Dahil May Mga Tanong Na Sadyang Mapangahas

Paminsan may mga gabi
kung saan damang-dama mo
ang mga Tanong

na umaaligid sa iyong likuran,
animo'y mga mandarambong
na handang hablutin
at nakawin ang iyong mga mahahalagang dalahin.

Marahas nilang hihigitin
ang iyong pitaka,
at mabilis na tatakbo papalayo;
hindi ka man lamang makasisigaw

I'm a sucker for syntax.

I was looking at my multiply's inbox, mindlessly scrolling down from update to update when I chanced upon one of my friends' posts, with the the words "love of my life" in the subject. I read it over and over again and chewed on it. What does it mean when someone declares someone else the love of their life? How much more ( Read more... )

A Kiss, Because We Are Lunatics

Tales of Old,
Endymion on the hill,
amidst his eternal sleep
knows that Selene, the Moon,

is the most beautiful thing he has seen.

You just don't know how
every kiss was a suture for my eyes,
consciously,
to force me to be blind
to the beauty of the moon.

Each time I do not kiss back,
the needle buries itself deeper.

This might ( Read more... )

我不要了。我的心太累。
我太累。
可是你不知道。

我不明白 -- 可能我依然喜欢你。
任何，这个不重要。

我不重要。

A 3 year old Chinese boy would speak/write better than that.
I wish I could be a kid again and just say how I'm feeling
Without hiding under stupid metaphors.

Or other languages, for that matter.

Sometimes I want to break out and scream at you in another language.
Mandarin. Spanish. Whatever.

Stop! No! I Cannot Stop!

Hello Mr. Hurricane,
where are you
headed to right now?

You mess
with their hair and turn
their umbrellas inside out,

but you don't even know them.

The trails you leave are littered
with random pieces of life scattered all over.

Hello Mr. Hurricane,
do you even know what you're doing?

You spin around, it seems like you have
everything ( Read more... )

Today (today being Sunday, April 06), I have found myself trapped in this cycle: grab a handful (fine, around 2 handfuls) of Hershey's Kissables, a small bar of Caramel Crunch, and then finish them in less than 3 minutes. I'd get a glass of water and then, because my tongue is weird and always calls for "equilibrium", I'd open a bag of chips to ( Read more... )

Patibong

Marahil hindi mo lang napapansin
na ang bawat salitang nagsasakatawang-tao
sa iyong mga labi

ay isa-isang humuhukay

ng mga patibong sa daanang aking tinatahak
papalayo sa iyo.

Ang bawat pagbigkas mo na tila walang kahulugan
ay katumbas naman ng aking pagkahulog.

Hindi mahirap ang umiwas; madaling ingatan
ang aking nilalakaran
upang makalayo sa iyo ( Read more... )
