FRAGMENTS AND PIECES() i am just someone who wants to express what comes to me, in my soul, in mywhole life...i am a fragment of the broken pieces that tries to find my wholebeing in every gleam that sparked at me....i am not a writer.....nor a poet...butsomeone who love wisdom and words and meaning....

A Lie For The Truth how can i quench the thirsty soul in me when the pen of life doesn't guaranteethe lasting water to pour down and form the words in my heart... you are the object which my spirit is driven to fly, spread out the wings of mydesire, then embrace and try to capture you perfectly. but i need to suspend and make a lie for the truth will make things die and thetreasure i possess for a while may wipe out all the smile.

A New Friend People long for a best frien'Like a lottery it is hard to winUntil one got it all of a suddenBut one has to guard his keepin'when it is lost it wont came again I got one this timeThen I made a vow in mineBut still afraid to loose my kindIt is like a music with perfect rhymeI might lost it when folly drown my mind FRAGMENTS AND PIECES

A Sonnet For You To move on from the past is hard indeedNobody could easily try as plead;Though you try to project alibi,Someone's betrayal marks the pain and lieThat burden your precious heart to dieThus Im here for you and say my side:I'm the lad who wont make you sadHeal your wounds, ease what makes you badthe bitterness, in the vow you hadHis flux gave you rain and mudLook around, I'm here with lullaby of love.

All Alone All alone in the darkThough the sun offers the unfading lights, not even a sparkYet its rays seem with black clouds are wrappedAnd the smoke of disaster in the heartPermeates deep inside through the soulBut I continue to go forward no matter how unsureThe end will beFor I know I should fight this war in me.No matter what it takesUntil finallyMy body will rest eternally.

All I Can Say I'd rather be awaythan hear what you always saythan to watch you all dayand in a world standing separately id rather choose not to staywhile my lips remain here to saythat my heart will never belost in love in any way id rather cry away from younot to show that i am weak tooshed the tears and let it flowhiding from all as i always do i have been missing you so muchi really long to feel your touchbut can i ever have it as easy as thatwhen you only hear without asking me what so i must stay in so far awaywhile watching you day by day'i care for you' is all i can saykeeping apart is the best of my way [madero9 august 2011naga] FRAGMENTS AND PIECES

An Ordinary Dedication I want to say how happy I am Whenever I see youI want to jump & sing because of the joy you give in your presenceI want to write many poems because of your inspirationI want to live forever if I can just have you You became my joy, my happinessYou became my inspiration to do great things.You became the song that soothes my weary heart.Thank you for being what you areI wish we can be more than friends.

Coded Number 16 I can draw a pictureAny fabulous creatureTo mesmerize the human eyeWith crafts spectacularly sly. Momento fuels to recreateThe fears and joys that lies beneathFilled with laughter and tearsBlending the visage of the universe. Yet there is a lonesome realityA truth I can never be freeNo escape though often forsakenTo be alone depicts no meaning. Paints of imagination are my wingsHooked by unfailing liquids of desiringThrough a hand of perseveringWith a surface of experiences to lean on in. Vision is my dreamed goalieDriven by unpompous libertyWith a sharp pointed industryTo lay out the glimpses of beauty. [madero13 April 2011, Calaguas, Camarines Norte] FRAGMENTS AND PIECES

Death After all the days of breathingOf tearful coming and goingOf shameful or blissful flatteringOne reality will make one to start a new beginning This is the reference of the final endOne will measure what he has earnedHe can see whether he truly learnedDuring his falls along what he dreamed This is a crossroad one has to takeWhether he like it or refrain from itThe reality he can never escapeLife must end, this he must admit One chooses not what is wellBut what he has stored will now compelThe road to take, heaven or hellThe fact is, one consumed the final bell. This is a tragedy for the unpreparedA misery that can not be coveredBut a welcome for the living saintThe gate of heaven that has been anticipated. FRAGMENTS AND PIECES

