I knew love when I was 16
It was something new to me
An unfamiliar rhythm that I try to dance to
I tried hard to make it fit on me
But I always miss the beat of it
Love is like a familiar stranger
Or a scenario of deja vu
I somehow knew it but barely recognizes it
It's a lesson that I have learned that I forgot
Although I am willing to relearn it
Love was always with me
Like a secretly supportive friend
That knows my demons even if I am a closed book
Always gives me an invisible pat on my shoulder
Pushes me through the hardest obstacles
Love became a dear friend
That I would share a kidney to
It became my something spectacular
A burst of vivid fireworks in the night sky
It made me stare at it in awe
Love is something I can't afford to lose
Because in all honesty, I have grown fond of it
Losing love means I'll get to start over again
I don't have the heart to face the beginning
If it is not with the same love
Love is my reason to lie to my mother
It made me want to sneak out on friday nights
Just to have long midnight walks
While holding their precious hand
As the cool wind kisses our cheeks
Love reached all my standards
Yet at the same time, erased it
I learned to love the flaws and imperfections
Love became the high standard
That no one could reach
Love is my beginning and end
Love is both my fear and courage
Love is my peace and chaos
Love is my in between
Love is you.

I was not fed love on a silver spoon
Never have I ever tasted it
Thus, many questions runs in my mind
All due to curiosity of deprivation
Did love tasted sweet? was it addictive?
Was it never bitter to the taste?
I am clueless of it, for I was neglected
I grew not knowing how love tasted when spoon fed
But all this is a thing of the past now
A yesterday's misery
A mind once hungry of information
It is nothing but an unfortunate memory
Now I have learned to lick it off a knife
The taste of sweet love along with my blood
The pain is mixed with pure ecstasy
I savor it and close my eyes, I dream of heaven
It has became my new drug
I care not for myself as long I could taste love
This is the only self-destruction I have wished for
I accept it wholly, I give my heart to it

Poems and tragedies
Coexist with each other
Like a blissful night and a sorrowful day

Have I ever told you that the moon is pretty
And you glowed under its light,
Trust my words, you have bewitched me
Stare at you, I will forever
And might I take sa photo
For it to last an enternity
But I tell you i don't swear by the moon
Because it is evolving
And my promises would only be shattered
Though this moon will attest our love
And be the proof of gaiety
Of me whenever when I am with you
You are my moon
That shines through the darkest nights
Along with your pretty stars
With this, I have reasons to look up
And appreciate the beauty of the sky,
Loving it because it reminded me of you

A deathless life is not blessing but a curse
With it you'll have the power to witness your love's demise
And hear every infant wailing as they are born
Curse it is! You would see the land erode and the ocean become a desert
Mountains move right before your eyes
My dear, time will never be a luxury for you.

On a calm afternoon, a fox caught her heart
This beautiful fox was wild and not tamed
But in an instant she fell in love with it
She then planned to tame the fox
She approached it ever so gently
It was in the field basking under the rays of the sun
The fox sat there so majestic
And it bewitched her more
She sat beside the fox and said a promise no one could forget
"I'll tame you my fox, with my time and consistency you will be mine"
With all sincerity she have said that
And she plans to keep this promise until the earth crumbles
The fox agreed and held on to the sweet promise of hers
With all her love she will do anything for the fox to be tamed
No hearts will be broken and no tears will escape the eyes
For she took her promise seriously and it will not be shattered

Sabi nila di ka tunay na manunula kung ang sulat mo'y di tugma
Kaya napatingin ako sa aking mga tula
At nagtanong sa aking sarili kung ang aking iniisip ay tama
O tunay nga ba ang aking duda
Hindi nga ako isang makata
Marahil ang gawa ko'y di makatutugma
Dito ay kalungkutan ang aking nadama
Dahil sa kasinungalingan ng aking paniniwala
Di tugma ang aking kinurbang salita
Gamit ang makabagong pluma
Luha't dugo ko'y na baliwala
Dahil lang sa sinabi ng isang makata
Kaya't gumuho ang aking mundo't pag-asa
Galit at pighati ang gumising sa aking gabi, mulat ang parehas na mata
At ako'y umiyak at lalong nagduda
Sa aking talento't kakayahang tumula

With your hands, You glady cover their mouths
Muffling the cries of sorrow
While you are gagged and silent
With your blinded eyes
You fight for the wrong you thought was right
While others die for the truth
With covered ears, You can not hear the pleas of the poor
You are nothing more than a mindless puppet
While others have precious principles

Pitiful medications do not work
Each day that passes gets worse
My soul did not heal but rather stayed the same

Lord, My Lord you have forsaken me
You have rejected my prayers
And laughed at my tribulation
Lord, Lord you saw everything
Yet you sat there and watched
With your wine in the holy grail
Lord, I have lost my faith
You are not benevolent
Those verses spoke lies
In the brink of death it was not you that I saw
But it was rather the devil that comforted me
Yet I was still loooking for you
You have abandoned me, in my isolation I've lost my sanity
Hatred became my dearest friend
Grievance was now my lover.
With this I no longer knew nor understood my self
I was now torn between praying or dying
Would I go back to your arms? Or continue my resentment towards you?
