Last Summer Break

31 May 2007 / San Jose Occidental Mindoro

Here it comes again

The feeling starts to sink in

I’m about to leave

And my summer break ends this eve

 

My last sun as a teen

Was spent and now has been

The next days will be crucial

For it bids my college life final

 

I’ll miss my family

And my friends whom I played with

The way I laugh with my parents

And hours spent to nothingness with my friends

 

These days had been great

But still, I can’t accept the fact

That this time next year

It’s an employer whom I will seek

 

Yes, this is my last summer break

Last days of my foolishness

The last days of my stupidity

The start of a serious career

Their Story

31 May 2007 / San Jose Occidental  Mindoro

A couple I used to know

My parents who made me grow

The people whom I am thankful for

Has a story once told before

 

They say they don’t love each other

For them, to think is just to bother

For God, with time brought them together

To build a family that would last forever

 

Funny how things go and went

Amazing how they laugh and at times, weep

But a whish’s kept inside me

To have my own story to treasure thee

Plans

28 May 2007 / San Jose Occidental Mindoro

Tomorrow is yet to come

Circumstances cannot be foreseen

Yet I know I have to do some

For me to see a beautiful scene

 

There’s a lot I have in mind

Several things I need to do

I just hope I won’t get blind

Of things I have to undo

 

Uncertainties cannot be predicted

But estimates an lessen uncertainty

What will happen tomorrow is unknown

But we are all aware of one’s own

‘took me here and left

‘held me up and let me down

cared for and later hurt me

drove to far to keep me isolated

took me from home

brought me to the cliff

she broke me!

Never Were

22 May 2007 / San Jose Occidental Mindoro

I made myself believe

That you and I were meant to be

That what we’ve been through is part of our story

That this is what God has planned for me

 

‘Made some decisions

Just to give us the motion

No space for regrets

I just have to forget

 

I don’t want to hurt

As well as be hurt

Can’t I just be happy…

With the one I wanted to be with?

 

I guess I am yet to see her

Or is it just her who failed to notice?

…a ridiculous thing to realize

That these things are still on my mind

 

Is she really a good player?

Am I a game that needs her?

What I need is a prayer

And an immediate answer!

Constellation

21 May 2007 / San Jose Occidental Mindoro

You see that star?

The one that’s too far

The one who’s white as the dove

And part of the sky above

 

You see its neighbors?

The one who flickers with glamour

Who outshines the one I’m telling you

That also has a space of the sky indigo

 

You see those on the far end?

Those that easily blends

Whose elegance seems to have no end

That stretches to the sky that on the horizon bends

 

Some outshines

Some will make you shine

But one thing remains constant

That they belong to the same big sky

Loosening

16 May 2007 / San Jose Occidental Mindoro

Felt tired lately

It was such a trip

Wanting some comfort

Just needed to unload

 

Which one should I let go…

What are for me to keep?

Will it help me in my path…

Or prolong the agony I have?

 

Still have a lot to travel

Don’t have much time

There’s a decision to make…

Can I ask for one more time?

 

I’ve chosen to let go of her

But still, I am in a wonder

Is it because I want to travel light…

Or just for me to free myself for my past?

Done

Can I?...

May I?...

Could you please…?

Allow me to finish?

 

A second passes

A minute’s over

The sun sets in

And the moon took over

 

Yesterday’s gone

Tomorrow would be tomorrow’s yesterday

Your first birthday was tears past

And your last would just be days away

 

Seize the day!

Says they…

How can I?

When it has passed!

Destiny

12 May 2007 / San Jose Occidental Mindoro

I was told to be aware

Of things love can bear

Of the things one should bear

Of all which I have to look over

 

But I guess I never listened

Nor did I bother to care

All I did was to ponder

On myself as a lover

 

But I still feel torned

Is this how I feels to be adored…

Or just the way for someone who adores?

But I’m afraid I’m already bored

 

Tomorrow is so unsure

As the way things turn out

It’s definitely out of our hands

But what human can do still bounds

 

We an choose to welcome tomorrow

Or embrace yesterday with sorrow

It’s out of our hands

But definitely of nobody’s commands

The Man I Wanted to be

09 May 2007 / San Jose Occidental Mindoro

This is me

But I hate me

I know how things ought to be done

Yet I tend to do things the other way

 

A way they don’t expect a man to do

Hence, my character is often doubted

But they are not the only one

Even I, myself has doubts

 

I don’t want to be this way

I want to be the man expected of me

But it is difficult to maintain consistency

From the man I am and the man I wanted to be

The more I learn about life, the more I get bothered by it…

5 May 2007 / San Jose Occidental Mindoro

I wish you were the wind

I could tell you my worries

And you could carry it away

I could complain about you

And just be ignored

You’ll comfort me with your warm breeze

And just fly me away from here…

Bothered

3 May 2007 / San Jose Occidental Mindoro

Her smile lingers

Oh, I love her smell

The voice of an angel

These and more keeps I entangled

 

I left

Thought I made a life

I came back

Yet the feeling remains

 

Still clueless of what to do

I remain safe in my room

Unloaded my luggage

And lived like a new born

 

Gave up what I had

Those I’ve earned when I left

But still in a wonder

Is she worth everything I have or am I just under paranoia?
