Mister

Mister was hopeless in the eye of you
Shivering stunned his point of view
As darling be on his passing grave
Holds his hand on his lonely pave

A sudden burst of joyful light
Beguiling words of wondrous sight
And so they dance below the moonlight
And so they love within a candlelight

But when everything seems to be just
When everything is all just love
All left to fade as darkness gust
Poor old mister left alone to rust

Sitting on his pave waiting for love
Trying to feel what once above
As time goes by so does Mister
Sad and longing, slowly fades to blister

As he say goodbye to once had love
Broken and in pain to whats left to have
Poor old mister poor old mister
As he say these words tether

For a glimpse of you again I’d give
For the dance you owe me i believe
For the love we lost i mourn
For the broken heart left unborn.

The Helper

There was a creature living in the dark
A no ordinary creature i mark
He was invisible
He doesn’t wanna be seen
People might say he’s mean

But this creature so good and pure
Who wants to help and give people cure
He helped dear Granpa struggling in bed
Gave him a little touch
Im okay he said

When Johnny was mugged
With a gun on his face
With a blink of an eye
The mugger went sigh

In a hot sunny day
When the water went dried
People began to panic
Crops went died
My dear little creature
Swam into the soil
Rising up in the sky
With waters splashing by

Now people began to notice
Asking my little creature to reveal
Doubtful he is from their voices
Little creature had but few choices

In the center of the town he stood
Revealing himself with his mood
But poeple were afraid and ran
Until the place was but none

Poor creature running away
In pain and in struggle
Rejected by the people he love
Crying in despair
With no one to care
He hid inside a cave unknown
Tormented and alone
As the town lost its only helper then
The creature was gone
Never to be seen again.

The Lonesome Prince

There was once a man
A simple one
Who lived alone
And none have known

In a path beneath the willow trees
There he walk to feel the breeze
Alone in the wild my lonesome prince
Everyday from birth it seems

As he walks the path towards his home
He saw a girl along his dome
Picking red roses out of his garden
A simple lady or should i call a maiden

He walked towards her
Shocked she is
As he picked a flower
And offered her bliss

My dearest prince with someone at last
Forgotten ill of the lonesome past
Fell in love in a time awhile
As their garden walks became the walking aisle

But poor dear prince naive of what’s to come
As her beloved walked away for some
Left him without saying goodbye
In pain and heartache left to die

In a path beneath the willow trees
There he walk to feel the breeze
Now its not the reason so
Waiting for his beloved though

The poor lonesome Prince
Waiting beneath the Willow tree since
For his beloved to come again
He will wait forever he doesn’t know when

There was once a man
A lonely one
Who is alone
And none have care to known.

Cagayan Warrior

Have you heard of the man?
Who defended his land for his beloved one.
Have you heard of his tale?
His little escapade under the nightingale

Long ago beside the river of Cagayan
Lies the village tribe of Mayan
And his wife Singsing
A happy couple being

But every 2nd month of the year
A demon comes out as they tremble in fear
He takes away the wives of men
As an offering to his dominions den

But Mayan wanted him to go away
“We don’t need to be someone’s prey
We are Kagay-anons!
A strong and mighty blood”

As the day goes dark
While everyone is in slumber
The demon comes out
Like an inconspicuous monster
Taking their wives and Singsing along
Putting them in his graveyard
Where they belong

As Mayan heard of his beloveds cry
He took his bolo and was prepared to die
Running towards the deepest forest
As he reached the entrance
Of the demon spawns nest

He prayed to Bathala
For strength and courage
To remove the demon
In his very wretched place

“Oh akin ginoo! Kaisog hatagi ko!
Nga akong matugyan ang yawa diri
Oh ginoo! Kaisog hatagi ko!
Nga akong maluwas ang gehigugma
sakong kasing kasing
Oh ginoo! Kaisog hatagi ko!”

As he entered the gate of demise
A voice that echoed from the abyss
“Kinsay bagag nawng nga nisulod sakong balay?Tsk2 Mayan ang maisog nga gabinugok!”

As the demon strucked him with his hand
Mayan fell but took his stand
As he saw his wife looking at him from afar
He saw a bright white star
He stood up and in battle position
Repeating his very incantation
As the demon charged with full speed
He strucked it under and made it bleed
As the demon died and the darkness gone
He saved the women for it is done

As they came back they all praised him
“Mayan ang maisog! Mayan ang maisog!
The day the couples get back together
The day love came back again
On the 2nd month of the year
Where they call February
On the 14th day of sanctuary.

For those who are wondering, Cagayan is the name of the city I grew up in. It’s full name is Cagayan De Oro City which is located in Northern Mindanao, Philippines.

8th paragraph translates to: Oh God give me strength so that I may vanquish the evil. Oh God give me strength, so that I can save my beloved. Oh God give me strength.

“Kinsay bagag nawng nga nisulod sakong balay?Tsk2 Mayan ang maisog nga gabinugok!” This translates to: Who dares enter my house? Mayan the strong but a dumb one.

5th of February

He thought of a surprise
To think it would be wise,
To give her the ring
To propose to her and sing

The joyous melody
Of their 3rd anniversary
On the 5th of February
Under a light decorated tree

She never had a clue
The demise out of the blue
A love he thought so true
Naive of their last adieu

All was ready except for her
She even has her own chauffeur
Now he’s waiting under the tree
Excited of whats to be

She calls his phone
As he cried with her tone
The words that pierced his heart
As his world turned dark

“Im sorry to tell you now
Im inlove with someone somehow
I didn’t want to end this way
I didn’t want to destroy your day
Please forgive me it happened so fast
But i am freeing you at last”

As he took a deep breath
And uttered these words
“It’s our anniversary baby
You forgot again didn’t you?
I never did anything to hurt you
Nor to destroy your heart
But why are you destroying mine?
Be happy, be happy my love”

Under the willow tree
He stayed alone
Under the willow tree
He cried and mourn
As he carved
The date of his broken heart
As love destroyed him drastically
On the 5th of February.