Drifting Inside I woke so silent in my heartCraving for something I don’t know whatWith unquenchable thirst of the flashing pastTo flee from the dry well I could notYet drowned with sadness, a tear just drop. I walked to leave the bed I laidBegin to scramble the lore I madeBut the empty glass of my mind reflects a caveDeafness surrounds and darkness now livesThe hole of nothingness for the joy that ebbs. I looked at the mountains from so far awayNever did give a chance to escape the dayLike watching the bubbles falling to meCatches the eyes of the wonderer’s gleeMy lonely heart remained totally empty. I hooked my feet on the stable chairAnd resting my body I could hardly bearSeems nobody guides me, I’m going nowhereAnd my heart’s dream remain unclearJust betting the cards of the fate to be opened later. This is the clairvoyant soul of the poor drifterHas lost the pathways as the rays disappearNothing occupies the heart but the consuming fearThe troubled conscience of the ambitious dreamerHas strayed away but nobody dared to care.

Hanging i walked through the valleywhere i caught a bright new daymy whole world was all free of grayonly blue skies cover my liberty at a noon day calli got this crazy thing and so smalli tried to lay it in the wide hallbut i learned it overflows on the wall i searched for several waysto assess the leaking fencebut the solution losses its gainsand i already spent all the means another thing called me thensaid leave that chaos before losing patienceand i agree to that callingthe new path now is begining but when i stopi happen to look backthen i saw a stumbling blockwhich hinders my feet to pursue my plot i found myself fallingbut it seems i am still hangingon this ridiculous and crazy feelingoh when will i be free from this thinking.

Heaven They say it is a treasure of the wiseThe real end we can never compromiseThere is no place for any viceThe bliss is promised as a paradiseAnd true delight is given without disguise It is so far away when we think of itIndescribable by any kind of witWas it like a white board that is so neat?Or a green field filled with wheatIt nearly seems like a created myth A poor mind can never understandWhat it shows even to the blindThe sweetness of its truth behindA wonder and awe would never sufficeTo grasp the beauty it always hides I wonder the words can ambitiously expressThe true meaning of its incomparable caressTo savor its taste can speak the bestNo eloquent tongue can really traceThe vast and indefinite happiness Is it a place or a state of grace?Whatever it is one sure truth we cannot rephraseThe joy and merriment it only bearsIf one taste its sample on earthOne will never lose his proper ways. This is a choice taken by one's meritIf its path is taken until the endThe glory of life will be borne in itIt is the sure direction that defines one's fateIf one has stayed along to the eternity gate.

Hell Have you ever felt in your very beingWhere your heart is dragged as if you're fallingAll the unsure occupied your feelingAnd you can never identify it to anything This another end of one's true fateWhat has been sown on the ground for wheatOne will face the final harvestBe it fruits or weeds in the basket It could be a state where anxiety sucksWhere the entire environment mocksNo promise of any pain trapOnly a glimpse of despairs to be unwrapped A deep water and tasteless seaCould partly describe its inescapable agonyTo drown in the dark water of fearful ecstasyOr more than these one can always say Ah, it is a world of purely shameWhere one can never leave his face openAs if he is truly and heavily ladenNothing can't stop him from laze or hiding Worst would be, it is a shame with painWhere his very self is only to blameTo think of the past he can never changeWorst, he wasted all the chances given to him It is a time of throbbing regretWhere sorrow and twinge has no reliefThere is only a torture of anguish and griefSour and bitterness is the lasting taste.

I Wonder i wonder why things changei wonder why we keep to maintainthe things we believe that will never endi wonder why many things do not remainyet we pretend that those things will come again. i wonder words limit your mindi wonder how it can express what is behindthe truth it bears one should findi wonder truly what to hold in mindcoz pain in the end is left to bind. i wonder why and vomit more questionsi wonder from here how to get alongthe troubles i met i think i belongi wonder why i felt this all alonei tried to escape but disaster have always won. i wonder how to poison my hearti wonder how to get this feeling apartno matter how i pretend to be smarti wonder i could still stay alive or just departwhen sunsets, early sleep would offer a cart. i wonder if this someone do ever listeni wonder if this someone a heart could hastento rescue this dying soul that pain has beateni wonder if this someone would pay a visit thenif this insane wishful rest in the haven.

