Handprints on my glass

Ang pananampalataya ni Inay Noong ako ay musmos pa Namalas ko ang iyong pagluha Sa isang pagsamba Sa mura kong isip Di ko malirip Kung bakit nabasa ng luha ang iyong mga mata? Di ko naman nakita ang lungkot Sa pagmulat ng mata pagkatapos ng panalangin Mas nakita ko ang mga ngiti sa iyong mga labi Na animo'y naging kalakasan mo ang naturang pagluha Ako ay lubos na nagtaka Ano ang meron sa aking ina? Nang magbinata naman Ako ay iyong tinuruan Na magpanata sa Kaniya Ilapit ang lahat kong adhika Mula sa pag-aaral, sa mga problema Pinansiyal, maliliit na bagay Hanggang sa malaki Hanggang sa pag-aasawa sa Kaniya isangguni Ni isang hiling hindi ako nabigo Humanga sa itinuro mong paraan Sa pananalig at tamang pamumuhay Hanga ako sa iyo Inay! Nang mag-asawa ay lalo kong nakita Ang alab sa iyong puso at ang sigla Sa paglilingkod sa Ama lalong umigting Sa naging rebelde kong isip ako ay napaiiling Nanghawak kasi ako sa sariling talino At lawak ng kaalaman N...

Shed light on the mystery (7.06.18) As hundreds of tiny spiders dangling From short silk threads floated in the sky Impossible aerial antics as we marveled But only God knows how and why. Three hundred billion stars in our galaxy One hundred billion galaxies in the observable Universe But no stellar collision in space as we astound by God’s creation, shook the heads of the observers. The mighty and potent hand of the ant A tiny creepy-crawly in this vast and immense land Can carry load five thousand times of its body weight Amazed by this stance, do you see the God’s hand? A man formed from the dust of the earth But why is there gold in the human body? And have around seven octillion atoms Baffled by God’s wit, it’s a pure mystery. Million troubles, for you are a man of tribulations Wounded soul, under par spirit and decaying body Still embraced and rose by unceasing love of the Maker Faith and the power of God shed light on the mystery.

Green is the color of her skin And as dreadful as evil is her grin With foul and obnoxious tongue Unbearable words of lingo and slang Oh how could she sleep at night? For she’s a nightmare at her own fright And an awful view in the moonlight She thought she worked hard overnight And believed she has all the magic and might She has an eye as powerful as a telescope She use it to encroach like a cockroach She has a pack of forty great wolves And forty crows and a swarm of black bees And a group of Winkie slaves like monkeys She will give you apple and carrot to fall asleep Then slash you to death, whip you till you weep She did not carry a broom but rather an umbrella Don’t know why, perhaps she'll use it for her pralala She wants to steal your silver shoes Shoes of happiness for her to use For she don’t have a family, so afraid to dark She’s like a coward dog who loves to bark Afraid to water for it will purify her soul We’re just waiting for her grandest fall...

          Nobody knows you when you're down and out As people love the winner and mock the loser They will take your failure into a lenghty spout While your face will be stained by dust and mud And your darkest road will still be covered by fog Over your head is a lonely and heavy piece of cloud And seems a super storm will test your might.               But let it rain              Let the rain wash your face                from mud and all the stain              Let It rain              And let its wind            to air condition your brain          Let the raindrops flow              on your souls              To cleanse your heart  ...

Fly Smoke They went behind the garage for a fly smoke From end to end The weightless fog enfolded the exquisite air They were too high on the happy side It was either crime, the basketball, music or love They chose love over all A spoon for their hungry souls. And above them is this quiet man Staring at them like a sightless one in a canopy Anguished as he recalled his younger days A lad, wild and free, he was too high then on the happy side It was either crime, the basketball, music or love He chose love over all But look what happened to his soul: ------------------------------- His heart beats speed up Like adrenaline flows And mixed with his blood The smoke fades away As fog at a snail’s pace disappeared A devil’s face grinned at him Like a thousand lights in a night beam. He saw the young gal in the street Alone, a helpless fresh meat He chose love over all Love she never asked or wished for She yelled for help, she cried and cried He saw her face li...

You showed me charming scenery of magic peaks and dazzling sunshine above the clear and blue waves Below your comfort lying the golden and fertile field With double rainbow in the sky when you were born Aside from the golden spoon in your big mouth Indeed, you are a legend, a god to your tribe. You can cure illness and you can spread it too You can cap the mountain white and the sky blue You can control weather, you make the cloud falls, the wind stops and the sun gleams as well But at the end of the day the darkness thrives And you will realize that you’re just an idol and not a God. You are human with limits on time and power You will never stay on top forever Believe me it is just fantasy living here Pretending to be brave amid growing fears For there is another side of life waiting for us-- A different stage, just platform somewhere over there.

In the beginning when He said, "Let there be light," On Earth, on this planet Out of the sheer darkness The sun rose over the mountain, The moon shone over the harbor And the stars twinkled in our eyes. In the middle of the night When hope lying soundly dead When knees bended and tears shed Where the eyes that could only see Are from the pillows on my bed, Seems unanswered prayer In a cold and bleak weather. And out of this dangerous world Where the matter met the time and space There is my God who is unlimited The answer is here On His own spell and pace With His infinite power and mercy On His timing will pour unto me. My God has no limits And exceedingly great Above matter, time and space My Limitless God who's power is boundless Unmeasurable by any measurements His timing is like an accurate scale in complicated math And a perfect steer in perilous path.
