Musings: Tagalog Poems

Been trying to write Tagalog poems. Started to write last June 5. Not good at it, be it Tagalog or English, but at least I am trying. Most of them are unfinished or a stanza or two of expressions or musings and all are untitled. Some words are being repeated obviously.

*Una

Halos kalahating araw na pala
Nasayang sa katitingala
Sa kisameng wala kang mapapala
Bangon na, kumilos at humayo
Luhang papatak ay kusang matutuyo

*Pangalawa

Ilang libong segundo,
Naubos kada minuto
Pinagmasdan ang iyong litrato
Anong napala? Pagkasiphayo

*Pangatlo

Isang gabi na naman ang nagdaan
Puso at isip ay muling nagdigmaan
Isang araw na naman ang lumipas
Damdami'y hindi pa rin kumukupas.

*Pang-apat

Ano nga ba ang mas masaya?
Ano nga ba ang mas masakit?
Puso na minsan lang umawit
O magising sa maling inakala?

Ilang taon na rin ang lumipas
Hinayaan na rin na kumupas
Pagibig sa puso ay nawala
Nilimot at ipinagwalang-bahala

*Panglima

Isang araw na naman ang lumipas
Pagibig ay di pa rin kumukupas
Paggising bukas muling iisipin
Kung paglimot ay kaya ng kamtin.

*Pang-anim

Sa dilim ng gabi, naghihintay ng sandali
Sa tabi ng bintana ay nananatili
Nakadungaw at tahimik na nagmamasid
Pagaspas ng dahon, hangin ay walang patid

Sa dilim ng gabi, katahimikan ay nananaig
Wala ni isang ingay akong naririnig
Sa kabilang bakod tila ay payapa
Pagod na katawan ay kanilang inihilata

Sa dilim ng gabi, walang ibang naririnig
Kundi ang tanging ingay ng aking isipan
Humihina, lumalakas ang nakakalitong tinig
Katahimikan ng gabi ay winawakasan

Welcome Back!

It's been years since I have left this blog to rot and for that, I am sorry.

I am intending to keep the promise of going back to writing. I know it has been a bad habit to write whenever I feel bad. Another thing to be sorry about. Will make sure to at least write an item or two each month. I will resurrect the other two too. 

Moving On, Seriously

Just an Instagram post but it means a lot, speaks a lot. All I need to see is one IG post and that's it. 

I've been struggling lately, since I have confirmed that I do have 'feelings' for you. It was never easy controlling the emotion -- because I am not used to it. But because our friendship is far more important than how I feel, I tried my very best to have it under control. If you were just another guy, I don't care if you would know how I feel. 

So, as I was saying, all I need to see is that one post from your Instagram page. That says a lot about what I need to do. Well, I do know what to do from the beginning, it's just that I am refusing to do so because of this 'feelings' that I have for you. I wish you well -- again, cliche as I always tell all of you this. I want you to be truly happy because you deserve it. 

Yes, this might be the last that I will write about you here and talk about how I fell for you. I hope that the next time I would write about you is because we, as a group, traveled somewhere or went out. 

Thank you, you were the reason why I find it easy to smile during those days. I wish to still see that reason and I hope that you can still make me smile -- well, you still do. Thank you and see you around.
