Hollow

last night a part of me died
it rolled down your cheek as you cried

it left a big stain on your pillow

now inside i'm black and hollow

it pains me to see you cry

i wanna be beside you, wish i could fly

i'm staring outside my window 

helpless as i hear you bellow

knew i'll never see the light of day

when you asked me to stay away

my heart bleeds, shot by an arrow

the rain can't wash away my sorrow

all i wanted was to be with you

but i'm killing you, i never knew

i'd rather suffer alone than feel your woe

to heal you, i have to go

Bumbay Ng Aking Buhay

ang bumbay ng aking buhay

simple lang at di kikay

makapal ang kanyang kilay

mga mata nya ay mapungay

sa ganda nya tulo aking laway

hinding hindi nakakaumay

buhay ko ay nagkakulay

nang minsan sya ay kumaway

sa kotse ko sya'y sumakay

akala ko sya ay sasabay

kahit sana hanggang tulay

ngunit bigla na lang nag bye bye

bumitaw sya sa aking kamay

hindi daw sya mapalagay

gusto daw nya ay hiwalay

di man lang naghinayhinay

kahit minsan ako'y pasaway

pagibig ko naman ay tunay

ngayon ako'y naglulupasay

buhay nawalan ng saysay

nanlalata parang gulay

at parang lumang tinapay

walang palamang kalamay

nagiisa't walang kadamay

nasan ka na aking bumbay?

sana di na lang nasanay

na ikaw ang aking gabay

ako ngayon ay naghihintay

nagiisip, nakahandusay

di na ata makakasilay

Goodnight

tonight when i close my eyes

i'll dream of a life with you

a place where nobody cries

and no one cares what we do

there i can make you happy

i'll be the one holding you

we are young, we are free

to share a love that is true

i won't let go, i won't let-up

until my love reigns supreme

i hope never to wake up

and realize you're but a dream

so gently rock my cradle

sing me one last lullaby

good night my sweet angel

tonight i bid you goodbye

Little Miss Heartbreaker

she's a heartbreaker

oh you should see her

she's funny and silly

what an eye candy

many men have tried

but most of 'em cried

she's a heartbreaker

and a life-taker

she'll sing a love song 

weakening the strong

she'll watch a chick flick

while feeding on the weak

she's a heartbreaker

go duck for cover

dare take her quizzes

no hits, only misses

with words she'll be straight

risk pain if you wait

she's a heartbreaker

oh she's a wonder

she cries at happy endings

but tough and unrelenting

she's one fine lady

she'll make you go crazy

she's a heartbreaker

and a breathtaker

my heart would skip a beat

when she smiles, what a treat

she gives me butterflies

i would heave heavy sighs

little miss heartbreaker

do you still remember?

we used to laugh together

'twas a joy like no other

i messed up your hair

we didn't even care

yes miss heartbreaker

i'm but a dreamer

the life that could have been

had fate not intervened

a world of hopeless dreams

we were teens, mindless streams

she's a heartbreaker

and i so love her

i couldn't help but fall

facial hair and all

gave it all i've got

love me, she does not

i ask, why heartbreaker?

did i even matter?

you chose to walk away

was there no other way?

you said you won't hurt me

i'm bleeding can't you see?

i know, heartbreaker

nothing lasts forever

and now i'm a goner

i'm neither here nor there

lost in a sea of ember

on a journey to nowhere

she's a heartbreaker

and i can't have her

left with words on paper

and images to remember

my dear heartbreaker
can't believe it's over

Seventh Heaven

For M...

It has been six weeks going on seven

Color and beauty to a life stale and barren

'Twas a rush, it came all of a sudden

Memories i'll keep, amazing and golden

Some pain and grief but for the most part, heaven

The meaning of it all to me still hidden

I wonder why we can't have another seven

I say amp it up, you say lessen..end it even

I'll take whatever is meant to happen

In the end i hope to find my haven

But today i walk among the fallen

Lost in Translation

more clichés than you can shake a stick at


Indo boy,

So you’re going home again. Looking forward to seeing me again huh? Wishing to make up for lost time? I’d bet my bottom dollar you are expecting a lot. Better hold your horses but don’t hold your breath mate. I’m afraid faith won’t smile your way this time. I’m sorry to bust your bubble but things are quite different now. There are lots of things going on with my life right now that I don’t think I could squeeze meeting up with you.

I really appreciate all the attention you’ve been giving me. It’s flattering and all. It’s kinda sweet of you to tell me how much I mean to you and how much you miss me, but flattery will get you nowhere. You just can’t hit the broad side of a barn. It’s not you, it’s me. Not! I think it’s time for me to clear the air once and for all. The truth is, it’s you. Physically, you’re just not my type. You have a face only a mother could love. Personality-wise, you don’t quite cut it either. By and large you bore me to death. I say to-mah-to, you say to-may-to. We just don’t click. You don’t make the grade in any way, shape or form. I am way out of your league boy. We are worlds apart. From day one, you never really had the chance.

Ah the first kiss. You should know that you just caught me off guard. I was drunk as a skunk then so I just went with the flow. Yes, I did spend a lot of time with you the last time you were here. The happiest times of your life you said. Sweet. You were like a kid in a candy store. I’m sorry to bust your chops again, but I can’t say the same thing for me. Not even close. I’m not quite sure why I did it. Maybe due to the lack of better things to do. Or maybe I did it out of pity. I gave you an inch and you took a mile. Don’t ever make a mountain out of a molehill. You’re way in over your head to think that there’s more to that. You should have taken it for what it is – pretty much nothing. Nada. Zilch. You even had the gall to ask me to marry you?? Shiver me timbers. Where did that come from? No way Jose! As if! I just told you that ‘it’s too soon’ because I didn’t want to be a party-pooper, but you should know that it will be a cold day in hell before that happens.

You’ve been a thorn in my side. You’re advances are as welcome as a skunk at a lawn party. Didn’t you notice that I’ve been avoiding you like the plague? I wonder why subtlety can get lost on some people. Ignoring your calls and messages wasn’t an invitation for you to try to do more, comprende? I am so sick of it.

I’m terribly sorry for being so matter-of-fact. I didn’t want to get down to the nitty-gritty. I wanted you to get in on your own, read between the lines and put two and two together. But the elevator doesn’t seem to go to the top floor. Maybe I was speaking in riddles. I wish I drove the point home this time. I hope I made myself as clear as crystal. Hurting now? I couldn’t care less. You had it coming. You only have yourself to blame.

It’s time to accept reality and face the music. The light’s on but nobody is home. There’s no sense in beating a dead horse. No use crying over spilled milk. If I were in your shoes, I’d take it like a man and not bury my head in the sand. It’s over. The fat lady has sung.

Shit happens.

Goodbye =)

Where's My Kiss?

This was written a while back. My lowly attempt at poetry


Where's my kiss?
The kiss I long for and miss
Where's my kiss?
Your lips locked in mine is pure bliss
Tastes better than ham and cheese
I wonder when I'll get my kiss
Hopefully before the next price increase
Before gasoline prices hit the 40s
Where's my kiss? Though your heart isn't mine but his
Stand by your word and keep your promise
Where the hell is my kiss?
Can I have it before I die please?
Before I fade into the abyss
Pucker-up Yo' Miss
