Alam kong ako’y di nag-iisa

Isang Hakbang
Pasulong patungo sa bukas,
Paatras sa takot na mag wakas.
Sandaling paghinto upang huminga,
Nang magmadali'y hinahabol ang hininga.
Tears
Not just drops of salty water
but remnants of painful slaughter
of heart and the soul perhaps the psyche
of a person who did not know the
way to beg for consideration or mercy
कर्म (Karma)
Karma is a short poem written and shared by Kaustav Nath to The Ugly Writers under the theme Love for the month of May.
Old Songs
I wanted to see all your old photographs,
so I could see you in the freeze frame,
when you were just a child,
& they called you by a different name
Ang Tunay na Saya
Walang pag-ibig na sa huli ikaw rin ang kawawa..
Mahalin nalang natin ang sarili at magpakatotoo.
Sapagkat ang tanging nagkapagpapasaya ng iyong buhay
Ay ang sarili mo lamang.
Broken Wings
Angels aren't invincible some are just too weak to fly, some too afraid to try.
3:56 AM
Gusto ko ng magpahinga.
Nais ko ng ipikit ang aking mga mata.
Ngunit bakit sa bawat pagpikit ng mata
Ikaw parin ang nakikita.
Traces
The walk seemed endless, but after a while, I found myself back to where I started. It had been a painful walk in the shadows. I thought I could face it with less tears, but I didn't. Although, by any means, I think I had been braver still.
Crimson
There was none on the other end of the line. And I gave up trying. It seems it's over. And I just kept crying. Her pulse grew weaker, her breathing more shallow. Her face, whiter, and her whole body colder. Is this how cold she must have felt?
The Fourteenth Child
This girl and I looked nothing alike. Her face freckled, auburn hair askew, and a casual stance with feet planted wide as if ready to sprint in either direction should the need arise.
Lost
Feeling lost is often the result of that undeniable resentment to missed shots or failed attempts.
