Kawangis....

Kawangis ng ulan...
Bumuhos ng malakas
Sa araw na nagsimulang kayganda ng sikat ng araw.

Kawangis ng hangin
Dumampi sa aking pisngi
Tumuyo sa pawis at nag-alis sa init ng panahon.

Kawangis ng ulap
Nagbabago ng anyo
Lumilipas habang tumatagal.

Lahat ng mga ito ay katulad mo...
Biglang dumating....kaybilis ring naglaho.

A painting of bittersweet passion...

Paintbrush in hand...
I tried a few light strokes
then harder as my tears fell.
As my vision grew blurry,
the paintbrush, as though commanded by hurt
started drawing lines, circles...unclear figures.

This is how i feel
Unclear, no direction and my feelings driven by anger
Like the hard strokes of the paintbrush
My heart continued to feel the hurt.

I wanted to run away
But I always go back to where I started.
I felt a mix of "didn't want to" but "can't let go" emotions
Everything about you did that to me.

As I let the painting dry,
I can see a picture of clear bittersweet passion
Flowing beyond the corners of the frame
Hurting me as I see reality in front of me.