If You Have Forgotten Me I criedso loud to disturb the worldbut it is only deep inside methe turmoils boilswhen the writhe has torn my heart in the shadow of my smilethe imperfections of my laughterthere the pangs of yesterdayshave printed the scarsof the indelible affection. would it be betterwhen you have gonefrom the place we metwhen the night brought our destinyin a place in some secondsto see you face but if the world is so crueli'd rather endure it than to thinkand realizethat once i met a personwho will be forever a fantasyan elusive dream that my heartknows not to be tired to carry.

Im Moving On i've been hanging for this crazy feelingbut the wind blew it alli do feel the pang of that stingbut i see myself leaving that gall its a puzzle thing that i tried so hardbut my wishing gave me couragethe pushing of time has led my heartnow i got my book's next page i did felt the spices of those momentssaid i will endure the taste of glorybut no, it is a breaking condimentsa punch to cease the memory i felt trapped when i took the chancesbut i was mesmerized when i saw the golden havenso bad to learn that it is all for one handnow i get over it and finally continue my walkin.

Is It Real? Something one may happen to feellike a wind that cross on the hillhas two contrasting directionssometimes beyond imaginations i dont know how to call itthey say it is felt through a heartbeatit may go forwardit may step backward some say it directs to its pleasureto the taste that promise to allurebut not all the timesit gets the real wine. yes it heads for the bestwishes for all the sweetestbut a sad thing is also expectedanyone could be deserted one can aspire for the greatestbut should be ready for the testit may turn to disappointmentsand may leave a scar of the worst moments i have felt such a thingi thought it was everythingbut the dark side confirms a theorywhich saddened my juvenile memory i left a place where i called homebecause it seems that something is wrongi love it much so i sacrificewishing that my decision would really suffice now i ask myself with utmost sinceritydo i really feel the way i seeor i might be dreaming to fill my beingwith something i always wanted to win

It's All I rushed to say helloI thought it was my chanceBut I realized I was dreamingOf what is not meant for me. My greetings was driedLike a flower given to someoneAnd was not acceptedRather it was left, thrown and dried.And the wind is waited to blow itUntil it is lost in the deaf field. It's all I sayLike a beholder,Nothing more I can do than just watchTruly, the value of a craft is in the artist's mindNever in the beholder's.If the artist burns his piecesthe Beholder can do nothing but to watchNo matter how a beholder would show his careHis, will only have the effect when given a right by the artist....

Judgment Life is an inevitable journeyWhere one needs some kind of moneyTo sustain his power and energyAnd reach his final destiny In the end, one will restHe will see how great was his bestAfter all his travel daysFinally he will see what he has made Wherever one chooses and goesWhatever he has won or lossHe might have paid all his duesThere is a sure thing he can never lose When one is still strongCan always do even the wrongCan abide to what he held his ownControl is in him who mold his home But times may come from somewhere elseThe days of power may lose its gazeSeldom, few brought to amazeDespair would rather even wrap the base Life is sowing in the fieldsOne has the choice to remove the weedsIn his own decision, nobody bidsEven to his conscience, there are only rare affairs Sudden and prompt change may comeLife would stop no matter things are plannedNo excuses, many times do not even warnThe journey ends and the final breaths shun. The tribune of life will now arrestThe deeds of past speaks one's chestWhere he built his own true resting placeWhat he worked for now return his gains

Letting Go letting go does not mean you loss your heart/passion to a thing,to somebody or to a dream...it is only one way of accepting the realitythat we cannot always have what we wish to have,to achieve or to be with...for a thing,it is to give way to others to have it while you cannot;for somebody, it is one way to give him/her/them the freedomto choose whom they want to be with,we cannot force a good relationship, a good friendshipespecially when there is water and an oil altogether;for a dream, not all who works hard reach what really they wanted, but at timeswe need to acceptthat there is actually another thing reserved for usand we need to go beyond what we are expecting of....i once dreamed of becoming an 'architect' literally,but Somebody up there made this wayto lead me to be an 'architect' of somethingnot physical but spiritual...letting go is acceptance....whether we like it or not....we need to accept thingsto make a better choice to do next... acceptance of things, of person, of dreams.......... lettings go is not leaving from... but going beyond!

