I can still remember those days and I'm still asking myself... Can we still go back?...

MAGICIAN

A magic that exists

A disguise that appears

Everyone can’t see through this

A person who hide things

You’re not God but a pretender who fool eyes

A trick that makes everyone happy in one sight

But I guess it doesn't feel right

To deceive everyone in a flash of light

They say it's not real

You say right it is

Then what for is this?

You said, "To believe for what you can't see."

My tricks maybe fake

But the smile on their face

Are real that not fades

Unlike the strong burst of rain that in one glimpse may fade.

A magician who hides his secrets

With illusions to present

Is not to pretend but to reveal

That there are things that shall remain a mystery

Footsteps

As I close my eyes

I still remember how you broke the ice

I clenched my fist

But I still can’t feel at ease

My tears fell down

Even if you didn’t want

But you chose to lie

Between the truths that makes me die

 One must step closer

To interpret someone’s deep feelings

I took the step deeper

Sighing through the air’s emotions

 You step forward

Eyes were met with quiet distance

Letting me choose one card

The Ace of Hearts or the Queen of Spades

 I couldn’t understand anything

But you put the ace on my hands

Dragged me into your chest

Saying…

“I can’t… but I want to”

 I can feel your heartbeat

But you chose to escape

Your lies with your footsteps

Leaving me inside the pain

Sa tula na lang Idadaan

Sa tula na lang ba idadaan? Ang bawat letra, salita, pangungusap na gusto kong malaman mo Ang bawat linya na gusto kong tumatak sa'yo Ang bawat nakatagong lihim sa likod ng mga mapapanlinlang na kahulugan Hanggang sa tula na nga lang ba?

Gusto ko... Gusto kong malaman mo... Sa'yo laan lahat ng tula ko Pagkat ikaw ang inspirasyon ko Inspirasyon... Sa lahat ng sakit, paniniwala at pag-asa Na maaari mong mabasa Kahit isa lang sa aking mga daang tula Hindi man ngayon Kahit sa isang araw, buwan o taon Basta mabasa mo Dahil... Hindi ko kayang sabihin ng harapan sa'yo

Hanggang sa pagsulat ng tula na nga lang ba? Kayang sabihin ang nararamdaman ng di mo nalalaman Hanggang dito na nga lang ba? Sa papel at tinta ng panulat ko Ang mga nakakubling nararamdaman na ngayon hindi mo pa rin alam.

Idadaan na nga lang ba sa tula? Ang mga saloobing "Mahal Kita" At kung mababasa mo man, Malaman mo kaya? Na ikaw lang ang tinutukoy ko at wala ng iba. Malaman mo mang ikaw, at ako ma'y tanungin mo? Masasagot ko kaya ang mga tanong mo? Aamin ba ako? O magpapanggap na ang mga tulang iyon ay walang kabuluhan Na bawat tulang ginawa ay dala lang ng imahinasyon Di ko alam... Di ko masagot... Subalit... Sana'y mabasa at malaman mo Ang mga nararamdamang sa tula ko idinaan.

Clock

Seconds are counting.

Still, you're not here.

Minutes had passed.

I am patiently waiting.

The small hand of the clock,

Trying to catch the longer hand's back

Like a race of cars but always in the last.

Wondering if they could ever meet just even once

Yes they will, but can they stick on each other hands?

Not just for sixty counts that makes a minute round.

I walked again, hoping that time will easily passed by.

Exactly 12 o'clock, we met in the park.

One minute of staring, you walked apart.

Rain is pouring as I watch your back.

I waited for the clock's hands to be aligned.

Waiting for the moment that it would stay attached.

Could rust slow down the tickling of the clock?

Take away it's battery to make it stop?

Turn its hands counterclockwise to make things right?

Now, the clock revolved twice.

Reaching its one day of twenty four hours

Starting its new seconds and minutes in a playful time.

Facing another twist in an unknown path

Hours that had passed in a continuous flash.

Remembering things that couldn't be back

Memories that was enough to keep in touch

Looking back will always be a part

Our present into the past

Gives hope and another chance

Change perspectives in a better plot

Life that moves in the power of time

I Thought  

I thought you’re the first person who’ll understand me

Because you always listen to my complaints

I thought you care for me

Because you always give me a hand

I thought you’ll never leave me

But you walked away and leave me by my side

I thought you love me

But I’m only just a substitute for her

I thought I’m important to you

Yes, I am…

But she’s more important to you

I’m always wrong

For my thoughts that was just a lie for you

Those   thoughts that I made up with my mind

Those conclusions I assumed to be right

I should not believed you

I was wrong that you also thought about me

I should stop…

Because I’m the only one who’ll get hurt at the end

Sunset

 Before the sunset gone

I want you to stay… just a few minutes with me

I don’t want us to part ways

Please… just a little moment

Spare me some time

Hear me out

I want to tell you something

Words I couldn’t tell you before

Beats that my heart create yet you can’t hear

I want you to know that

I desire to stay by your side

I wish us to stay like this

I want to hear your voice

I like you from a very long time

And I…

I love you since then

But before I could say those words

You left and wave as part of your goodbye

Get her on the other part of this road

Happily… grabbing her hands

And as you left and I’m watching your trace

The sunset witnessed everything

And it slowly left as I cried on my knees

Do Not Enter

I didn’t know when it started

But I wanted to enter

Enter something that I wasn’t sure about

With a deep sigh and great conviction

You came into my life

As a friend whom I can always talk

A friend whom I know I can give my trust

A person who knows who I am

I know I shouldn’t be telling this

But I wanted you to know

Being with you makes me happy

You might not notice because of the mask I am wearing

You’re now in front of me

Shall I enter and step closer into the sign of “Do Not Enter”?

Face the consequences of a forbidden rule

With results divided into two answers “Yes or No”

Now I’ve decided

I’ll face and go through it

I will break the rule “Do Not Enter”

And will make a new sign of “Entering Risks”

HIDDEN

Deep inside the underground

A voice speaks without sound

Words that wanted to be unbound

Hiding for so long around

In the place where the light slowly peeks

An escape in prison that seeks

Would it be the signal for it to speak?

Between the clock hands that ticks

Crying for the time that runs out

For the truth that can’t be speak by mouth

With the light that was just in front of south

With darkness of fears that covers out

Would silence speak to the coming desire?

Would emotions start litting the fire?

Would courage be enough to stand?

Would answer be able to show right now?

The time is running fast but still hiding behind bars

One day it will came out with braveness from heart

Revealing the truth that was kept from a long time

But for now, waiting at the right time would be just fine

“Spaces between the lines”

[photolense]

Regrets

Words that wanted to be told, but can’t spoke it. Truth that was concealed through lying Fears that always climbing through veins

Branches that was cut to hide its real form Creating new phases to deceive one’s eyes Ending its destiny in one snap

Decisions that wanted to be reversed Turn back things where it started Manipulate it in rightful manner with truths and sacrifices

But chances turned into wastes Chances of being free and happy Nothing will be given except REGRETS
