Batch song for UP Haring Ibon Batch 2007-A

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

listen to the sound of the wind
lighten the scares of your mind
if your strength seems thinned
a friend in  me you will find

voices come from trees
hear them and free your worries
as shadows dust the fallen pine
just know that everything will be fine


chorus:
ill be here for you my friend
when the light falls to an end
we’ll seek hope from fallen leaves
we’ll speak of life and all that grieves


the moon glows, emanating light
growing deeper into the night
most of us dream of a perfect world
of lapping waves and life impearled

and as the sun comes into the day
problems will come creeping in
don’t fall into deep dismay
you have me here to take you away

<repeat chorus>

~and even if the rain will fall
i’ll still be here
the trees stand tall

~and even if the rain will fall
i’ll still be here
we’ll stand through it all


<repeat chorus>

…gosh guys kayo na gumawa ng melody dahil lyrics lang ang kaya kong gawin wahehe.. -mel

my mask

it was then
i seized to exist
one mystical moment
time had stopped.
by every chance
i could run away
i dare not..
she had me
captivated–
imprisoned–
by her eyes.
by her smile.
by that gaze she gave.
she stole me.
it was then
i knew i wanted
her innocence
to slay it not..
i have lost
with no power
no will..
i feared her strength–
yet envied it
she had a place in my sky
i surrender–
my shining star
you always had me.
so i..
surrender…

“palengke”

bahay na bato
sa biak na bato
nakapulot ako ng piso.

pobreng galante
bayad muna bago baba
baka ka madapa.

maka puno, uhaw na uhaw
pagdating ay di maubos.
natawa ang bastos.

‘gitarang maliit lang ale,
di kasya ang kandila.’
sunog ay nakakasawa.

basta’t may usok pa..
basta’t kulay pula
mayroon pang ligaya..

maliit na pamaypay
nauubos ang pasensiya
kulang na ang aking pera

gulay gulay
para sa patay
piso’y di sapat

alas ocho na
tangena–
tara’t makauwi na

palengke, palengke
isang kanto sa tabi
wala nakong masabi.

poetic justice

my arm is falling off–
but it’s okay..
the wind is here
and the footsteps,
they’re almost gone.
