Waste Time

Missing you tonight,
because we are not together.
Thinking of what we'll do
when you are here.

Jealous of the people
who are with you right now.
At least they'll hear your laughter,
they'll see your smile.

When will I ever be with you again,
for a longer time.
It's all I ever want,
to waste time with you.

Sometimes,
a poem is as simple
as being sad.

Slowly

On nights when we are
together, I look
at your face and you
smile knowing that I
am close. I lay at
your side, my head on
your lap. I feel it.

Innocently you
fondle my hair. I
breathe in your scent for
it gives me my strength.
Slowly you draw me
closer into you,
with you not knowing.

Believe me I too
don't know if it's right.
But my mind tells me
to hold on to this.
Slowly I can make
you feel the same way.
Give me this chance. Please.

Away From Home

In a place
away from home,
I found a
haven, for which
another home resides.
In a place
away from home,
I found someone
like you who

cares for me
the way my
home used to.
And I found
solace in your
presence. Where just
by being around
makes my mind
at ease.

I Can Learn Languages

I can cross oceans, as
long as you are
on the other side.
I can build bridges,
for us to meet halfway.

I can walk on thorns, or
on blazing stones.
Just be sure your healing
hand would touch my
hurting feet.

I can learn languages, and
speak them all in a day.
If you don't know one, I can
write you a dictionary, just for
you to understand what I'll say.

I can save time, then
I'll spend it all on you.
Always by your side, holding
your hand. With you, I'll
dream, a dream of hope.

If I Had A Time Machine

If I had a time machine,
I'd go back to periods
and eras I only read of
in history classes.

I'd experience World War,
or talk with Freud. I'd
write to Jose and
fight with Andres.

I'd draw on Papyrus the symbols
of today. Then join in building
the great wall. I can even attend
on one of Jesus's lectures.

I'll help discover fire and
demand being credited. I'd teach
cavemen to cook, my favorite dishes.
Or walk with the giants of our past.

But really,
if I had a time machine,
I'd go back to times I
spent with you.

For I Love You

Call my name, for I love
the sound of your
voice. Tell me things I
always want to hear.

Touch my body, for I love
the feel of your hands'
caress. Place it above my
heart and sense it beat for you.

See my soul, for I love
you to know what it yearns
for. You. Right by your
side is where I belong.

Time

Your watch stares
at me straight
in the face.
Moving his slender
hands, reminding me
that he is
running, ever changing
and nothing in
the time we
had spent together
will recur. Time,
the only thing
we can share.

But My Vocabulary Is Limited

Face to face, you look
at me. Giving me a strange
sensation. Then I know
but I can't understand
why I feel this way.

I want to put it in words,
but my vocabulary is limited.
So, right now let
my actions speak for itself.
I look at you and that's enough.

You crash yourself straight
into me and gave me no
warning. Yet I adored you
but you do not know, for I
have not told you yet.

I want to put it in words
but my vocabulary is limited.
Still I welcome you into me.
Look into my heart, and maybe then,
you will find the right terms.

Look At Me More

Words are on my tongue
that I can't even sputter,
describing this different
feeling I couldn't even
imagine. Every time we look
at each other, I see a
certain gravity that is
pulling me further to you.

Look at me more, when you feel
something. I won't look away.
For it is what I want, that
you and me might share a
connection. A string, which ends
are attached to our lives,
where I can feel what you feel.
And you can feel what I feel.

Unfinished

#1

I see you turning from me
I feel you going away
I just want this to be
Me and you every day

I don't know what you want
I can't read your mind
But if you'll give me a chance
Then maybe in me you'll find

The one who you're looking for
Who'll be there when you call
And provide what you need.


#2

I smell your perfume when
you are not with me.
I hear your laughter
from miles away.

Just a thought of you
makes my mind at ease.
And one look from you
sends me to the heights.

