The shadow of your presence looms
But I hear nothing
Nothing but the echoes of my thoughts.
When will your presence make itself come out and play
When will your presence make its way into the sun
I am tired of seeing shadows.
Shadows are nothing
Nothing but distortions of your past self
Shadows are nothing
Nothing but distortions of long gone moments.
I want to see beyond the shadows
And face the truth that is now
And face the truth that happens to be you.

‘Pag ang tao’y nabubugnot
Ang ulo’y kinakamot
Buhok sinasabunot
Talagang nayayamot.

Punung-puno ang utak
Ng patsutsada’t talak
Nais kunin ang itak
Nang matuloy ang balak.

Mata’y puno ng kuha
At nawalan ng sigla
Hindi na mahinuha
Kung bakit s’ya’y lumala.

Alaalang malungkot
Nais ibaon sa limot
Kaya paikot-ikot
Habang balot ng kumot.

Ang kawawa kong payong
Lahat ay sinusuong
Kahit anong daluyong
Siya’y tumatayong bubong.

We used to have a Suman web ring. It was because of what Dean Alfar said during iBlog. It became a joke among bloggers during that time.

Nariyan lang ang suman
Ito’y katakam-takam
Heto na’t iyong tikman
Talagang malinamnam.

I think these two should be in one post even when I didn't write them together originally.

Tikom na aking labi
Malamig na ang kape
‘la ka pa ring sinabi
Ikaw ba’y talagang torpe?

Sa iyong mga mata
Sarili ay nakita
Pag ikaw ay kasama
Pagsinta'y nadarama

Planner Mode ni John Wiegley
Ngayon ni Sacha Chua
Talagang nakawiwili
Talagang nakatutuwa.

John Wiegley’s Planner Mode
Now Sacha Chua’s
Truly captivating
Truly amusing.

Emacs na mahiwaga
Sa Planner natutuhan
Madali pag mat’yaga
At mayro’ng kabuluhan!

Mysterious Emacs
was learned through Planner
Easy if you persevere ...
(I forgot how I translated it and the one on the archive is incomplete)

These tanaga seem to reflect my state of melancholy during the time I wrote them.

Nar’yan sa kalangitan
Ang maliwanag na b’wan
Talang nagkikislapan
na aking tinitingnan.

Kahit ikaw ay sawi
-’yan din ay mapapawi
Sa sumpang namutawi
-’yan din ay mababawi.

These are two separate tanaga. At the time I wrote them I was just having fun playing with words and thinking of possible tabloid-worthy poems.

Tinidor at tirador
Dala ng isang traydor
Pagpasok niya sa parlor
Tinumba ng birador.

Sa sobrang pagkainip
Sa sinakyan nilang dyip
Barkada ay naidlip
Patay sa panaginip

About books:

Mga akdang binuklat
maraming nakasulat
at isinisiwalat
kaya ako’y namulat.

About cloth:
Hinabing mga tela
makukulay na hibla
binenta sa Maynila
ngunit pera’y nawala.
