Too Blind To See


I was too blind to see
Of the love you gave to me
I never gave any attention to it
Now I'm full of regrets with all of it

But what you really don't know
Is that deep inside I love you so
I just can't reveal all of my feelings
'Coz I don't wanna be hurt if in time,
You'll be leaving

Though we're not so close together
Bear in mind that I'll never forget you ever
No one really knows, except me, and me alone
That, what's in my heart is you all along

I really do wanna be with you
But my parents won't allow it, so
I'm keeping my distance from you
To avoid any further mis-do

But right now, I'm starting to feel
That little by little we're slowly drifting
And this, I can never allow, even just a little
For what I want is for us to be back nearer

And that's what I'm trying to do this time
Trying to fix what we had the last time
Our closeness that you and I shared before
That no one else knows except you, me
And the Heavenly Lord…

impromptu poem about food...my hobby

should i or should i not...
take chocolate with this cup.
food is my comfort, food is my life...
dang, these hershey's puts me on a high...
so now i suffer, now i gloat...
would you like fries with you coke float?

here's another one of mine.
kanang bata pa ko ani..

silver man on a silver chariot

a chivalric gentleman stands erect and dean beneath mine rose balcony
folding neatly betwixt his lever his gryffin cape of sunset and ivory
looking beyond space and time, his naive iris fixed on mine bosom
the visible and tangible edifice of mine love nestled in the abyss bottom

o, thy paladin who rideth with the zephyr and races with the sun
how i longeth for your palm on which i cast my pale face upon
how i wished for cruel venus to intoxicate you with my mystique
on which upon father jupiter's thunder, i reflect upon my mistake

how i yearn to run bare to thee and bear all my fruits
and see thee too surrener thy ferric spear and kneel to mine roots
but nay, this night, i cannot be for it is unwomanly
for mine reason i was cradled beressed with sashes of royalty

mine gullible heart laments, the lark's alto cannot melt my ennui
how i reback mine chambers of daffodils, of cupid, of sweet "oui!"
you, sitting supine supported by the love bed of venus and mars
while i lie on heaven's wings with thine bosom to the envy of the hours

my gentleman, whom i hailed mine before, i cannot love thee now
for the fates have decreed so i must and thee must bow
for this woul be our farewell to the gay yesterdays
for htee have sayeth "i did" to a dame heart truly lays

THE NIGHT I FELL FOR YOU

The night I fell in love with you
was the most alluring and exotic
your eyes that showed me your world
your lips that said only the sweetest of words
those arms that can warm the coldness of winter
words that gives tranquility of the night
that was the day you love me

a year has passed and I’ve been restrained
from your comfort and time
you stripped me from your passion
dragged me to the world unknown
loosing my sanity to oblivion
what happened to the day when you love me?

I was waiting in darkness for my deliverer
bare and deluded, awaiting you still
how much more do I need to be tormented?
how much more can I endure?
I was waiting for the sound of your voice that can drown a banshee's wail ;
arms that can break Medusa's glare ; 

yet I've been abandoned
devoured by your pride I suffered
the night is closing in on me
tears that flowed from these eyes are red
deserted… forgotten… neglected 
I walked to the end of the world
bound with shame and anger
walked straight to the night never ending
I smiled as I felt the rock hit my head, reaching the bottom of the pit
finally freed from distress and suffering
I recalled the day that you love me as my life slowly slipped away…

“BANTAWAN SA BATHALAD” features Poet Gerard Pareja

A little less than three years ago, a band of wordsmiths, verse-fiends and storytellers found this nook of a place called Kahayag Café. They found it suitable conversation, the sharing of dribbles and oodles of words that poured forth from random musings and politically incorrect conjecture. Thus, was born, “Bantawan sa Bathalad.” read more > http://tabulas.com/~artcebu
