Why fear nightmares
when there is
the false beautiful reality
that we call
**a dream
When you wake up from a nightmare,
there is solace cause it is just a nightmare
but
when you wake up from a dream
there is despair in wishing it was true

Love
looked like
a short girl
She has
pale white skin
With
Dark almond eyes
and soft wavy hair
And every time
she'd smile
You'd see her
face shine
Like the sun
------------------
Love
looks like
a girl that
Often stares
out the
Window or
the blank space
Seeing only
her thoughts
come to life
Watching the
World become
her *playground

-------------------
Love
looked lost
on the streets
While immersed
in that world
Trying to find
her every step
Without tripping,
without falling
,she waltzes
through rugged
streets finding
Safety and security
-----------------
Love
looked like
an angel
Asleep or awake
She'd smile like it
But never
claimed to
be one
and no matter
how much you
Try to convince
Her, she'll never
ever
Believe you
---------------

Love
is the one
that cares
Hugs and pats
you on the head
Comforts and cheers
you up with
the best that
she can
and with even
her mere presence
and soft "hello"
you'd feel ecstatic
and would
burst with joy
----------------------

Love
is what I see
in that girl
even when she
doesn't see it
herself
She'll make you
believe that
you don't
But all the more
you will see
love
in her
--------------------
Sometimes, love needs to be seen
Sometimes, love needs to be felt
Sometimes, love needs to be heard
But at all times, love needs to be out there

I still remember how your hand held mine
How your smile would just stop time
I remember how you'd blush
How you'd just amaze me too much
I remember how you'd make me shy
It'd be crazy for me to say "hi"
Sadly, these are just memories of mine
Don't worry, I'll be just fine

I'll just close my eyes and remember your smile

You were once like the Sun
GfS Aug 2015
Like the Sun
you shined
with every smile
you pulled
and I couldn't
bring myself to
look your way
as I was in a state that
my eyes could only
be for the earth
below
As much as
I wanted to see
the light of your being
my mind and body
did not dare to fathom
what kind of joy
is there in store for me
but
as my eyes grew curious
...
I looked
I looked at the sun
and like everyone
who dared to look
I was blinded
I was blinded too well
I looked past every burn
you gave me
and I just let myself
frolic
under the scalding humid
atmosphere
fooling myself that it was
your love
or something
was it?
was the warmth just
something that
I brought myself
to believe that it was?
Or.. was it real?
Either way... you were

My Curse
GfS Jun 2015
I am cursed with words
for words were never mine to begin with
I am knowledgeable of words
but never the knowledge itself
words are not the language I speak
Words are a curse for me

You*
You have a gift with the words I don't speak
Cause words are in love with you
I fathom at the heart of your soul
For that is where words reside

I cannot speak truly of what I have in mind
For I have said before,
words are a curse to me
Because I have no words to speak
I only have my mind and soul to listen

I question why I have no gift with words
Because with words, I cannot speak
For I wish to ask the God almighty
To give me the words I seek

I could only wish for words
as sweet as yours
Because your words seem to breathe
I wish to speak the words
that go beyond dreams
The words that stay in
somnambulistic silence

No one uses them as well as you
It's like you dwell in another realm
I could only wish to have words like yours
But alas, *my curse is silence
Maybe it would've been better if I remained in silence

Why Love?
GfS Jul 2015
People around me always ask those questions of
"Who do you love?"
"What do you love?"
"Where did you love"
"When did you love?"
"How do you love?"

But not so often do I hear someone ask
"Why do you love?"
I guess it's because every one of us
will never get a satisfactory answer
I mean, I guess it's true for me
because a reason why is never
greater than reasons why

Well, for the sake of sharing
I will tell you one of mine

"Because I can't afford to hate"

As cliched as it sounds
it seems a reason good enough for me

As a person who has seen more than
his fair share of death firsthand
You'd get to see stories of people
who died never seeing what love was
who died never experiencing love
who died never knowing love
who died never seeing their love again
who died never experiencing love again
who died never knowing love again

and for a chronically sick person like me
I can't afford my life spent on hate on anyone
I can't afford hate more than what is human

Maybe, it's just being positive, but..
Love while you can still love
Because the mere fact that you are alive is love already

Just trying to stay positive

Nighttime coffee
with just the two of us
etching memories
on that side of the shop
laughing, smiling, crying
with the cold air around
remembering and forgetting
whatever worries we had before
looking back at that moment
where hearts were
as transparent as they can be
the time we lost was realization
that we can never be
unless you make it be
for there will be a day
not too long from now
that you and I will part
farther than the universe
can ever imagine
where your pulse grows stronger
and mine grows weaker

if today or the next
will be my (hopefully not) last
know that I want to be
the last who'll ever be
the one who hurts you
For what it's worth
this is how I say

