As I Lie

As I lie on our lonely nest
Under the folding silver skies
Of the fiery night
I cry
And the brightest stars
Descended to sorrow and darkness
As I watch your face
Which from my memories
Fades away

When will time fade away
So your memories will stay?

The Promise to Wait

Soon, we will be far from each other
But my love for you will not be over
For to you, I made a promise
That until you say yes
I will stay here
Waiting

The Statue of Pepe

Sitting on his white, man-made throne
The noble hero faces the sun
Resting his industrious hands on the arms of the chair
Watching over all his fellows
Whom he gifted
With Love,
Peace,
And Liberty
And whom he loved after God

Putting his head up
His genius brightens
Like the darkest seconds of his blessed country
His undying heart blazes like the hottest fire
His love blows like the most tender wind
His ideals shout like the silent cries of his men
He stays inside the hearts and minds
Of his countrymen

Perhaps we are vain and vanity is vain
But vanity nevertheless!
This teaches us unconsciously that he
And his works are useful ironically
Blood and flesh he sacrificed
To save us from earthly hell
From the invaders, who trampled our sacred shores
And who greedily wanted to show their
silly superiority

Respect, they have none!

To be patriotic alone may not be enough
How can we thank him
Must linger as a challenge for us
His countrymen
Whom he gifted with Love,
Peace,
And Liberty

Maybe there is a dark future
Waiting for us
Like he, who faced the sun before
Foreign guns took his precious life,
Who hoped good for his Philippines

Since then,
The Filipino race had never produced
A man who can eclipse him
It is not our great challenge however,
It is to accomplish his hope
Which is for our sake and good

Valiantly sitting on his chair
Planted on a garden of flowers
And every morning,
Dr. Jose P. Rizal faces the sun
And the bright tomorrow of our dear Philippines

Waitings and Wishes

My love is waiting for you
And patiently I'll wait right here
like a plant waiting
for the the rain to fall
and the sun to shine
like the river rocks waiting
for the flood to flow
like the flower waiting
for the butterfly's kiss
like the wolf waiting
for the antelope to rest
like the evening waiting
for the morning to dim
like death waiting
for life to end

But above all, my love is still waiting
for the rain and sun
someday may fall and shine
for the flood
someday may flow
for the butterfly
will soon kiss the flower
for the antelope
will be tired and soon will rest
for the morning
will, in no time, become evening
for life will always meet death

Am I waiting without any reason?

They say,
"For those who love, time is eternity."
And I, who loves you, is waiting patiently
Does it mean I have to wait eternally?

Please don't tell me that it is wrong to want you
For to be with you is my my want and need
In order to feed my greed
So it will be no longer greed

I am patiently waiting
Yet still
I wish I am the one
Who is giving you happiness and satisfaction
And completes your life
I wish I am the one
Who is giving you love and consolation
And erases your sadness
I wish it is in my heart
Where you are resting

The night sky holds your star
And through your star
And with a kiss I wish
That if I could lawfully steal one thing
I would grab your heart
And make it
Mine

I will wait

Half-Angel, Half-Devil

I feel elated from the moment I saw you
Your face was amnesia, drenched me in deep oblivion
I watched you as the nightly sun seem
And relegate herself with the stars
Thinking when will you be mine
I never stopped chasing you until
You grew tired
And fell
But I was there to catch you
She appears after thirty nights of sleep
And there we were, one soul, sitting
While watching how the moon's light
Augment the beauty of the scenario
We grew more in love with each other
And sweeter than a honey
Or from any other sweet things in the world
My entire body, excited,
When you give me a wine's kiss
And that Dionysius wished
If he could have some
Gods' may envy me everytime
I take you to our secret conclave
But I still fail to win
Over our dispute of kiss
And maybe, that's why you untimely left me
I concealed myself from the naked truth
Or I would deny that I met you
And completed the puzzle inside me
With a sigh, I watched an empty
Clear sky
This is one of the night of her sleep
The light that once augment
The beauty of the place
Never do anything at all
What place will it augment
It is not the place where we used to sit
And stare at the moon as I held your hand
But it is both the literal place
And the place where
Only the two of us belong
It takes two for this place to exist

This is the time when I miss you
Yet I still don't want to call you
You give me all your love
But then just broke the vow
You knocked me so down
When I'm already under you
Girl, this is ironic
I don't understand you
But I know that I still love you
Maybe it is true
Your half-angel, half-devil
