✒ 020. Unsaid Feelings

Words unspoken, thoughts untold,

A story left un-written, yet to be told.

Unsaid feelings, oh how they weigh,

Heavy on my heart day by day.

Emotions bottled up, a silent scream,

A soul that yearns to be seen,

A heart that aches, a mind that races,

All hidden behind smiling faces.

Perhaps the weight would lift away,

And we could finally seize the day.

But what if we took the chance,

And let our true feelings dance?

[tinta-poetica]

✒ 019. Lost and Alone

My heart aches with a pain so true,

For love unreturned, nothing to do,

Feeling lost and alone, filled with despair,

In love with someone who just doesn't care.

[tinta-poetica]

✒ 018. Pahina

Pahina ang bumabalot,

Sa puso kong may kirot,

Paulit-ulit mang itago,

Damdamin sayo'y di nagbabago.

[tinta-poetica]

✒ 017. Salita

Bituin at kalangitan ang saksi,

Ang damdamin ko sayo'y may pagtingin.

Mga salitang gusto kong sabihin,

Sana'y bigyan mo ng pansin.

✒ 016. One Sided Love

One side love is like an empty void,

A longing for something you can't avoid.

It's sadness that fades away,

And it leaves you a feeling of dismay.

One sided love is like an unrequited dream,

A hope that will never be seen.

It's longing for something you never once had,

Leaving you to feel bad.

[tinta-poetica]

✒ 015. Healing

In the quiet of the night,

I find myself thinking of you,

Of all the things we shared,

Now fading like a distant hue.

The pain of a broken heart,

Felt like an endless abyss,

Yet I dared to take a chance,

To love again, to reminisce.

Slowly but surely, I realized,

That healing takes time,

And it's okay to take it easy,

To step back and unwind.

Crying out the pain,

Unleashing the fears,

Helps me move on for good,

And wipe away the tears.

So I take a deep breath,

And let go of the past,

I look forward with optimism,

For a bright future to last.

The journey may still be long,

But the light shines above,

I'm ready to face the world,

With a newfound sense of love.

✒ 014. My Heart Belongs To Me

In the silence of my mind,

I heard a voice that's hard to find,

Whispering the words that set me free,

Saying, "Love yourself, before loving me."

I realized then, that all along,

I've been searching for someone strong,

To fill the void I cannot see,

But it was always meant to be me.

With every tear and every pain,

I learned to stand and rise again,

To see the beauty within me,

To embrace my flaws and defy the pity.

Today, I stand victorious and bold,

My heart no longer feels so cold,

For I am whole and complete,

Loving myself from head to feet.

And though the journey was quite a feat,

I'm grateful now for the image I meet,

A confident and empowered me,

Ready for all life has to be.

✒ 013. Months

Ten months was what it took,

For Fidel to realize he had that look,

The one that Stella had seen all those years,

They flew by in laughter, and in tears.

Ten months it took,

For Fidel to find him as the book,

That Stella had seen beyond the lines,

Where his heart could sing and shine.

Months and years of hesitation,

But love has no obligation,

It waits for no one, it just happens,

Like a storm that leaves you in awe and peace.

So let us learn from Fidel and Stella,

That love is worth the wait,

That it is never too late to write,

100 tula for love, in life.

✒ 012. A New Day

As the sun rises in the east,

Birds chirp and sing in their nest.

The sky turns a warm shade of pink,

I take a deep breath, feeling in sync.

The world is quiet and serene,

As if the earth has hit a pause, in between.

The air is fresh and cool, 

And everything seems to follow the rule.

The sunbeams dance on the dewdrops,

And everything seems to be on top.

The flowers, they bloom with grace,

As the sun continues at its steady pace.

It's a brand new day, full of possibilities,

And the sun gives us all new opportunities.

So let's embrace it all with a smile,

As the sun rises, mile by mile.

[tinta-poetica]

✒ 011. Stronger

I look at you, and my world stops,

Like the sun that sets at the end of the day.

My love for you, with every beat of my heart,

Grows stronger, and it never fades away.

✒ 010. Unreturned Love: My 100 Poems

In every word I wrote,

A love so strong and true.

But still, I had to cope,

With feelings I can't pursue.

I poured my heart in verse,

A hundred times for you.

But love was but a curse,

That only brought me blue.

Though hope is all but lost,

My heart keeps beating fast.

For every line embossed,

Love will forever last.

So let these 100 poem,

Be my love that's unreturned.

For my heart, in you, has found its home,

But perhaps, it's not yet our turn.

✒ 009. Kung puwede na, puwede pa ba?

Mahal kita, matagal na.

Ngunit masyado akong umasa at naniwala sa tadhana;

Mga damdaming matagal kong ikinubli,

Sapagkat inakala kong nariyan ka palagi sa aking tabi.

Ika'y aking nilisan;

Sa pagaakalang sa aking pagbalik,

Umaasang ako sasalubungin ng iyong matamis na halik.

Hindi ko inakalang ang aking pagbalik ay iyong paglisan.

Tadhana na pala ang pipigil sa ating dalawa,

Ngunit kung ikaw ang aking tatanungin,

Kung damdamin natin ang ating susundin,

Kung puwede na, puwede pa ba?

✒ 008. Stratosphere

The way he talks, the way he sings, gave me up these wings to hear his tunings.

From the stratosphere to the ground,

I know my love for you will always abound.

[tinta-poetica]

✒ 007. Escort

And how many men can inspire a forlorn woman to bear in his bosom the radiance of his deft portrait?

To me, you are the only one…

[tinta-poetica]

✒ 006. Imperfection

I believe there's a perfect person.

Because, my eyes have seen you, my ears have heard you, and in my life, I've been with you.

You are divine!

[tinta-poetica]

✒ 005. Sol

Panahon ng tag-araw,

Ngunit ako'y giniginaw.

Sa paglapit mo sa aking pananaw,

Ang kaba ko'y sumisigaw.

Hindi wari'y ang iyong pagpapatawad,

Sa kasalanang pagiging huwad.

Ginamit ang munting kabutihan,

Sa mga bagay na 'di makatwiran.

[tinta-poetica]

✒ 004. Pipiliin

Hindi ako naniniwala sa tadhana,

Na ikaw at ako sana.

Dahil naniniwala ako na ako'y pinili mo,

Ngunit iba ang pinili ko.