On Your Debut On Your DebutThe young pearl for years was growin’The shells as well appear as fabulous wingsAnd the worth’s been doubled by such gorgeous bein’The center of the brain has been molded with golden beamAt eight, morning, a blaze amazingly shinin’Every eye is caught at you, gazin’By the Angel in you have been appearin’Enough to seduce every beautiful mind to be dreamin’And your name reveals what is withinThe joy that unceasingly overflowin’These words couldn’t exhaust what’s to be givenBut the promise of prayer will never be endin’ naga.9 October 2011 FRAGMENTS AND PIECES

Pagbabalik Tanaw Ako ay napapaisip ng: may gusto akong gawinSubalit alam kong hindi na ito nararapatSapagkat wala akong maramdaman kahit kunting tamisSa tuwing sinusubukan kong tikmanAng langit na aking hinahangad. Ngunit ngayo’y sinasabi ko na ang lumipasAy hindi kailan man nawawala o nababagoKundi ito ay tinatakpan lamangNg payak na katotohanang dapat tanggapinSubalit maari pa itong mabuhayKung ang bagong kwentoAy mabibigyan ng pagkakataon Nakakapanghihinayang lamangDahil ang dinidiligang bulaklak sa halamananAy nananatiling larawanPara sa paru-parung hindi binibigyan ng puwangNa maaring madapuan. Kaya naiisip ko na lamangKung may magandang umagaNa magbibigay pag-asa sa bagong simulaAy hindi ko palalampasin.Ngunit kung hindi man ito magaganap,Pamamaalam lamang ang sadya kong maipapabaonAt hangad na lubusang kaganapanNg ligaya at tagumpay Hindi ko man kapalaranAng matagpuan kang ulilaAlam mong naging bahagi ka ng aking panulatAt hindi ko inakalang bubuhay sa aking pag-iisip. May takip man ang iyong sisidlanAng mahalaga'y pangarap kong langit ay aking nasilayan. Hindi ko alamKung ito'y pamamaalam na hindi paglayo

O paglayo na walang pamamaalam.Ang hangad ko lamangAy mabigyan ka ng lubusan kakayahanNa gumawa ng hakbangAt ako'y hindi makakadagdagSa balakid ng iyong pagpipilian. Ako ay nagpapasalamat saiyo kapalaran.Binuksan mo aking isipan.Ako ngayo'y babalik sa piniling daanSapagkat nilisan na rin akoNg aking katinuanNa nagdala sa isipan ng kaguluhan. Sana ako nalang si SpidermanKasi may alam akong gawin na kanyang pinabayaanSubalit magagawa ko din kayaAng hindi niya kinaligtaan?Sana ako ay isang SuperheroHangad ko’y makatulong sa iyoNa buong pag-asang matagpuan ang mundoKung kailangan mo’y naririto lang ako Sayo pa din ang pagpapasya.Huwag lang sanang itapun ang butong pananimPakitago nalang kung ayaw mong palaguinKung gusto mo itong mamunga, maaring lang ay pakitanim Salamat sa mga nagbigay pansinSa kaisipan kong hindi mapunuanNg kahit anung panapal.Nagagalak akong isipinNa minsan sa aking paglalakbayAy may mga nakisabay dinSa daanang minsa'y nahirapan akong sundan. Paumanhin din poSa mga itinuring kong kasaloSa bubong na naitayoSa mga panahong lumipasSubalit nasaktan ko sa tuwing

Pag-Gilid Tuloy ang lakad kahit mainitNagsisikap makarating ang sambitMahirap man ang daan sadyang pumipilitKailangan ay huwag lamang maipit. Inisip ko na sanang huminto na lamang‘Pagkat mahirap ang ganitong kalagayanUhaw at gutom sa pagkahilo’y nagsabayanKahit anong gawi’y hindi matakasan. Sa dagat tumawa ang malakas na alonTila wala ng balak humilomNgiti ng hangi’y makikitang ganunNa parang ang banka’y nalito san paruroon. Ang tricycle at jeep hangi’y di makasilipNaghihingalo nga’t tumatakbong pilitUsok na hininga’y nanunuot sumisiksikKasama’y alikabok naipo’t naging putik. Sa paglalakbay ko’y pagod ang nadamaNais kong umupo at magpahinga munaNgunit kahit munting kanlunga’y pinagkaitan paNi walang mahimlayan parang wala ng pag-asa. Minalas nga’t wala ng maisipPagtawid nga’y nasulit kahit pa anong initKabiguan ang dumating at umulan pagbalikKaya lahat nalang ng santo ay nasasambit. Tunay na ganito ang hamon ng buhayPagsisikap at tiyagang may sipag ay tinataglayHuwag lang manghina minsan ma’y sumablayUpang hantunga’y maabot na may galak na tunay.

