The penmanship of life; anew
Altered all with no further ado
Memories; inevitably on adieu
As the worth en peu à peu.
...
Ahh! I bit my lips!
How lustful am I of sweets!
The thick honey delight-
The sugary desire to bite!
...
Dati kahit sulyap lamang
ako'y balisa't di mapakali
Nais ay pagsinta mo habang
nagsasaya sa 'yong kandili
...
Nang aking puso'y unang tumibok
sayo'y nahulog, ako'y rumupok
Kahit di mo pansin, di nagmaliw
kahit imposible, sayo'y nabaliw
...
Sa pag-aagaw ng dilim at liwanag
sa pulang langit, ika'y banaag
sa pag-ibig nati'y sumasagisag
na sa katahimika'y bumabasag
...
On a dark room, I was lying - Eyes on the ceiling
staring to nothing - 'till I heard my heart beating
double, triple? much faster than the clock's tick-tock
...
I hath stepped on old footprints
fitted mine feet to each
I hath walked on soft pavements
to ascript all mine beseech
...
Sa gabing 'di mapakali
panaginip, sa'yong kandili
paglayang minsang sandali
di kailanman nanatili
...
I once thought I knew the world
'till I realized to infinity 'twas folded
The warmest home I claim turned cold
I discovered I'm naive and stupid
...
