c is the speed of light

Starbucks

The stars radiateand the lights illuminatethrough time in their fatemost of them will deteriorate.

But not your love that shines so brightit stays forever and feels so rightthat whenever I need you by my sidesurely, you are there, faster than c (the speedof light).

about love and light

by Lee Hwan Nag

A thousand mile distance between usIs not enoughTo stop the love that linksAnd darken the passion that unites

The sun that shines on usThe moon aboveAnd even that star that blinksAll shed us the same light

Mensahe ni E kay BEMF

O bakit tila parang himalaUpang ika’y aking makalinyaSa pag-alis ika’y aking minamasdanHindi man lamang kita mahagkan

Iisa lang ng paroroonanNgunit magkaiba ng paraanTanggap na nilang ganito tayoSubalit ako’y di sumusukoHihimlay pa kaya sa tabi mo?

Lost in DarknessInnominate

What is left to love,When all is lost and forgotten.Where would our hearts beWhen all that we are is an abyss.How do we lose this consuming darkness,When our only light is at its end.Who else do we run to,When in the end there is no one but you and me.



The wish of the sunL

I've always liked how you gazed at the moonI've always envied how you admire the glow of her lightI wish that somedayYou would look at me the way You looked at the moon

light on love7

by Tinywings

Though hatred and darkness may seem endless,And struggling seems pointless;Never desist from the throes of agony,For love and light shall emancipateYou from the manacle of tragedy.

The Milky Way's Love Letter to AndromedaK

Roses are redViolets are blueWhen I move closer to you at a fast- enough speedThe roses turn blue



Love of the Great I AmM.P.

The I Am spoke, and light shone firstMarvelous are His handiworkThe I Am took a lowly formTo lift us from our greatest fall

Yet I rebelled, spat on His faceI crushed His heart, I mocked His painHe took the fall, gave up His lifeLaid dead in dark to give me light

Amazing love, I can't containHe swept my darkness and my shameAmazing grace, He washed me whiteThrough Him I scatter all His light

by Yellow

DilimSakit at pighati ang aking nadaramaTuluyan na ba akong magiging mag-isa?Aking mundo’y nabalot ng kadilimanKailan kaya makakalaya sa aking kulungan?LiwanagIka’y dumating sa buhay koTinulak kita’t sinabing “lumayo”Ngunit ang pag-ibig mo’y hindi sumukoNagbigay liwanag sa aking mundo.

by Lee Hwan Nag

Sa paglisan ng arawWalang ibang nais kundi iyong ilawSa pagyakap mo ako ay uhawAt sa ngiti mong sadyang pumupukaw



The Blinded Minstrel

When two hearts converge,What once was blurred

Comes intoFocus.Love,

Though itMay fade and

Last for but a momentWe are changed forevermore

Light on LoveYellow

Sa tuwing ika’y aking nasisilayanPagbilis ng pintig ng puso’y aking nararamdamanKung pwede lang sana mag-refract ang tibok ng pusoUpang sa ganoo’y bumagal naman ito.

Hanggang sulyap na lang ba ang magagawa koBakit ba sobrang torpe ng isang tulad ko?Kung ilalabas ko ba ang feelings ko sayo,Magrereflect ba ito patungo sa aking puso?

Oo na’t sabihin mong marami ang ating pagkakaibaNgunit alam kong hindi ito magiging hadlang sa ating pagsasamaAng isang relasyon ay parang interferenceConstructive man ito o destructive, ang mahalaga ay mahal natin ang isa’t isa

Bago mo pa tawagin ang pangalan koSimbilis ng liwanag, ako’y tatakbo sa tabi moLahat ng ipagagawa mo’y gagawin koMakuha lang ang matamis mong “oo.”

Kulay ng Pag-ibig 1st part

Yellow

Itim at puti, iyan ang aking buhayNgunit pag-ibig mo saki’y nagbigay ng kulayAng dating puso na naghahanap ng tirahanNgayo’y nakahanap na ng tutuluyan.

