The Cloud And The Bird

Oh, the big cloud, it seems so far away.

But when I run, it follows the path I take.

Halt, then I do, to touch the fluffy whites;

Halt, it did too, there's a gap between us.

I am suppose to run to the big white pillow,

And sleep together with it, hearing no willow.

As I am getting close then it starts to runaway,

When demise comes my way, wish I can touch it today.

The cloud and I like parallel lines,

May see each other's heart but not hold each other's hands.

Its tears I catch when it feels heavy and gray;

My sorrow flies away, on the cloud it lays.

My reincarnation will keep us together,

We'll look down the ground with eyes so clever.

Each and everyday we'll intertwine like loops,

Let my eager wings fly into you.

Kahel na Ilaw

Pinagmamasdan ang puting ulap,

Ibinuga ng bibig, o anong sarap.

Matapos kumain, ikaw ang hanap-hanap,

Tuloy, ako’y mistulang nakasakay sa alapaap.

Kasama kita sa hirap at ginhawa,

Magkaharap pa sa loob ng kubeta.

Bawat hithit, apektado ng iyong mahika,

Sa iyong halimuyak, tunay ngang nahalina.

Samahan mo ako sa mundong mapanglaw,

O aking kaibigang kahel na ilaw.

‘Pagkat sa init mo, ako ay nauuhaw,

Sunugin natin ang mundong mababaw.

Sa mundong bilog ngunit may katapusan,

Hindi maipapangakong hindi maiiwan,

Ang iyong init ay mauubos din,

Sa huling usok, ako’y iyong lilisanin.
