There are rivers far from each others’ flow
Those two rivers with different directions
In the same time share the same glow
Rivers of clean and undoubtful affections.

The river from north comes forth with it’s grace
And the river from south comes forth with gentleness
Different strokes of flow in one same day
With the hope to face tomorrow’s challenges.

The rivers were bound to cross each other’s path
And meet in a direction they ought to go
The day came that they need not to be alone
And share their flow in oneness of the ocean’s draw.

In the sea of emotions where differences dwell
Makes the ocean set in peacefulness and truth
And the days that passed were full of warmth
Yet on the other side of the ocean was to part.

The ocean separated in two other rivers
But they are much different from before
Because of the seabed they shared for a time
‘Till they meet again in the same ocean floor.

Another reason for me to feel inferior. I never really got into writing poems. I don’t think I have the talent and the words to back me up.

I am not sure I was able to get what you were trying to get across. I am dumb when it comes to these things so that is not your fault. But I do think you were good, considering you wrote this back in 1999.

Tsk…

Now you already got my heart pseudo…

Para akong nakikinig sa mga salitang nasa tip lang ng tongues ko…

As if I am already reading the articles na nasa point ng ballpen ko…

I do not keep records..

Thats the difference lang siguro…

My friends often ask me kung bakit ako nagtatapon ng mga journals, at notepads ko…

(not to say, kung bakit ako nag de delete ng blog accounts ko…)

I’d rather throw those stuffs away… kesa unti unti kong makita silang nawawala (o nasisira)…

ganun…

Aw, what more can I say. I really appreciate your kind words.

Big difference… kasi I call myself “the garbage collector”. I don’t know, I just keep all my stuff. Even those from my elementary days. Anything that I suppose has some sentimental value (especially, tissue papers, receipts, etc. that I had my scribbles on).

I wonder why you deleted your blog. In connection to the last part of your commnent… nasisira. Hmn.

(One day, I am sure I might repost something that most of the names in my blogroll have already read. My blog accounts are scattered… a total of 8.)

uu… simula elem hanggang mid college.. nagtatago din ako ng mga bagay na sentimental sa akin: pero biruin mo: andami dami ko nang gamit na naitago sa loob ng almost 12 years?… yng iba… nasisira na lang ng hindi ko kagustuhan… (dahil sa weather, sa luma… etc,) haiz… nakaklungkot lang ako na nakikita ko silang nasisira… basta ganun.. sabi nga: it is better to burn out … tah to fade away…

Yep, weather weather lang din yan. lol

Hmn. Nakakalungkot nga naman makitang unti-unting naglalaho ang mga minsang pinahalagahan mo. Minsan naiisip ko… Sila kaya pinahalagahan din nila ang mga nagdaang taon? Emotero.

Anyway, I’m still wondering why you chose to delete your blog. Wala pa atang 2 months old yun.
