Forever Free
i was imprisoned
behind bars
there was no way
my physique could be out
i do not mind
the devils in them
could not
let me dwell here
my mind long ago gone
and discovered, peace, ecstacy
behind these brown and stained iron grills
never can they contain
my heart that had gone astray
beyond their naked eyes
no they can never spoil
the love from within me
not with their uncaring soul
not with their whips of desolation
my heart will forever be free
wild and free..

Too much ado about birthdays? ? ?
.i had experience bdays...
on a hospital corridor...
doing nothing but..
battling bottled up emotions..
what had made me survive
some greetings from texters
here there and everywhere
i had too that birthday
inside a bus
nothing to sit on

Cry Not
hear me
cry not
for pretenders they will
only destroy your dispositions
believe me
some wear masks to hide
their real identity
think wisely never surrender your right
to love and to life
you are just unique
you are the only you
cry not for lost dreams
they are lost anyway
you can dream again a better dream
for there will always be moonlight nights
if not you can dream on a day
you may build castles in the sand
only to loss them with the waves
build castles within the hearts of man
and you will live forever

Forever Lost
lost in a maze of emotions
nowhere to go in that labyrynth of isolation
eyes turning round and around
the clock gets tired and the moonbeams drowse
a soul was destined to go astray
in a world unknown for love
..gone were all the moments
of happiness in heaven gone wild
and the feet crumbled on blood stained
winding road that point to nowhewre
a heart was shattered broken crying for
another love? but no hands extended..
there were just moans and wailings from beyond
coming from dead stars and galaxies that were long ago gone
to oblivion and unwanted memories of
a love gone sour..
there was an
explosion of muted silence and war began
between the mind and the heart..
another man was lost

Reviving The Dead
i wish
i could let saddam be born again
i would open up his skull
take out his genius brain find out
what made him so so bad..
i pray Rizal be back
let us see if he can solve
the war between muslims and christians
if he is really that genius of a race
let Marcos be alive and prove
he did not craft the death of Ninoy
and that history will rest for him
and he be a hero of our times?
wishing Moses here on earth
to explain how he really made
the parting of the sea as we see on movies?
wish that some of the gone souls
be back and preach that there is
really the beauty of heavens
and the hotness of hell

Whisper
i heard
the whisper of the thunder
and in silenced my dreams
shouted a deafening murmur
of a love gone wild
at the river of no return.
there was the brook
where the moss cling
and watch the beating of the heart
float to the hideaway of forgotten melodies
of a love gone astray
in the wilderness of lost emotions
i heard the silent protests
of souls gone weird
frozen on the valley of death
where the bloodshed eyes let bitter tears
be the nourishment of the dry sand
blown by the winds of constant change
i was left unmoved
my feet got numbed so i just looked

Teach Me Not Because
teach me not
of hatred.my heart
cries for love true and pure
teach, me not of wars
my mind had not come across
what is meant of prison cells
i do not wish to chase white doves
and put them in a cage
die of hunger
i want them to live peacefully
freely...dance with the wind
rest on white clouds
for they are the keeper of peace
not just on earth but also in heaven.
teach me not
of isolation and despair
i want to live among men
care for their plight
sing for them the songs of the lark
and their dreams be of a place

Friends
.they come..
come and go..
go and fade away...
fade away and never look back..
but there are friends..
real friends..
that had gone somewhere..
fade away..im memories
but when they are needed..
they just pop out..

Joyride
i want to take a ride
on the long and winding road of life
travel on his stony path
never mind the problems
i do not treat them as stubling blocks
for me they are he stepping stones
to become better and so i ride
on bridges..oh sometimes i think
why some people create walls instead of bridges
bridges connect walls separate
yet on my journey there are so many
walls more than bridges maybe
these are some reasons why people sometimes harbor hathred
yeah i want to take a ride
to the mountains and hills of life
even sometimes problems that come
are not like hills but mountains
yet mountains and hills can be climb
if you are patient enough
let my travel floats me

If
if
i could live for another day
for your kiss
would i taste the sweetness of your lips
beneath the moonless sky
or with the witness of the stars?
yet can it be under a shady tree
while the lark sings a melody
of the brook nearby
yet a kiss is but a kiss
wherever we took the bliss
as long as the lips tasted that of love
and the blessings of a caring heart
if
i could live just for another day
along the bay
would i be picking seashells
to decorate my dry room
or rather throw stones at the waves
and create ripples
