Handprints on my glass

Ang kasikatan mo sa FB ay katulad ng pagiging milyonaryo mo sa paglalaro ng monopoly. Sa likhang ito ni Mark Zuckerberg at mga kasamahan, ang buhay ng mga tao ay tuluyang nadala sa mundo ng imahinasyon at kaipokrituhan. Halika at pumunta tayong saglit sa mundo na puno ng imahinasyon. Saglit lamang at huwag kang tumira nang matagal. Dito mo lamang mararanasan na magkaroon ng kaibigan na hindi mo naman kakilala.  Kapitbahay mong kapag iyong nakasalubong ay hindi mo man lang mabati, mangitian at makamusta. Pero kaibigan mo sa mundo ng kaipokrituhan. Dito mo makikita ang nagraramihan at nagsasarapang pagkain na handa ng kapitbahay mong naputulan ng kuryente kanina. Dito mo makikita ang post ng nagmamahalan na magkakamag-anak na nagmurahan at naghabulan ng kutsilyo kahapon dahil sa inutang na pera. Dito mo makikita si manang na madalas sa simbahan o kapilya pero kung makapagmura sa anak ay huwag na lang....naku pu!@*#'!a! Dito mo makikita si kapitan na kasama ng mga puli...

In this world of fear and wrath Repose is strange while shedding tears Sorrows reckoned from day to years And seems no light in tiring path. But with Your ever-constant love I can hope with full certainty And can wait so patiently For my right time, Oh Lord God. Amidst of darkness and strife I will still belong to You I vow to be forever true As long as I still have my life. And in my life -- I will finish my race For in my journey I should meet with my end The time when all strong men and kings bend I will meet You there to see Your face; --In the land of the chosen few will truly rest.

Send me crashing back to earth 08.13.16  9:57am Oh Dear Lord, if You see me spreading my wings And seems soaring so high, Hold me back, put me in my nest, But let me fly for a while Not so far and too high If You see me forgetting my roots And my wings seems so boastful And thinking that I'm wonderful Seems busy being fabulous And my spirit cannot recall anymore The people, the loved ones, the friends The time, the memories, the blends, And seems leaving my beliefs, Beyond gravity, beyond the atmosphere, Relying fully on myself, without fear, Kindly send me crashing back to earth, Before realizing that I'm running out of oxygen, From Your Love, from my faith.

Lose my footing and gliding, Lose my balance and slithering, Whimpering with unstoppable and uncontrollable weep, Tripping on the floor, colliding with a wall, Slip and slide for the grandest fall. Begging for love while tears unhide, Little by little I'm dying inside, Dreams shattered like trees shed their leaves in autumn Do I fear or love Death? Still thinking till my last breath. Destiny is Fate, Fate is Destiny, Life without Love is truly empty, Slip and slide into your mind down to your heart, Wishing to hold my hand, be by my side, Love me, keep me safe in this deadly ride.

The memories would soon dry up And the heartbeats would leave you too The brightest days would be capped by saddest truth and darkest hue. Sometimes crying is essential To do away from painful sorrow All those laughters are immaterial When your loved one will leave tomorrow. You remembered her tiny kick From her lovely mother’s soft tummy You remembered her cries when she’s sick You remembered her little kiss, a young lady. There will be always a prince In a tale, for a lovely princess She will be soon convinced To settle down, wear a wedding dress. A very sorrowful moment for a father With a huge prayer, sometimes asking why That you would love her more, better That will lead to a Daddy’s cry: “Secure her as she would stay forever Hug her while she's young , day by day, As you would only, simply stare to her When she’d fall into other arms one day.”

Ang Buhay Estudyante Ala-sais ng umaga, napakalakas ng ulan na sinasabayan ng malakas na ihip ng hangin, madilim pa ang paligid at sa palagay ko ay walang pag-asang lumiwanag o sumilay man lang ang Haring Araw.  Binuksan ko ang telebisyon sa tindahan upang makasagap ng balita tungkol sa lagay ng panahon. “Kuya, pagbilhan nga po ng colored paper na kulay asul at pula, saka plastic envelope” sambit ng batang lalake na sa tingin ko ay nasa ikatlo o ikalawang grado pa lamang.   Tsinito ang bata na nagmukhang basang-sisiw dahil sa malakas na hampas ng ulan sa kanyang payong. “O bakit sumugod ka pa sa ulan? at hindi ka man lang hinatid ng iyong magulang, mukhang ide-declare na naman na walang pasok ngayong araw” ang sabi kong naaawa sa bata. Ngumiti ang bata sabay sagot na “ Kuya, wala na po akong nanay at tatay, yung lola ko naman nakaalis na rin po kasi nagtitinda siya sa Tulay, okay lang naman po kasi malapit lang naman ako sa eskuwelahan”.  “Pero pabili pa rin po nu...

In this world of hates and lies My serenity is your lullaby Songbirds sing gleefully Lovebirds wing peacefully Dancing shoes are designed for you and me Our souls will dance till eternity While the lovely spirits fly through sweet melody Of your lullaby In your arms, in your very arms will lie my love and my desire While the moon and stars Are the burning light and fire Of this lovely night While the angels smile and play the solemnly lyre And the God is lovingly staring and watching For the two free souls at last mingling.
