3. POEMS
HAVING SOMEONE UNEXPECTEDLY
(LOPEZ, Leodegario A. Jr.)
When I see you,
How glad I am,
I felt so shocked and was like a statuette
But this sensation I have, was just not true
Coz I knew that it’s distantly possible to
Come true
But, every time I lost you
There’s a feeling in me that I don’t know,
So unexpected, and so tenuously to be true,
Coz I’m just a poor persona that fantasise you
This feeling I have was so astonishing
Coz, the time I met you, I haven’t expect this from you
But you come to my life with no hesitation
How thankful I am having you.
Despite my sexual category you let me love you
Though, in the eyes of man it’s wrong!
But you prove to me, that any individual regardless
Of gender has the right to love and to be love.

4. MOMENT OF INSANITY
(Ramelo, Antonio)
Your mind is river in dried-up beds
Your voice of crow in shrilling tune,
Your words are rough as granule sand,
Your hands are tong in loosened joints,
Your deeds are waves of storm in dock,
Your life is paint of darkened clouds,
Then tempest too came in abound.
But here I am I all my might,
Cuddling your world around my arms,
I am in quest for all the ways,
Yet seeing you is more than lights.

5. LAST FOREVER
(COMANDANTE, Roselyn)
Love have I known as clouds known the skies
In lush of rainfall and in summer fall
In clouds filled? With sunshine, brighten each
day
I have watched waterfalls and rainbow that
Arises on
When the rainbow is in sight
I’ll see eight colors so bright
And this I found-such lovely things
To all the ways of love, that I’ve never
Known before
Each passing days, the days passing by
My flames of love doesn’t change for you
For eyes before my eyes, blooms as a
Flower
Even your smile, gives me hope and
Strength….
5
MOMENTS
(NABOYA, Lenny)
How I wish I could bring back time
When we were both together singing the
Same song,
Talking about anything
Sharing secrets, hopes and dreams,
Before the clouds turned gray
And the rain started to drop
I lost tour grip and saw it drifting apart
Until I saw your fear strained face,
I tried to pull you back but you refused
To reached on my hand
Keeping me longing until you say,
It’s time to say goodbye.
I was hurt but maybe you were right
Walking separately was better than ruin,
The memories that serves as the
Moments of your love.
8

6. You are with me that made my day brighter
In times of need, you’re at my back
In times of sorrow, you give me pleasure
I shall not feel tired
To hear your laughter in my heart like
A song
Feel in my heart your nearness, fine and
Crystals
I won’t leave you, till the last breath
Of my life.

RELATIONSHIP
(EGANO, Siegfred Arian)
For all I know
Relationship is rose
To be cultivated, to be creed,
To be protected from parasites
Relationship is crystal glass
To be cleaned all days
To be wiped-out
and till shimmering lights
Relationship is color of nature
Sometimes summer and then spring
And then winter, and then fall
But anyway it’s what counts most of all.

7. WINE
(GAMBA, Judy Ann)
I love the tips of its bottle tip
Just like the tips of your sweet lips
I love its companionship
I loved its insanity
Just like on how you drive me crazy
How I will be sober? If the alcohol
Is you?
12
YOU
(CULAS, Evangeline)
Your smiles make me flutter
Your stare feels me shiver
The presence of you, made me complete
And sense the tune of my heart beat
Beating so fast,
Deeply infatuated with someone gives me courage
To bear and to enjoy love is a privileged of someone
A promise of love is a souvenir
That you cannot let it disappear
Imagine that you were in paradise
The beauty of love made me more alive
Land of passion, love and foolishness,
Power of love is not darkness, yet kindness.

8. FORBIDDEN LOVE
(ESTRELLA, Argie)
Around, all around in this silver bar
The dark memories gather
My dread grows as the dagger of
Your word falls against my naked soul
It slays me and darkly my
Life-blood drips
To the wicked earth that is my prison
In a strange and terrible glee
Cry out why?
While death shadows takes his unwilling
Hand
Now alone in this metal bars
Crying out for mercy and full of regrets
The tears that fall upon my bleeding eyes
I do that all because of this forbidden love.
A SINFUL HAPPINESS
(SHYRA, Lucencio)
Every time your right beside me
You turn my sad world into a sweet melody
My life that full of misery
You bring hope to each passing day
The blissfulness of your personality
Encourages me that everything will be okay
The sweetness of every word you utter
All of this is worth cherished for
Our cherishing moments
Make makes me deems that everything right
Though my life was tied and bounded
In solemn vow and commitment
I know the felicity I feel
Is nothing but just temporary
Though this happiness is a sin
But I am with the other guy again.

