#Filipino poems

[makatangalang]

Bago matapos ang lahat

Gusto ko muna sa'yo magpasalamat

Sa tamis at alat, sa sakit, sa lamat

At sa pag-iibigang naawat

.

Pinaalala mo sa akin

Kung gaano kasarap ang magmahal

Nagawa kang pangarapin

At naising sa iyo'y maikasal

.

Ngunit sa huling kabanata

Naging tama ang maling akala

Nahumaling sa natamasa

Umasa sa kasinungalingang pag-asa

.

Ngayon, kaluluwa'y pumanaw

Sa kasawia'y humalaw

Puso'y durog, sa kalungkuta'y tubog

Kasabay ng paglubog ng araw

.

Ninanamnam ko ang sakit

Dinadamdam ko ang pait

Inaasam kong pagbalik

Winasak sa isang saglit

.

Hangad mo'y tapos na produkto

Patawad kung hindi ako buo

'pagkat kasalukuyang nasa proseso

Maraming pagkukulang, hindi perpekto

.

Bagama't sayo'y hindi sapat

Ibinuhos ko naman ang lahat

Walang tinira, hindi nag-alinlangan

Walang iniba, hindi man kasintahan

.

Nanghihinayang na hindi ko nadama

Ang pag-ibig mong kinapos

Ngayo'y mananahmik na

Ito ang huling tugma, dito na magtatapos

Paru-paro

Sa isang tahimik na gabi na hinalik ng bituin,

May munting paru-parong umaaligid sa hardin,

Tara't bumilang ka ng isa, dalawa, tatlo,

Sa lupang hinihigaan ko ito'y dumapo.

as isaac, on the walk home

please, won’t you look at me, father? i can’t erase the memory                             of the surrender in your eyes if i keep staring at your back.

you held my hand as we climbed the mountain. i felt your pulse through my palm,               your grip tight against the sweat. God has called us, you said with urgency, yet       you took       your time       as we ascended.

i can’t remember what i feared more:                      the blade,                      the flame,                      or the aftermath.

who would have made the bigger sacrifice if there was no ram in the thicket— you? me?

or mother?

is there no test of faith more agonizing than to forgive?

but even in my final breath, i would have. i love you even though i may never understand it, if only you would tell me. i don’t ask for much—

father!       please.                             soothe my shivering. i’m afraid                      the next time                      i see a knife                                    i might think                                                                it’s                                                                              love.

A heavy piece. My heart is in chaos right now. I should have never felt love in the first place.

Sa mahabang panahon

Iniisip kong hindi ako naririnig ng mga tala

Hindi ako paborito ng mga diwata

Ayaw akong pagbigyan ng tadhana

Ngunit sa kabilang banda

Paano kung naririnig naman talaga?

Paano kung paborito naman talaga?

Ayaw ka lang pala mapahamak ng tadhana

[makatangalang]

Mga paruparo saki'ng dibdib ay nagsayawan

Sa pananabik na ika'y masilayan

Damdami'y sumisigaw sa tuwa

Ngunit mga labi'y hindi maibuka

Sa mga mata mo'y naaakit

At ang magpigil sa sarili'y tila pasakit

Kung kaya't halos maulol

Nang mga daliri nati'y nagbuhol

Maingay man ang musika sa paligid

Boses mo naman ang nagsisilbing himig

Handang humiram ng lakas sa serbesa

Mahalikan lang ang kaharap na prinsesa

Nais kang makasama magdamag

Sa'yong yakap ay 'di kakalag

Sa oras ay makikipaghabulan

Sa araw ay makikipagtaguan

Kailangan ba maging tula upang maalala mo?

Matalinghaga, may tugma, may sukat bawat sulok

Saan ang lugar ng mga karaniwang gaya ko?

Direkta, malaya, at sa langit ay tuldok

Kakayahan sa pagkalimot, tuluyang ginamot

Anong espesyal at mga tula'y 'di mo malimot?

Damdami'y ibunyag, gaano man kakomplikado

Kailangan ba maging tula upang maalala mo?

- SI TULA, ANG MAKATA

"The ends justify the means"

Even if the end is land built on bloodshed?

Putting natives in jail for their genes

Calling them dangerous, when they're all dead

And you are proud of this land?

Proud that it wasn't yours?

Proud that you errode it to sand?

Proud that many died in the fores?

You glorify the ones who justified the deaths

The ones who raped and oppressed

The ones who took so many native breaths

The ones who called the guardians of the land "pest"

The cloth of glory soaking the blood

The blood of those who treated the land well

The ones who you killed and left in mud

The ones who you kidnapped to sell

They were guardians of this land

They had so much history and culture

They were forced to have skin burned in brand

They were forced to suppress their fervour

Even now peoples like them are being killed

Being killed like animals once again

Graves and holes all filled

For an oppressor looking for glory for their men

But we will get it all back

We've had enough of your need to sack

We will rise again to reclaim our lands

Heal the beaches and sands

Bring back the buffalo and plains

Regrow the forest reclaim its reigns

Allow the old culture and history to return

Correct corrupted history and to relearn

We are stewards of our lands and home

We are brethren and kin

We will one day be able to freely roam

And look back at all the blood and sin
