poem
THE GUITAR
(Magdalena Jalandoni)
Its slender strings that are bright as gold
Sing tenderly as a wild dove…
In the night hours, its elect voice
Is like the plaint of a precious feeling,
Like the slow sigh of a soul in tears…
For perhaps in the heart of the strummer
Lies a deep sorrow that cannot be undone,
And as each single string is singing
No one can help but listen, enchanted,
No one can help but feel the strong grieving.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
(Amado Yuzon)
I want you to know now and forever that I love you as much as I do my own life;
You are the muse of my pen which worships your beauty,
You are the life of my heart which throbs with love;
I have dedicated my whole self, body and soul,
As your devoted companion in joy and in pain;
I want you to know that I love you in this way,
As a part of my life, as the star of my future.
What happened? by Ashley Fitz
Remember when we were the best of friends?
I do.I remember the long talks on the phone
Everyday on the weekend spent together
Never having anyone say one name without the other
Going everywhere with each other
Doing everything together
Knowing each other better than ourselves
But then you decide to hurt me like I never thought possible
You always think it's me, but you were the one that hurt me
I am just so tried of all the things you find to get mad about
I'm not going to try to explain what happened because knowing you; you won't listen to anything I have to say
How could you think I would do something like that?
I thought you knew me, but I guess not
Nothing would have happened if you never decided to do what you did
You were the only one I trusted in life
I told you everything
Now I can't trust anyone
My heart is closed and will take a lot to be opened again
I want to talk to you the way we did before
I have cried over this too much and now I'm just mad
I wish you never did what you did
But at night all I think about is all the good times
