macsyjaay - Hello Poetry

Dear my shooting star, my cold wind in summer, and my bee sting, you were both a beautiful and painful thing I had in a short moment of time. Every pieces of it, from the littlest to its every bit, were the ones I always cherished. Though it had me stung ― like how you put salt to my wounds ― I still felt the happiness when you showed me the grandiose of stars and the sensational touches of a cold wind. You were a short moment who gave me a lasting sentiment in transience. Thank you, my ephemeral.

I was walking in nothingness, barefoot. My feet was colliding with the universe, feeling nothing, and seeing everything without a bit of emotion. I had this unexplained emptiness inside me for so long, ‘til my soul met yours. We shared something so different. That feeling seemed so peculiar that I couldn’t even think I’d feel something so divergent and new, like how it felt. You were so perfect I could almost think you were unreal — like a water in a desert. Then suddenly, I felt like you were so far and unreachable, ‘til I realized you were just an illusion. I was astonished by the sight of something so perfect that I almost forgot that I don’t deserve it. And maybe we got lost somewhere in our thoughts, and found a love we thought we had, but it was just a mirage.

Inhale Heart cheering Chest uplifting Light breathing Eyes seeing Mind wandering Spirit freeing I am in perfect timing A man could be surrounded with a thousand beautiful things around But only recognizes the beauty of his only love A woman could blabber every word she wants in ceaseless But her man is the only one that could make her speechless A father may have found company with his co-worker But will never forget to be a daddy to his daughter A mother may be busy with the dishes But never forgets to take care of her babies A brother might be nervous with his exams and quizzes But always brave to get you away from cockroaches We see love everywhere Maybe in parks, in churches, in aisles Maybe love is there for every smile For every laugh, and for every cry Love is seen at every place Never hidden, always in pace And as we grow, we meet different people They might make us change, or we might make them change Some days you feel like you’ve been poured in heavy rain And then you meet someone who brings you umbrella and washes out your pain Love is present at all junctures Never late, never early, always on time Love is always there Just open your eyes And let them see how it shines Love is the sun that doesn’t just give light But also the reason why we see everything bright I can see love in the hands of a child feeding his sick grandmother In the arms of a mother carrying her crying baby in cover Her voice sang songs of lullaby, until she stops to cry Her touch softens the rough weep, until she starts to sleep I can see love in the feet of a friend, who joins your silliness in no end Love is in the deep breaths of relatives after successful operations Love is in the screams after winning competitions Love is in perfect destinations And maybe love is in between pages Hidden in phrases, filling the spaces Maybe love is seen in right words In almost all situations, in what ifs Maybe love is in what could’ve been-s Maybe love is when you’re forgiven Love is in you Once you recognize it, it reaches people Like a contagious smile of a little kid Reaching the ends, uncovering a seed Sleep early, drink tea Break from stress; get yourself away from any mess Write journals, create paintings Smile, laugh Listen to music Love yourself You see, we define love the way we experience it And just as how beautiful it looks at us It’s also as beautiful when we give it back But love also has its other side You will get hurt When it seems to be not right We take back the words we once held tight And then it falls It falls back again to the dark post We become afraid when we are betrayed The things we once believed to be true Will slowly vanish like dew Exhale Heart thumping Chest shaking Heavy breathing Eyes closing Mind hiding Spirit weakening I am lost But love always comes back Like the sun’s rays Beaming radiance across From a dark, gloomy night It comes back with lustering light Then love is here again

Love is In

You can’t just force poetry to come out from you, it just suddenly happens. With that certain feeling that you’re feeling, good words painted with sound just come out naturally forming the rhythm of your beautiful poetry.

Napagod sa mga panandaliang pagbalik Sa agarang paglisan na akala mo'y sabik Napagod sa mga pagpansin na puro kalokohan Sa mga salitang walang kasiguraduhan Maaari bang kumawala Ang pusong napagod na Sa bawat sakit, kalungkutan at pait Pagod na sa pag-alala sa nakaraan Utang na loob Ipatikim mo naman ang salitang “pagtahan”

I can see my self in you every time you look at that girl. The genuine stares you have, those smiles you show, and how your mood quickly changes when she’s around. You look at her the same way I look at you — and that’s exactly the look I show every time I see you

She loved a guy who feeds her poison Its deepness could make the sea relinquish She swam deeper to see something But only found herself drowning — he killed her

Ako'y humakbang, bitbit ang damdaming puno ng kalituhan Nilakbay ko ito kasama ng aking mga paang nabibigatan Binibilang kung ilang tao ang nadaratnan Kagaya ko rin kaya sila? Mahirap tumakas sa mga bagay na pilit na humahabol sa'yo Mahirap maghanap sa mga bagay na nakatago Hindi ko nga alam kung ano na tong ginagawa ko Tatakas ba ako? O mananatili sa di mawaring yugto. Tumahak uli ang aking mga paa Rinig ang bawat tunog na likha Ngunit hindi ito tulad ng dati Hindi ko na kabisado ang mga tandaan Tinatapakan ko na rin ang mga nadaraanang linya sa daan Oo, hindi ito tulad ng dati Pero eto na, nandito na ako Sa wakas nakarating na rin ako Humanap ako ng angkop na puwesto Ako'y umupo at minasdan ang paligid na gulong-gulo Hinanap ko ang bakas sa mga silid Ikaw pa rin ang naiisip Litong-litong-lito na ako. Pilit kong tinatakasan ang gulo Pumunta ako sa ibang lugar, nag ibayo Ngunit isang malaking kamalian pala ang lahat Hindi ko pala to matatakasan sa simpleng pag ibayo lamang Dahil ito'y kasama ko Kasama ko ang aking tinatakasan Ang sarili ko Dahil ika'y nakatira pa rin sa aking puso At ngayon ako'y nasa kawalan, pilit pa ring kinakalimutan ang nakaraan

I WASN’T PREPARED Many times I’ve caught myself wondering, looking up to the ceiling and asking myself, “How far have I gone”? Or “Am I really moving?” Many times I’ve caught myself suddenly thinks of the things that shouldn’t be remembered Thinking of the things that made my heart shattered And as the tear slowly falls down on the paper, I’ve realized that I’m not prepared I’m not prepared of all these “romantic” things I’m not prepared of the sudden blissful happenings I’m not prepared of someone coming to my life And I wasn’t prepared of you, fading away from my sight I’m not prepared at all Looking back to the night when your eyes met mine I looked up and saw the stars shine And that was the time I’ve felt all my blood rushing through my veins It was like I’ve felt free from the locked up chains My sight of you seemed like I was looking on a beautiful scenery And my heartbeat? It wasn’t ordinary You smiled at me like we’ve already known each other before I looked down and saw my reflection on the tiled-floor It wasn’t a dream You were not a dream You were the reality I’ve always longed for You are the essence, you are the core We’ve shared many moments together like a fountain Dancing through the wind of happiness Showering each other with the water of faithfulness And giving light to the dark side despite the stress Many days passed by I’ve counted the days when I always looked up at the night sky It was different. It wasn’t the same It was strange. Everything has changed Back then, We were happy We were lucky We were lucky with the things that we have We were in love But that was “were” It can’t be now, it can’t be forever I didn’t know what happened I didn’t know why it has to happen I know I have loved you like the uncountable sands on the seashore I have loved you like the numerous stars on the sky I have loved you like the deep see that couldn’t be fathom I have loved you before. And before I end this spoken poetry I will thank you for the days For the days that you have stayed For the days that you have remained Thank you for the love we have shared Thank you even if I wasn’t prepared
