Lalaki Sa Aking Tabi

Magaspang ang mga pisngi
Pintado ang mga braso
Maraming bakas ng sugat ang puso
Ng lalaki sa aking tabi

Puso ko'y nasa alapaap
Isipa'y pinananatili sa lupa
Dasal ay 'wag malunod sa pag-irog
Ng lalaki sa aking tabi

Tumatagos sa aking
kalamnan at kaluluwa
Lagablab ng kanyang hininga

Nakapulupot ng mahigpit
sa pumipintig kong dibdib
Makikisig niyang mga bisig

Ako'y naninibago
Ako'y nababahala
Subalit ako'y nahuhumaling
Sa lalaki sa aking tabi

Maraming nangirog at inirog
Mangilan ang muntikang mahalin
Subalit walang pumantay o humigit
Sa lalaki sa aking tabi

Bukas, makalawa,
maaaring magkasama
Pero lahat ng bagay ay pansamantala

Pagbabago'y tila isang
rumaragasang ilog
Lulutang ka ba o sadyang lulubog?

'Di umaasa sa magpakailanman
Pero 'di rin sa panandalian lang
Basta't masaya hangga't naririyan
Ang lalaki sa aking tabi

Panalangi'y wala sa kinabukasan
Pangamba'y nakakubli sa nakaraan
Kaligayaha'y dito at ngayon kapiling
Ang lalaki sa aking tabi

  11. Got an idea. :) Have a friend there read & translate to you. I like the thought of interpretation coming from a fellow reader instead of the author. :) Doesn't have to be our common friend. You might want to pick someone from your literary group. Have fun. Let me know what you think. (,")

  13. Goni, you cannot imagine how strongly my heart beats, eager to tell my closest friends about him. But I stop myself. Pa-luway-luwayon ko sana an emosyon ko ngonian. He who complements my life will be known when the right time comes.
