Talinhaga: English and Filipino Poems

Ma. Marjory Say

My inspiration to become a better guy

in times of my trouble and my weakening

"I'm contented with Her." said I.

This passion of I for Her began

from a brief conversation

A simple one -- turning nothingness into

an uncontrollabe outburst of affection

That grows more and more hesitant

everytime She caught my attention --

The evening star of my immeasureable sky

is the most perfect of all creation.

She is Ma. Marjory Say.

As my life progresses and as this love

for Her never ceases

To improve, I am ready and willing to

prove that I can, nevertheless,

Be moved -- by factors such as fiend,

such as gossips acting wind

Such as downers "Do not try." --

I won't let go like I never had been.

Yes. I badly hurt myself, with goodbye.

Suddenly, a ghost of the past ressurected

itself and took Her away from me

For this villain is a part of her

I could never disagree

With a dreadful capability to rule over,

it brought me down into my knees

As I cry and watch Ma. Marjory Say --

now a possession of the beast --

She's gone. Alone was I.

Struggling with the fact that She left

and that I must find another

Woman -- that can make my heart beat

once again -- I ignored this manner

For giving up is omitted on my options,

and for I, She's all that matters

"Haist!" I grasped for breath and I sigh

"She's never mine. She's never my lover."

This will be the day that I die.

A strange voice then whispered in my

ear; Intriguing and provoking

That I must not let my hand to

slip away from this daydreaming.

He is Optimism -- a friend that fuels

anybody who believes in him --

Who holds their hands up high,

who lights all lives with a glowing dim --

"I believe in you." Said I.

I can dissemble no more and must

reassemble my life that's currently disabled

Trying to forget this unimaginable

thought that seems very impossible

To overcome -- erasing the past

means living a new life at once --

Freedom at last but my spirits still fly --

spirits of love, inspiration, and hindrance.

Me, myself, and I.

For this latter, I must retain my

consciousness to fight forever

To pursue my dream of She and

I to be together

This solitary man is sentenced

to love her before, now, and after

There'll be no repetition of goodbye

because I really love the girl

Whose name is Ma. Marjory Say.
