Sa Lilim ng Bandila

AI image

Sa lilim ng bandila, may sugat ang dangal,  
Ang hustisya’y nililimos sa bulsa ng hangal.  
Ang batas ay papel na nilalamukos,  
Habang ang makapangyarihan ay patuloy sa pang-aabuso.  

Sa bawat proyekto, may patong na lihim,  
Ang daan ay ginto—pero hindi para sa atin.  
Ang dukha’y naglalakad sa baha ng pangako,  
Habang ang may trono’y nalulunod sa pera at luho.  

May mga pangalan sa balita, paulit-ulit,  
Ngunit tila ba sila’y may balat-kaliskis.  
Ang kaso’y nabubulok sa silid ng paglimot,  
At ang katotohanan ay binibili ng salapi’t takot.  

Ngunit sa kabila ng dilim, may tinig na bumabangon—  
Tinig ng ina, ng magsasaka, ng kabataang pumipiglas  
Sa tanikala ng takot, ng tanong na walang sagot,  
Ng pag-asang pilit inaagaw ng mga tuso’t salot.  

Isang araw, ang bandila’y muling itataas  
Hindi sa palasyo, kundi sa puso ng masa.  
Ang katiwalian ay susuko sa liwanag,
At ang bayan ay babangon, muling magkakaisa...

English Version:


“Beneath the Flag’s Shadow”

Beneath the flag’s shadow, honor bleeds,  
Justice begs in the pockets of fools.  
The law like paper, crumpled and tossed,  
While the powerful leap without cost.  

Each project hides a secret fee, 
The roads paved in gold—but not for you and me.  
The poor walk through mud made of promises,  
While the throne drinks deep in indulgences.  

Names mentioned in the news like a curse,  
Yet they wear scales, immune to worse.  
Cases rot in rooms of forgetting,  
Truth is sold to fear and betting.  

But beyond the dark, a voice begins—  
A mother’s cry, a farmer’s hymn,  
The youth who cast away their chains,  
And hope that thieves cannot contain.  

One day, the flag will rise again,  
Not in palaces, but in the hearts of men.  
Corruption will kneel before the light,  
And the nation will rise—whole, upright.

My Star

I gaze through the lens, 
I thought you were a star.
Your love touches my eyes reaching me, 
touches life, outlining your presence in me.
Your warmth never burns, 
your hug glows inside me.
Your brightness, is subtle, impressive,
 a love that knows no distance.
You speak through my heart 
without even opening your lips.
We consummated our longing 
every time the world darkens.
You are humble enough 
to reach me beyond the expanse, 
telling me there is something
 rather than nothing.
I then realized that you saw me before 
or is it I that saw you?
Every night, our future meets from a distant past.
I wonder if you are still there.

Love Lost

📷 image credit slideshare.net/arrariv/il-gerriero-dela-luce

From that day when you left me,
my whole world fell apart...
my heart has broken into pieces...
and yet you were never satisfied...
never expected that you will step into it...
You asked me what was wrong,,
but I refused to answer what is inside of me...
I just said, "NOTHING SERIOUS"...
but when you turned your back on me,
I just whispered "EVERYTHING"...
A broken heart never really heals...
it was just kept in the deepest part of your life...
it was too funny to say that you've broken my heart,,
but still...
"I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART"...
The spaces between your fingers should be filled with mine...
but now it is filled with hers.
I never thought that the person whom  I've loved so much,,
cause me so much pain...
I've tried to forget you...
but no matter how I've tried,
I just can't let go of you...
I just wish that dreams and wishes do come true...
because in my dreams you were always there...
just like living in a fantasy,,
but when reality comes..you weren't there...
I've tried so hard to pretend that everything in me is doing alright...
but when I am all alone..the pain..the agony...
it's just like a wound that heals but the scar remains...
I've tried to cover it with a fake smile,,
and act as if it's not hurting me...
now I feel like I wanna hate the word "LOVE and GOODBYE"
I've foolishly held on tightly for our love...
even though I know I'm no longer the person in your heart...
a lot of my friends say that I should let go of you...
of all the things that connected us in our past,
I just smiled at them and silently cried...
you've torn my whole world apart and you don't even know it...
you were  the one who set it up,,
now you're the one who wants to stop it...
it's so hard to accept that everything between us is over...
you're the only person whom I cared for...
but you left me with a broken heart...
you've once made me feel like I'm on top of the world...
but now I am nothing but a living corpse...
Everything I've learned in breaking up...I learned it from you...
everything ends like how it begins...
love is like heaven but it can be like hell when breaking up is already there...
and the pain strikes your heart...
moving on is the hardest thing to do, especially when your heart wants to keep holding on...
And now I'm living in my own world...
pretending it was nothing...
I've tried to reach for something,,
something that will make me a new one...
though it was unreachable...
I go to a place where I can shout and scream out all the pain inside my heart...
but after that, I just kneel down and cry...
I have written your name on the sand,
but the sea washed it away...
just like how your love had been gone...
maybe I just need to write your name in my heart...
so that it can stay forever...
cause I know that my heart will always be yours...
now I know what true love really means...
once you love someone so true...
the person stays as part of you... forever...

A Poem for My Love

📷 image credit giphy.com/gifs/poetry

Starin' At The Moon So Blue...
Gazing At The Stars, I Feel You!
Just Wondering If There's A Clue?
When You Smile At Me Like The
The way I Do.

Even If I'm Not  Perfect!
I'll Try My Best Be Full Of Respect,
I'll Promise To Share My Life With You...
Waiting... Until You Love Me Too.

Your Face Makes My Mind Going Crazy
Your Smile Makes My Life Perfect
The Squint Of Your Eyes Saying...
I'm Your Perfect Combination.

In All My Day And All My Night
I'm Admiring You With All My Heart,
Hoping You And I Will Fall Apart
And You Become The Meaning
Of My Life.

You're My Song


📷 image credit favim.com

Kung lahat ng tao sa paligid mo iniwan ka
If everyone left you
H'wag na h'wag mong iisiping ika'y nag-iisa
Don't ever think that you are alone
Nandito lng ako mag-aalaga sa 'yo
I'm just here to take care of you
Ibibigay ko sa 'yo lahat-lahat pati sariling buhay ko
I would give it all even my own life
Pag ika'y nagkamali sa iyong ginawa
If you made  mistakes in your life
Ipapakita ko sa 'yong hindi ka dapat mahiya
I would show that you dont have to be ashamed
Hahawakan ko nang mahigpit ang iyong kamay
I shall hold your hand tightly
At sasabihin ko sa 'yong "hindi ka dapat malumbay"
And would tell you, " you shouldn't be sad"
Ito ang awitin ng buhay ko
This is the song of my life
Ang lirics nito ay umiikot sa mundo mo
The lyrics of this song revolves  around you
K'ya please h'wag ka mawawala sa buhay ko
So, please don't ever be gone in my life
Dahil baka matapos ang "your song" ng buhay ko..
It might end the song in my life.

Mine ...

📷 image credits https://www.picswe.com/pics/tear-wallpaper-35.html

Dewdrops fall as the tears through my cheek rolls...

How can I set you free, when I know you still have me...

How can I make you see..how much you mean to me...

I am thee, thou are mine.

But we can see how hard for our minds...

how painful for our hearts...

knowing we couldn't be MINE...
