sori,
di ko naramdaman

na bertdey mo
30th,
ang pinakamalungkot...

sori,
di ko naunawaan

wala akong alam
kaya wala akong karapatan
na turuan ka

sori,
di ko napansin

nasaktan kita...
naisip ko lang
ng umalis ka.

pwede ba magpaliwanag?

malungkot din ako
'kala mo

'andyan ka kasi
at 'andito ako

kaya lingid lahat
'gang 'kala na lang

pero ang totoo
pareho lang tayo

mag-isa
sawi

nagdadalamhati
nagpapariwara

nawawalan ng direksyon
kung sana...

magkrus
landas natin

makikita ko,
makikita mo

pareho lang tayo
may luhang tinatago.

The Dateless

The tip of the crescent dagger above
seems to point straight to my eyes
it's bloody rusts shower
and everything they touch is wounded

The giant cedars are on guard
each exhales some sulfurous fume
The darkness that embraces them
also hides my blunt nakedness

The sand is a bed of shrapnels
my back bleeds
The salty seawater is a burning flame
and the teasing wind just won't blow the pain

More Than Just A Love Story

I need not ask where
All I have to know is that you're there
so that our hands clasp in warmth
and our eyes whisper in silence

Neither do I need ask when
All I have to know is forever
so that we'd gaze upon our dreams
and we'd ride through eternity

as we soar with our hearts
and our hearts soar with us.
There would be no fatigue...
There would be no aging...

There would only be life...
There would only be love...
We'd only come down to smile
and look at each other

as we whisper the story
in the mirror of our eyes
as I see you in mine
and you see me in yours.

I Am Your Nude Painting

during your permoblack nights
when color-blindness embraces your heart
and your permogray emotions
control your left-hand brush strokes
as your permowhite stares
melt down the wooden easel

leaving just the bare shadow
of my candid nakedness
as my ebony crown flows
smoothly as the sea waves in the morning
and as my sapphire eyes glow
brightly as the nights in Vegas

with my moist lips driving
a sensual winding road
my temple sways with the melody
of the gush of your artsy blood
and I stand on the tips of my toes
as I raise my arms to fly

I feel feathery, I want to be blown up
but I can't help but sense
that my toes and my ha

Pangungulila

lulan ng aircon bus
subalit maalinsangan
nakasandal sa kutson
ngunit ramdam ang latay sa katawan

nakaiPod
pero bingi ang pakiramdam
nagtitext sa cellphone
ngunit bagot din naman

dumungaw sa bintana
kinuha ang digicam
iniumang sa target subject
subalit nanamlay lang

bakit kahit ano gawin...
nanunuot sa kalamnan
bakit kahit ano isipin...
puso ay sinusutsutan

early na pumapasok sa work
nago-OT pa para maging busy lang
lahat ng nagpapaalala sa kanya
puro iniiwasan

ngunit sadyang nagsusumiksik
kahit pinipigilan
sa biyahe pauwing bahay

Death Of An Emo

my bedroom is my coffin
sprayed with sweet formalin
I lay still with my bloodshot eyes open
as my chaotic mind is wondrin'

I think I need some nicotine
to kiss the smoke as it spells your name
I think I need some wine or caffeine
to taste your heat when we're fuckin'

I think I need some cocaine
to get away from all burden
I think I have to lick that bloodstain
to erase the memory of pain

I think I need you to lean on
I'm weak, I can't move on
because though I think I drown
still I don't wa

All I see are but shadows
of the lurking ebony night
but I hear the leaves,
they talk to each other
and I smell the buds of May,
their fragrance reach the clouds

till the hiding blue moon
perk down
it's eye flashes a shimmer
against a blood red rose
which sweats with passion
and glow with love

I boil with obsession
to cut the lone stem
and hide it in my back pocket
till the shadows come again
then I catch sight of a fairy
which slowly comes my way

I grabbed that thing behind me
alas, thorns prick

The Nightingale's Song

the fire
had burn down to ashes
and you rose from it
in a time I didn't expect

I broke
your wings,
I heard
you cry

yet once,
and once more,
the heavens,
we already soared together

but as we glided
down...
drops of tears
fell.

a year...
your wings will flap
you'd fly...you'd descend
to kiss the bosom of your dreams

four or five more years...
your wings will flap again
you'd fly back to where your dreams were born.

your keen eyes,
which I never looked at
and your wild senses,
which never tingled me

would I still want to see?
would I still have the passion
to grip you in my palms
like before?

like before...
when

The Promise

i never saw a man
cry before me...
before

until you.

sorry.

i promise
i'll listen to you,
i'll go to sleep now

so that
we can meet
in a dream

in the heavens
we created
just for us

in the paradise
we live
to love.

