No puedo entender (12/14/2018)

No puedo entender la situación.

¿Por qué nos quieren separar?

Sé en mi corazón que no hice mal.

Sólo expresé mi amistad.

¿Hay algún error en ello?

¡Díganme si hay algún error en ello!

No, no quiero terminar esta amistad.

Porque nos queremos mucho.

Y esto es raro.

¡Sepan que la amistad que tenemos es un regalo de Dios!

I DON'T CARE (Aug. 1, 2018)

sally_gallego — Sun, 02 Sep 2018 05:41:07 GMT

I DON'T CARE (Aug. 1, 2018)

I don't care if I am hurt by any.

I don't care if my heart lacerates.

I don't care if I weep blood.

I don't care if I am being chopped.

What I care the most is you.

The lacerations, the heartaches,

The blood weeping, the body chopping.

I think I deserve those things

Because I am over-all wicked and wretched.

No tantamount of mercy to be shown

No compassion and love to be felt towards me.

But you, you are above merciful, compassionate and loving.

You love me in spite of my flaws.

You never stop showing me your mercy

And compassion even how frail I am.

Now my heart is in compunction .

Literally, I feel guilty and amazed at the same time.

And I am hopeful that one day you will draw me to the perfection of your love.

That I will be in your bosom,

Singing forever of your mercy and tremendousness.

Hit it off

sally_gallego — Fri, 31 Aug 2018 06:53:36 GMT

Hit it off

It's flabbergasting to see myself

hitting it off with you immediately.

A short period of getting along with you

did not make a hindrance to be close to you.

Despite the fact that the time we spent together

was short, we bonded strongly.

Your saccharine grins and well wishes

have touched my innermost being

and played a big part in my recovery.

My bleak frame became alive.

It's like I drank clarré.

I got drunk happily.

Humiliation

sally_gallego — Thu, 17 May 2018 07:57:04 GMT

Humiliation

I begged you for another chance

Hoping that our conflict would be fixed

I prostrated before you

Swallowing my pride,

I humiliated myself just to win you back

But all my efforts went down the drain

My heart had been deploring for weeks 'til it quietened

I am now reminded that life is nothing but a continuous chain of separations

That nothing remains constant in this world.

That all things need to pass for us to see the light in darkness

That to experience agony is to be able to see the joy in sorrow

And to keep loving without counting the costs.

Contemplation

sally_gallego — Sat, 24 Mar 2018 01:06:47 GMT

Contemplation

One quiet morrow in my solitary frame

I noticed your exquisite presence

You joined me in my moment

You got my hands

From my sitting position you made me stand

I rested my hands on your nape

Accompanied by the sweet music

Of the rustling air and chirping of birds,

We started to dance

Till we reached the zenith of the mountain

It looked like I was in paradise

That with you I couldn't feel

the sensualities of the earth

Only the joyfulness that can't be bought by anything,

overwhelmed my feeling.

Aridity (Dec. 22, 2015)

sally_gallego — Sat, 24 Mar 2018 00:03:01 GMT

Aridity (Dec. 22, 2015)

Heaves of sigh

Faith runs dry

Aridity strikes me again

I am too tired to go on

You hide yourself once more

I feel alone, like a gloomy morrow

I parch like a riverbank in the desert

I wait for a downpour, enough to sustain me

I am very weak without your presence

I can't carry my cross without you

Please come on to me

Come on to home, come on to my inner room

Please do not delay on showing yourself to me

I can't work out my tasks

My confidence is failing me

I am betrayed by my weakness

And I always yearn for your embrace.

Nobody (03-15-18)

sally_gallego — Mon, 19 Mar 2018 07:00:17 GMT

Nobody (03-15-18)

Nobody speaks

Nobody is here except me

Nobody is willing to comfort me

Nobody has a heart of gold

Nobody is a nobody

Has a body but doesn't seem to have a body

Can a nobody be a somebody?

For sure a somebody can be a nobody

What do you think?

Could you help me think about how to have a helping hand?

A helping hand?

What?

A hand that stretches toward the poor soul.

I am heaving sighs

Anybody wants me to die

Love (March 15, 2018)

sally_gallego — Fri, 16 Mar 2018 07:18:41 GMT

Love (March 15, 2018)

The love that I first felt was sweet as.

