Danlourd - the author of this poem


DANLOURD A. DE ASIS
- The author of this poem written in Filipino language, is an eligible bachelor with a stable career in AIG Shared Services as a Systems Analyst. DL, as fondly called is a music enthusiast with a gifted vocal chords according to some fanatics (these include his close friends and family, LOL!) and loves bar-hopping, backpacking (in and out of the country), going to the Gym and sweating out (aiming for an impressive ABS), taking snapshots (has an eye for photography), a bit hopeless romantic and has a talent for writing poetry deeper than depth like this one:


Totoo,
Lahat ng simula'y may katapusan
Kadalasan, hindi 'happy ending'
Ngunit walang lugar ang pagsisisi
Sa kwento ng tunay na nagmamahal

Sapagkat,
Sa iyo ko natutunang umibig
Pag-ibig na kayang tumanggap
Pag-ibig na hindi makasarili
Pag-ibig na nagbibibigay

Sa iyo ko rin naranasang ibigin
Taliwas man sa nakasanayan,
Isang napakasarap na pakiramdam
Hindi masukat, hindi maipaliwanag

Ngunit,
Sa iyo ko rin nadama ang lungkot
Pugtong mga mata, pagal na puso
Na dinadala hanggang humimbing
Nalunod sa kalaliman ng panaginip

Ayaw ko man, kailangang sumuko
Hindi dahil nawala na ang pag-ibig
Kundi dahil nawala na ang sariling
Matagal bago ko muling natagpuan

Oo,
Naiisip pa rin kita, hindi ko ikakaila
Ikaw ang unang taong hinandugan ko
Ng pagmamahal na labas sa kadugo
Iyo na ang isang bahagi ng pagkaako

Ang ako na kailanma'y di matatakot
Subuking muli ang sayaw ng pag-ibig
Ang ako na marapat kong unahing mahalin nang taos, nang buung-buo

Totoo,
Lahat ng katapusan ay nagbubukas ng bagong simula
Sasalubungin ang hamog sa pagkagat ng umaga
Nang maipagpatuloy ang malayo pang paglalakbay
Bitbit ang pawang masasaya't masasalimuot na karanasan

Ngayon, handa na ako, 
Tila isang paslit na nananabik sa kung anong surpresa 
Ang isisiwalat nitong buhay, na lagi't laging buhay
Upang masaksihan ang katotohanan ng pagmamahal

      ... at ang tulang ito ay nagsasaad ng TOTOO nyang nararamdaman sa kasalukuyan at batid ko kung gaano kalalim ang kanyang pinagdaanan.

    Lahat ng mga nangyayari ay may dahilan at kung ito'y ating pagdaraanan, tayo ay mas magiging handa sa hinaharap.

      ... at tagos sa kaluluwa. Kapag tayo ang nagmahal nang tunay at nalasap ang pait ng pagkabigo, parang katapusan na ng mundo. Haaayyyy!

      PAGAL means TIRED or exhausted. Sometimes when we LOVE, we feel tired. Tired not because we continue to share that special feeling with someone... but we feel tired forgiving the same mistakes.

      ... at habang tayon ay nabubuhay, patuloy na titibok ang ating PUSO para magmahal kahit paulit-ulit na masaktan.

      Ito ay gawa ng aking kapatid na mahilig sumulat ng mga tulang nasa wikang Filipino.

      Kung mahusay lang akong maglapat ng tunog at marunong mag-gitara man lang. Maganda nga itong maging isang kanta.
