1. Last Love

by: J.D. Mariposa Best of friends together took a leap Now true friends ahh! feelings run deep Two hearts fused hands ever entwined

Ti's all worth the wait to care for one as kindly Never never too late to love but not blindly So, to you my friend first, my last love, i say I'll be true every and each of my waking day!

2. Last Piece in the Puzzle of My life Vic P. Yambao The sweetness of your Voice Your soul searching eyes Throw in the smiling lips Makes my life complete

Missing you,when you're gone But frozen stiff when you're around As my worthless life is now complete This dream might end... if I'll stir...

3. Who Am I Brian Joseph Sh Who am I to blindly believe that I can become parcel of this sacred ground? To pretend that I am a strong wind to guide your ever sturdy wings Who am I to change this persistent blue rain? To pretend that I can wash the sorrows away from your ever beating heart Who am I to care for this mortified soul? To pretend that sanctity ascends in my figureless touch I am none. Transcending only the littlest of existence only meager eyes could see. In the skies I plead alms to catch your merciful grace; To rescue me from this lonesome cloud of misery that I call self

Tracing You Kristina Aquino Imagine the train tracks, the train speeding away from you. We were somewhere and someone else a minute ago. So I give you this, the poet, the imagined martyr, unmoving in her seat--she is one of the firsts, she is daybreak today-it does nothing but stare back. She is so still the train stops with her. "Cubao", she mouths. Imagine the train tracks, the train speeding away from you, Cubao. We were with you some minute ago. There are buildings on the way to the end of the line, but structure eliminates the idea of a horizon. It is sad when imagined things start dying, too.

5. Friendship Vener Santos Days will pass, And things will grow old. Flowers will bloom, And soon will decay. But when friendship starts, All of the year it will remain fresh. Friends will grow old, But friendship will never. As long as we both care, It will remain young forever. Death will separate it on earth, But it will reborn in heaven.

No rest
Kyo Zapanta It's time for me to rest for a while My condition is not that good But hell, I can't seem to leave behind Whatever it is that I must do c pI know its been in overtime I shouldnt be here anymore But that workaholiart of me Seem to like the stress in store But then again by heads in pain My body is just saying no My eyes are swollen and tears are forming I could cry in stress ever so But I wouldnt cry even if I feel it For when I do Ill be okay Then I would again want to work And Ill be working for the rest of the day

7. Distillation Jan L. Velasco Watching the rain spilling down, drowning the earth below, reminds me of life's perpetual change. The storm that we dread, is a sea of kindness that lifts--the mask of (world's) avarice and sufferings and fills the thirst, up to the brim of our souls.

Now I Know
Jose Paulo Tolentino
Seven months felt like seven years and now I face my greatest fears Why before I could never wait but now I know the heavy weight. In a strange world, a mad city, it is tough to be an adult you take responsibility to bear frustration and insult There are days I would like to die life is not pretty as it seem Leave this and what do I redeem? many I have learned is just a lie They say I should create a goal Love and life is what you make it but somehow it just could not fit All I have is a hollow soul From here I don't know where to go Being an adult, now I know. 9.

Hot
Karlo Pineda A wrinkled forehead alters your fair face. Furious stares nest in your eyes--sanctuaries for nothing save fears and fires. By this time you are a swollen sun ready to punish my city with the scorching of twin hells. And in your mad radiation I am a giant sunburn. As I write this poem my heart has already exploded to myriad embers.

My unfinished verse
Ulysses Palmones You were sitting on the coach, you stole my glance My heart leaps, nowhere to run I tried to hide, pretended and lied You were just a dream Part of my foolish game. How can I disguise those sleepless nights? Where silhouette of thy beauty Humming to my serenity A glowing ember A feeling next to never. Chasing my illusion, my eventual desperation Tasted the nectar of bitterness and plan tomorrow, how to clean my mess A test to my sanity Or maybemy stupidity.. Will you came to unlock my chain? Maybe a piece of gem To replace the wedding ring A cradle to my loneliness and craziness.
