Like a Dama de Nocheng
Namumukadkad sa takipsilim,
You are a fire that
ignites at night.
Your beauty outshines
the beast of darkness
& your strength transcends
the stillness before dawn.
Hindi ikaw ang sumira,
ngunit ikaw ang nagparaya.
There is no shame
in becoming a flower
with thorns that grew
from adversity.
Like a Dama de Nocheng
kagandahan ay sa gabi
Luluhod ang makakita
sa mga talulot mong
kinulayan ng luha.
Sa dusa you'll find
the colours of your mind
& with them you'll paint
your soul still
tender from pighati
Your wounds are fresh
& gaping, still bleeding
creating a red sea
of lonely memory.
Ikaw itong alaalang
palutang-lutang sa karagatan. Sabi nila
s'ya ang nawalan,
ngunit bakit pakiramdam
mo'y nanakawan?
As you close your eyes
you see the lost glimmer
of what used to be.
The flowers that wilted
under the sun. What once
were fine blooms
has fallen
to the edge of doom.
Your heart bleeds
as it awakes mag-isa
sa kama.
Oh! Firestarter, why can't
you stop burning yourself?
