:) ;(

You made me smile :)
I made you cry ;(
We made the mile
to say goodbye

Don't mind me,
Wasn't I the one who wronged?
Are you crazy?
Go off with the one you've longed.

I won't make you happy
I'm not the one for you
You'll only get sick with the stench of my past.
And though it would kill me,
I'm choosing not to stain you
my fragile precious little martini glass

He's smart, You're smart
I'm filthy and you aren't.
If love is based on compatibility
Then you're off to matrimony.

and me?
Huh!
me?!
Huh!

What A Story

I've got a story
'bout this chick in this jeepney .
She was sitting facing me,
With her sun radiant hair
that blows, it flows like she doesn't care.
and then, she paid the fare
said "Morayta po", with exceptional poise
And there, I caught her sweet sweet voice
Pierced through my noise proof earphones
But oh!--Despair! I must have grown.

The chauffeur picked an inanimate character
An Antagonist, In this story of me and her
A story of me, her and him,
Turned to him, her, --and me?!
Prince Charming as what he may seem
But weren't you my destiny
He sat beside her
and suddenly she was his girl
I untangled my tongue
Oh Yes! I did.
But guess he was strong
Guess he didn't have a lid
Guess he practiced more
Guess he saw her before

And There They were,
All acquainted and all.
And here I am in the corner,
Writing 'bout my fall
Writing 'bout my discovery
of a beautiful jeepney journey
Yah! Their Beautiful Love story
Freakin' Love story.

To The Dead People

This piece is dedicated to those who are dead

The one's who fleeted, gone, and departed


To Mr. Apolinario, who for me is our tallest hero

Who stood out with his polio, but now taken granted for.

To Rizal who left us, Noli and El Fili,

You brought to us to freedom and democracy

To Andres Bonifacio who raised his bolo and led,

We love you more now, even though you are dead.


To Ryan Dunn and your jackass antics

To James Dean and your immortal chick flicks

To Elizabeth Taylor, say hi to Michael for me.

Millions more, and to enumerate all would be impossible for me.



To Miss Monroe, who STILL sets the standard of beauty

To Michael who lived his whole life for his artistry,

To Likkle Miss Amy who owned the Grammy,

To Francis M who carved Hip Hop a space in our country,

Thank you for contributing to the music industry

I've always been a fan, and you're passing will never sink in to me.


To JC, but technically you lived again,

To Robert Frost, e.e. cummings and Albert Camus

I will always patronize and honor as I hold my pen

You are my Idols, and models I'll forever look forward to.


To Atty. Ador, the man I'll always adore.

You left me with this life, but you left mom with a strife.

I don't blame you, I can never blame you.

I now If you had choice, you'd pick to be with your lil boys.

I now how much you love us, But now you're there with Jesus.

Thank you for leaving us with great memories,

I'll try my best to follow your tracks.

"To dance with my father" by Luther Vandross

would always be my favorite track.


This piece is dedicated to those who are dead

The one's who fleeted, gone, and departed,

To the people who lived and left,

and to the living, please give some respect.

A Stand

I forgot I knew
How I got to you
I forgot it all
You know, me and you.
Well, you never called
And why should I text you.
And now everything has changed
With wounding words interchanged.
Well you weren't that perfect
As you claim you are.
I'm not the one with the defect.
I just know, We ain't gonna go far
Yeah! We lost that flare
Whut?! I never thought you cared
Well, You were busy
With all your so-called "priorities"
That I never really thought you saw me
and this thing we have that we call WE.
And I've made up my mind
You are no longer mine
and I ain't gonna waste time
Bitter wouldn't be a good rhyme.
I'm choosing where I choose me
And I'm choosing to be free
And if ever in the future you see me
Just see me as another stranger,
And after a few days, a month a year
You wont be remembered,not even close to familiar.

Someone Else

I wont sing you serenades.
I wont buy you flowers.
I wont make you lemonades.
No! I won't be your lover.

I wont lend you my shoulders.
My company wont be served free.
I would never touch you with a finger,
Nor tie a yellow ribbon on that old oak tree.


No! I won't do those stupid things,
Though, I know I've already fallen.
You don't know what future brings,
I know I can't give you heaven.

You're so perfect in so many ways
And to be with me would be such a waste.
You deserve someone with less baggage,
someone with just the right courage.

I want to be your knight in shining armor,
But I'll only give your life an unworthy tremor.
I want to climb for you the tallest stone wall,
But No! I guess I'm not your prince charming after all

I want to give you my lifetime, my forever and ever,
Oh! But I'm just a big stupid elusive dreamer.
I want to offer you my life, my mind, my soul,
But No! I guess I'm not your Mr. Right after all.

