Rest
I go a distance away from pressures and noises—
Away from a lonely world where tears should have to wait,
Where smiles are forced to come out from those with brokenness;
I choose to run away from the world-dictated fate.
Beyond the stars I look and see a universe
Where balance remains without anyone to protest.
Teary-eyed I enter a land with Crystal Rivers
Where trees bear fruits that are sweeter than all this world’s best.
Though paradise is the most perfect refuging place
But to kiss and pass its gates I do not yet desire
Though deep down I’m so excited to see the King’s face
For I know after a rest there is a greater fire.
I am still here to continue my work and service
And to fulfill to God my allegiance and promise.

Return Of The Romance
(These are the days when I just love God. Hey, I am a hardcore dude. Call me a Christian and make me proud of it but hey, I am not a religious person but God’s love is so amazing that makes me go poetic. God exists. God saves. God loves each and every one of us.)
I saw my Love with crystal tears falling from the eyes,
Looking like withered leaves as the body breaks apart.
Then I looked to other figures and grew cold as ice
Not knowing that I became a man who lost his heart.
With no identity as the mask consumed my face
For I hid who I am from the eyes of my Love past.
I isolated myself in a desolate place,
Lived not like a master but as a disgraced outcast.
Went gone came the heat of the flames of passion and love
For within a season autumn and winter unite
Yet the spring and summer appeared stronger with hope’s dove
And brought back to my weary soul blazing Holy Light.
Thorns were on the road as the rose was trampled and tossed —
Driven by the wind like waters with no direction
But though I sentenced the flower to forever’s lost,
It grew roots that reached even beyond Earth’s foundation.
As I passed the river where honey and nectar be,
A familiar aroma passed through and gave fragrance.
My Love, You were not just flashing back from memory —
You were there behind, t’was the return of the romance.
Dark shadows haunt not anymore my nights and dreams,
Weary days of great wandering visit me no more.
This romance is faithful even in times when it seems
That the horizon is tainted black by such horror.
The blossoming return of romance once thought faded
Endured long even in the eternity after,
Satisfied it wholly Sacred Blood that was once shed,
Poured for mankind’s sake and appeared as best Romancer.

Rule Over My Life O Lord
Depart not from me O Mighty Lord.
Blot out not Your wisdom from my heart.
Let my ears be open to Your Word
Even if Your words pierce like a sword.
In everything, please lead and guide me
For I will always need You beside.
I submit to Your authority.
Keep me safe, let me be always free.
Upon me, please return Your favor.
Let my life be according to Your will.
Instead of shame, please give me honor.
Let me escape from all life’s horror.
Let it be that Your ways be my ways
So that I will never go astray.
Let me run successfully life’s race
Without anyone cursing my face.
In my life O Lord please rule over
And be in charge of my everyday.
Give me strength and a righteous power.
Be with me today and forever.

Sa Sisidlan Ng Aking Pagkatao
Sa biglang pagmulat, ako'y tumingala sa langit
Habang winawari ang mga misteryo ng buhay
Kung saan may mga bagay bang sadyang pinipilit
Nguni't sa kadalisayan ay hindi naging tunay.
Minsan pa nga nang ako'y nahaplusan ng liwanag
At sa init nito sumabay ang aking paglakas,
Ninais kong makita ang pinagmulan ng sinag
Hanggang sa silangan Sya ay matagpuan na wagas.
Sapagka't sa dagliang pag-angal ng mga kidlat
Sinimulan kong hanapin ang huni ng umaga
Dahil sa tingin ko'y mga nakikita'y 'di sapat
May higit pa sa kasalukuyang kabanata.
At nang ako ay naligaw sa aking paghahanap
Sa isang tabi'y minabuti kong magmuni-muni
Hanggang ang pagtila'y makita ko sa mga ulap
Para ang aking sarili ay masinagan muli.
Ngayon, sa sumunod na paglingap sa kalangitan
Ako'y parang nakasilay ng isang munting hardin
Kung saan ako ay malayang kandong ng luntian
Habang pinakikinggan ang binubulong Nya sa'kin.
Magbuhat nu'ng simula sana'y aking napagtanto
Na ang Paraiso'y gumagabay sa bawat yapak
At Sya'y nandu'n sa sisidlan ng aking pagkatao
Pinipilit lang isuot ko Kanyang mga pakpak.
Dahil sinabi Nya sa akin na ang mga mortal
Ay Kanyang nilaan na lumipad sa himpapawid.
Nguni't nasa sa atin kung susundin ang Maykapal
Kung ngayo'y tatalima sa Kanyang buhay na tuwid.