The aroma of its first sweetness sated my sense of smell.

The love, with its sweet-smelling odor created excitement and exhilaration in my soul.

Made my heart leap like a deer who was leaping upon seeing the spring water.

But the feeling of delight that love caused won't stay constant.

Love has its other cryptic nature of sorrowing my soul.

That the dulcet pleasure it created commences to end.

Bitterness and sorrow takes over.

The once aromatic state turns into dismality.

The vigorous soul languishes.

Melancholy

sally_gallego — Tue, 13 Mar 2018 02:45:42 GMT

Melancholy

Oh melancholy, why won't you go away?

Why do you want to stay for so long?

Honestly, I am struggling, but they won't notice how you hit me so hard every day.

I always try to stay calm and to look tranquil.

That neither my forehead wrinkles nor my eyes blink, but deep inside my heart it pricks.

Does this mean, I am important to you?

Does this mean, I am loved by you?

Melancolía

sally_gallego — Tue, 13 Mar 2018 02:27:45 GMT

Melancolía

Oh melancolía, ¿por qué no te vas?

¿Por qué quieres permanecer por tanto?

Honestamente, estoy luchando, pero no notan cómo tú me pegas

tan duro todos los días.

Siempre intento mantener la calma y parecer tranquila

Que mis arrugas de la frente ni los ojos parpadean,

pero muy dentro mi corazón pincha.

¿Significa esto que soy importante?

¿Significa esto que soy amado por ti?

Wicked

sally_gallego — Thu, 08 Mar 2018 05:25:36 GMT

Wicked

You are nice to me, but I've never payed your friendliness back.
You always comfort me, but in return I'm just a pain in your ass.
I was supposed to love you not hurt you.
I was supposed to adore you with your might, but I was cold as ice.
I am wicked and will still be wicked without your loving gaze and holy grace.

Worthless Stone (2017)

sally_gallego — Thu, 08 Mar 2018 05:02:28 GMT

Worthless Stone (2017)

I am like a worthless stone being thrown at the bulwark.

I must be strong to endure so many falls.

My hardiness is only skin deep, it is easily broken.

Now, I don't understand.

Why am I still being thrown around?

Why can't I continue living untouched?

Gibbering 2017

sally_gallego — Thu, 08 Mar 2018 04:50:53 GMT

Gibbering 2017

Life changed, people changed

Some friends left, other stayed

Family was destroyed because one person left

The faster our life progresses, the sooner we'll die

We aimed high at bygones. We succeeded in our aims.

We failed in many ways, but we got up again as if nothing happened.

The wound imprints remain fresh.

Life is hard when you're going to delve it.

Life can be at sixes and sevens,

its abstruseness is fatal

Well, I am just gibbering.

Trying to think sensibly out of my being insensible. Blah blah..

Anhelo (Mi canción)

sally_gallego — Mon, 19 Feb 2018 06:22:31 GMT

Anhelo (Mi canción)

Siento que....me estoy hundiendo

No hay esperanza en mi pensamiento

Hay una porción de mi corazón

Que siente laceración

Y la otra parte siente...alegría con consolación

Estoy anhelando tu presencia oh señor

Recurro a ti como mi gran final selección

Llena mi vacío con tu ferviente amor

Y permitirme ser quemado

Y consumado con afición

Neverending toil (Feb.17, 2018)

sally_gallego — Sun, 18 Feb 2018 21:15:40 GMT

Neverending toil (Feb.17, 2018)

Life for me is a neverending toil. I toil for the perfection of my actions. I toil for love, and the realization of my desire to commune with God.

#Sorrow01-30-18

I am down, down, down, down.. What is this feeling? What is this I'm feeling, I just can't explain? You left me wounded, and I am moaning with grief. My heart is pierced and my entire body is paralyzed. Perhaps I can't accept the fact that you left me and I am drowning in sadness. I can't cry my eyes are dry. I am afraid, my eyes might bleed if I persist. My heart is heavy, very heavy. I can't breathe anymore.. I am in a sorrow-ridden disposition once again 😞

Oh Love...

sally_gallego — Fri, 05 Jan 2018 16:28:27 GMT

Oh Love...

