Amplifier

Applause.
The drums are with me. (The guitars are in place.)
All hail.
The drums will wake me. (The guitars will fill the space.)

Cigars, cigars... (Liquors, liquors...)
Hazy smoke from cigars-(Hypnotic scent of liquors-)
Let darkness collide (Let darkness not exist)
With us in particular. (To those who are now not fearful.)

Shuffling of prism lights, (White lights bedazzle,)
As the stage valiantly resides... (As the stage continues to baffle...)
My life is like this; it is amplified
By light, by limelight. (By light, by spotlights.)

Good Friends?!

F If I could just count the times that I laughed hard,
O Or all the mornings I woke up with a smile...
U You're the one next to all the happiness that I had.
R Our four years never in mess and I’m glad.

D The greatest friends I had now in my life...
I I don't know how they came, but I wish they'll never leave.
A A soft shoulder to cry on, a heart to warm with...
M Embrace each day that I was with you, for eternity.
O On each trial, you were by my side,
N And though wounds were stabbed, and nothing's left behind.
D The only thing I wished unto Thee-
S Is to be... with all of you, the dear friends of mine!

Dedicated to all my classmates of Batch-2005, Rosario Institute.

Today's List

Today’s List
(August 20, 2007 – Cavite City)

Wake up at 9:30am.
Realize that Brownie decided to leave.
Realize that it is sometimes hard to refresh yourself up.
Take another 2-hour, dodgem ride.
Remind yourself that your superiors won’t miss you.
Find your dream for ‘excuse’ closed & broken.
See yourself giving others money.
Notice that your feet start to shape oddly.

Find another dream broken.
Give others more money.
Realize that siestas are sometimes hard to do.
Give others more money.
Remind yourself that invisibility is often synonymous to death.
Stare at anywhere blankly to get an instant eye-sore.

Find that befriending non-existence is bad.
Find that you yourself are alone in your own existence – it is worse.
Meet thieves that will tell you that you are selfish.
Meet more thieves along the way home.
Meet your door at 11:30pm.
Learn that Whitey followed little Brownie.
Eat alone.
Believe that tomorrow is not like today.
Sleep.

Another incomplete thought...

I see a butterfly
Red and Yellow in the sky.
I hope that you'd see it, too
I hope that I'd see you.

Argh! I can't complete this poem!

Alligator, alligator
Bite off my horns and tail
So that I could pray to my Creator
To forgive my world betrayal.



Well, I may or may not declare it as a finished work already.

A poem that gave me my first short popularity

A Confession
(Another Thug’s Prayer)

Dear God,

I know You have given me 9 lives,
and a gun to protect each of it.
But I already failed about 8 times,
as my trigger could have its last hit.
I confess, I killed as many as
700 minus 34;
Now the devil, as my end arrives
will let me lay, slumber, die on the floor.
Hail Holy God, He who I have forsaken.
He detached my strings, as He takes over my DEATH.
I’m real, yet my soul longs for an ethereal sonnet,
I keyed the 7th piece, as I am weakened…
Hail His Son, who wears my favorite shirt!
He sung my riddle created from a curse…
I hid my gun under my dirty bed skirts
to protect me as I doze off from my troubles…
Yes, I still have the last shot on my gun
to draw away all the pain that I have.
I’m now burning in the kingdom of all the undone…
For I struggled to diminish His orders to none!
I confess, forgive me for I have sinned,
I know You though I didn’t mind your reign!
And now You’re damn afraid to let me live,
coz’ I left your secrets that are deep!
I kill, and I steal dreams,
And give those to my brothers and vocals… my band.
Songs they say could be against Him –
Songs of hatred? Songs of detest and shit?
My empty valor says I must mark my word,
as well as my pen, my gun, as I hold…
I was taught to preach all the dirty words
to cleanse my spirit hungry of gold!
Glory be to the Father and to His Son
For it is Their beginning that led my dawn.
They killed my shadow, and their cops bust me on.
And now I pray unto Thee, here in my room:
Pitch black, so no one would find me here;
Tranquil must be, so no one would feel my fear;
Locked, so no more evil be tempted to dare –
Dare to take away my gun as I kneel!
So dear God, as I end my little prayer,
will You save a thug from this world’s betrayal?

Title: High School GR

This is a song, I just removed the chords for aesthetic purposes.

High School GR

Friday night of February,
I saw your eyes so calm
You filled me with your love so tender
Against that pale moonlight, but

Oh, they’ve been watching over you tonight
Watching over you and your...
The Devils play the devil’s way again
I know there’s something going wrong, going wrong tonight, oh

Twelve at midnight, it’s heating up
You were nowhere (so as they’re pack)
My sense turned twisted, I felt numbed
I don’t know why but I feel like eyed and

Oh, they’ve been watching over you tonight
Watching over you and your...
Their car drove out of sight, and
At my rage I knew there’s something wrong, something wrong tonight

Blinding morning after that night
I woke up with a sip of coffee delight
I still fear something went wrong, oh God
I read the news and on page nine
“STUDENT: Raped, stabbed and died”
My restlessness heightened
The blame just pointed to me
Oh dear Valentine, did you help her lie and die?
She is a beauty queen, not a bitch, you forlorn
And fuck, she’s colder than ice, colder than ice
I can’t even wipe away those last tears in her eyes.

You’re so cold, I can’t even look at you
You’ll be forever sleeping
It ain’t nice, I can’t even say I love you, you’re gone now,

Finally lost in dreamland.
