afterdaydreams

A couple of nights ago,

From a long and dusky slumber,

A strangely funny dream appeared,

It was your old man.

He gave me his old toothbrush,

One with a round handle,

Wrapped in a yellow rubber grip,

Having old white bristles that is slightly bent.

Without any hesitation,

I accepted it with a smile on my face,

He tapped my shoulder and gave me a smile,

The dream ends.

Wondering what could it mean,

I told you about the dream,

I was surprised on what you told me,

You’ve always used a yellow toothbrush since you were a kid.

Strange and funny,

A yellow toothbrush dream.

Nabubulag, nasisilaw

Sa mga kislap at liwanag na nakikita

Natatabunan ang paningin

Natutulala sa hangin

Nayayamot, nabubugnot

Sa walang tiyak na kadahilanan

Nabubwisit, nauulol

Tuloy tuloy lang sa pagalulong

Bahala ka, bahala siya

Putangina! Bakit pa?

Walang makapagpahinahon sa galit na naghihimagsik

Pero teka, ano ba ang naidudulot at nadarama?

Nauubos, nauupos

Mabaho, nakakapaso

Parang yosi, hinihithit kahit

Walang tulong na nadadala

Naalala ko nung huli tayong magpiling,

Nakasimangot at di mainpinta ang mga mukha,

Tila mga batang di magkasundo at nagaagawan sa kendi.

Ngunit makaraan ang ilang sandali at hanggang sa huli,

Magkahawak ang mga kamay, magkayakap buong gabi.

Oh kay tayog na ng iyong lipad,

Sa bawat kumpas ng iyong mga pakpak,

Tumatagos ang liwanag ng mga bitwin.

Sadyang kay sarap mong pagmasdan,

Kung maaari lamang na hindi matapos yung gabi.

Bakit ba hindi ka man lang nagparamdam?

O kaya’y bumulong man lang sa hangin.

Nabura na ba sa alapaap ang nakaraan?

Parang kailan lang ng muli tayong lumulutang himpapawid.

Marahil may pansamantala lang ang ligayang naihatid.

Kamusta dyan sa langit?

Kay ganda ng iyong ngiti. Alam kong di maihahalintulad,

Ang ligaya na ngayon ay iyong nadarama.

Ngunit sana minsan ay iyong maalala,

Mga nagdaang araw na ika’y napangiti, kahit wala tayo sa langit.

He is poisoned with fear,

Filled with broken hopes and dreams.

Shattering his heart, Bleeding with tears,

Is he being fooled with this thing we call love?

He can hardly breathe without her by his side,

Suffocated with emptiness inside.

There is nothing that he can hide,

Sadness is his only friend throughout the night.

She is his oxygen,

She keeps him alive.

But as time goes by, it is painfully depleting.

A regular in the infirmary.

He is as stubborn as a mule,

He knows what is inside his heart.

He would not stop.

Too bad, he won’t survive.

Tears kept falling down my face.

Liquors are drenching my throat.

Pain keeps running through my veins.

And now, I am barely breathing.

I’m half-dead.

I’ve never been to Disneyland,

Never been to Paris and the Eiffel tower,

Never been to Athens’ City of Gods.

Never been to places I dream to be,

But in your arms I feel the warm welcome,

And now I dont give a damn how hard things become.

When you are there my misery is gone,

And no matter where I go,

I’ll always find my way back in your arms,

Where I always feel the warm welcome.

Everything is well now. The storm have already passed. I hope there wouldn’t be another storm, for now. Let’s just cuddle up under the sheets and rest.

thunderpopcola:

I don’t know why two people who are made perfectly for each other can’t just stay together. 

Everybody ends up getting hurt or leaving one another. It makes me lose faith in ‘real love’ and it makes me realize that it might not exist and you just have to settle for less.  

Mapaglarong tadhana

Ginugulo ang aking isip

Pinaglalaruan ang aking nararamdaman

Niloloko ko nga ba ang aking sarili?

Totoo ba?

Tulad ng mga sinasabi ng mga matang nagmamatyag

Isa daw akong hangal

Na pilit naghahabol sa kalawan

Dapat ko nga bang talikuran na ang nakaraan?

Dapat na nga bang kalimutan ang mga alaala?

Sa bawat gabi

Luha at hinagpis ang tanging bitbit

Ako nga ba’y bulag?

O nagbubulagbulagan lang

Sadyang kay hapdi

Ngunit kelan ma’y di magagawang bumitaw

Mapaglarong tadhana

Pampagulo ng isip

Tila pinapatay sa sakit na nararamdaman
