'I find her in the curves of certain lines, in the loveliness and subtleties of certain colours' -Oscar Wilde
The sun doesn't apologize for shining. The rain doesn't apologize for falling. The birds don't apologize for singing. The trees don't apologize for growing. You don't need to apologize for being.

Apologize
A fire rages inside. It wants to consume like an ancient god, long forgotten, feeling the soot of sacrificial smoke on its skin. It yearns for bygone rituals, warm hearts offered like fruit by trembling hands. Yet it is the same fire that kindles words in a poet’s mouth, the same flame that cradles fragile clay inside the womb of a kiln. A warmth that births a thousand realities. Self-immolated, burned to the last bone. Something stirs in the ash— a god remembering his name.

Eros and Thanatos
Pouring sweet peony tea into my half-empty cup until it spills past the brim. One hand tries to catch the overflow, the other hand pours steady, delighting in the flood of this floral aroma.

Torrential Rains
Hindi ang dalawang katawang lupa ang Nagniniig, nagsasanib ngayong gabi. Tangay ng Daluyong na pumapaindayog sa bawat Paghagod, pagkumpas sa ritmo at ritwal Ng pagsamba sa dambana ng laman, Katas at dahas ng magdamag, sabay Tayong lumalaya sa hangganan ng Pag-ibig ng mortal nating katawan. Hindi ang pag-ungol o ang malalim Na pagbaon ng mga kuko sa talim Ng bawat lihim ng silid na ito ang Hahadlang sa atin patungo sa wagas na Pag-ibig. Pakatandaan mo, lilipas ang Alindog at handog na kagandahan ng Katawang lupang kusang bumabalik, Humahalik sa paanan ni Kamatayan, Ngunit hindi kailanman ang wagas Na katotohanang sa gabing ito, hindi Ang dalawang katawang lupa ang Nagniniig, nagsasanib, kundi tayo, Bilang mga kaluluwa.

*A desert between us? Only in your dreams. Your longing? Reciprocal, it seems. Your heart ache? Nothing compared to mine. My promises? Rare and always held. Your smile? Bright sunray Throughout my day. Your heart beats? My earthquakes. Your verses, Daily narcotics. My horizon? Just to love you, On and on.*

To the woman who crosses my mind
There was once a carpenter's son; he died by his stepfather's profession about an item made of wood He died by his stepfather's profession carrying wood upon his back He died by his stepfather's profession with wood touching him He died by his stepfather's profession by wood with nails in skin...

Wood
Raindrops fall Sadness walks on wet pavements passing along old houses. Emotions stir Memories crawl like dark clouds slowly reaching for the remaining light July rain You are both sad and beautiful just like a song somewhere in the gallows of my thoughts Just like the cold on my skin Just like her.

July rain
*... My eyes, To mirror your sighs, I will give you my smile, To dance with your smile, I will give you my hands, For you to paint the beauty Of the fertile lands In the hills of Tuscany. I will give you my open arms To surround your shoulders, When you feel cold during the winters. I will give you my soft kisses To dry up your tears On your pale cheeks So I can chase your fears. I will give you my memory, For you to remember Our forgotten kisses, if any. I will tell you some of my secrets, Even the ones from the Pool, In case you show interest, And there you would think I'm a fool. And of course I will give you My Ocean Blue, For you to dive into. But I will never give you Anything that can hurt you. Somehow, You need to know That I can only give all this When you come back from the abyss To which you've decided to depart, Leaving me alone to dream of you, With art.*

I will give you...
Love her like She's the raging sea, Unrestrained and dark and deep. And you crave her touch Through aching pores As you slowly drown in sleep. Love her like She's the tender storm, A lovely shade of grey. Like with every whiff Of breath she takes, She's taking yours away. Love her like She's the silent clouds With calmness floating by. Like you'd want to make Sweet love to her Under the moon's apocalyptic eye. Love her like She's the blazing fire, And you lust the candied pain. Like she's the disease That swallowed you whole And you'd like to die again. When her gentle touch Makes your chest explode, And your addiction is your girl. Promise you'll love her Through hell and back, Or don't you dare love her at all.

LOVE HER LIKE
I want to softly whisper incomplete poems on your collar bones that don't rhyme with anything but your heavy breathing. I want to bury my face in the curves of your neck because you smell like the winter clouds and I've been gazing at the sky since you left.
