Beautiful

he

keeps all
things
beautiful,

beautiful,

beautiful.

then he
keeps all
to himself.

this is beautiful...

beautiful,

beautiful.

Bintana at Salamin

Sa harap ko: ikaw.
tumatagos ang titig, lumalamig ang tingin.
Ano ba ang alam mo?
Mga gusali, ang buwan at ilaw:
puro salita, purong diwa ay hangin.
Ano ba ako?

Tatayo, maglalakad, maninigarilyo.
Susulyap sa aking kaibigan:
Papatak na ba?
Hindi mapakali, napapakamot sa ulo.
Titigil... at isang palaisipan:
May luha na?

Sa harap ko: ikaw.
Sumisigaw ang pipi pero tikom ang labi.
Umiiyak ang mga matang nagyeyelo sa manhid...
Sa bintana. Sa bintanang salamin.

G Minor

Take me away as I cannot think. I strum our guitar and the tune feels right. The strings, how rough they are to my delicate hands, hit me to the core. They have their own sound, the guitar has its own music.

Come here. Let me hear you. Sing. Sing. Sing.

G minor... I cannot even play you.

Sometimes
it is useless
to feel when
you can't see
a touch
nor rubbish
to hear when all that
matters is
smelling your
taste.

Precious

trivial
nonsense
selfish
i
love
you
and secretly,
i
own
you.

You Understand

the statement
the rules
my words
i defy...
only because
of a sparkle in
your far away
sky
only because your
voice resembles
that phenomenal
symphony
[with]
every norm
i break
i cry just so
you know my covenant
does not die
just so
you discern
my mouth
my tongue
don't lie
when i play
i don't lose the game
when i
don't
i win my man.

How You Make Me

Your love makes me cry
just as [how] lovely
you make me come
your cheeks are as rosy
as your words
sugary sweet, juicy,
palatable
Oh boy, come...
come to me because i will
make you.
