Filipino I try to write. / I really do. / Shame If you don't like it / Shame on you
I want to speak of passion Of the sunburst whirling through the day When sweat and blood run as one And salt is all I taste and say. I want to speak of you, the way diamond wades in your eyes Your paper-like teeth and the way They bite through my truths and lies Sinewy muscle woven by mortality and love (be lust?)

I've finally come in terms And this gaping hole's closing up Quicksand's hardening 'neath my feet Where I was trapped waist up. Breathe it in, at what cost? Gush it out, unfused No war was lost The knives are left unused

I love the taste of words against my silken tongue I feel them drop off from a quiet place full of light and color and feel them slide out slowly and surely to bring color to the dull world outside

The smooth indentations dip And like the dust in those lonely caverns of the stoic moon above they swirl like the recollection of thoughts of this cold night of this cold dark night of the nights when I long to hold you in these empty arms I am

Longing
Those untouched curves Cradled by the moon Sung by silent melodies On a sweet somber night I trace on it slowly Making whorls in the void Humming mindlessly Smiling in the dark as the rise and fall of her chest thrum me to sleep

When the lights finally switch off And night swallows it a-whole Hold the monsters off, My darling And never fall into the hole When they claw into your heart And thrash it onto unforgiving floor Smudge yourself with the earth of the hearth And yell, "Nevermore, Nevermore!" For the primal beast inside calls for even the dimmest light of justice While the rage inside roars like the falls Held back by the heart's dark crevice But remember my lonely child Though the brusque always seem to win The final victor is never the wild But in one of the patient kin
