Starlight Confession
I loved you when
You didn’t love me
When you couldn’t love me
When you shouldn’t love me
Poems
Now I Am Bald
Now I am bald and
a fashionista by default,
as it was never my fashion
before
and no one followed meMy Wish Upon A Star
Yet despite all,
My heart keeps on waiting,
Trying to convince fate,
You’re still the one it’s beating.She Smiled
Her breathing became labored
Her smiles then became fewer
Her eyelashes fluttered
She knew we were there
Her eyes didn’t openCriminalised
Criminalised for a flag.
Criminalised for displaying its colours,
for wearing its colours,
for painting its colours
in the country where it arose from,
in the country where it belongs.The Longing of a Lifetime
When it’s easy to forget,
My longing for you,
Only grows stronger.vincere Christos pherein
I used to call you every day
the one always reaching out
I wished for you to be my confidante
even when it felt like you couldn’t reciprocateKung Pwede Lang Sana
Kung pwede lang sana,
Ang tanging masasabi,
Sa mga bagay na hindi maitatanggi,
Kahit anong pilit nating manatili.When Winter Ends
He told me he knew exactly when winter was truly over
– not by birds returning or grass greening,
but by the scents that build the air.