Kung Ako Mag-inusa

Sa mga gabi-ing ingun aron,
nga ako nag-inusa ug wala'y
kaistorya, ang imong dagway
ang musulod sa akong huna-huna.

Ikaw mapahiyumon ug ang imong
mga mata lalum ug panan-aw.
Pero kani naa ra sa sulod sa
akong utok, usa ka handurawan.

Kay sa tinuod lang, ikaw layo
ug panan-aw. Ug dili ako ang
imong gipangandoy. Pero ako usa
nang dawaton, ug ikaw akong sabton.

Ending Friendships

We were together
for holiday and summer
yet you wander
out of our circle.

I love you however
you crossed my border
now I don't want you
in my life forever.

You were the builder
keeping every one in
this friendship tighter
but you waste it in squander.

Just a thought,
now I wonder,
do you still want us or never?
A thought you have to ponder.

He Who Sleeps On My Lap

By Ronald Baytan

My friend
who sleeps on my lap
loves someone else.
He says he is a man
and a man needs a woman
and I disagree.
We argue until he grows
tired of talking
and sleeps on my lap

on this chilly night.
And I sigh,
knowing he loves
someone else
but still sleeps
gently on my lap,
innocent, not knowing
that I am here
slaughtering
one wicked wish
that when he wakes up
I shall be his dream.

Sing To Me Songs Of Love

Put your head on my shoulder.
I will brush your hair
with my hands. Carefully
caressing your head, I think,
what if this lasts longer.
Longer than a second,
longer than a minute.
For I can do this for life,
with you.

Sing to me songs of love.
Words paired with melodies
to express how you feel.
If it is what you feel, I can
listen to it longer.
Longer than a second,
longer than a minute.
For I can do this for life,
with you.

My Name

I started knowing
myself through the
name I was given.
At first I did not
know how important
it is. Then I realized
that my name was not
just a label. It was
who I am bound to become.
To grow into this
name I was given.

There are a lot of
expectations with the
name I was given.
I have to uphold certain
qualities that are right
to those around me.
To act like the person
rightful for my name.
Yes there is pressure
but there is also pride in the
name I was given.

The pride comes
with the
name I was given.
People respect and know
the past bearers of my name.
Now it is time that
I carry this heirloom
and add honor to
this name. For this
is the
name I was given.

Verses For You

Your world doesn't revolve
around me. I know I only
occupy a small space in it.

Even so, I still like the
fact that you look at me
with depth every time.

That you say my name with
comfort and that you
respond to me when I call you.

That you still consider
me in some of
the decisions you make.

I can be contented with
everything we have right
now. Smile for me.

And I'll write you more
words to show that I,
of all people, care for you.

My Words

Sometimes I feel
insensitive to those
around me. And then,
I blurt out words.
Words that hurt,
words that make me
lose some friends.

There are also times
when I want to say
words so loud and
people notice me.
I love the attention
I am getting. The words
they say make me feel good.

But the words I always
want to utter are the
honest words. Words
that describe what I
am feeling. For those
words get me where
I always want to be.

Near/Far

The distance between
us makes no
difference.
Whether you are
so close that I
could feel your
heart, or whether
you are far that I
could only think
of your face
smiling at me.

We may be separated
by thousands of miles
and millions of seconds,
or divided only
by a breath.
You may be out
of reach, or you may
be touching me.
All I know is
this I feel will
never be known.

Because we would
never be together
the way I
want us to be.

I Think Of You

I think of you tonight

as you lie soundly in your bed.

The moon outside shines so bright

giving some glow in your head.

I thought of you a while ago

while I was listening to Manilow.

The words fit my feeling

and every line I was singing.

I will think of you later

before I close my eyes to sleep.

I wonder what happens after

this feeling I want to keep.

Dreamy Night

On this night,
while everything is quiet
I hear your heart
beating peacefully.

Then I wonder
whether you see me in
the dream you are
dreaming or not.

Because every night
before I close my eyes,
I think of you and
then I see you.
