Simply Me

it’s 2:42 am.i don’t know what wakes me up and you know how it is when one wakes up at such hour…..you find it hard to get back to a blissful slumber.now, shall i make myself a cup of coffee? nah!my problem is getting backto sleep not staying awake.shall i watch telly?nah! i don’t feel like watching.shall i blog?why not? …….and here, my friends, is where i need your help.

ngayon lamang ako gagawa ng isang buong tula sa ating sariling wika.pagpasensyahan na ninyo ang simuno, panaguri at kung ano pa ang mali.tama ba ang chronological arrangement?tama ba ang pag-gamit ko ng salita?di ko ito ini-edit dahil hinihintay ko ang inyong mga kuro-kuro.

paano ka lilikha ng isang tula kaya
ganong ang isip ay salat sa pang-unawa
paano mamumutawi sa iyo ang salita
gayong ang puso ay kapos sa pagpapala

pagdaan ng panahon aking napagmanman
ang isang obra upang maramdaman
mabigyan ng buhay at maintindihan
ito’y dumanas ng tunay na karanasan

i was watching x-factor, the counterpart of u.s. american idol and pinoy pop idol, when one of the contestants sing a song i never heard before(had to admit i’m not into music,tsk.what a shame!!!).the only phrase that catch my attention was….”i’m your shadow on the ground”. that’s it. thoughts start forming, words keep on flowing and the time has come for me to face the keyboard.

when day brings pain
gently face the rising sun
feel the warmth of its embrace
like i was in your arms

when night seems lonely
stare at the countless stars
i am the brightest of them
looking down on you from midnight sky

when moments appear unbearable
close your eyes and listen well
the wind is whispering softly
in the most caressing way

when memories haunt your dreams
and waking hours hurt still
remember that song, story reveals
of a melody our hearts once sing

you see, even when i’m gone
i never really left your side
i am all around you
until the end of time