Beautiful Girl, Stay away

You brighten my day!
From this awefull gray
to a technicolor fay
What more if you said "Hey!"
Oh! butterflies will go cray-cray
In my belly, they'll go all ways
Guess Santa brought Christmas day
early with my gift in his sleigh
And a cute one, I must say.
Like a pink berry yogurt parfait,
When I'm red, only you propitiate.
Like a big musical play,
maybe gypsy or cabaret,
You also blow my heart away.
But please don't overstay,
Else, I'll look away
Coz you know, I need my right of way
It's just a little crush,more is jeopardy.
We don't want anything close to risqué
Love is not worth the child's play
and pain is not something you would replay.
So please! Please! Stop Brightening my days!
I'm single but yet to be available. Stay away.

Love story of Two Parallel Lines

I was here,

and You were there,

Needed to face my fear,

but I thought you didn't care.

I wanted to profess,

In this very slope where I lie

But the greatest tempest

Is I can't even tap and say Hi

It feels so lame, dunno why?

I know your name, but can't kiss you goodbye

This constant space,

I just can't erase.

Trickier than anything you've seen

and this must sound so obscene.

But how could you possibly meet me,

and finish this --so long journey

of pure and divine chemistry,

In this short but distant love story.

I was here

and you were there

The Night Before

-written on a thursday, the day before friday

Tommorrow I'd see her,

I wish I could see her,

Her with that graceful hair,

Her with that innate glare.

And all you could possibly do is stare.

I'd wish that I'd see her tommorrow,

As I've seen her before.

Then I'd tell her that her beauty overflows,

But then again, what for?

A DAY OF THINKING part 1

The day felt silly,

The night went fine.

Wish that you, be with me,

and your heart, be mine

but I guess it's best,

we give we a rest,

these shenanigans and all

b'coz I know you won't fall.

-AMP-

The Ring

Waiting-- Waiting--

Did it ring?-- nope

Can't believe what I'm doing

I ought to do something

Something to crack this safe

where my heart is in place

and maybe throw it away

or wait til it turns gray.

Hence, a change of heart

though it would tear me apart.

At least no more waiting

for this damn phone to ring.

-AMP-

Impugn who?

Are we an item

or am I a fool?

Thinking we were a tandem

is just breaking all your rules.

What's a partner

If you're only apart

tearin' each other

and trashing hearts.

You say forever

but we remain to suffer.

Babe, are we fakin'

then, let's cut it and get movin'

You said love

what a deadly phrase

more like that jab

the bruises you gave stays

Who's the real culprit

Fate, destiny, or cupid?

Us, meeting, is a horrible mistake

It's painful, bitter and somehow half baked.

Happy Poem

"You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you, Peter Pan. That's where I'll be waiting."

HAPPY THOUGHTS! HAPPY THOUGHT?

I MUST CHANNEL ME SOME HAPPY THOUGHTS.

A HAPPY SONG, I MUST WRITE

BUT HAPPY WORDS, I JUST CAN'T FIND.

EVERYTHING SEEMS TO RHYME WITH PAIN

VAIN, INSANE, AND MEMORY LANE

I WISH ONE DAY I'LL FIND MYSELF

HAPPINESS IN ALL THIS WEALTH;

WEALTH IN CHORES, I HAVE A LOT TO DO,

WEALTH IN SPACE, I'M ALL ALONE IN MOON,

WEALTH IN QUERIES, I HAVE A LOT TO ASK OF YOU,

AND ALL THESE I HOPE BE ANSWERED SOON.

well just look at me!

i've lost my touch

can't you see?

this is all too much.

i've given you my all

but i can never pass a ball to the BALL

YOU are what YOU ask of me

the HAPPINESS that's been missing.

please give a piece back for my memory

for me to finally write a poem that's happy.

The Destined Aces

The game of cards

Must I play?

To the Queen of hearts

I must say

But how many lines

Does a poet have to write?

Just to say

The oldest cliché.

How many chips

Do I have to give?

Give me a tip!

When will you ever forgive?

How many dough

Do I have to bet?

Give me a clue!

When will you ever forget?

She loves me, She loves me not

She loves me, she loves me...

The clover leaf has said it

Therefore, to the couch I must sit.

Why should I let it ruin my mind?

When I know for a fact that you'll never be mine.

Be mine! Be mine!

And Now, to the losing table I must move away from

And the pot, the pot that they will never pocket,

Because I know the aces are engraved in my palm

But for now the game of cards must wait.
