful, simple life,

Has now become a rack.

Demi Urgus

And I turned the lights off in my room,
In the darkness I turned the music to it's full volume.
I danced without any steps,
I never noticed the smile on my face.

A sudden rush of emotion I felt,
I smile as the tears run down my face.
If this darkness isn't enough then I'll close my eyes,
Hoping to see you on my mind, please give me more smiles.

The Irony

Roses are red, violets are blue.
Who painted the ceiling red,
When it should be all blue?

I came to experience the world,
But I ended up watching and terrified.
The beauty of it is undeniably tempting,
But there's just a lot to be disgusted off, an ill feeling.

In fact all of it can be solve by one simple solution,
That is called information.
Some might find it soon,
But others don't deserve anything at all.

And though how important we want to be heard,
Tried shouting but still suppressed.

We will eventually come to the point,
Where the truth we believe will be questioned,
Not by others but by our own selves.
We will then get confused,
Change our whole perception, Blow our fuse.

The negative irony in our life,
The destiny we are trying to avoid,
Are the things we made in our mind,
When we are at the peak of our weakness.
Is it really an answer we are seeking?,
Or just demise we are hoping?,

We are all hypocrites,
For when we don't want to believe is the time you ask for the other side of the story.

Royal Flush

And as I lay these last words for you,
Sweetened by the sugar phrases meant so true.
Despite the hunger to survive my endless demise,
I still found myself in the middle of scrutiny.

For what did I do to offend the Gods,
Seems my life has always been so rough.
But I am wise enough to lay in the best of my cards,
In times where I feel I have the upper hand.

If life is a poker,
Then I will be the joker.
I will not be included,
Not recognized, Nor paired.

There's just sometimes there's no value,
Like singing some songs in mono.
And should we try to find our complete stereo,
Someday I hope it will come true.

I never thought that was intentional,
We had misunderstandings but we didn't say it in actual.
There comes a time I want to say something to you,
But you blocked it like you didn't want to.

You're are so intelligent yet you're so naive with what I feel for you.
I never thought you couldn't understand what was just a fluke.
I want to run every afternoon at the track,
But that is where you are always at, your territory in fact.

And I don't want to ever see you again.
Nor remember the things we could have had,
Thought you were perfect but in simple things you get so mad.
And I am not in the mood to pamper an angry child.

If ever we will meet again,
I'll try to give you my best smile.
If I won't be able to do it then please understand,
Of all the people I thought would know,
You were the last one to show.

Roses are red, Violets are blue.
Don't speak, never fall inlove with miss Blue.
Ever again.

Silence is Violent

Upon hearing the words of silence,
You can't help but notice,
A drastic change in the sound on your ears.

As violent as a boiling water on a kettle,
So vehement we can't control.
It can't settle so aggressive,
My once love for you has become repulsive.

If this is the sound we want to hear,
Then I myself am not sure if I can bear.
The bare sound of silence itself is manic,
Just why is it so silent yet also erratic?

Have you tried waking up one afternoon?,
That time you found out nobody's at home,
The family is out somewhere,
You suddenly feel so alone.

Silence is not always the pure absence of sound,
But sometimes just the lack of the ones creating it.

I have listened to silence,
It's like a radio frequency ringing in my ears,
I realized the chance of having somebody shut up is much higher,
Than having them talk when they don't desire.

So upon hearing the silence,
Which is created by my heart's nothingness.
And amplified by this feeling of loneliness.
I then rest my case closed,
Silence is violent and I am sure.

Ang Babae sa Pantry

Di ko na mabilang ilang araw ang lumipas,
Mula nung una kitang makita sa aking landas.
Paharang harang na parang di alam kung san pupunta,
Nagbago lahat nong nakita ang iyong mga mata.

Napakaganda, parang painting ni Mona Lisa,
Kumiskislap na parang isang malaking tala.
Ako'y nanlamig, Di ko maigalaw ng tama,
Itong katawan kong araw araw ko sanang sinasanay.

Araw-araw akong nag abang,
Pabalik-balik sa lugar kung saan kita unang nakita.
At sa bawat pagdating ko sa lugar na yon ay may kaba,
"Andito kaya siya?"

Minsan ay nanjan, Kadalasan ika'y wala,
Pero okay lang sakin basta may chance na makita,
Kulay rosas mong mukha, maninipis mong labi,
At ang natatangi mong ngiti.

Yung mga ngiti na,
Parang maiinit na halik dumadampi saking pisngi.
Hindi man magiging tayo,
Atleast nakalapit ako sayo.

