60, With a Piss Bag*
Sitting here two days removed from Dr. C running a rubber tube into my member, filling a portable piss bag
Lunod
Ako'y lunod sa emosyon,
Yung pakiramdam na di mapaliwanag,
Umaapaw hangga't matapon,
Oras na para ilabas ang bigat na nakatali,
Utak
Utak is a poem written by Cesar Banaag and shared via The Ugly Writers under the theme Just Barely for the month of October. Utak Ako ay may sakit sa utak, Pero hindi naman ako isang baliw, Isa…
No One
We would have regrets.
"I hope I did this or that instead."
But it is too late now,
the time has come, and we would have to go.
KAHIT MALAYO
Kahit anong mangyari kung puso man ay tapat, bilang ako lamang ay saiyo ay sapat. Kahit anong pagsubok, kahit anong problemang darating habang tayo ay isang milya ang distansya, hawakan natin ang pangakong binitawan sa isa't-isa.
Panamuh
Iniwan ako,
Iniwan ang kahapong tila panaginip na natapos,
Natapos na animo'y bangungot na kung muling maibabalik ay aking nanaising lumisan na lamang,
Cyclone
I picked up all the pieces that were left behind
This is definitely not the life that I signed
But I would never like to stay in this state
Creeping hopelessness, I'll find a way to escape
As the World Sleeps
As the world sleeps,
I lie drowning in misery.
Hosts of demons strike
me, again and again,
With swords, maces, and whips.
You will never be mine
I want you to be mine, and always just be
In your glittering eyes, it is only I that you see
But from this slumber, I have been woken
And knowing how long I have been so broken
Bliss of Solitude
Wandering lonely like a fallen leaf of an autumn tree
Flowing with the winter breeze
A Stone Hits Home
The trick is not to stick with what won’t stick. Life's stories are muddy quarries where worries cloud those under and shroud with their thunder bereft memories like lightning hailing pain for rain.
The Games We Play
Wanting to scream all the pain that you've been keeping to yourself.
But instead, you covered your mouth.
Keeping those screaming and not letting any word out.
