SA AKING PANAGINIP, IKAW AY NAKILALA

Sa pagpikit ng aking mga mata

Ibang mundo ang aking nakita

Para akong nasa isang pantasiya

Na nababalot ng iba't ibang hiwaga

Aking nilibot ang ganda ng mundong ito

Kahanga hanga mga bagay na nakapalibot dito

Mga bagay na makikita mo lang sa imahinasyon mo

Mga bagay na hindi mo makikita sa ating mundo

Aking mga mata'y nagmamasid

Dahil sa sobrang tahimik nitong paligid

Nang makita ikaw sa isang gilid

Nakatayo na tila may malalim na iniisip

Ako sana'y lalapit sayo, ngunit bigla kang lumingon sa direksiyon ko

Mga mata mong mapupungay ay nakatingin sa mga mata ko

Lungkot, saya at pighati nababasa ko dito

Habang mga paa mo'y humahakbang patungo sa kinatatayuan ko

Ako ay unti unti ding lumapit sayo

Pinagmamasdan ang ganda ng mukha mo

Hindi ko alam kong bakit ganito yong pakiramdam ko

Pakiramdam na parang ikaw ay kilala ko

Sa aking paglapit sa tabi mo

Mga luha'y unti unting dumadaloy sa mga mata ko

Inaalala kong sino ka ba sa buhay ko

Bakit ako ay nasasabik sa pagdating mo?

Iyong hinawakan ang mga pisngi ko

Mga mata mong parang nangungulila sa pagkawala ko

Ramdam ko ang pagmamahal mo

Ramdam ko din ang pagmamahal ko sayo

Dapat ay ibubuka mo na ang mga labi mo

Naghihintay sa mga salitang sasambitin mo

Nang magising akong may luha sa mga mata ko

Nalamang panaginip lang pala ito

Ngunit bakit yong kirot saking dibdib ay nanatili dito?

Bakit parang sinasabi na totoo lahat ng nangyari sa panaginip ko?

Na talagang may ikaw at ako na nagmamahalan dito sa mundo

O sadyang hangal lang ang puso ko na makaramdam ng totoong pag-ibig sa ibang tao

Hindi ko man alam ang dahilan sa mga nangyayaring ito

Basta ang alam ko nakita ko ang mga mukha mo

Mga mata mong galak ng makita din ako

Na kahit minsan sa buhay ko kahit sa panaginip lang ikaw ay nakilala ko

MY FAMILY, MY STRENGTH

I know it's hard to live a life you wanted

There's always challenges that takes you away

Make you feel useless and unwanted

Make you feel worthless all through out the day

But there's always light in the dark

That  will shine in our lifeless night

Give us the sparkling light

To give us hope every time

Me? My source of my strength are my family

My Mom and Dad whose always smile brightly 

My Tito's and Tita's whose support me mentally 

And my Lolo's and Lola's whose give me the sign of being worthy

I may be a hardheaded daughter

A hardheaded niece 

A rugged sister and cousin 

But i honestly love them all

I am proud to be part of this Family

Not perfect but a loving and caring family

A supported family i must say

A family that will not leave your side forever

- Lia

YOU

I've been down in the dumps

But you picked me up.

You showed me life

And how I should

Get on with it.

You handled me with care

Like a precious jewel.

Your sweet nothings

Always make me smile.

Your jokes that though corny

Makes me laugh out loud

And somehow roll on the floor.

Your voice..oh it calms me

In moments of melancholy.

The tears you've had

When we had fights,

I wanted to kiss them

Off your face.

Your cheeks that, surely,

Goes red whenever I give you

A kiss or a hug.

Oh those moments...

I always want to cherish

And do everyday with you.

Oh, sweetheart.

You certainly are amazing.

You taught me things

I was afraid of back then.

You taught me to trust,

Care and understand,

Listen and smile,

But mostly, love.

If this poem reaches you

I'm sure you'll be crying

But please, smile

For you are

The most wonderful human

God gave to me.

MISSING YOU, MY LOLA

Every time I'm alone

You're face is always to show

How i miss the big smile of yours

And laughter that i want to keep

We used to love flowers

Gardening the side of our home

Playing games that not usually do by others

But the happiness of us still overflow

Those memories i want to keep

Like how much i want you to stay with me

Even though you're not here anymore

Still i can keep you in my heart

Those memories i shared with you is really precious

God knows how i miss you

How much i want to hug and kiss you

How much i want to be with you

You are my strength and source of happiness

I know it's been a long time since you left

But still i can't stop myself thinking of you

Can't stop myself from missing you

I know you're fine there

Happy and contented besides Him

I know you're watching us from above

And i only want you to know that i love you, My Lola

WAG AKO!

Wag ako, wag ako ang pagtripan mo

Wag ako ang lokohin mo

Wag ako na inaalala lagi kalagayan mo

Wag ako na laging hangad kasiyahan mo

Alam mo na ang puso ko ay tumitibok sayo

Ngunit bakit ang lakas ng loob mong magsabing mahal mo ako?

Mahal mo ako, yun ang sabi mo ngunit hindi naman pala totoo

Sabi mo sinubukan mo lang talaga kong may pagtingin ako sayo

Kahit alam ko na, bat parang ang sakit padin?

Bakit parang hindi ko padin tanggap?

Ganyan nalang ba ang turing mo sakin?

Ang pagtripan ako sa oras na wala ka ng magawa sa buhay mo

Kaya sinasabi ko sayo, sana naman wag ako

Wag ako, isipin mo man lang nararamdaman ko

Isipin mo din naman na nasasaktan ako, na may puso ako

Kaya sinabi ko sayo parang awa mo na wag ako!

LITTLE DO YOU KNOW?

Little do you know how I'm breaking while you fall asleep?

Tired of waiting and pretending that I'm the one that you need

I could've given you the world 

But you feel that I'm just making things worse

How I wish that I could be perfect

A little slimmer, so that you'll not neglect

Every day I feel a little insecure

But your love is only my cure

But after all that we've been through

I always find myself coming back to you

Arms wide open, without any hesitation

Though I am certain that our dreams are just illusions.

Most of the time, I can't help but cry

For I cannot handle those sweet lies

But all reasons aside, I just can't deny

That without strings attached, I really love that guy

THE ONE THAT GOT **AWAKE**

In another life, I would be your girl

We keep all our promises, the odds against the world

In another life, I would make you stay

So I don't have to say you were the one that got away

But in this life, I'm no longer your muse

I bet that in your world, I'm of no use

There are some things in life which we can never refuse

Is it me, or her? You will have to choose

Though you've chosen her which is a bit obvious

Something is stopping me, I just can't let you loose

But deep in my heart I know,

You've be happier, If I have never showed

If only I could turn back time, I shouldn't have come

So that you and I have never crossed paths

My life's been miserable since you've been gone

I don't wanna trust no more, it is our last