I had a dream once
where the light
finally took me
and the pain stopped,
eternal bliss and euphoria
stepped up and gunned
me down to never ending joy
as if for once,
the universe cooperated
but you looked at me
with a pained look
in your eyes
more than I have ever seen
and it hurt me
to see you scream in agony
as your tears fell
clattering on my deathbed
wishing I could be there
to wipe your tears of
your lashes

but I lay there helplessly
only to regret
not holding you more
than I should have
before the light took me

The Last Good Night
GfS Jun 2015
There's a faint sound of wind against my ear
and the laughter of children playing around
As I lay down on the field resting without a care
I feel a gentle gander above me
As closed as my eyes could be
I felt a slight press against my arm
I felt a familiar warmth as time flew by
It was her that rested beside me
by each other's side we rested til dusk
and woke up next to each other's gaze
We yawned then laughed at each other's hair
But boy, was she still beautiful after that
She stood up and said goodbye
and that was the last time I heard her say "good night"

The Girl
GfS Mar 2018
You're the girl
that eats too much
too little
Yet reminds me all the same
to not do so
like all the food
is forbidden to my mouth
as it is welcomed in yours
and yet all your meals
the smallest and tallest
you un-finish just the same

You're the girl
that sings songs
with different lyrics
like each one from
the same writer
even your favorite song
would have different lyrics
every time
even your favorite singer
would be surprised to hear
different words to their rhymes

You're the girl
whose own forgetfulness
digs her own grave
bringing the fate of the sea
and the future of her children at stake
making you more dangerous
that at times make me shake
as you stare blankly into space

You're the girl
who hides all too much
yet claims to have shown me everything
and with most instances
of the past brought up
is forsaken and replaced
by an unforgiving face

Yes, you are the girl
that my mother warned me about
from my lips to my soul
stolen by your kiss
and with every embrace comes
a commonly unwelcomed warmth;
every emotion brings me closer to insane

but
you are also the girl
my mother never told me about
the unreasonably kind
and unusually gentle
and with every smile
comes sincerity
despite whatever darkness
hides behind it

You are the girl
who cared more than
I never thought could be
and loved the monster
I never thought
was inside me

You are the girl
who embraced all the warmth
I could give; all that I have
looked at me and smiled
like what I have is more than enough
even though what I have
will never be enough

Yes
You are the girl
who forgets all the songs and lyrics you loved
but you remembered me;
thought of me
more than I never could do for myself

Yes
You are the girl
who stole my lips and my soul
but you stole my broken heart
that I never thought was still there
and stuck all the pieces with every kiss
with no trace of a shattered piece

You are the girl
that looked beyond
whatever future I had left
and looked a plans A-Z
with every possible alphabet
while I stare at you
thinking of how long
will I still be able to

You're the girl
my mother should've told me about
You're the girl
that should've been all this time
You're the girl
I never though would be but did
You're the girl
You are THE girl

Angel
GfS May 2015
Today, I entered an everyday hell
The Nightmares and noise were more than I could tell
Peace and silence were never there
And every war was never fair
I saw nothing right,
and everything was just blight.
I could not see any blessed light
for peace was never there to fight
But amidst the angry mobs
and everyone that sobs
Beyond the corruption
And every destruction,
An angel appears before me
And takes my breathe completely
As I continued on with the difficult trials
She comforted me with single smile
The angel then lifted my soul
From this hell full of rotten coal
She brought my heart in the right place
Where everything was going in a  comfortable pace.
But the angel disappears and hell begins again
It seems that I still have things to amend.
Today, I entered an everyday hell*
But I won't worry, everything's swell
Cause I'll hold my head up high
For again, I'll be able to see her smile.

Crushing Words
GfS Jun 2015
We knew what we felt for each other
though sadly, they face other directions
A few seconds, we spoke only the two of us
in those seconds were the words that crushed me
"I'll be a bad girl"
...
Why?
Why do you do this to yourself?
Why did it return?

