Love Thoughts

What If’s and Doubts

By: Quenelyn J. Basco

Staring, looking at the ceiling

Laying down my body on the bed

Not moving an inch from every corner of the room

Can’t stop chasing the fact that the piece of me is gone

Thinking of the what if’s on my mind

What if I didn’t let you go? What if you didn’t let go?

 Will you stop thinking of me? Or, Are you happy with somebody else?

Are you happy that I’m gone?

Confidence flew away from me, the feeling of insecurities engulfs

You’re pretty, beautiful, gorgeous &... but you’re not enough!

It’s not enough! Not enough to fill his ego

His pride and ego has swallowed him, there’s no hope.

Cold drops fall down from my cheeks,

I doubt myself and hurt the me. I made a mistake.

 Mistake for not following my doubts upon choosing you,

Because choosing you is my greatest regret.

I should have not given you a chance.

I should have not given you my all.

Me that once full of cheerfulness and joy,

Was now taken away from me.

Are you happy now?

Happy to see someone broken. Pathetic!

Entering into relationships with no thoughts of forever

Just a show off!

All I said to myself, what a fool you’ve been?

You have been blind by the love and fake promises

Even the moon laughed at him, the stars made fun of him

‘Cause he can’t even catch any of them.

Such bluffs to be made thy oneself,

What a pity? it made me want to puke

For all you have said to me are all lies! Nothing is true!!

How can a person say he loves you yet doesn’t fulfill what he said?

So foolish of thee,

To believe such words that are trash,

I bet he has eaten a thousand needles

For such blasphemy cannot be forgiven.

No more what if’s, no more doubts

Thoughts came up to me, I am enlightened

No more rush love. No wilder thoughts

I saw this thy self once foolish and now no more!

I have forgiven him from all he has done.

Thanking the One from above for setting me free.

For He’s with me and I in Him

I can rest now with ease for tomorrow.

Iniibig Mang 'di Maari

ni Quenelyn J. Basco

Isang mapangahas na damdaming 'di ko masambit,

Ang mahalin kang tunay saksi ang langit

Sa paggunita ng pusong kay rupok,

Pati luha'y dumadaloy ng dugok.

Tulad ng Ilog Pasig na kay labo,

Damdamin ko sayo'y di mapaglalo

Oo nga't mahal ka yaong ito,

Pati bitui'y susungkitin alang-alang sa'yo.

Mahal ka ngunit 'di ka kayang mahalin,

Masasabing hindi pa panahon upang ika'y ibigin

Tayo'y bata opa kung uusisain,

bata pa ang puso sa pag-ibig na susuungin.

Binigyan ka man ng motibo nitong pasiring dilag, 

Hindi ibig sabihin nito'y siya'y payag

Sa pag-ibig na siya mong inalay

Hindi kayang suklian, siyang ikamamatay

Kinabukasan ang siyang dapat unahin,

Pag-asa ng bayang tulad natin

Tayo'y makinig sa payo ng nakatatanda

Huwag humalintulad sa modernong kabataan,

Pati pag-aaral, kinabukasa'y tinatalikuran

Ang pag-ibig baga'y isang laro sa kanila,

Alalaong baga'y iluluwa kapag napaso na.

Kaya't huwag na nating hayaang humantong pa sa ganito,

Kinabukasan sati't maglabo tulad nito.

Huwag hayaang maakit at kumagat sa tukso,

Ang sinumang lumapit sa apoy ay siyang mapapaso

Sa pag-ibig , maghihintay ng totoo,

Dalawang taong itinadhana sa puso.

O, Maykapal na ang nagdikta

Sa pag-ibig na wagas at kahali-halina.

Iniibig ka ng pusong kay  dalisay,

Subalit hindi pa ang aking maibibigay

Sa pag-ibig mong tapat at walang hanggang saysay'

Hintayin mo, O aking mahal, ang tunog ng dambanang 

ating pinakahihintay.

Beyond the Lines

By Desiree Mae J. Basco

My

love for you

knows no numbers

 to count, no angles to measure

and no corners to end. I love you for who

you are. No boundaries and limitations. My love for

you is not in this poem for I love you beyond these lines. As high

as the endless sky, as wide and deep as the water in the ocean. I love you

beyond these lines ‘cause you mean the world to me. The way you walk, eat, sleep,

and laugh is just pure art! An epitome of an angel sent from above.Your sweet smiles and

 beautiful eyes makes me flutter and turn me upside down. I’m just one of those billions

of little stars dreaming of a bright and shining sun like you. Though you may

 not know me, even my little’st existence, I just want you to know

through this poem that my love for you is never

ending. For my love for you is

beyond these

 lines.

143..

By: Quenelyn J. Basco

143 I must say,

For you alone complete my day

You put colors to my clouds of gray

There’s nothing more I could pray.

You are my sun in the daylight,

You are my star in the moonlight

The shining armor that might

Who’ll protect me from the fight

This is the first time I breathe,

The amazing feeling I felt

My face is turning red,

It’s a secret that I kept.

Oh! Is this what you called LOVE?

A gift from above

No clue, don’t know why?

All I know is I.L.Y.

Now I confess,

All the feelings I possess

No hide, no more

Revealing the secrets that grow

Yes baby you’re the one I chose,

The one that I love the most

Promise, now and forever I’ll stay

143 I love you,saranghae..