9. THE DARKNESS
(MASINAS, Resalyn)
Darkness describes death and sorrow
And it covers the hope of tomorrow
As it always be a part
That keeps the pain insides one heart
Darkness can be as best as weapon
Like a power and be an option
Can be a tool in times of trouble
May ruins life of all
Darkness may exist sometimes
And others may brought with some price
Those hold their soul like so tight
Who shun the right and ignore its light
Darkness has its powerful side
Like scars that you can never hide
Just step out before it’s too late
And be one that makes you great.
MUSTARD SEED
(ECHON, Mary Val)
Slender beams of light enter
This darkened prison as I kneel,
Always fearful always sorrowful
Frozen here I’m waiting
Angelic forms wrought in panes of
Glass loom as dust,
Dances in the air
Forming an image in my mind
Penetrating my shamed soul.

10. TAKE ME TO THE BEACH
(PINEDA, Marienell)
The fresh air along the shore.
Roughness of the sand I used to walk just a floor.
The sound of the waves I have to hear.
It seems like it’s the sweetest songs of Bieber.
You can shout out all your pains in there.
No one can ever hear all your life’s fear.
It just keep on listening so everything you share
And immediately banishes by air.
14
I wanna lay down at the shore all day.
Savoring the moment and the sun’s ray.
Not minding how I turned to black , they say.
Just enjoy, and push the worries away.
To someone I’ll spend my life with on the day for-
ward.
Take me to the beach and you’re my safeguard.
We’re going to witness every splash of the sea water.
In every rock at the shore that scatter.

11. YOUR LAUGH
(GERILLA, Ma. Sandy)
I wish I could hear it every day,
Rhythm of that sound makes me feel
crazy
It resonates into my deepest thought
Your life give me full of hope
Day and night I heard it from you
A fairy tale that made me dream
Stones that gave me extreme
Beautiful creatures in another realm
Sweet tune lingering in my ear
The only thing that I just want to hear
The thing that I only have
Is this feeling of your life.
17
WHY
(CAIDOY, Syra Lyn)
Everytime I glanced at your vague eyes,
Feels like I’m stabbed fifteen times.
Everytime I hold your hand,
Feels like I’m thorned all the time.
Everytime I looked at your smile,
Feels like I’m hit by a truck and terribly die.
But how can you see the broken pieces,
Of me when everytime I feel unworthy.
20

12. BEATS
(Kempis, DANICA)
The joyful sound I hear
The louder it came to so near
It cast away my fear
And I begin to cheer
Here comes the beat
His walking with happy feet
Our eyes began to meet
The faster my heart beat
One day he ask my name
And then we walk in fame
My heart before in pain
And now it speaks so plain.
18
PUREST LOVE
(VILLASANTE, Roxanne)
Sighs and cheers are always felt
For fighting love on earth
It may take loose around your grip
But think above his always great!
Sometimes you’re in a solitude
In company of frosty air
But think above, his everywhere
Gives warmth of love and showered care!

13. SUNSET
(BAYALAS, Elvira)
Of this daylights’ passing,
Come with memories still raining,
On the distance skyline,
I looked into the sundown view.
Be guided of its reds and oranges hue.
But this intensified my pain,
The sun with its last breath,
Sank beneath the horizon.
As when you wore before my eyes,
Slowly fading under the endless skies.
Like the daylight, meaning its end
The sun bids adieu to the clouds,
Crossing into the lines.
Leaving me and the heavens mourn,
Like when the sun went down from
mourn.

14. PROSE

15. Last Word
Lenny Naboya
One day a girl, Cassi-
dy, who is sixteen years old,
came home from school in a
very bad mood. She had a
fight with her boyfriend that
day and it hadn’t turned out
well at all.
‘’Cassidy!” her mom yelled.
“What are you doing? You
know to do your chores when you get home! And now
you’re late!”
“Coming, Mom!” Cassidy yelled getting up and stomp-
ing towards the kitchen. “What?” she snapped as her mom
warned, “or you’ll be grounded.”
“Whatever.” Cassidy began to throw around the dishes
in the sink, trying to make as much noise as she possibly
could. A plate cracked and lacerated her hand Cassidy
cursed.
“Cassidy!” her mom exclaimed. “How dare you use that
language! Go to your room! Now!”
“NO!” Cassidy yelled, throwing down the towel she was
using to wipe the blood off her hand.
25
She pondered as she watched the silver ripples of
the shore. She looked at the horizon. The island, where she
and the old sailor had drifted, was lost in her sight now as
she saw the misty fog of early morn covering her sight to
the island. She felt the old sailor’s hand in her shoulder and
he looked at her in repentance. Those eyes were asking for
forgiveness. She hated the old sailor, and she must be hated
him, but why she gave her a sudden smile on her lips? Sud-
denly she remembered the old man’s advice when she was
on the other island. “I cannot tell you what is right and
wrong for that matter. Look and follow your heart.” This
made her a grip on the old sailor’s hand. Not so tight, not so
loose.
The two of them stared back to the horizon. The fog of
the blue basin started to deplete now. They saw from afar the
island
where
they
had
drift- ed,
and
dis-

