Sa puso ko’y tanging pangalan mo ang nakaukit
Sa isip ko ang pangarap sana ika’y makapiling,
Hindi man matupad lahat ng aking minimithi
Wagas na pag-ibig mo nawa’y ialay nang buong giliw.
Sa Dios tuwina ang dalangin ika’y pagpalain
At sino man ang dumating nawa ako’y ‘di limutin,
Ano man ang sapitin ng buhay mo sa lakbayin
Pag-ibig ko sa’yo giliw asahan mong hindi magmamaliw.
Pasasalamat sa Maykapal ang sambit ng aking labi
Nang ako ay matutunan mong mahalin at kalingain,
Saya sa puso ay lubos ko ngang nadama
Sana ito ay manatili at ‘di na magwakas pa.
Tayo ngayo’y naglalakbay sa iisang landas
At sabay na namamangka sa agos ng buhay,
Ang isip mo at isip ko ngayo’y may isang layon
Nawa tayo’y maging isa sa tamang panahon.
This was written on February, 1999 as my Valentines gift to my first boyfriend.
Hello Mr. TD
It’s a gloomy night when I started to write
This simple poem that states my delight,
I hope you understand, but don’t worry
’cause now I learn to stand
And fight for the feelings I have deep inside.
Hello Mr. TD, how are you today?
Are you fine and happy or feeling so lonely?
I don’t know what’s in the nest
But in God’s caress I know you’re in rest.
Hello Mr. TD, you know you’re so cute,
Your stand and look makes everybody mute,
But my heart was caught not by the things you
thought,
Well, it’s a deeper you that makes this
feelings go strong.
Hello Mr. TD, thanks for your attention,
For the things you’ve done without
reservation,
Yes we didn’t spent much time together
But your memories will stay forever.
Hello Mr. TD, I will not forget bus no. 2,
The basketball game and country songs too,
All these things remind me of you
Even though they’re meaningless to you.
Hello Mr. TD, this is just an infatuation
Or maybe a wonderful dream or illusion,
With my heart and mind committed to God
You Mr. TD serves as my inspiration.
May you always feel God’s everlasting love,
May you always receive the blessings above,
May the Spirit of God fills your heart with joy,
Hello Mr. TD, know Him more and rejoice.
I wrote this on April 1, 1998 after our summer outing at Punta Buluarte.
Pag-ibig
Pag-ibig ay damdamin ating nadarama
Walang makakaagaw kahit sino pa man,
Ikaw man ay mayaman o isang dukha
Iyong madarama ang pag-ibig na wagas.
Ngunit ang pag-ibig ay dapat ingatan
Ng isang irog na puso’y nagmamahal,
Pagkat pagsinaktan ang puso ng sinta
Walang kasing sakit ang siyang madarama.
Ang pag-ibig na iyong inaalay sinta
Iyong pakatiyakin iyan ay tapat,
Kahit na ang puso ay musmos sa pag-ibig
Ay nakadarama rin ng kapighatian.
Pag-ibig, o pag-ibig na sinisigaw
Nitong aking puso sa iyo aking irog,
Wari’y sasabog ang dibdib sa sikip
Kung ito’y di mo tutugunin mahal.

Discreet
You have a special spot here in my heart,
Which somewhere down the past, it was only for a pal.
Until a spark from your eyes lighten up that spot,
And sprout out fruit which I call love.
Which somewhere down the past, it was only for a pal.
Until a spark from your eyes lighten up that spot,
And sprout out fruit which I call love.
The unspoken words that so hard to explain,
The feelings that are difficult to contain,
Lest I will have a chance to say,
They will just be in the quiet place to stay.
The feelings that are difficult to contain,
Lest I will have a chance to say,
They will just be in the quiet place to stay.
Thank you for the time spent when you're here,
Thank you for not forgetting my special day,
Thank you for listening to my daily daze,
And never get tired of my crazy trips.
Thank you for not forgetting my special day,
Thank you for listening to my daily daze,
And never get tired of my crazy trips.
The time will come, I'll go to rest,
And this spot will forever be in quest,
Thru the simple and thoughtful notes I mailed,
I hope you'll hear my silent love and care.
And this spot will forever be in quest,
Thru the simple and thoughtful notes I mailed,
I hope you'll hear my silent love and care.
