* Introduksiyon: Portfolio sa Filipino IV*

Sa pintuang nagbubukas sa walang hanggan
Matatagpuan ang kayamanan ng nakaraan
Liwanag na sisilay mula sa karimlan
Patungo sa kaibuturan ng inyong kaisipan

Sining na nahango mula sa imahinasyon
Ng mga manunulat na namulat sa kahapon
Layuning maiparating sa kabataan ng panahon
Iba't ibang istorya, iba't ibang leksiyon.

Nagsisimula na ng inyong ekspidisyon sa mundo
Kung saan ang mga kwento't tula'y hango
Sa mga pangyayaring tunay at totoo.
Sa lugar na walang oras dadalhin kayo...

Bukang Liwayway

Sa pagsilaw ng liwanag sa'king mata
ay muling dumalaw ang mga gunita.
Masaya. Masakit. Ngunit puno ng laya
hamog ay pumatak sa dahong aplaya.

Sumalubong ingay ng bagong umaga;
Ngunit ang himig sa'king puso'y lipas na.
nais mahabol kahit magka-ugaga
pero sadyang kayhirap abutin na--

Puno'y nagkakatanhan, nagkukwentuhan,
Gusto kong tumakas at sadyang lumisan.
Puntahan siayang inosente at walang muwang.
Siyang nagbigay ligayang walang katuwang.

Ngunit sa pagmulat ng mga talukap,
Aking nabatid at pilit na tinanggap
siya'y parte na lang ng kahapong namatay
nagpaalam sabay ng bukang liwayway.

The Make Believe You

When I saw you through the crowd
You were standing so smart and proud
Smiling sweetly as the breeze caressed you softly
Greetings flowing from your lips so swiftly.

But when I looked through your eyes,
i saw a different story that cleared all dyes.
You're heart was breaking, and I couldn't do a thing.
A rope of sorrow was wounded over you, and I couldn't pull a string.

i suddenly felt that your easy smiles were forced
Your cheerful greetings gnawing you with remorse
shadowed though your eyes were,
They were crying--filling the seashore.

then i suddenly came to a thought;
How easy people could be blinded like a goat,
Succumbing to an act without knowing they did so.
Leaving you abandoned and careful not to let them know
What I saw.

GASERA

Nang ako'y magmulat ng mata,
Mula sa aking pagkakahimbing
Wala akong matanaw o maaninag man lang
Balot ng kadiliman, wala akong magawa--

Sa aking isipan, alam kong umaga na
ngunit bakit ni munting ilaw walang lumitaw?
natatakot ako--nanghihina--ngunit walang magawa
O muniting ilaw--kailangan ko ng iyong irog--

Kailangan ko ng ilaw ng kahapong 'di ko na mahawakan sa aking isipan--
Ibig ko'y kaliwanagang 'di ko maabot
Kaliwanagang tulad ng gasera na kailangan ko ngayon--
Kahit isang munting tilamsik ng ilaw.

Mula sa gasera ng aking kaliwanagan
Mula sa kahapong ipinagdamot sa akin ng kapalaran
Kapalarang walang kasing saklap.

Halika o halika huwag mong ipagkait
Gasera na aking tanging tanaw sa hinaharap.
Ang tanging bagay na magbubukas ng pinto
Gasera na nagsisilbing alaala ko sa kahapon.

Nobody is in Love

(22 August 2004)

Haply I wonder how impressive you are.

You amazed me like no other can do.

Bewitched by your charms that I can only see from afar

No one can wonder how much of my heart I gave to you.

Loving you is like killing myself softly time by time

Everytime I look at you, my feet dig deeper into the ground

I don't know how, but benignly I enjoy the chime

Whose mellow music I hear when I see you from the crowd.

Never have I hope that you'll ever care to know me

But maybe I dream of it once or twice every night.

It's hard to wake when you know it will hurt thee

'Cause you gave your heart to a man whose away from sight.

Painfully I remind myself everyday,

A nobody can never play a part on a star's heart.

You can dream maybe, it's free anyway

But a dream is just a dream as well as truth really do hurt.

The Soul of a Battered Heart

(04 August 2004)

Once, I dreamed of being as powerful as an eagle;
As brave and persistent as a lion
But now, all of it was shattered
Embedded in the darkest part of my life
Battering my willow heart with every piece.

I can't stop my damsel heart from shivering
Crying all its pain and suffering
Reflecting every gloomy part of my heart
Revealing the loneliness stocked inside
I tried to hide it, but I just can't stop.

Now I know that I can never be strong enough
'Cause I know my soul is just too ashamed
To show in front of everyone.
Afraid that I might be hurt one more time
That will lead to the death of my time.

chains

Don't make me fall in love with you

more than I am now...

There is darkness inside my heart

that might break it;

then it will never lasts

the way you meant it..


Let me cry with blood

for the chains you're loving me

with is fighting my heart...