I'm not sure anymore
if I watched over you
too much
or
too little
but in any
possible circumstance
...
You shouldn't do this
Out of all the things I have written
that I may be too shy to show you
This
This is one that I wish you can and will read
...
and for another one out there, I know you can read this
and I hope this goes through you as well

It's not in your tears
that I've seen your pain
It's the fake smiles
that you bring out in
raindrops or sunshine

I've seen my fair share of
people putting up a face
to show others that they're okay
when in fact, they're in a craze

The kind of people who put on
such a fabricated smile
at the brontides and oblivions
when their tears fall inside than out

I've met too many of them
that I've lost fingers for counting
and with toes are not enough
to give you an exact number of people
I've met.. I've witnessed.. I've lost

Maybe, I cared because
I did not want to lose another
I did not want to lose a friend
I did not want to lose you

I've met many of them
young and old
sometimes, I believe that
I've seen more than my
"fair share" than what is actually
"fair"

Sad to say; I've lost another
though greatful; it's not you
Would you blame me if
I was scared to lose people?
when people get lost too much?

Please find your way back
back to where smiles didn't need
to be as fake as they are now
It's not nice to lose a person/ a friend/ a loved one to sadness
It's not nice at all...

And never have I seen a sunset more
compelling than the sunset back home.
Maybe, from where I'm standing now
None compares to the sunsets at Manila
Maybe, you'd know what I'm talking about
When I would someday show you why

Instead of where I stand, I wish I was there
With you by my side, watching our special
sunsets. Like the world was meant just for the two of us. As much as each sunset gleams, it shines with much fervor every moment we see it. Maybe, it's just an illusion, or maybe it's real. But the most wonderful sunsets are at home with you.
I could only wish I've traveled with you.

Possession
GfS Sep 2015
I'm afraid that I am possessed by a persistent beast
It crawls in my stomach
and makes my heart beat faster
It feeds on our encounters
and whenever our hands
would suddenly reach one another,
my lungs stop and
my mind would yearn more of it.

I'm afraid that I'm possessed by a very persistent beast
It haunts me day and night
with your image
your phantasm
The memories
that you are with me
and I with you,
both interlocked in the moment
They slither to my thoughts
every night I lay down to sleep
and I when I wake up,
I open my eyes
like I came from
sweet inebriation

I'm afraid that I'm possessed by a very persistent beast
that brings me to a perpetual state of anesthesia
that confuses me to believe
That the world
is a wonderful place
and no man, animal, or object can ever harm me
That the world is beautiful with it's own faults
and that every moment in the dark
is just another moment
to be shed brighter in the light

I'm afraid that I'm possessed by a very persistent beast
and I cower at the thought
that I might hurt myself knowingly
yet I promised you that wouldn't

Please tell me how
to tame this very persistent beast
this beast that everyone calls
"
Love*"
Please teach me how to tame it

Trees
GfS May 2015
Out of all the living things that are alive on this planet, I believe that the true witnesses of love were the trees that root the earth. In the history of the world, you will always see one growing tall and strong. And if you don't see one growing, then you'd find yourself unwitnessed of your love. For in the trees were carvings of every movement of the wind, sun and rain. Markings of wars that fought for love, and names of people who fought with love. The trees were there to witness love through the air, for every moment the air becomes wind was a moment that love was being felt. Maybe, when we cut a tree, maybe we should first think of the love it witnessed. For every tree that's cut, believe that it once saw and felt love. Whether it was plant or animal, human or God. It was there to witness love.

All I ask from you now is to pray.
Keep praying til I want what you want
If what you want is for me to stop loving you
If what you want is for me to give up on you
Please pray harder if that's what you want
Cause everyday, I'd love you longer and longer
Everyday, I'd have fallen for you
over and over and over again
Pray til I want what you want
If that is what you really and truly want

It'd be selfish for me to ask you love me
the same way that I love you
So here I ask, pray
*Pray til I want what you want
Please keep praying for me

If
If music was the closest thing to the mind of God
I'd write songs and score sheets with you name
For every time one would sing a song about you
Your name will be embedded in His grace

If writing was the greatest thing mankind has ever made
I'd write every poem, ode, sonnet in your name
For every human being that reads about you
Your beautiful name will be immortalized in our brains

If art is the only way to see in a mind of another
Every painting, drawing, sketch sculpture, would have your face
For every moment that one would see a work of art
They would see what I see in you every time you'd smile
I'm pretty sappy, but I'm happy

We are all but arrogant beings
who swore by such

At times, I wonder
If you still think about me
Since that night when

and you told me that
It was once mutual
Do you remember?
Maybe, it didn't mean
anything or something
maybe, you didn't believe
me when I said what I said
Believe me when I say that
those words were
meant for you
words only for you
stories that only you know
believe me when I say that
I did not say a single lie
believe in what I said
And I hope you'd
remember it in time
but in case if you've forgotten
Or maybe it wasn't made clear
So here, I'll say it once again...
*I'm in love with you, dear.
I'll repeat it, again and again until I break your lovely skull to understand it.
