A Love so Strong

 I'll never tire of writing letters, poems and songs.

Oh, what should I do with a love this strong?

Could you blame a heart when it's you that it longs for?

I've fallen too hard. Do you think it's wrong?

To the Ends of the Earth

I won't mind the hurdles, not even the dirt,
I'll follow you to the ends of the earth.
I won't mind the bruises, even when they hurt,
I'll give you all that your love is worth.

Random Sketch # 1

Dahan-dahan

Hindi naman tumigil sa pag ikot ang mundo,

Ni ang oras sa pag takbo nito,

Ngunit ang puso at isipan,

Ay tila naiwan sa nakaraan.

 

Bakit hindi mapigilan o maiwasan,

At pilit binabalikan?

Ang mga ala-ala,

Hindi mawala-wala.

 

Lungkot ay hindi maibsan,

Patuloy pa ring nasasaktan.

 

Hindi ko naman balak na manatili rito,

Ngunit hayaan muna sana ninyo,

Na aking dahan dahanin,

Ang pag buhos ng aking damdamin.

 

Pangako, ito ay matatapos,

Nang hindi ako nauupos.

Hindi ko hahayaang ako’y maubos.

At pangako, ako'y magmamahal pa rin ng lubos,

Ng mga tao, hayop at kung ano pa man,

Magpakailanman.

Empty

Oh, Charlie,

The house feels so empty.

We miss the pit-pat of your paws,

The way you leaned your back against our legs,

Or rested your head on our feet during dinner,
Your soft “hmm, hmmm” when you wanted something,
Always polite, always sweet.

 

We’d open the fridge,

And you'd inspect it,

Sniffing each option like a little food critic,
Choosing what you liked with such certainty.

We miss your licks, your cuddles,
Your clinginess that made the house feel full.

 

But when we remember how you struggled to stand,
How you cried for help,
How your smile faded more often than not,
We find comfort in knowing you're no longer in pain.

 

They say animals don’t have souls.
But your love was pure.
And for thirteen beautiful years,
You gave us yours.
We’re grateful for every moment.