Hindi ko alam kung ako ang iyong tinitingnan,
O baka nakatingin ka lang sa bandang likuran,
Baka ma kasama ka lang,
Na siya mong tinititigan.

Bahala na kahit ganun,
Basta nakita ko ang yong mukha.
Ganun ka pala kaganda pag tumatawa,
Nakakahalina, parang pinagbabawal na droga.

At sa susunod ulit na pagkikita,
Sana bukas andito ka, o kung pwede please mamaya na.
Isang regalo ng may kapal na kung makilala ka,
Pano pa kaya kung mayakap pa kita.

Ulan sa Hapon

Heto nanaman ang ulan,
Ang plano kung pag-takbo nauwi sa kwentohan.
Buti nalang di nag inuman,
Mga kabarkada ko -nagsipag awitan.

At sa bawat kas kas ko sa aking gitara,
Sanay marinig mo ang bawat kanta,
Ng puso kong sayo ay tulala.

Wag na wag kang mag-alala,
O di kayay mabalisa,
Sa pagkat ang balikat ko'y sanay na,
Binuhat ko na ang mundo, ikaw pa kaya?.

Wag matakot at manalig,
Sayo lang ang aking pag-ibig.
At kung sakaling ika'y malasing sa gitna ng gabi,
Ako na mismo ang maghahatid sayo pauwi.

Masigurado ko lang na ikaw ay ligtas,
Walang kahit sino man sayo ang mangangahas.
Pagkat ako ang iyong knight in shining armor,
Di ako kumikinang ngunit ang kabayo ko ay de motor.

Handang ikaw ay ipagtangol,
Buong lakas ko'y iuukol.
Para sayo aking sinta,
Sabihin mo lang -handa kitang ikarga.

At kung darating ang panahon na hindi na sapat,
Mga simpleng bagay na sayo nagpapa kindat.
Pag ibig natin handa kong iangat,
Sa next level o simbahan natin gagawan ng pamagat.

Strangers

The jaws of attraction,
Defies the law of perfection.
Our eyes blinded by admiration,
Until we find ourselves in subordination.

Carefree yet delicate,
Her eyes happy and perfect.
Sends me a message in direct,
"Don't pick this flower, It's exquisite."

As for me I have to do something,
Yet the most extreme I can do is staring.
Enchanted by her beauty I can't stop myself smiling,
It started when on her face I was looking.

If only I can stop time,
Then I'll donate alot from mine.
If I need to then I'd waste it,
For you it will be worth it.

If only these words I made would reach you,
But we are just strangers in a world of hue.
A lot of difference, So untrue.

From my heart are these words that rhyme,
Are just but equivalent to a bottle of wine.

If there's a regret,
Then it would be the wild spirits unreleased.
If only I have the guts to ask your name,
But I'm afraid you'd only freak out in vain.

So I keep myself silent,
While in my brain recording this golden moment.
The next time I see you might be a different case,
I might gain confidence to smile when you gaze.

Makata

Di na kami gumagamit ng mga ballpen at tinta,
Gamit namin ay digital na, Kami ang bagong henerasyon ng makata.
Ngunit ang gawa nami'y nakaugnay parin sa nakaraan,
Bawat letra na sinusulat binubuo gamit ang kasaysayan.

Mga bagay na amin ng nakagawian,
Minsan nangaling mismo sa aming kaurian.
Na ang iba'y ginagawang kanta,
Ginagawang liriko ang bawat salita.

Kami ay nabigyan ng prebelihiyong makapag pahayag,
Gamit ang social media at mga blog.
Kami ay pinagpala,
Di na kami huhulihin ng mga banyaga.

May kahulugan bawat salita,
Minsan masaya, minsan hindi nakakatuwa.

Ang lahat ng ito ay utang namin sa mga bayani,
Naglakas ng loob para tayo ay mabigyan karapatang pumili.
At ang resulta ay ang binhi,
Umusbong at lalago, kapalit ng buhay nila ginamit na pambili.

Kami ay mga makabagong makata,
Gumagawa ng kwento, kanta, rap, at salaysay na tula.
Ngunit hindi malilimutan kung saan sila nagsimula,
At bubuksan ang isipan sa makabagong tema.

Ibubuhos ang emahinasyon sa bawat letra,
Naway magsilbing binhi para sa iba,
At ng sila'y makakabuo ng bagong ideya,
At masisilang ang mga makabagong makata.
