love

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves."

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Valentine (by Carol Ann Duffy)

Not a red rose or a satin heart.

I give you an onion.
It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
It promises light
like the careful undressing of love.

Here.
It will blind you with tears
like a lover.
It will make your reflection
a wobbling photo of grief.

I am trying to be truthful.

Not a cute card or kissogram.

I give you an onion.
Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,
possessive and faithful
as we are,
for as long as we are.

Take it.
Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding ring,
if you like.
Lethal.
Its scent will cling to your fingers,
cling to your knife.

Name (by Carol Ann Duffy)

When did your name
change from a proper noun
to a charm?

Its three vowels
like jewels
on the thread of my breath.

Its consonants
brushing my mouth
like a kiss.

I love your name.
I say it again and again
in this summer rain.

I see it,
discreet in the alphabet,
like a wish.

I pray it
into the night
till its letters are light.

I hear your name
rhyming, rhyming,
rhyming with everything.

Kaya Kong Magbitiw ng Bitter Words Ngayong Gabi (ni Mark Angeles)

Kaya kong magbitiw ng bitter words ngayong gabi.
Mag-scribble-skribulan halimbawa: “Ang gabi ay pilantod
at nangangalantutay, bugbog-sarado, ang mga bituin sa malayo.
Paruo’t parito ang hangin at ngumangawang parang baka.”

Kaya kong magbitiw ng bitter words ngayong gabi.

Labs ko sya, at minsan daw labs nya rin ako.
Sa mga gabing tulad nito, nilalamas ko sya sa aking kandungan.
Nilalaplap ko sya sa silong ng marvelous na kalangitan.
Labs nya ko, at minsan labs ko rin sya.
Pa’nong di ko mamahalin ang malalaki’t bilugan nyang mga mata —parang pugita?

Kaya kong magbitiw ng bitter words ngayong gabi.

Imagine kong wala sya sakin. Ma-feel kong na-lost ko na sya
Mapakinggan ko ang gabing OA, mas lalong OA dahil wala sya.
At ang talinhaga ay dumidila sa malay tulad ng hamog sa talahib.
Ano pa bang meron dyan, Ineng, kung hindi sya mapapasaakin?
Period. Sa malayo, may ngumangawa. Sa malayo.

Aburido ang multo ko sa pagkawala nya.
At para bagang nandyan lang sya sa tabi-tabi, hinahanap ko pa sya.
Hinahanap sya ng puso ko, kapag wala sya sa tabi ko.
Ang gabi ring ito’y nagkukulapol ng dirty white sa mga troso.
Hindi na kami ang dating kaming kami.

Hindi ko na sya labs, pramis, pero labs na labs ko sya dati.
Hinahagilap ng hininga ko ang hangin para bugahan sya.
Nilalaplap na sya ng iba, tulad ng paglaplap ko sa kanya.
Ang boses nya, ang seksi nyang wankata, ang for layp nyang mga mata.

Hindi ko na sya labs, pramis, pero medyo labidabs ko pa rin sya.
Maigsi lang ang lablayp ko pero ang makalimot
sangkatutak na 50 golden years ang inaabot.

Dahil sa mga gabing ganito nilalamas ko sya sa aking kandungan.
Aburido ang multo ko sa pagkawala nya.
Kahit ito na ang last chance ko para magmaasim at ito na rin ang huling chuminess ko sa kanya.

paghihintay.

unti unting kinakain
ng bawat sandaling lumilipas
ang pusong umiibig.

naghihintay malilo, maangkin
o maiwang duguan muli.

"Before you find faults, be sure you are dealing with facts, not figments of the imagination.."

in tagalog,

"Masamang manlait, pero kung totoo, ayos lang."

hehehe

Quote for the Day

"You shouldn't be stupid enough to fall in love with someone who is stupid enough not to fall in love with you."

Just Because

1. Just because you're not in a relationship doesn't mean you're exempted from heartaches.

2. Just because you experience pain doesn't mean you're doing it wrong.

3. Just because you see it doesn't mean its yours.

Quote for the Day

"Words without actions are empty.

Actions without words are confusing."

Change

SAD. people change because of someone who went through their lives, causing them hurt.
SADder. the next person who comes along suffer because of that change.
SADdest. there's nothing he can do to change what has happened, and it's pointless to live on if only's.

Change The World

(this song is for you..)

If I could reach the stars I'd pull one down for you
Shine it on my heart so you could see the truth
That this love I have inside is everything it seems
But for now I find it's only in my dreams

That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world

If I could be king even for a day
I'd take you as my queen I'd have it no other way
And our love will rule in this kingdom we have made
Till then I'd be a fool wishin' for the day

That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world
Baby if I could change the world

peklat

akala ko kapag nagkapeklat na, ibig sabihin gumaling na ang sugat mo. hindi ko naisip na ibig din nitong sabihin na ang pagtakbo nating ito ay hindi katulad ng paghahabulan ninyo noon.
hindi naman kita hahayaang madapa. babagalan ko ang pagtakbo para makasabay sa'yo, hindi ako magmamadali, basta't kasama kita sa finish line.