I want you to know... I call you by your last name...
You said my name is beautiful. Thanks, but you know what? I don't like my second name - Jean.
I was born May 21, you were born January 1. I am 20 days, 4 months and 13 years younger than you, doesn't matter.
You like younger women, we're vivacious. I like older men, you're wiser.
Blue's Clues! February 14 last year, my date and I watched the movie Baler. February 14 this year, I'm dating someone from Baler.
I understand that your family is very important to you. I have this feeling that if circumstances will force you to make a choice, you'll choose them over me, right?
Back to our old school days,

Game of Death

The butterfly fell...

                  in love too!
                  He knew it,
                  but only until the net
                  caught him offguard.
                  She was a gam

sa paghupa ng apoy,
'di ko wari kung sadya
o naligaw ka lang
na sa pugad ko'y makipisan

nabali ko na
mura't malambot mong mga pakpak
narinig ko na
impit mong pag-iyak

ngunit minsan,
at minsan,
isang dipang langit
sabay na nating nalipad

subalit sa pagdausdos,
pababa...
ay ang pagdalisdis din
ng ilang patak ng luha.

isang taon...
mga pakpak mo'y ikakampay na
lilipad ka, bababa,
at hahalik sa pulang lupa

apat o lima pang taon...
mga pakpak mo'y ikakampay muli
lilipad ka, babalik,
sa lupang itim na sa pighati

ang mailap mong mga mata,
na di ko natitigan ni minsan
ang matalas mong pakiramdam,
na 'di naman ako nagulat pa

Cold Sunset

above the pink sky,
behind those silent clouds
are emotions...

beneath the frozen water,
within the stillness of the sea
are memories...

of the forgotten
who longs to be remembered...
just when the sun sets
and my tears fall

as your guitar is broken
and Morrison sings his goodbye
our hands lose grip...

our footsteps make a rhythm
of stones clashing by the beach
but they leave no prints

they are washed ashore...

Why is it painful to love?

We never know
but when it slits our being
it can last a lifetime

We never know
but where it hits us
causes paralysis

We never know
but who hurts us
is always the most special

We never know
why they always do
we're just always left wond'rin'

so We never know
how to heal the wounds
if ever they do heal, still there's always deep scars

Last night
I dreamed...
of you,

smiling sweetly
as if you never made me cry

I stared at your lips
I remembered how our teeth clanked
the first time we kissed
I heard myself giggle.

then you spoke
as if we're in good terms

I felt your warm breathe
I remembered how you dirty-talked
while you tickled my ear
I felt stiff

while you embrace me
as if you never hurt me

I sensed the longing on your skin
I remembered that day
we lost ourselves
I miss you baby...

I felt so cold inside
I was awaken
I peeped out of the window,
it's raining

I felt colder,
then I realized
I am crying...
just like all the nights

Love Overdosage

You gave me everything
so that I'll learn to return them back to you
I received nothing

You made me a possession
so that I'll know to whom I belong
until you forgot that I am also mine

You studied what I really am
and you realized I am not like you
so that you needed to mold me into your likeness

You loved me too much
until we both drowned
as we lost ourselves

because now what you see in you is me
and you started to think that you are me
so that you won't understand

because you spent all your time
trying to make me understand you
until you forgot that you should have understood yourself first

still I know, you won't listen t

Isang dapithapon, habang lingkis ng mga daliri ko
ang pares ng aking putikang tsinelas
at masuyong niyayapos ng malamig na tubig
ang hubad kong mga paa,
namataan kita

ikinukubli na ng mga kabundukan
ang dambuhalang lampara na may ilaw
tinatabingan na rin ng sandamakmak na ulap
ang taglay noong ningning
kaya't anino ka lang sa aking paningin...

ang libong bato sa batis
marahas na pinaghahalikan
ng nagmamadali kong mga talampakan
hanggang sapitin na ang ibayong damuhan
na dinilaan na ng hamog

saglit akong tumigil...
banayad na pinakinggan ang salit ng musika
na likha ng mga kuliglig
at unga ng mga baka
saka ako marahang tumak

Sa bintana ako'y nakadungaw
Mga mata'y nakatuon sa alapaap
Marahan silang itinutulak ng hangin
kaya sa buwan sila'y napapayakap

Kinikilig ang mga bituin
Nagsasabog sila ng ningning
kaya mga mata ko'y naakit
na sa kaibuturan nila ako'y sumilip...

Nakita kita, payapang naiidlip
maamo mong mukha, kayang-kaya ko pa ring iguhit
marahang pagpintig ng puso mo
naririnig pa rin ng puso ko

malamig mong mga kamay
nararamdaman kong hinahaplos ako
matamis mong pagbulong
sagot sa panalangin ko

nakikita kita, sa loob ng bituin
ngunit di na kita kayang abutin
madalas rin nga kitang makita sa loob ng puso ko
ngunit sa loob ka na lang, wala

False Hope, Then Hope Falls...

Literature / Poetry / Romantic / Post-Teen (Mature) / Visual & Found Poetry

swiftly,
like when an eye winks

and abruptly
the heart sinks

pain pricks
like million thorns,

jealousy wakes
self scorns...

of ifs and whys
of doubts and crys

that boils the blood
that brings such grudge

would end in misery?
pulled by gravity

wish as if dead
deep down the grave

that's how hope falls
when hopes are all false
