J.M. Española Poems

Nakakabwisit man ang mundo,
Ang sakit man ng problema sa ulo,
Mahirap mang isiping may iba n siyang gusto,
Kailangan mo pa ding haraping lhat ay nagbabago...
...

Sabi ng puso ko’y mahal daw kita.
Sabi ng isip ko’y huwag daw maniniwala.
Sabi nila ang dami-dami diyang iba,
Sa dami ng tao, bakit daw ikaw pa?
...

Sa di-inaasahang pagkakataon,
Dalawang mundo ang nagbunggo.
Umabot nga sa di-kalauna'y,
Puso naman nila ang nagtagpo
...

Naghihintay, nagaabang, sa taong ito,
Sa taong mamahalin nitong puso ko.
Naghihintay, nagaabang, ngunit sabi ng utak ko,
Pumili na lang ng taong nasa paligid ko.
...

I dreamed of love and hate combined
and wished that only love were mine,
but then again, how wrong i was,
for one cannot be where the other is not.
...

I am a blue butterfly,
With wings that flutter well,
Yet I’m alone, can't reach the sky
Cause in this bottle I must dwell.
...

No words can express the longing I feel,
The feeling of emptiness that’s here in me still.
Where can I go? What should I do?
Why is it that, more than ever, my heart still wants you?
...

Your eyes bore deeply into mine
And I knew that my soul is lost
I cannot feel the tick of time
Whenever our paths cross…
...

Mahal kita, alam mo ba?
Ayos lang sa kin kung may iba ka.
Hindi ko naman plano na manggulo.
Gusto ko lang talaga sabihin 'to sayo.
...

Every morning, every night,
It's You oh Lord who hears my plight.
When darkness looms and nothing's right,
It's You oh Lord, who gives me light.
...