OH LOVE, I just realized

......that you allow crucibles to happen to me, for me to be polished and refined.

My Dearest Friend (Song Composition)

sally_gallego — Fri, 05 Jan 2018 04:17:26 GMT

My Dearest Friend (Song Composition)

I think of you every day

I hope that one day we will cross paths

Although I am busy with my chores

I would still love to talk to you

When my phone beeps, I am exhilarated to see it

Excitedly checking if it's you who messaged

I then grin though it's queer

And that shows to me, that you are dear

I savour every moment of our talks

Imagining that you're with me in my walks

Our distance seems so near

For our friendship keeps us connected like one soul in two bodies

CODA:

You have a heart of gold

You console me in my sorrow-ridden days

You enable my grumpy disposition to be lively

And I am truly blessed, because in you I find peace.

REFLECTION

sally_gallego — Fri, 05 Jan 2018 03:36:41 GMT

REFLECTION

I am like a stallion who resists the rein when a stud horse passes by. I still want to relish the earthly things. How poor I am!😢

Sept. 19, 2017..Ecstasy during morning office

Oh Lord, I am burning now without consuming. The smoldering flame of your love ablaze within me. I now again feel the ecstasy of being occupied by you. I want to relish this till it fades. I hope that this will last long enough that my entire being may be spurred to act according to your will. This is rare and now I desire to die immediately just to see you face to face.

Words to my dearly beloved primo

¡Feliz cumpleaños mi estimado primo! Gracias por todos. Gracias por ser generoso, por ser cariñoso, y tu verdadera amistad. Gracias por tus simpaticas palabras.

(Clothing Day Song Composition of mine) March 19, 2017

1. I was once in a miserable frame

But at the moment You God, called me out of nowhere,

I have been given the chance to hope steadfastly

That a naught like me can be something special

Because Your love and mercy, oh God, are boundless and phenomenal

2. Then I answered Your call by entering in Carmel

The place to be for a person like me

Who constantly thirsts for Your very presence, Lord

In Carmel, I found the long yearning of my soul

And now I sing in exultation with great felicitation.

3. I thank You with all of my heart, Lord

For destining me in Carmel

Which I believe, You deliberately acted.

I thank You for Your instruments and graces

I have dealt all the hardships in life assured

4. I thank You for Mother Bong and the sisters

Who warmly accepted me in spite of my flaws

I thank You for my mother who never fails to understand me

And to my relatives and friends who take part in my life's journey

5. Once and for all, I am now wedded to the love of my life

The Triune God who wants wholly my subjection, faithfulness and love

So now, let's celebrate through praising and glorifying God

For pulling us together in this clothing occasion

Let's be joyful and pray to God that we may be guided always to His path.

MY NEW FRIEND(12-16-15)

sally_gallego — Tue, 01 Nov 2016 19:31:47 GMT

MY NEW FRIEND(12-16-15)

1.) She's innocent on my first impression

I didn't see her at first, we just conversed

Till one time she showed her pictures

Yet my first impression never changed

2.) Then, I saw her and talked to her on cam

A few days after seeing her photos

Still my impression remained the same

She's innocent like a child bathing in the rain

3.) I like the way she talks

Though she's not quite good with her English words

I don't know how accurate my instinct is about her naivete

But from the bottom of my heart, it is a reality

4.) She's exquisite and delicate

Her beauty dazzles like the starting ray of dawn

She's Anastasia which sounds anesthesia...

A new friend of mine who is seldom and rare kind.

5.) For she's a hidden treasure buried in a far away island

Oh my friend Anastasia

Will you remain simple in nature for good?

So that I can keep you until the end of time

My Unexpected Friendship

sally_gallego — Thu, 20 Oct 2016 18:24:22 GMT

My Unexpected Friendship

I have become extremely happy when you came treating me likewise your friend

I presupposed that no friendship will be built between the two of us

For I am impatient and you are a hard to get kind

But when I felt giving up befriending,

Unexpectedly you showed your friendliness.

Since then, I liked you and we became friends.

I then think of you everyday

I always hope and pray that we will cross our way

In my busy moments I compel myself to stop my time,

To remember your presence in my core from time to time

I savor every moment of our talks

I imagine that you're with me in my walks

Distance can hinder us no longer

For our friendship is rooted and become stronger.

