*my eyes search
the crowd for you
my ears long
to hear your voice
my mouth aches
for your lips
for your tongue
for your kiss
my arms reach out
to hold you
(and be held)
and never
let you go
my body craves for you
and
i am insatiable*

*and in the
cracks and crevice
and crannies
of my broken heart
light entered
brightness filled me
and illuminated
the darkness within*

*your voice sings to me
your eyes wave over
your mouth beckons me
your arms surrender
your heart calls to me
and
i'm starting to answer*

*Wishing, aching, dying
For your touch,
Hungry, Starving, ravenous
For your love.
My figure, forlorn
My cheeks, hollow
My eyes, lifeless
My breathing, labored
My stomach, rumbled
My heart, empty.
Touch me,
Let your fingers linger, delving further,
Feed me,
I am all skin and bones.
Fill me up,
Cup by cup.
Until I'm full
To the brim.
Be my panacea,
Be my manna,*
Be mine.

Why does it hurt?
Because you assumed
Because you expected
Because for you it was
True
Because for you it was
Real
But for him
It wasn't
Because you fell
Down a flight of stairs
No one there to catch you
Because your bones
Arms
Elbows
Wrist
Legs
Knees
Ankles
Are now broken
Because your heart
Is now broken

so, you long to escape?
escape to the heavens?
you want to be lost in the cosmos,
let the velvet sky wrap you
and the stars comfort you?
you want to hide behind the sun and the moon
and take solace in the planets?
so, you long to escape?
please take me with you

i may not cross paths
with you
during the day
as often as i'd like
but i see you everyday
at night
every night
i see you
in the stars
and
in the moon
i see you
in the velvet sky
in the clouds that pass by
i see all of you
all five feet eight inches tall
paisley skin
tousled hair
****** eyes
i see you

*Ahh,
To be fed by
Your smiles, your kisses,
Is all that I've ever
Craved.
To be enveloped by
The pen of your arms
Is all that I've ever
Longed.
To be touched and caressed by
You,
Your flesh agaisnt mine
Skin to skin
Fingers trailing down
My back
My *******
Is all that I've ever
Ached.
Ahh,
To be loved by
You
Is all that I've ever
Craved
Longed
Ached.
To be loved by
You
Is all that I've ever
Dreamed
Wanted
Needed.*

ANG BABOY by John Iremil E. Teodoro
Sugot takin nga mangin baboy
Kon ang tangkal ko mga butkun mk.
Basta damogan mo lang ako
Kang imo nga yuhum kab haruk
Aga, hapon.
Dali man lang ako payambukun.
Ang pangako mo man lang
Nga indi ako pagpabay-an
Amo ang bitamina nga akun
Ginatomar.
Kag kon gabii gani
Ang mga apuhap mo man lang
Sa akun likod kag dughan
Anb makapahuraguk kanakun.
THE PIG translated by Leoncio P. Deriada
I am willing to be a pig
Provided your pen is my arms.
As long as you feed me
With your smile and kiss
Morning, afternoom.
It is easy to make me fat.
Your promise
Not to abandon me
Is the vitamins
I take.
And during nighttime
It's your touch
On my back and breast
That can make me snore.

You're staring daggers
Right at me.
Your tongue,
a sword.
Your mouth,
a gun.
Your words
Are bullets,
And you never miss a shot.
I am stripped bare
Before you:
No shield,
No mail hauberk,
No helmet.
I am stripped naked
Before you.
My skin pockmarked
Blue, violet,
And in some cases black,
As I suffer the bruises
From the punches and the jabs.
My body covered
In exit wounds:
Bullet wounds,
And knife wounds,
As I endure the
Metal piercing me.
My fingers bleeding
As I hold on to the shards
Of our broken hearts.
You are my downfall.
My undoing.
You are the
Bane of my existence.
And everyday,
I die
A thousand deaths
Because of you.
