Red In a Sea of Gray
My eyes are tired
Watching a vision of dullness
People, cars, even trees...
They all look gray to me
I try to find something
A different color
In the things i see...but
The grayness has overwhelmed me
As i continue to walk
Hope screaming for oblivion
A flicker, a sparkle of flame
I see red in her brightest of shades
My eyes staring at her
Nervous yet relieved
A bright rose has pricked my mind
Awakening me from the dull gray
The moment froze as she was beside me
She smiled in the loveliest of pinks
A tingle of warmth has banished the dullness
Gray dissipated into colors so vivid
The moment has passed
As she vanished into the vibrant colors
A smile peeked upon my face
My heart realizes its favorite color
I walk now with vision so vivid
Yet uneasiness hovers above
For in the eyes of that color so lovely
I might be just a gray like people around me...

It Might Have Been
Everyday, I see you,
Your loving smile...
Your beautiful face...
If i had stared a little longer,
You might have noticed me.
Everyday, we joke around,
Your funny smile...
Your enchanting face...
If i joked around a little longer,
You might have noticed my sense of humor.
Everyday, we text each other,
Your charming personality...
Your beautiful soul...
If i texted a little longer,
You might have noticed I'm always there.
Sometimes, we don't see each other,
Don't see your face...
Neither hear your voice...
If I missed you a little longer,
You might have missed me too.
All my life, I will love you,
To see you smile,
To see you happy.
If i loved you a little longer,
Then maybe...
Just maybe...
You might have fallen for me too.

To love a soul
The sun rises on the horizon
A day comes anew
Like any other…
But something has gone astray
This feeling…
A burden…
Breath heavy
Gasping for air…
Pain…
Anxiety…
Slight confusion…
What is this?
Eyes close
Flash of light…
A single moment
I saw you…
Memories start to follow
Sweat trickles on
My cold skin…
Body chilling
Soul trembling
Heart dying
Tears fall…
Within me
Lies depression…
A pain full
Of regret…
Love once bound by the heart
Dissipates
Before seeing the
Light of day…
I long to see you…
To complete my being once again
Why is life so harsh
Remorse too great…
Pain so unbearable…
Tears uncontrollable…
I lay down
Tears falling
Hoping to wake
From this
Nightmare…
I cry…
Hoping u can hear me…
Yearning to tell you
What my heart has chained
Eyes teary…
Drops of regret fall
Upon the cruel floor
I wanted to say…
I love you…
Words hidden in my heart…
But my words
Are meaningless
To you now…
A soul…
Nothing more…

Radiance in the dark
In the moonlit shadows
Of darkness and gloom
A silent field of
Murk and shade
Resides…
A lady sitting
Upon a tree’s
Silhouette
Silent…
Yet ever graceful…
With moonlit aura
Upon her skin…
A pale façade of beauty
A shadow of enchanting light
Her eyes
Gems of the night
An entrancing shimmer
Glistens as moonlight
Over a calm lake
A face of splendor
Hidden beneath
A mask of shade…
Princess of beauty
Captive of darkness
An inner light
Bound in despair
Waiting…
Yearning…
Wishing…
To shatter the shackles
To be free…
In the moonlit shadows
Of darkness and gloom
A silent field of
Murk and shade
Resides…
A lady sitting
Upon a tree’s
Silhouette

A pale façade of beauty
A shadow of enchanting light

Bitter Sweet Chocolate Chip
As I walked along
I saw this cookie
I stopped…
My mouth watered
Anticipating…
Longing…
Impatient in delight…
The sweet looking chocolate…
The hot goodness of its dough…
I licked my lips
I felt the hunger
Time flew like crazy
Next thing I knew
I held the warm delight
In my eagerly open palm
Its so close…
The moment has come…
I can feel its heat…
Calling me to take a bite…
Longing…desiring…
To fulfill its purpose…
Time froze
As I answered its call
I felt its warmth…
Sweet and chewy…
Yet
The feeling vanished
Desire faded…
It wasn’t anything special…
Deceived by its looks
The uniqueness gone…
My hunger unsatisfied…
I looked at it…
A once fulfilling
Thing that caught
My eye…
Now the sweetness was gone
Lost in its bitterness…
I released it…
Saving me from the discomfort…
I drank water…
To remove the bitterness
But it stayed
In my tongue…
In my mouth…
In my mind…
Now I feel pain…
Bitter sweet discomfort in my tooth…
It stung like crazy…
A pain that won’t
Go away easily…
I looked around
And saw a chance
Another treat
Much delectable
Like the first…
Hoping…
Wishing…
This would remove the pain…

Pain
by Christine Umali
I tripped
I fell
I bumped my head
I closed my eyes
Darkness all over me
The sudden rush of pain is all over my body
From the fractured feet
To my bleeding head
From my broken limb
To my torn muscles
From my tired weary heart
To my tortured soul
The overwhelming feeling
The excruciating pain
Embraces my whole being
Lonely past and regrets
Visits me like ghouls
The pain is taking over me
I’m blinded by hatred
Eyes burning with anger
After I exhaust myself
I find myself lying
I am still alone
Body numb
The only thing I can feel is the gushing pain
My heart it is still pumping blood
I can feel it through my veins
The pain I still can feel
I am still alive
After all…

I've Finally Found You
by Dana
Spread your wings, and I'll fly with you
You are probably the most wonderful girl I've ever
known
But one thing that I know is for sure�
I've finally found you.
Your beautiful smile that makes
My day and night complete
Your brown eyes which shine
Like a Sun in the morning and Stars at night
Shower me with your love,
And I'll show you how a girl should be loved
I might be in love. But one thing that I know is for
sure
I've finally found you.
Every time I go to sleep at night
I always dream that you'll be here right by my side
Kissing you, touching you, and hoping you'll be mine
' Till the end of time. I'll be loving you forever
'Coz you are a treasure in my heart.

