Bury Me
In a mausoleum interred don't let me be
Nor in a metal box lay the remains of me
be buried underground six feet, it is too deep
Only a shallow grave is what for me I wish
So I can go to dust, whereto I should return
And again of nature a part I will become
Feed and nourish even the weeds and lowly grass
Be of use and value, which I was not in life

Langis at Tubig
Ang halakhak mo ay kidlat ang katulad
Sa pandinig ko ay tumagos, bumasag
At sa puso ko ay tinik na naglagos
Nag-iwan ng subyang, ng mga salubsob
Ng alaala mo'y laging nasasaling
Ang mga subyang na tumimong malalim
Mga alaalang mapakla't mapait
Ng mga kataga na iyong sinambit
'Iba ang sa iyo at aking daigdig
Hindi mag-iisa, hindi magsasanib
Ang iyo ay langis, ang akin ay tubig'

Paglilimas
PAGLILIMAS
Ang paglilimas ay saan ginagawa
Sa mga bukirin, sa kanal o lawa
Sa katag-arawan, maaring sa sapa
Na putol-putol na at agos na'y wala
Kung ang paglilimas, sa kanal gagawin
Sa tamang sukat ay hahati-hatiin
Sa pamamagitan ng dam o pilapil
Na yari sa damo, lupa kaya'y putik
Saka isasaboy palabas ang tubig
Madalas na gamit, balde, pala't timba
Pag tubig ay nasaid, lilitaw ay isda

Lost
Along the highway of my life
I drive sans certainty
And though the air is filled with cloud
A dead end now I see
As I wanted to turn around
and take another route
At the rear view mirror made a glance,
viewed the curves and turns I took
I want to back track on my trail
But can't make out anything
The path I took was so unclear,
with much meanderings
For I have wandered aimlessly
From the start to the end

Who Invented the Wheel?
Who invented the wheel?
It is an F. A. Q.
That is here eversince
The wheel came into view
Were it the Sumerians?
Can anyone say who?
Everybody's asking
Nobody seems to know
Who did first use the wheel?
The same and old query
The answer is around
Though not easy to see
Salamander or spider
Transforms into a ball
And like a wheel he goes
Down of a hill he rolls
A wheel without axle
He doesn't have to crawl

Nasaan ang Puso ko
Isang umaga no'n, ako ay nagising
Na ang aking puso ay wala sa akin
Kahit anong hanap ay di ko makita
Siya ba ay naligaw, kung saan napunta
Ang ilang babae ay aking tinanong
Kung ang puso ko ba'y sa kanya naroon
Hindi maliwanag ang kanilang tugon
Baka daw ang puso ko'y naglilimayon
Sa kahahanap ay ako'y napagod na
Talagang hindi ko makita sa iba
Siya ba'y na kay Barang o na kay Kulasa
Wala pala doon, nasa kay Violeta

Naked I came
Into this world naked I came
Because naked You sent me
But temptation is everywhere
Widely scattered on my way
And I gathered material things
That is how it seems should be
Material things I'll own a while
Like the life You loaned to me
Be I burried in a coffin of gold
Or wrapped in a mat of grass
I should leave everything behind
And face you with an empty hand
For naked did I come hereto
Naked I should go back to You

The Heart or the Mind
Some say it's better that a man to stay out of love
Yes I did but I failed, forget her I could not
I tried to forget her, put her out of my mind
Out of my mind she was, but still in my heart
A strong will power is always said to prevail
Threw her out of my mind, but she was back again
To a heart meek and weak, will lose the mind and will
A weaker heart is strong, mightier than the brain
For when it comes to love, it is the heart that reigns

PersevIni and my Love
PersevIni I need thee so, PersevIni please by mine
Without thee dreams are just dreams that is why thee I desire
PersevIni I need thee, but why can't thou just be mine
A man with thee goes far ahead and those without just lag behind
Thou embody the one I love and my love one embodies thee
But both of you are elusive, and can't just both belong to me
Why art thou and the one I love, so evasive and far away
PERSEVerance, INItiative and MY LOVE, mine would you be?

Pante
PANTE
Ang pante ay gillnet sa Ingles ang tawag
Pero para sa aki'y mali't hindi dapat
Sa Tagalog kasi ang gill ay ang hasang
Ang pante ay hindi para sa hasang lang
Ang isda sa pante din ay sumasabit
Hindi lang sa hasang kundi sa palikpik
Super habang volleyball net ang nito'y tulad
Walang poste magkabila, basta nakaladlad
Mayroong palutang, mayroong pabigat
Para palaging vertical, laging nakalawit
Na parang kurtina sa gitna ng tubig
Ang isda na sumuong, tiyak na sasabit
