Alitaptap

Sa aking paglagi
Sa liblib na bahagi
Paglalim ng gabi
Naglabasang mga palamuti.

Wala nito sa kapatagan
Sa mataong kabihasnan
Walang punong makukublihan
Walang sangang pagpapahingahan.

Sa kanilang pagsayaw
Maliliit na mga ilaw
Tila di magkamayaw
Napakarami sa aking tanaw.

Pansinin kanilang pagkislap
Bagaman at mailap
Parang talang kumukutikutitap
Sa kalangitang walang ulap.

Isang proseso ng paghanap
Paraan ng paglingap
Parang nangungusap
Naghihintay sa pagtanggap.

Ngunit
Bakit
Tila walang lumalapit
May kakulangan ba sa pag-akit?

Di ba sapat, katangiang taglay?
Maganda at mahusay
Kulang pa ba, pag-ibig na inalay?
Kailangan ba pati buhay?

Sa pagsapit ng umaga
Parang nawalan ng pag-asa
Lungkot muling nadama
Mag-isa na naman ba?

Magkaroon na sana
Palagiang makakasama
Na'ng lumbay mapawi na
Mawala ang pangungulila 

Di bale, tuloy na umaasa
Baka
Sana
Bukas dumating na sya.

During my stay
In some remote area
Deep in the night
They appear, some light
You can not see them in the plains
Where the streets are crowded
Not a tree to seek shelter
Not a branch to rest.
As they dance
Small little lights
Up and about
So many within sight.
Notice how they flicker
However shy
They're like stars, twinkling
On a cloudless sky.
A way to find
A form of search
Like speaking to each other
An invitation, awaiting
But
Why
No one heeds
Isn't it attracting?
The qualities within, is it lacking?
However pretty and everything
Isn't love enough?
My life, I need to offer?
When day breaks
Hope fades
Sadness fills
Alone again?
Hoping
For somebody
Loneliess be relieved
Companionship achieved
There is still hope
Maybe
Hopefully
Tomorrow, somebody.
