MALIGAYANG PAGBATI

MALIGAYANG PAGBATI
by Jonathan Paul Diaz


Kumusta ka aking mahal na kaibigan na minamahal niya?
Napakanta ka ba sa aking panimula? Malamang ikay tumatawa na
Nais ko ipaalam sa iyo na ikay aking nilimot na
OO kaya basta marinig ko pangalan mo akoy napapatalon pa

Limot na kita, burado sa aking isipan
Pero yung kamukha mong artista lagi kong pinagmamasdan
Sino ka nga ba ulet? Bakit kamukha mo wallpaper ko?
Alam ko artista ito pero sabi nila kahawig lang daw niya ito

Ako din dapat limutin mo na
Wala ako kwenta at tutulugan pa kita
Ibaon sa limot at burahin nang lubos
Pero may tanong ako, nabuo mo na ba si Optimus?

Lahat ng kulay berde aking iniiwasan
Paborito mong kulay kasi at yun ang mababaw na dahilan
Pero paglabas ko ng bahay at sa paligid mapapatingin
Kay dami daming puno, ayaw ko naman makasuhan ng illegal logging

Kaibigan wala man ako kwenta pero hindi kita sinaktan
Forever dapat yon pero ngayon di mo na malalaman
Alam mo ba akoy nanligaw at panay sampal ang inabot at sabunot sa ulo
Pagkat nung akoy nagtapat sa kanya ang sabi ko "I Monica you"

Tanda mo pa ba yung talulot kaibigan kong Ikang?
O kaya yung tula tungkol sa tunay kong kayamanan?
Lahat ng aking nilikha di lang panay salita
Galing lahat sa puso, ahem! English at tagalog pa!

E ano kung may magalit nagsasabi lang ako ng totoo
Nais lang naman kita pasayahin sa nalalapit na kaarawan mo
O siya kaibigan dito na ako magwawakas baka sumakit na ang iyong mata kababasa
Sa panghuli, sa wikang banyaga
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONICA!

October Fourteen

October Fourteen
by Jonathan Paul Diaz


I am not superstitious and i dont believe in fate
But there is something special about this certain date
Two years ago exactly on October Fourteen
I wrote a story entitled, "A Walk with Caileen"

For seven days i was engulfed making this story
Writing from the heart, basically it was about me
The story was more of a dream but not lacking emotion
It reflected my current state, I was ready to move on

Caileen was a girl and she was only seventeen
Unconsciously in the story her birthday was October Fourteen
Pretty, intelligent, kind hearted, talkative and sweet
Who would have thought i character i created i would meet

Exactly six months after finishing the story
The real life Caileen suddenly texted me
At first it was not clear but something was about to unfold
A different love story that has never been told

I fell in love with the real Caileen
Whose birthday does really fall on October Fourteen
Was it premonition? How did she become real?
Or was it my heart calling out to the other heart that it could feel?

Beyond human capacity i loved her dearly
On her birthday last year i wrote her a story
"Half of Me" because that is what she is to me
The reason i smile, and the only one who brings out
the awesome in me

Wake up amateur writer, life is not a fantasy
You can never have the ending written in your story
Caileen is indeed real but someone owns her heart
The fairy tale you so desired failed from the start

Yes i am awake and bleeding from within
Living lifelessly because i can never be with Caileen
And so it was premotion but a sugar coated fantasy
Happy what is written, but in real life a tragedy

October Fourteen will always be special to me
Never forgotten, never erased, etched in my heart's memory
I wish you a happy day and please wear that majestic smile that i have seen
You will never be mine but you will always be my Caileen

October Fourteen...

...i will never be one of your roses but remember I will always be that different flower

...I will never get to dance with you with that soft love song

...but in my imagination we shall never stop dancing...to the song our hearts used to sing together...

...on your special day...

...even for a few seconds

...even if we are apart

...dance with me


...the real P.A. Kevins will always be in love with the real Caileen