Sweet Little Tweety The heavy rain clamped you with painYou were chilling yet continue chasingYou were helpless and your soul is tremblingYour eyes are doomed but refrained from crying. I came to lend you helping handsTo give a lovely embrace that warmsCaressing your weak and fainting armsAnd hold to keep you from harms. The tiny yellow feathers gave us bridgeYour tamed spirit to me has ledThe lovely fragrance began to spreadI headed to you, passionately attentive. My fathomless desire came outDreaming to stay with aroundListening to your song, a lovely soundChirping a lullaby that made me bound. Nay, I tried to let you comeEnter into my ambitious palmThen I saw you ready to shunI’m blessed you did not run. Pardon me, I was so aggressiveMy soul was just becoming naïveIf I cannot be your closer friend,Just let me lead you to what you’ve dreamed. Oh thank God you did stayRefused from leaving and fleeing awayOh let me take you my sweet little tweetyThen shelter and hide you from the gloomy day.

The Day I Saw You When i met youi thought an angel was sent out of heavencause you are in the place where you are the most gorgeous When i met youi thought i was dreamingcause i cant believe i see the missing piece that completes my day When i met youi thought i was lost in the castle where only princes are therecause i cant believe you're in there too When i met youi said this is it....my whole life is now enoughjust to be near you, to forget the rest of the world is possible.

The Hard Part i found the diamond of the highest valuebut i have to throw it and i should dono matter what i have to goand free myself from dreaming and wishing too with all my wisdom i did not want it to happenbut it just pretty insistently did beginand my stubborn heart does not listenthat i should stop 'cause at stake is everything i want to wait till the morning comesto let the sun show all my heart's plansbut the cold night drives me to shunto let me see that i am not really the one how could i learn to vanish and fall apartwhen my spirit has been confessed by the catching heartand i just find my soul has turned bereftand to forget all is the hardest part what should i do with all these thingswhen it matters these, i have stupidity in feelingsbut i have to be distant from that emotional ringthe part so hard, despairs it all would bring.

The Road Less Traveled the road less traveled i often wonderwhere young lad come and enterand finally found nowheretheir end and goal just disappear the road less traveled i happen to reflectwhether it's me who has defectto embrace this journey so perfectwhich i wish cause an effect oh many travelers did never seeits worth for anyone to bewhere people feel the human frailtyand forget the meaning for the many why do people fail to realizethat this path of life needs not any prizebut rather a piece of true sacrificefor other people that nobody dares to sympathize oh when will one see the value of this wayand find it worthy to be lived wherever one may beliving for the people and not the self and 'me'this road is what the world badly needs today.

The Star Then love caught my heartFound the feelings I cannot departThe string of my journey I wish to cut‘Cause this affection is scared to be apartFrom the treasure only now I got.Then love caught me truly I sayThe glance of love has made me stayTo stand by forever, just lay stifflyWhile you’re shimmering from the space so far awayMy heart is captured by your glistening beauty.The rays of infatuation dragged me to flyAiming for the prize and ready to dieBut how can I get that star from above the skyThough sobering to catch it yet falling has no sign.

Unworthy Then....I became a fisherman .....and Burned by the heat of the sun.I became a peasant .....and got only two dirty hands.I became a servant .....and was wrapped with ignorance.I became a bad boy ......and plated with arrogance. So i shifted my life after a glance. I became a captain But only in my dreams.I became a cowboy But only with little herd.I became a teacher But only for my self to learn.I became a thinker But no less than the foolish.I became a poet But with only a dropp of wit.I became a painter But I can draw only a few.I became a singer But nobody wants to hear.I became a writer But nobody wants to read.I became an artist But I designed non senseI became a critic And I just found that i am really weak So I just thrown myself in all of a sudden Into the heart of the wide ocean And the deepest world of the sea, I swam... and then i see, after all these years i am still unworthy
