To lay in bed, but feel its weight press down on you,
To cry out loud, but feel hands gripped tightly around each word,
To lie wide awake, but feel the darkness swarm over you,
To stretch your hands out, but feel your spirit struck down by ropes that bind,
And to run, but come back to nothing but lies.
O, solider, stop fighting empty wars!
The battle has been won,
Love has overcome.
Let freedom echo out,
Let the trumpets sound out loud,
The Lord rejoices over you!
The spirals are split,
And so have you found the way
To everlasting peace.
O, weary heart,
you are redeemed!
And onto this I hold—
The Love that pulls me close,
The Love louder than storms,
The Love so alive,
The Love infinitely outstretched,
The Love that keeps coming back to us.

Her face-
A thousand suns,
A cosmic dance under
The ever-expanding escape;
The curtains that fall heavily
Upon the eyes of oblivion.
Her hands-
A fox running
Through the meadow;
The open cages that
Confine gloom back
Into its prison.
Her eyes-
An indefinite eternity,
Through which both
Dark and light speak;
The great
Illusionist.
Her lips-
A bitter moonlight
Casting its shadow upon
Persisting glow;
The ripeness of a
Mango in its season.
Her feet-
A battered road
Folding upon itself
As it struggles to find
Its way home;
The seeds scattered
In every empty hole.
Her-
A desolate daydream
That runs through
Unbounded space;
The deep ocean trench
I’ve completely
Drowned in.

I was only looking at what I imagined her to be, which was the nonviable - with me.

Why does thee have to be?
O, sweet Summer,
Turn,
And change your birthright.
Speak such a truth,
A truth not taken for granted;
I can't fall in love
A thousand times.
O, sweet Summer,
Your heart is in gloom;
I can't reach it, but fall,
And I will be the one to catch you.
Swear not by the moon,
My love;
The moon is evil;
Eternally she changes.
A hundred and ten I will wait,
But at the time which is present,
Leave me to my sweet sadness;
A thousand times goodnight.

Hello, madam.
How much is rent for one tiny room in your heart?

Written in these eyes,
Is an ancient love,
Not known to many,
But only to two.
Sinful eyes,
Have yet thee to desire,
With this lustful love;
An endless, passing fire.
Though such hearts,
Were not fully bloomed,
Such hearts these were -
An endless abyss of ache.
Knowing such things,
Yet such are denied,
So did they love in lust,
Not knowing that such a love would die.
In each’s hands they laid,
Ghosts of each other,
All for young saudade,
As each could not find another.

Sabi raw,
Walang bagay na tunay na
Malamig,
Kulang lang ito sa init.
Totoo rin na
Wala akong kalagayan na ako'y manhid,
Wala ka lang.

Our love was flimsy
Flimsier than uncooked spaghetti noodles

Unworthy, so unworthy,
Yet You held our lives so dearly,
I'm safe and sound in Your love and Your grace,
Oh, what other love, could ever replace?
Unworthy, so unworthy,
Yet You gave us life and showed us Your glory,
I'm wrapped in Your mercy's embrace,
Oh, what have I done, to see Your love's trace?
