Album
I'll choose only those spontaneous moments
Where our hearts fluttered
And hurl those scarring events
Where our hearts suffered
Weekend
I spent all Sunday morning
Shredding Polaroids from
Last night, almost wanting
To save some.
In Quarantine
Now under quarantine,
I think everyone is forced
to do exactly that.
The world is forced into a quietness
that should have happened long
ago, every day, all the time.
Isang Hakbang
Pasulong patungo sa bukas,
Paatras sa takot na mag wakas.
Sandaling paghinto upang huminga,
Nang magmadali'y hinahabol ang hininga.
Ang Nakaraan
Kaya ikaw, ikaw na ang hirap kalimutan.
Naging dahilan ng pagluha sa mga unan.
Ako man ay nahirapan, dapat parin kitang pasalamatan.
Sa bawat pag patak ng luha ako may natutunan.
Mahulog sayo ay hindi kasalanan o kamalian.
LUNA
It's been a while
Since I saw your smile
As always you made me calm
I stare passionately...
Paper
Because I am a walking paper, forever attracted to the pain that causes my ink to leak
I am addicted, I am okay
I am okay
I am okay
Or am I?
Paalam, aking mahal
Hayaan mo akong mahalin ka sa huling pagkakataon at ibuhos ang lahat ko sa iyo.
Hayaan mo akong namnamin ang bawat patak ng orasan.
Hayaan mo akong ipinta ang minsang sa aki'y nagpaibig at nagpasaya.
The Violinist
Last night sleepy eyes began to breathe in
All details flawlessly emanating
From divinely immaculate perfection
Not In The Morning
Softly, my eyes open. I didn’t want to, but it’s already morning. And my heart breaks yet again. I barely slept, and facing you in my dreams had been an ordeal. Nothing had been easy since you left. And then…
Nightmares
And the winds of the night that are ridden
By the things that are old without age.
Far beyond a mere man’s understanding,
I have been to all places of dread.
Unspoken
I’ll wrap my skin so they won’t see
My way of dealing with the pain building inside me
I’ll do as what they told me to