Ang pag-ibig mo’y may limang kulayBawat isa ay may kahulugang taglayPula, dilaw, luntian, asul at lilaBawat isa’y nagbigay sa akin ng sigla.

Simulan natin sa kulay na pulaKulay ng iyong dugong umapaw sa lupaIto’y nagsisilbing paalalaNa ang buhay mo’y inalay upang ako’y makasama.

Dilaw naman ang kumakatawanSa masasayang ala-ala na aking naranasanBawat tagumpay at kasiyahan, ika’y nandiyanPag-ibig mo ang nagbibigay lakas sa aking katawan.

Sumasalamin ang kulay luntianSa mga dagok na aking napagdaananNi minsan ay di mo ako iniwananLaging sinasabing “ako’y kasama mo magpakailanman”


Kulay ng Pag-ibig 2nd part

Yellow

Asul ang simbolo ng aking kapayapaanMagulo man ang mundong aking tinitirhanAng puso ko’y kakalma na ng tuluyanDahil ang tinig mo ang siyang nagbibigay ng katahimikan.

Walang makakapaghiwalay sa ating dalawaIto ang iyong pangako, ang iyong isinumpaPag-ibig mo sa akin ay magpakailanmanDahil lila ang kulay ng walang hanggan.



by Q

Not in a crowd we know ourselves best.Pure self-acquaintance happens in solitude and deep silence.But life is a celebration when being spent with others.

Once the sun settles down, a candle light may be your only guide.But if we put together our candle lights,we become the stars as what we gaze through the night sky.

light on love16

by Lee Hwan Nag

I still remember the dayWhen everything became bright as the sunFor a moment I was looking your wayThen I realized you're the one

Your eyes sparkleAnd your smile shinesYou're the only one I needIn this dark world of mine

by Lee Hwan Nag

I may not touch youBut with certaintyThe photons that hit youReach my entiretyI might not have the courageBut I must sayYour reflection is enoughTo brighten my day



by Beetle

A firework, you are not -- swiftly fleetingbursts of lightbeautiful but temporaryloud but fadingEvanescent.A star, maybe --against the deep dark night skyliving beyond its deathtranscending lightyearsbursting into wild flamesthen retreats into an abyss.

I've always envied the sunAnd how it brightly shines your dayBut I never thought I'd be much luckierFor you to look at me that way


Her Eyes Sparkle in Five WaysParaluman

One is when she laughs hard,So hard she catches her breath;And then after she’ll paint a smileThat’d keep you frozen for a while,

Next is when she’s being politeAnd greets people with her light;She’s captivating, she’s warm;Only a stone can spurn her charm

Third is when she sees food and savors whatever’s on her plate;She’s very cute when she’s eatingDoesn’t give a damn with her weight

Fourth is the kind of sparkleI am much afraid to see;It’s when her tears create the twinkleRefracts her glow and glee

The last is definitely my favorite,The kind of sparkle no one can imitateThe kind of sparkle I wish I could have;That beautiful sparkle when she talks about the people she loves.


by iii

As night falls, the light goes out,So does our love, where has it gone?Hoping the hurt disappears at dawnand love shines upon us once more.

light on love22

by MeikoIn a crowd that’s gray, there was light and you My life since then was lighten tooLike the fireflies in every mountain where I goOr the bioluminescence in every deep I dive into.

Just like the sunlight, that freshens me upOr the moonlight that calms me downYou’re everywhere I go, everywhere I amBecause my love it’s you that light up my life.

IllusionP.Name

Your eyes glitter with an ocean of love

But in their reflection I saw her- a shadow of me

And I realize that our feelings are but a mirage

Of lies I let myself believe

Of lost your senses failed to comprehend

Of a future we wish never to see



Oh Light!Dust

You were there when my universe started. Beneath your soul you let me see. No, you let me feel!

You were there so that I do not feel alone Giving your warmth. Touching my soul.

And when my universe collapses, I know you will still be there.Clutching, the very fabric of me.