“Say ‘no’ one more time and see what happened? Her
mom said in frown. She looked furious. “Sure!” Cassidy said
sarcastically.
“How dare you!” Her mother slapped her face and Cassi-
dy shrank back staring incredulously at her mom. She had
never hit Cassidy before.
“I hate you!” Cassidy scream before running out of the
house.
“Cassidy! Get back here!” Her mom exclaimed running
after her.
“Leave me alone!” Cassidy screamed, running across the
street. “I hate you!” she screamed again. She continued run-
ning until she heard the sound of screeching tires and
scream. She turned around, hoping that it wouldn’t be what
she’d thought. People were hurriedly crowding around Cassi-
dy’s mother who was now lying in the middle of the street, in
a pool of blood gushing from her head. “No!!!” Cassidy
screamed, running over and pushing through everyone to
kneel by her mom. “Oh no, No!!!” Her mom wasn’t moving
and breathing anymore. She’s dead.
Cassidy tripped back her head and wailed to the sky, sob-
bing so hard. She couldn’t believe, the last words she had spo-
ken to her mother were “I HATE YOU”
The Lost Island
Argie Estrella
A ship sank in a storm. Five survivors scrambled aboard the
two lifeboats. The young woman and the old man were in one boat,
and the woman’s fiancé and her best friend on the other boat. During
the storm the two boats were separated. The boat, where the woman
was riding, had washed ashore in an island and was wrecked.
On the next, day the weather was cleared. The woman in all
her leverage tried to find her fiancé but her search was all in vain.
She didn’t find him. In a distance she saw another island. Hoping to
find her fiancé there, she begged to the old sailor to repair the boat
and row her to the other island she saw. The sailor agreed in a condi-
tion that she should have sleep with him at night.
While distraught, she went to a nearby old man, who she knew
by chance, for an advice. “I cannot tell you what is right and wrong
for that matter.” He said. “Look and follow your heart.” the old man
added. While confused and desperate, she agreed to the sailor’s con-
dition.
The next morning, the sailor fixed the boat, and rowed her to
the other island. When they reached the shore, she jumped out of the
boat as she saw her fiancé from afar. She ran up to him and gave him
a warm hug.
She started crying as she told him what had happened be-
tween her and the old sailor. However, she was shocked to hear him
confessed about the sudden affair he and her best friend had com-
mitted during their isolation in the island. She wanted to be in rage
but it felt her like no reason to do. She pushed him away and said
nothing as she left him with her girl best friend.

17. Never Give Up
Elvira Bayalas
There is a young man
who is dead broke and unable
to find a work, leaving his fami-
ly in dire straits. Because of
many problems that he was un-
able to cope with, he climbed to
the roof of the twenty-story
building. He stepped off the
edge and fell to the ground.
It is sad to hear such story, that someone chose to end his life
because of the thought that it was the best way to scape his life’s
problems.
Adulthood, no doubt can be awful with numerous challenges
lining up like ants. Life is carpeted with trials and tribulations of all
kinds. We are always confronted with manifold problems to which we
felt like no absolute solutions and no one could help us. We struggle.
We experience dark times that bring us sense of hopelessness.
The main reason why we sometimes fail to solve our problems
is that we easily give up trying to find the solution. Difficulties and
obstacles sometimes overwhelmed us. However, St. Paul put in order
to overcome them, we must “fight the good fight”, and we must en-
dure hardships. We must be strong and tough in the middle of the
storm.
Sometimes, we wait for someone to come along and make
things happen for us. We failed to exert effort to work out the prob-
lem we have. Though sometimes we may not able to see a light in
the midst of darkness, we should keep moving and be still.

Husssh… Pssst... and
Think
Ramelo, Antonio
Many of us live in happiness of intervening and
minding other people’s life. We give time in gossiping
and laughing the faults of others. One more thing, and
for the worst, we mock others in the happiest ways we
want. Now you surely at the verge of being hypocrite if
you deny this act.
Its innate and a part of human’s life that person
intervenes other person’s life. We are born and meant to
become intervener to have the courage to talk and to
give our perspectives and stands. However, we always
end up exploiting this innate capacity to ridicule, de-
grade and defame our fellow-men based on the intended
and unintended bad and abhorring acts.
For a person busy of minding other people’s life,
it is true for him to often not give a piece of time to shut
– up and contemplate for awhile. Have you think about
yourself before bushing other people? Aren’t you com-
mitted erroneous acts? Aren’t you have flaws in life?
Think of it, no one is perfect. So, look to the left, and
look to the right, then husssh… pssst… and think.
