Buhay Barista..

Ang buhay barista
kay sarap, kay hirap..
kahit mabaon sa trabaho..
hindi pa rin maalis..

ang ngiti sa aking mukha..

minsa'y inisip na sana simple ang buhay..

magsilbing maliit na bahagi ng isang lugar..
upang di na maguluhan di na masaktan..
ngunit di mapipigil ang dugong palaban..

O kay saya ng aking nilagi..

noong ako'y kabilang at kasapi..

nung una'y kathang di matapos..

ngayon ang masasabi ay di maubos..

hindi mawawala ang markang iniwan..

at ang mga taong kinagisnan..

sana'y maranasan muli..

bago dumating ang huling sandali..

o kay saya buhay barista

bangon! labas! halika!

sa amoy ng kape ay gumising!

ang nalalabing panahon lubusin!

sapagkat di alam kung kailan mawawala..

hahanap hanapin ang buhay barista..

paalam..

Detach my strings..

Detach my strings..

My silver linings..

not to release..

only to loosen..

to have a chance at something big..

to lay a foundation for my lost tree..

to challenge an unwilling soul..

as i walk forward ready as can be..

kudos my love for severing..

inescapable ties oh so painfully..

readying my weary self..

preparing for my becoming..

I look forward until I am bound again..

catch you later my silver linings..

The Woman..

the one the only..

a cut above the rest..

the fountainhead..

my woman, THE woman..

my source of origin..

my source of light..

my lifeblood..

my angel, THE woman..

so far away,

but to be reunited..

soon i hope..

unbind her i will..

from the pressures of life..

to be with us again..

together again with..

THE woman..

Green Eyed Monster..

a look, a stare, a gaze ice cold..

but bursting with ember jealousy..

as shadows pass by, none escape..

the glare of the green eyed monster..

possessed my young lass it seems..

unable to unbind.. unhook the latches..

an unwilling prey, no escape

from the green eyed monster..

try as i might i cannot slay..

accept and love, to trickle softly..

and cut the horns eventually..

my green eyed monster..

Lost soul..

I'm a lost soul wandering..

searching for purpose and meaning..

walking in the crowd feeling empty..

just what is out there for me?.

dazed and confused, wondering..

of buts and ifs never really trying..

just stagnant in the midst of it all..

to watch other souls just rise and fall..

walking in solace in between..

everything that stands, remembering..

what once was and pondering of what will be..

as i lay down and close the coffin door..

and as i wake wash rinse repeat once more..

New eyes..

New sight bestowed as i open up..

everything seemed new, different..

distraught but awake as i tried to shut..

eyes forced open with truth..

pluck them out as i try to digress..

from the awful truth, i try to suppress..

but to no avail as i am forced to embrace..

the inevitable truth in front of me..

accept these eyes and move forward..

to see and look over the horizon..

open wide and absorb.. a whole new world..

awaiting me.. as I look forward, onward..

Wake up call..

End time.. 10months in the making..

A violent shake up! a wake up call..

At long last.. to shed my childhood..

And to move on to greater heights..

An inevitable change i guess..

But well fought none the less..

no time to waste must stand up..

pick up the pace and wipe the tears..

no time to deny no time to fret..

suck it up for those who depend..

accept reality, truth and the end..

of a life that was and walk on..

fold up my sheets, be replaced anew..
