Lucky

Photo by Jerrold Carandang

As it all came to pass I smile about the things which once hurt me
I am lucky that I have not felt the love I deserved
I am lucky that I have been fooled
I am lucky that I have stumbled upon a wrong decision
All of these made me wiser


I am lucky that I have felt betrayal as I gained the discernment 
to know who are phony and who are loyal
I am lucky to have known the feeling of solitude
All of these made me stronger


It seems like yesterday
I was on track then went astray;
was in bliss then wanted pain to go away                          
laughed,
loved,
cried,

I am lucky that I failed in love a lot of times
I am lucky that I felt the urge of giving up
I am lucky that all these things came into place
All of these led me in being where you are
I am lucky that I have lost
because it was then that I found you

 
"All I went through, led me to you, I'll do it all over again."
-a line from Natasha Beddingfield's song

My Sweet Dream

Photo by Jerrold Carandang to whom this poem was made for

Effortlessly, you make me                                                                                                 see my dreams fulfilled,                                                                                     

my fears diminished,
and my peace always within reach

Unconsciously, you make me
want to be better
strive even harder
and see things without the obscurity of cynism

Unknowingly, you make me
be in such a trance I won't want to end
be in this place I once feared to tred
be in this spot I'd give everything to have until the end

Effortlessly,
Unconsciously,
Unknowingly,
You make me feel
the want, the longing, the yearning
to keep on feeling what you make me feel
to keep on keeping the feeling I deem to be surreal

SA IYONG PAGYAO

wag mo kong sanayin

na kunin

galing sa yo

ang mga bagay

na alam mong

hindi mo maibibigay

mula ngayon

hanggang sa kahuli-hulihan

magalak

magbunyi

magpakaligaya

ayokong maramdaman ang mga yan

kung panandalian lang

walang katumbas na saya

ang nadarama pag pinansin mo na

pag pinag- lalaanan mo na ng oras

pag pinara- ramdaman mo na ng halaga

itong katauhan kong

naghahanap ng importansya

wag mo kong sanayin

na kunin

galing sa yo

ang mga bagay

na alam mong

hindi mo maibibigay

mula ngayon

hanggang sa kahuli-hulihan

ayokong dumating ang isang araw

na makikita ko ang sarili kong luhaan

at ang tanging maisasambit lang ay:

"sinanay mo kasi ako ng ganito,

paano na ngayon ako na wala na ang mga ito?"

kaya wag na lang kaya

maaring iwan mo na ang ideyang

lumapit pa

kung isang araw ay

bigla biglaan ka rin lang lilisan

wag mo kong sanayin

na maangkin

galing sa yo

ang mga bagay

na alam mong

hindi mo maibibigay

mula ngayon

hanggang sa kahuli-hulihan

masarap damhin ang atensyon,

ang oras ng isang tapong espesyal sa yo

masarap malamang me nag-iisip sa yo

masarap masanay sa lahat ng 'to

ngunit marapat lang na hindi ko tanggapin

ang presensya mo

alam kong walang permanente dito sa mundo

pero kung di ka rin lang magtatagal

maari bang ngayon pa lang

ikaw na ay yumao?

ngayon pa lang ako na'y paulit- ulit na nagsusumao:

wag mo kong sanayin

na maangkin

galing sa yo

ang mga bagay

na alam mong

hindi mo maibibigay

mula ngayon

hanggang sa kahuli-hulihan
