The promise
of tonight
stirs within

Let it
soon
begin
5pm, Saturday. #10w
What if I fell in love
With a broken down *******
Not because I needed to fix him
But simply because I wanted to revel in his beauty
The maddening craziness
Of a life
A life that didn't need to be maintained with perfection
A life where you could just knock down pillars that you didn't need
Destroy friendships that weren't beneficial
A life where one could disown one's own mother
Without the whole neighbourhood offering their tut-tuts
And their 5 cents too many
About how to trim your garden
What if I fell in love with a life
Who let their weeds grow
And created a garden out of thorns
A **** patch that would make those neighbours shriek
What if I fell in love with chaos and disorder
Not to right the tables
Nor to order the shelves
What if I didn't attempt to prune the garden
But I let it grow into a forest
And then laughed when I stepped on a thorn
What if I let the sun shine through the madness
What if I opened my arms to the destruction
What if you sung me a lullaby out of tune
And I asked you to sing it anyways…

☆☆♡♡♡ HELLO POETRY ♡♡♡☆☆

Thank you all so much for your support of my work! This was such a pleasant surprise!
I wish I could thank each and every one of you who is commenting and responding to this piece. Unfortunately things are happening at my home which are beyond my control. My dad wasn't feeling well. He's better now but he still has a lump in his right cheek. He had had cancer at the base of his tongue and this is in the same area. Thank you for your prayers and well wishes! They are greatly appreciated!

I'm just putting everything in God's hands.

Sisimulan ko na
Ang kwento nating dalwa
Natatandaan mo pa ba?
Wasak ka non, dahil sa kanya
Nariyan ako, para alalayan ka.
Iniiyakan mo siya.
Iniiyakan kita.

Siguro totoo nga
Na minamahal natin
Ang mga taong hindi sa atin.

Kalaunan, nagbago ang ihip ng hangin
Isang araw, ikaw ay lumapit sa akin
At may sinabing na aking ikinabigla
“ mahal kita “

Abot langit ang tuwa
Ng binanggit ang tatlong salita
Pero may konting pagdududa
Aking puso ay nangangamba
Nabigla ka lang ba?
O totoo ang iyong mga salita?

Pero siguro nga,
Isa akong malaking tanga
Dahil kahit may pangamba
Ay minahal parin kita

Sinagot kita
Naging tayong dalwa
Tayo’y masaya.
Tumatawa.
Nagmamahalan tayong dalwa

Pero ngayon?
Isa nalang itong mga alaala.
Ikaw.
Ako.
Tayo...
Tayong dalawa.
Ay tapos na.

Ito na ang huli.
Pangako.
Dahil alam ko
May mahal ka ng iba.
Masaya ka na
Tumatawa ka na...

Sa piling ng iba.

Hayaan mo.
Naniniwala ako.
Na balang araw,
Ngingiti nalang ako
Pag naalala ko.
Na nagkaroon pala ng ‘tayo’.
Who actually am I?
When I realized it?
It was the time when
Most hardly I was hit.

All that matters
Is you are alive.
To fight for the rights
That you are deprived.

Enough Is Enough!
I've been a long time in a Cage.
See in my eyes
It's time for Revolution Rage.

Roads will be rough,
Because they are meant to be.
Just Don't stop trying,
If you want chains to Free.

Pain is necessary
For being strong and to reach High.
Wings are of no use,
Courage is needed to Fly.

Enough Is Enough!
Now I will perform on Stage.
You better watch my steps
  It's time for Revolution Rage.

I know you will fall, not fail,
That's the way how we Learn.
just remember to stand up back again
You have nothing to lose and nothing to mourn

Your pain is the Power,
That lies inside your Chest.
Get up, Wake up, Take action.
You've no time to rest

Tell Yourself

Enough is Enough!
Born in me, will be a new courage
See in my determination,
It's time for Revolution Rage
It's all about the beast that lies inside which can't bear injustice. All it needs a spark to turn in fire that can bring revolution
