Can't

I can’t wait to grow old with you

I can’t wait to all the love in lieu 

I can’t wait for your beauty to fade

I can’t wait for my charm to deteriorate 

Might sound unromantic but that’s just it

My love for you might not be well lit

As you grow older, please don’t hold dear

To the beauty and charm we have here

As we bloom and grow as a team

I’ll be your king and you, my queen

Ikaw ang nagpapasaya mahal ko

Ikaw ang naglakas mahal ko

As I promised to Nanay Lita

I’ll care for you and always make you go “haha”

Lagi kang masaya mahal ko

Maligayang kaarawan mahal ko 

Chapter

A new chapter, I will have wrote.
Previous chapter, fully foretold.

Accumulated, power untold.

Yet untested, I don't feel bold.

Will confidence lead to the win?

Or will it really be my ruin?

Way beyond any guiding light?

Have I outgrown the final night?

Been Awhile

It's been awhile since I wrote

"Just start writing now" was told

Here's a piece of creativity

To express what is in me

Disaster-triumph foretold

Experiences I would mould

Patience and virtues unfold

Led to careers and some gold

Attachments and cravings shunned

A km I would not run

Comfort and discomfort, punt

Histories, I wouldn't want

Breath of cool air, sun's on face 

Sigh of relief, life's been paced 

I've unattached to the race

Contentment, I have encased
