To Aim From Me

Writing on the Edge (Mount Pulag - March 1, 2009)
If Only

If only my eyes can paint what it see,
I'll capture this moment to last forever;
The gentle breeze, the clouds, the trees,
The thoughts of you and me together.

I'll paint all the places I'd gone to,
And show you things you never knew.

If my heart can beat the happiness I feel,
It'll always beat the same -
Tip tap. Tip tap. Tip tap tip.
Can you hear your name?

Nothing makes a special beat or two,
Than the simple joy of seeing you.

If what I hear and what I feel
Can be made to last a lifetime,
I'll cherish hearing your laughter
And feel your arms in mine
Knowing there'll be more next day
And all the days thereafter.

If eyes can paint what it see...
If hearts can play beats of glee...
If smiles and hugs are for eternity...
If only.

But they can not.
And all ll I can do is write what I see;
Describe what I feel;
Speak of moments I can recall from memory.

Only letters are availabe to me.
I can only write my heart out.
And if these letters can only shout.
It will do...

"I love you,
If you only knew!"

Started brainstorming and writing bits and pieces of this poem during our two-day trek to Mount Pulag (I always keep a notepad handy on most of my lakwatsa). I thought I'd share this first while I'm still writing the travel journal I wrote during our climb.

Sa mga kasama ko na Team AIM sa Pulag, konting hintay na lang. Sinusulat ko na yung trek diary naten! Hahaha!
