PAANO BA GUMAWA NG TULA

PAANO ba gumawa ng magandang TULA
TULA na may tamang sukat at TUGMA
TUGMAng pantig mabulaklak na SALITA
SALITAng dapat umayon sa SIMULA

SIMULA ng tula dapat may tamang BAYBAY
BAYBAY ng panitik dapat saktong BILANG
BILANG ng patinig minsan pa ay KULANG
KULANG sa diwa tula pa’y walang BUHAY

BUHAY na dapat laman ng iyong KWENTO
KWENTOng aakit sa bumabasang TAO
TAO na minsa’y paghuhugutan ng LAKAS
LAKAS upang sa tula’y MAIBULALAS

MAIBULALAS katagang HAHANAPIN
HAHANAPIN sa balong ubod ng LALIM
LALIM ng salita’y dapat PAKASURIIN
PAKASURIIN salitang BIBIGKASIN

BIBIGKASIN mga kataga ay SAPAT
SAPAT na mauunawaan ng LAHAT
LAHAT na babaybaying pantig may SUKAT
SUKATan ang lalim ng ilog at DAGAT

Good Morning! Good morning!
To all my gentlemen,
and all those charming ladies
who are my greatest fans!

Oh, I know you love me
There's no need to repeat
For I know I'm close to your heart,
so please take your seat.

My dazzling teeth has set me apart
From every soul I know yet now -
Oh, I know l'm stunning
And I really don't know how!

I believe my chivalry
Has impressed men and women alike
I bet that's the reason
why I'm the one you like.

I'm not afraid to admit
That I'm strapping, brave, and tall
I know surely enough
That I'm the greatest of all!

My life has been full of lovers
who admire me from their heart.
Despite being against my will, my talent
has always made others thwart.

My eyes are a startling blue -
I'm different for my shiny, auburn hair,
I'm the purest soul in existence
For I know I'm always just and fair.

Well, I'm flawless from every angle
My handwriting is most neat
studies are my right hand -
While sports, you see, is the dust of my feet.

I have a remedy,
an infusion,
a passion.

It will ease what troubles you—
your worries,
your pains.

Follow the advice
you’d give a friend.
You might stumble,
but you’ll feel whole again.

Feel with your soul,
think like a genius.

And above all,
hold on to your values,
never stop being you.

These shades of love
Which seem like the end
What could be better than this ?
What more could universe offer?
One left others came
For how long could I celebrate your departure
When the ones who came
Celebrated me
Their heads fall on my shoulders
And it makes me believe
Winters do lead to springs
I feel so full right now
As if these emotions would drown me
A wish to worship
Or may be to be worshiped?
Well that won’t happen
As I didn’t even realise
And I had turned into an ocean
And the depth would do nothing
But **** them
So I have begun to keep ships on the shores
So they can sail around
Because at the end
They are all sailors
On a voyage of their own
Sailing through this ocean
Carrying a part of it with them
The fear shouldn’t be in question
But this devotion creates one
This seems like the end
What could be better than this?
What more could this universe give ?
All of this
Seems forever…
But then….
How long is this forever?

what if I'm so anxious
because I'm focusing on all the things
I'll say goodbye to
when I could be thinking about
all the things I'll say hello to
I'm saying goodbye to lots of things
but I'm saying hello to even more

“Hello” is a bad word that sits at the tip of her tongue.
Like a snake’s venom, it is always there, always ready.
It lies in wait, hoping for the next unsuspecting victim.
The pain is preceded by hope. A glimmer of “Maybe.”
Maybe when those fangs sink into me, it won’t hurt me.
Maybe the sweet anaconda embrace is a hug this time.
Maybe this is the last time her hissed hello will bite me.

In the dance of days, where moments fleet, I greet with a smile so sweet. In the whispers of dawn, in the hush of night, I bless your soul, in love's pure light.
For in each greeting, a bond takes flight, A connection deep, beyond mere sight. And in each blessing, wisdom found, A sacred echo, a timeless sound.
So let us greet with hearts so grand, And bless with a gentle, understanding hand. For in this journey, we all withstand, The beauty of life, so vast and grand.

"Right under the skin it lingers
Sitting alone in a field laced with nevers
The stockings were hung but they fell off the wall
The tearful shedder from whom you depart
God,why is the stairway so high

Hate locks the door to the heart
Within that gloomy volume
true wisdom would not
give desperation
a chance to grow
And passions are cooled to absolute zero
And chimpanzee bookies
Lay odds on your death
Over/Under 2 weeks

I knew there was a turn
but it never turned up
Remnants find their way to the floor
A soak in the rain
Casting light through
all my shadows
Our perfect shaped stone in the dark of night
Leaving your soup of hope in Everything you touched
A day for lions will come

Squirrels came out of nowhere
My face gets
sticky
To the point you come out richer than you were before
The cold kept me in today
Captivated by captivity
I only let her skim the surface
But I see too much, scratching out your eyes
I write to be free, flows right out of me
She let love lead, soft, slow and brave
And the spark off a sparrows wing
All of them
In their wonder
Are on my side"
