Diyos nawa

Diyos nawa
(Taken from: God knows by Aya Hirano)

I
Ako'y tumatakbo
nauuhaw ang aking puso
Paumanhin,
wala akong magawa

II
Hindi mo man lang
Ako pinapayagan na
Makihati
sa iyong mga pighati

Refrain I
Ang mabuhay
ng walang bahid ng lumbay
Kaharap ko ang iyong likod
Ako ay paalis
Sa malungkot na riles

Chorus I
Ako ay susunod sa iyo at
Kahit na gaano
kahirap ang mundong ito alam ko
ikaw ay kikislap kahit sa madilim na sulok
Patungo sa kinabukasan
Ang aking kahinaan
Ay di hihila sa akin pababa
Ang ating landas ay iisa lamang
Sa'ting dalawa,
Diyos nawa

III
Ang pag-ibig
na sakin ay iyong hinatid
ay nagbago
sa aking paniniwala

IV
Di ko kailangan ng
Rason para ika'y makita
Pagsuyo ko lang na
Umaapaw para sa iyo

Refrain II
tayo'y gumuhit
ng isang magandang panaginip
at maghabulan pa
para sa iyong puso na malumbay

Chorus II
Tumigil ka sa iyong mga
pagsisinungaling at
pagusapan natin ang ating kinabukasan
Ako ay handa kahit na
ang bukas nati'y mabalakid
kaya natin na labanan ang ating tadhana
pag ako ay lumakas
para matupad ang ating hiling,
ang lahat ay
Diyos nawa

Bridge
Ikaw ay nandito
Ako ay nandito
at ang paligid ay walang katao-tao
At habang atin na
pinipinta ang marikit na panaginip
Guhit din ang mga pantal

Chorus III
Dahil doon
Ako ay susunod sa iyo at
Kahit na gaano
kahirap ang mundong ito alam ko
ikaw ay kikislap kahit sa madilim na sulok
Patungo sa kinabukasan
Ang aking kahinaan
Ay di hihila sa akin pababa
Ang ating landas ay iisa lamang
Sa'ting dalawa,
Diyos nawa

Uh

What does a person type
in 2 in the morning?
Surely, it isn't hype
Surely, it ain't nothing
But I'm sure it made sense
to the one who's writing
So in people's defense
I'm gonna be doing
something I don't know yet.
Damn.

a poem

I thought of a poem

along the way home

but i didn't have anything
to write the words on.

So when I jumped off the jeep,
I ran along the streets
hurriedly towards home sweet home

When I got home, finally
I zoomed to my room quickly
Looking for a pen and paper
while I still remember
these words that I have strewn.

The moment I found the scribes
I started losing my vibes
One by one, each word fell
into the deep obscurity's well.
And so let this confession
be a well remembered lesson
saying you must always prepare,
always bring a pen and paper.

1:11 AM

As I peer outside my bedroom window,
I feel the evening's breath embracing my face.
The absence of crickets fills the breeze with
whispers; knells of the unheard cries of the land.
As I take a sip inside my coffee cup,
I feel the caffeine's breath embracing my face.
The absence of sugar fills my blood with
needles; knells of the unheard cries of my body.

For Irene

I can clearly see the evening heavens,
the countless stars that twinkle,
swimming in a stream of velvet,
and the bejeweled pendant of light
hanging proudly in the center.
One day I would gather them all for you,
so that when my hands will again touch yours,
we will be embraced by the warmest of lights.

sunday afternoon

my electric fan is an orchestra
and my room is an opera house
the midday sun is the lighting
and the warm breeze sets the mood
their performance leaves me unable
to speak in a lively tone
for i am amazed at the perfect blend
of sounds, lights, and touch
that can lull even the most caffeinated man
without ever doing so much

Hikab

I stare into a glass of water
and watch the ripples begin to fade.
It made me think of something better.
But I think I forgot, I'm afraid.
Because these thoughts dissolve into
an endless pit of whimsical goo,
I craft a wall of text which a few
of the ideas inside I threw.
