i waited for all the people on the streets to return home as i climbed up onto the roof from a ladder on the balcony and watched as the moon rise, for nothing to happen. yet another clear night.

roof gazing
it's been a long time since i wrote; on notebooks i have words and some cursive letters -- as i try to figure out the font of my name-- but i never truly write. i kept staring at the walls and, somehow, the room shrunk, but i told myself i was okay. even with this much space i could never suffocate. i'm too scared to think about death. then the walls keep staring back at me, and the starry lights make me starry-eyed, starry-mind; lost in dreams of things again. i get so lost in thought of life that i forget to start living mine.

sleep
here i am pondering human existence and loneliness; such a universally desolate moment; i am here. to question the matters of who i am, where i am and why am i i started the moment i start; at the briefest encounter of warmth i retract myself completely. knowing that to know is knowing too much i realized i am emptied a void of knowledge; incompletely, i drift on like the sputnik II. as it orbits the earth without a meaning without a song, and what does it see when laika looks out to the vast darkness? what does it think? these are the questions of my sleepless nights.

sputnik sweetheart
i almost texted "good morning i can't sleep" to you i guess it was a habit. then i remembered you are living a different life that i'm not a part of anymore, not within nor without. but that's okay, we'll be strangers with some memories, if i miss you then that's my fault. so, good morning, i can't sleep.

time will tell
and that's when it hit me i have never been loved not by you, nor by your kisses because it was the thought of being in love that you loved, never me

when it hit me
in times of pain in times of harsh i give you heart, shelter from rain so ask again why do i try when you are blind of my demise.

stupid poem
i like the way you stretch your whole body just to tie your free-willed mane in a bun. i like the way your eyes practice dancing on the yellow pages of the math textbook as if it were a map to someone's heart. i like the way your fingers get stuck trying to reach the rays of the sun. i like the way your lips curve up without even noticing when you see the guy you've fallen for. i like the way you're so focused lips biting, eyebrows furrowed, face tensed; but the one thing i like most, especially when you're focused, the one thing that ***** me up every time i accidentally glance at you during an exam is when you tuck that single piece of hair and continue to pull it back behind your earlobe like a stroke of wave leaving the shore, as if it resting there was the most imperfect thing in the world that could've saved my life.

to our girls
they laughed under the sun; glistened shiny brightly in sweat like unshaped diamonds, hidden in the cave of age.