Man of Deep Sorrow (Ma.Tes)

sally_gallego — Sat, 17 Sep 2016 00:15:24 GMT

Man of Deep Sorrow (Ma.Tes)

1.) I met a man of deep sorrow,

He called me tenderly

His voice was in pain full of silence

Yet strong as a rock in the sea,

I met a man of deep sorrow,

And in my pain there is peace

2.) I knew the man of deep sorrow,

Master yet meek in a throng

Self-possessed, calm and all merciful,

He's hated though guiltless of wrong

I knew the man of deep sorrow,

And in my pain I become strong

3.)I knew the man of deep sorrow.

His spirit can't be destroyed

His love is overflowing

Suffering without alloy

I love the man of deep sorrow

And in my pain there is joy

4.) I wedded the man of deep sorrow,

And I am being espoused eternally

We share a grief that too deep for tears.

Wounded yet happy we are together

I love the man of deep sorrow

And in our pain, liberation comes in

My Tremendous Lover

sally_gallego — Sat, 20 Aug 2016 07:48:28 GMT

My Tremendous Lover

I once fell in a pit

Of filthy water with stinky smell

I was totally submerged

Then you came with an impeccable timing

You drew me away from the fetid pit

Through your helping hands

You lovingly pulled me

You compassionately cleansed me,

In your crystal-clear and elixir of life water

And delicately placed me in your sturdy shelter

INDESCRIBABLE FEELINGS

sally_gallego — Sat, 20 Aug 2016 07:33:05 GMT

INDESCRIBABLE FEELINGS

I lay on my bed

I did not get a wink of sleep.

I was tossing and turning all night long

I did not get what was wrong.

Sunrise comes darkness ends

Indescribable feelings show up once again

A mixture of gloom and ecstasy

Unusual emotions come in their way

As lovely flowers dance with glee

The small birds chirp cheerfully

The petals sprout and fall freely

My sensations go on abstrusely

Obstinacy

sally_gallego — Fri, 20 May 2016 00:55:52 GMT

Obstinacy

For some it's freedom which they're yearning for

but the truth is, it's a waywardness that makes a deviation

For some it's a gusto beyond limitation

That can make them happy and stray them

For obstinacy is perverseness

That leads someone to wickedness

Pushing forward selfish stands

Like a lamebrain locked into lame duck plans

TRANSCENDENCE

sally_gallego — Fri, 25 Mar 2016 22:24:42 GMT

TRANSCENDENCE

I was at sixes and sevens

I almost freaked out

My heart hardened

My mind got twisted

Was it a result of tiredness?

Or was it a display of my displeasing colour?

I could hardly grasp

I could hardly bear

Were those things I felt perhaps a trial?

A trial of my faith?

A trial of my vocation?

Good thing I have this rooted inner calmness

I made to weigh things

I made to chill myself

Was it a part of your plan God?

Or was it just a mere happening?

I was really confused

And became listless for a day

Thank you God for the next day

I made to transcend the previous day

Expression of Melancholia

sally_gallego — Fri, 25 Mar 2016 22:04:38 GMT

Expression of Melancholia

Where are those friends when you need them the most?
When you need someone to count on and weep with?
Where are they when you feel abstruse?
When you need comfort and consolation?
They're miles away and they're busy as a bee.
Some shun and hide, some don't care, and some do not want to get involved in your problems.
So just be it. Just consider the fact that you are alone.
Call them? No, do not call them. Don't ask them to converse you.
It's your time to call God and tell him everything. Tell to him your problems and burdens. Cry him a river. Express your sorrows. Tell him that you need him most, that you have nowhere to go on and you have no one to count on.

I love you still

sally_gallego — Mon, 14 Mar 2016 17:06:42 GMT

I love you still

You are pulling my legs

I can't move

You are choking my neck

I can't breathe

You are killing me little by little

But I love you still

Longing

sally_gallego — Tue, 23 Feb 2016 15:13:27 GMT

Longing

It's like I am sinking

No hope in my thinking

There's a portion of my heart

That feels laceration

And the other part feels gladness with consolation

I am longing for your presence oh Lord

I resort to you as my last grand selection

Fill my emptiness with your ardent love

And enable me to be burnt

And consummated with love
