COMING CLEAN

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

You remarked "How come they like you?"

"They don’t even know how cruel you are!"

Well…here we go.

I’ve hurt people

trampled on their hearts because I liked having my own way

I’ve cheated love and made fools out of people who loved me

I’ve neglected the ones who really cared because at the time, I didn’t need them

I chose when and where I needed to be loved

And when I didn’t need it, I told it to go away

But now, months after the repentance and the forgiveness is done

I see it, love

hiding beneath an ice-cold armour of pain and self-preservation

I’ve shed my own armour

Took all my pride away so now all willl see me as I am

Could you take it off too?

I can’t take it off for you, as I was the one who put it there

But I can show you how it feels to be without it

and breathe life

and love

and freedom

STRENGTH IN WEAKNESS, COURAGE IN UNCERTAINTY

My tears are here

can you see them?

and the stains they make

on pages of poetry

My wounds are here

can you feel them?

and the scars they leave

on my battered soul

My strength is also here

can you taste it?

overwhelming every bitter thought

of loss and worry and pain

My faith is also here

can you hear it?

sonorous silence

a distant and persistent bell

[its amazing how much poetry there exists in a 5pm jog in Angelus]

HERE & NOW, THERE & LATER

Its as if time stands still as you hold my hand

for you hold it so perfectly, pristine and without an inch of lost space

then you smile as we part ways

and suddenly the memory is history

Its as if the world stops when you look into my eyes

when love is so obviously shown and poured out

then you smile as we part ways

and the memory is history

Replying comes hard

and the warmth is so quickly, inevitably gone

im vexed about what get’s in the way

that your warmth doesn’t live on fully

even for one whole day

WHEN YOU DOUBT

Thursday, August 3rd, 2006

When you doubt

and the world constricts around you

do not fear

youre stil free to live

still free to love

you still ownyour heart

you still own your soul

In obedience there is hope

In patience there is a dream

a dream of you

SANA LAGI

Mayroon akong pagsasalitaan bukas na pagtitipon ng mga kabataan sa DLSU-D.
At sa paggawa ko ng aking mensahe, inalok ako nang pinakamamahal kong kaibigan na siya
ang gumawa ng presentasyon sa komputer upang ipalabas bukas habang ako ay nagsasalita.
Napakasarap ng pakiramdam, napaka…tama. Maaaring ganito nalang sana ang palaging
mangyari hanggang sa kinabukasan, na magkatulungan kami.
