DAMned if you do, DAMned if you don’t

The Unplayed Pachelbel (2008 July)

for me and eternity
that hope of serenity
in dreams i will find
light he brought
slowly dims tonight
the kisses and i love you’s
in my memories i will keep
keys that will never be played
and notes will no longer symphonize
melody slowly fades inside
we are broken tunes
of our forevered past
now everything is out of tune
and then
ends like shattered glass

no,
this is not about love.
the warmth it gives us
while the cold wind blows,
or the smooth touch
though a wrinkle feels
your hands
sliding, gliding
through the memories
of forever lost.
droplets of rain
from the glistening eyes
of sadness?
of glee?
voices that echoes
inside the heart
whispering phrases
that lips can not speak.
scented spring
in mid november
and
the sunlight in winter

no,
this is not about love.
but the wonderful feel
that is mystery
or misery
inside,
stuck in my soul,
which i keep on denying.

sa dilim ng paligid
na ating ginagalawan
ikaw lang ang gabay
na nagbibigay daan
pabalik sa pinanggalingan
aking iniwasan
harapin ang nakalipas
ng walang talikuran

dalhin mo ako
sa aking kahapon
muli mong buksan
ang mga pagkakataon
mga bagay na nilimot
panahon na binalot
ng pait at hapdi
mga luhang idinulot

at bukas makalawa
ngiti ay makikita
mga matang nangungusap
may ningning, may kislap
ikaw ang dahilan
ng bawat ligaya
tuwa sa puso
galak ng kaluluwa

salamat sa lahat
walang sawang bulong
na narito ka pa
handa akong ibangon
munting halik
haplos at yapos
pagmamahal ko
buong-buo, iyong-iyo
