sa mata ng ordinaryong nilalang:
sa kalangitan madalas kayong naghahabulan
nagtataguan, ng mga liwanag at ng mga nararamdaman.
sa malawak na daigdaig, kayo ang nagbibigay liwanag;
kayo ang hinahanap, kayo ang kailangan.
ang mga bituin
ay kumikislap
patay sindi, 'di makapirmi
ang mga bituin ay
madami, 'di nag-iisa,
kun'di nagkalat na 'isa',
'di isang buo
kun'di isang
sansinukob ng:
naghalong emosyon,
'di mapiling pagkakakilanlan,
daan daang kasinungalingan
makapagtago lamang;
sa liwanag niya,
dahil mas importante siya
dahil siya ang iyong tinitingala,
isang malaking bolang mainit,
nag-aalab,
nakakabulag.
isa kang masokista,
pinili mo ang mapanakit niyang init.
isa kang arsonista,
pinili **** makipaglaro sa apoy.
'di ka naman nag-iisa
ngunit martyr ako,
at ikaw ang pinili ko.
siya si sol, ikaw si luna,
ako ang mga bituin,
kayo ang naghahabulan,
ako ang kumikislap/
kumukutikutitap/
kumukurap,
ako ang nagbubugulan.
bituing matagal nang patay

he's the perfect, kind of-
an equation with different variables
(which -coincidentally- matches with mine)
that made (sneaking) finding moments
between (our) rigid bodies
easy; but
we both know, all moments sum up to zero,
is there really

it's past 12 midnight
-and that should just be okay
given with my quarantine body clock,
but i haven't slept for the past 36 hours:
-i walked around the city,
-i exhausted my brain with responsibilities,
-i distracted myself with hobbies,
but i just can't seem to sleep.
it's amazing how overthinking really rallies with your mind,
and how it affects your whole biological being.
it's amazing how, one brief moment with a stranger,
bugs me like this.
his lips,
his warm embrace,
his sweet voice.
i just can't seem to sleep,
i
need
him,

someone once told me
-long before when i used to play music so loud
so loud to help keep the whispers at bay
the monsters hidden within
the unanswered questions, doubts, unanswered,
that to be able to appreciate music,
lower the volume, take it in, softly, gently, and
hear it calmly.
but then,
the whispers
the monsters
the unanswered questions
doubts
are louder, s c r EA mIng,
loud, louder than
the heartb e a t,
dum, dumdum, dum.....
too soft.... too..
hoax.

a week has passed and since then,
my love for you found refuge in my close friend's list
-settled for knowing that you saw it,
saw me, perhaps, even through me.
-settled for knowing that you,
are there for me.
-settled, for knowing you.

and before the sun hit my windows,
or before the warmth of its light kiss my cheeks,
i dreamt of you.
it started with a random event, venue and cast,
-people are at our newly renovated house, celebrating;
family, relatives and close relations, and then you came.
you entered the house with such elegance and demeanor which
urged my unconscious self tremble in fluster and unknowingly smile,
how could a person be so beautiful?
and so you sat down on the seat beside me, facing my family;
we moved past the introductions as i frantically searched for your excuse for visiting me -how are you here?
do you have an ongoing project nearby, perhaps?
i kept asking questions, to make up an excuse for your visitation,
but you kept answering 'No," and when i gave up
you completed your answer, "No, I don't know." You smiled.
You smiled as if I know what you meant.
You smiled as if that'll erase the glares of the people around.
You smiled as if we understood each other, so well.
You smiled, and for the first time i saw your vulnerability;
you were shy, flustered and utterly adorable -you didn't even try;
you smiled as if you're helplessly falling in love.
and then i smiled,
as if to answer your proposal,
as if i knew what you meant, and that i say 'yes.'
but as all dreams work,
i woke up.
