Silence here sweet darling dear

Let our dreams create a fantasy

Eager laughters echoing the room

Early in the dawn with

Patience for the morning

Little girls and boys

Easygoing

Saunter their parents' bed and

Sleep a little more there; waking up to kisses every morn

Sunset pulls the moon up

To the clear night sky

Ring of stars big and small

All twinkling with her beauty

Wishing stars draw rain

Between the mystique

Enters hope in every prayer made

Rolling in the palms of Fate creating

Reality with magic and faith

Your dreams tonight come true

Misbehave my heart it does

Ever since she moves to our town

Little men suffer heartbreak

Appearing whenever she walks the park

Never thought to emulate their actions

'Cause self-respect is all I have

Hoping that someday we'll be alone

On the occasion I will confess

Looking as dashing as your prince on a white horse

Yearning for that special kiss

Everything I will give to you

And I'll always be there beside you

Race with time to know more about you

Share with me

A color of your rainbow after I

Ceased from crying rain.

Receive me wholeheartedly although

I am a broken glass with shattered pieces

Find in me the things that you love and

If possible excuse those that you hate

Care for these broken pieces of me

Especially the soul of my body

Symbolizes all that is me - the missing parts included

Unloved is what I feel

Never thought that this is real

Always questioning other people's motives

Praying that this time without a doubt

Over everyone I've met thus far

Love, you are the last.

On this day, in front of God,

Gathering those who support us,

Everyone on Earth and Heaven,

Together, as two parts making whole.

In the name of Our Lord,

Carry our hearts to unite

As one.

Let us offer our best

Love, and may we grow

Year after year until death do us part.

SAPANTAHA (Suspicion)

Sa aking piling ika'y akin, ngunit

Awit mo'y sa kanya ibinabahagi.

Pigil ko ang hinanakit kahit na

Ako'y nakadarama ng pighati.

Noon at ngayon ika'y mahal pa rin.

Tumitibok ang aking puso kapag ika'y nariyan.

Ano ba ang maaari kong gawin

Hangga't puso'y sinisigaw ang ngalan mo,

Aking sinisinta?

WAITLISTS (English translation of the SAPANTAHA poem)

With me you are mine

And yet your song's for her.

I suppressed the resentment even

Though I feel grief.

Loving you then and now

I feel my heart beats when you're near.

So what can I do as long as

The heart shouts your name,

Sweetheart, dear?

Maybe our fate will always

End with goodbye; in this lifetime as well. 

Maybe the only reason we meet

On repeat is to make me realize that

In no way you'll be mine.

Reality dictates that you and I

Step on different paths.

Main St. is bustling at 2 AM

Overhead I hear the chopper's blade

Rearing cool night breeze

Not far, the sound of siren echoes and

I think, "Here we go again." Another

Night of chasing

Guess people have hustling to do in the twilight

Because I said I wouldn't do it doesn't mean I couldn't

Each person just needs to find the path uniquely theirs

Like when you're in the middle of the ocean and no island to rest on

It doesn't mean you'll never get out of the adversity you're currently in

End will come - a very good one

Vain results are not your outcome, just

Every day keep rowing, and everything will be fine

Cello echoes with an intimate touch

Amiably bringing comfort upon us

Caressing the tender hearts of those who listen

On such a gray, rainy day

Perhaps the piano can accompany it to create a 

Harmony of lovely notes reflecting

Our song which continues to play

Never missing a minute of the 

Years that come and go

Optimism that I'm The One;

Gratefulness that he'll never have to live alone;

Enjoyment he experiences doing things we both like;

Tenacious beating of his heart when I'm beside him;

Happiness he feels when I say I love him; and

Encouragement that I bestow him.

Shine,

It's been a long time since I've talked to you. I 

Never see you anymore, and I

Can't help but wonder why the friendship we had all those years ago

Ended so abruptly. Perhaps it's my fault for not

Reaching out early. Now, trying to communicate with you is awkward and

Extremely painful. But no matter the estrangement between us, I still

Love you unconditionally.

Yours truly, Jennifer.

Looking back

I

Felt that I must go for

Eternity, but then

I contemplated that maybe

Slashing my wrist was not the way, and

Praying helped me when no one could connect with me

Reaching out to someone invisible and beseeching

Every hope and wish and dreams I have

Can come true with the guidance He

Intended for me

Over the course of a lifetime I

Unexpectedly almost ended

So I get up every day, even now

Cease this

Ongoing sadness

None shall be alone

For every person shedding tears

Lord, the God, stays with us

Always

Giving us hope that with our small hands, we

Receive bountiful blessings

And yes, optimism doesn't always mean happiness, but

The contentment we're looking for isn't with someone else

It's within ourselves. We just have to find

Our own objectives and work toward our goals while

Never letting go of His hand.
