Me And A Pimp Cane
There are days when I can’t express myself properly. Those days happen a lot and they are, by far, countless and unrelentingly frequent. Now, there are days where I can express myself, albeit limited, and are, oftentimes, only happening in my head. Now is such a day. Or night. It’s getting pretty late from where…

Tanung-Tanungan
Araw-araw, gabi-gabi Nag-aabang ng text message na hindi darating. Nagpupuyat sa pag-online ng pangalan mo sa active chat list ko. Naghihintay ng ilang oras kasi ang sabi darating ka. Ilang oras na ba ang nawala sa paghihintay? Ilang oras pa bang maghihintay para sa iyong pagbabalik – Kung may hihintayin pa man?

You Are: Borrowing Some Phrases
You are Unowned and unrestrained Yet your freedom remains Unsound and unsung because You are Restrained and bound To an ethereal muse Who sings to you multitude upon multitude Of inspiration in riveting waves Of light That which I cannot give To you because You are To me, unowned and I am To you, Unsung,…

Knocked Down
The spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit perfectly. Starting off with the thought of holding hands with somebody, this gets a little bit nostalgic. I’ve held hands with people I cannot and care not to recall. It’s not like there’s anything wrong with that. People forget given a time frame but of…

The Other Girl Nobody Noticed
I haven’t written anything substantial in a while. This sentence has been an opening for one of my entries here. I forgot if I put it up for private or if I ever did put it up for viewing. All I know is that I know I wrote those words before. As for the time…

By June
A sigh swept through the crag And the echo continued to resound Explosively, unyieldingly, as if It was loud enough for worlds to hear And it reached me as I lay unmoving, As I resigned myself to another eternity And it gave me enough to hope for: That somehow, if I reached out, Maybe if…

Hindi naman sa hindi ko gusto o di ka’y hindi ko pinangarap mangyari ngunit ngayong nandito ka na, hindi ko na maalala ang…
