Ikaw Pa Rin

Poetry by | October 14, 2012

Bawat ngiti mo nagpapaalala
ng bawat panaginip at pangarap
Mukha mo’y puno ng alaala
na nag dadala sa ‘kin sa alapaap
Bawat luha’y isang madilim na kahapon
na nais makalimutan, sa isip ay dapat maitapon
Bawat alaala ay nakaraan
na bawat sakit at bawat tamis ay minsan nang natikman
Katotohana’y gusto kong limutin
and panahon na tayo’y magkalayo
Saan man dalhin ng hangin
Papadpad pa rin sayo
Oras ma’y tumigil at di na tumakbo
Isip ma’y pumurol at matuyo
Puso ma’y mahirapan at huminto
Ikaw ang bumuhay sa mundo ko