Every Cold Night
By Carlo Montaño
Every cold night,
I wait at His house,
Nothing fancy, just simple and plain.
The cold is unnerving,
Yet why am I still waiting?
For Him to answer my call.
He’s just a man,
Nothing unusual and strange,
But why am I waiting outside of His house,
Praying to Him to open the door.
My bones are chilling,
But why am I anxious,
To talk to this guy about life,
I’m still standing in this winter frost.
He’s just normal like me,
But why am I yearning,
To hear His answers to my questions within,
I’m freezing in this cold shroud,
But why am I waiting outside this plain house,
Yearning to see this ordinary man,
And His answer to my call,
Every cold night.

Don’t Call
By Carlo Montaño
Don’t call,
Not right now,
Not at this moment,
Coz I don’t know if I’m ready.
Don’t call,
For throughout my life,
I didn’t answer,
The previous calls You made before.
Don’t call,
For inside me,
Is a confused soul,
Still pondering on its purpose
Don’t call,
Coz I’m scared of facing the task You put on me,
The dark that will come my way,
The sadness it may bring
Don’t call,
Am I even worthy?
A sinner like me,
Dwells in dark and sin
Don’t call,
Coz sometimes I don’t hear,
The calls You have made,
Coz of problems and pain.
Don’t call,
But still continue to call
Coz I know I don’t have meaning,
If I knew You weren’t calling.

“Spirit of the Flame”
I feel hopeless upon this place,
Losing hope, losing my face,
When will I overcome this horrible phase
Of hopeless dreams and boundless disgrace?
The task I have yet to fulfill,
The space is hard to fill,
Even though, I have reached the limit of my will,
It seems hard to reach the top of the hill.
But what is this I feel?
Something strong and unreal,
It opened what I had to conceal,
It made my strength heal
It empowered me to continue,
The flame in me that grew,
My dreams, it made me pursue,
Blessed be thy spirit, for it made me anew.

Nasa orasan ang buhay,
Unti-unting nawawalay,
Ikot ng mga kamay,
Nawawalan ng malay,
Tumatakbo ang oras,
di pwedeng tumakas,
mauubos ang bukas,
mawawalan ng lunas,
Ang pag-ikot ng orasan,
Panoorin at pagmasdan,
Ang kampana’y pakinggan,
Makakuha ng kasiyahan.
Ang mga aral na naidulot,
Ang mga nakakabagabag na takot,
Pati ang mga kasayihang napulot,
Makukuha sa orasang umiikot.

Bloodlust
Anger is raging in my blood,
Revenge is playing in my mind,
My body has accepted the cold mud,
I feel hatred for my kind
The path I took I will not regret,
My soul has accepted my fate,
I will not pay my horrible debt,
I will not appear in heaven’s gate,
The souls I took while walking this path
Has made my life so short,
Yet they deserved my horrible wrath,
To atone for my sins I will not resort,
So comes my life of hatred and pain,
I will not allow them to put me to shame.

Precious
The winds of autumn breathe life unto thee,
Fallen leaves dying upon shallow ground,
Yet thy beauty resting on the bright sea,
In beauty, cries of death shall not be found
The moon shines with heaven’s consent
Stars sparkle humbly before its beauty,
Dawn shall rise, the sun, they bow for time spent,
When thy grace lightens up the land’s bounty
Flowers stand with pride so true
Gracing their beauty upon my lost heart
But thy rose so pure knowing its place too
Soil of my being in thee shall not part
Thy tale from which I tell your loveliness,
In me, you shall remain my life’s princess.

Love’s prayer
By Carlo Montaño
In this room I sit in the darkness of time,
Watching, waiting, my soul is lost,
Speechless words I utter like a mime,
My heart is frozen by this frost,
Cold, my heart is hard like stone,
My existence still, motionless, ever dark,
This chill that shatters me to the bone,
In me, loneliness has made its mark,
But there is this light that shines within me,
The light that longed to dissipate,
It began to shine as bright as can be,
The light has become my fate,
To thee, I still have the light
For thee, I will continue to fight.

A Journey
These are moments that God has blessed,
Where you see your beautiful life shine at its best,
Giving you a chance to show to the rest,
What you have realized along your quest.
Life has given you joys and cheers,
It bestowed you smiles throughout your years,
It blocked your path and gave you fears,
But you still continued fighting your tears.
Along this road, you have strolled,
Fighting your way, so strong and bold,
Helping others struggle the cold,
Coz for in you rests a heart of gold,
So in this moment, I honor you,
A friend so loving and true,
Along this road, I will do,
Is to help you see all this through,
For I will be here, cheering you on,
Giving you strength until you have won,
Continue to be God’s loving pawn,
Being the light to those who have gone

Nagkasalisi
Ni Carlo Montaño
Nakita ko siya padaan sa tabi ko,
Ano na ang gagawin ko nito?
Malapit na siya, ‘di ako kumibo,
Alam kaya niya ang aking sekreto?
Puso’y nakatago, ayaw gumalaw,
Paubos ang oras bago siya’y bumitaw,
Nakakuha ng lakas, paningi’y luminaw,
Ngayo’y haharapin ang kanyang silaw,
Nang siya’y dumaan, ako’y napansin,
Ngiting ka-ayaaya nang ako’y batiin,
Ngiti lang ginamit para siya’y sagutin,
Puso ko’y sumigla, ngunit ayaw sabihin,
Lumagpas siya sa paningin kong roon,
Puso’y ngumiti, biglang lumingon,
Siya’y nakita, kagandahan ang tugon,
Ako’y napangiti, pinaasa sa panahon.
