F/Philippines The second coming of a 20 something who's too broke to afford herself.
Ngayong gabi'y tutulo ang mga luha, Iniluwa ng gabi, gaya ng pag saklob sa mga dukha, Ikaw na nakahandusay, at trinaydor ng dilim, Asan na si Lando na may hawak na patalim? Ngayong gabi'y dadanak ang luha, Gaya ng pag humuho ng mga katawang Binusabos ng sangkahayupang Tinatawag niyong pulisan. At bukas pag sikat ng araw, Itong pagtangis ay mapapalitan ng uhaw Sa dugo't hustisya para sa bayang Pinapatay dahil "nanlalaban".

Ngayong Gabi
Past East Street, farther than the Parkway drive Where the trodden path ends; where ends the 8 to 5, Where the strained eyes close, where the dreamers thrive, In its 5ft. glory lies my lair, The Hive. An oxymoron, the contradiction Where else shall you cease, to exist? To be shackled, and freed? If not on your bed, but in your head? Thus, on a pulpy heavenly plate, Neck up; so to goes my crown, my glory The what ifs and the would be; Along with the ayes and nays to bury To traverse the beyond to inifinity To, and remain sedate Amidst the activity.

Escape
Forget the screech, the sharp turn, the shatter Forget the park, or any for that matter For now we are weightless, suspended in ether This, right now, is forever. I always thought them black, your eyes Sometimes shrouded in mystery and ice, But under the moon, the stars, and the skies I see shades of brown, warm in age and wise. Strange that I remember the then and now, The way you nag, and the arch of your brow Your laughter that echoes, as well as our vow, All the way here, where we take our bow. Your arms outstretched, reaching a bit more, I'll never leave you, I know, I swore That's right, go on, just before we hit the floor I promise to hold your hand and never let go. Never have I ever seen you this clear, Close your eyes, my love, my dear; And, when you open them, douse your fear, Do not fret, forever is here.

Split Second
His posture's poor, eyes alight Disposition awkward, nobody can understand trouble he stirs, he brings forth a fight His glinting eyes scrutinizes the world, dull and bland. Lightly he walks, as free as the wind An air he can be, yet earthquakes he shall bring His intentions are unknown, his presence enigmatic His sentiments are mirrored by his sling. That poor frustrated soul has always been alone He's free, and yet he's on his own But he shall live, yes, he shall be Away from the society's eyes that cannot see.

The Misunderstood
Ilang gabi ring napuyat at nagbakasakali Na ako'y iyong kakausapin tulad ng dati Umaasang ang 'Goodnight' mo'y magbubunga Ng pang-uusisa gaya ng 'Kumusta ka na?' Pero marahil ay nakatulog ka na Kaya siguro nanahimik ka 'di bale, ako'y inaantok na rin naman na Pero bago matulog, iisang sulyap pa.

Inaantok na
Heralded by ominous trills, When Day came knocking, I held my breath and stood still, Because silence chases everything away And the one I wasn't counting on to stay Held my hand, and took me back My friend has, yet again, taken me Back to bed.
