Poets are poets, famous or not
they love, they kiss, they cry

And in any kind of weather
they spill their ink

Then let their words flow
whether rain or snow

Married or not, young or old
Sleeping in the cold

In sickness or in health
On a bed near death

Poets write about their love
poets write about life

Poets write and write and write
Some write until they die
Para sa mga taong hindi pinili. Para sa mga taong binigay ang lahat ngunit di naman binalik. Para sa mga taong umasa. Para sa akin.

1

Sakit.

Pag nakita mo siyang kasama niya, masasaktan ka na parang bang tinutusok nang maraming karayom ang puso mo. Tapos titignan mo ang iyong sarili at sasabihin "Anong kulang sa akin?"

Makikita mo lahat nang mali sayo. Makikita mo lahat nang pangit sayo. At dahil dito mawawala ang pagmamahal at respeto mo sa iyong sarili


2

Galit.

Magagalit ka sa mundo. Magagalit ka sa tadhana dahil hindi kayong dalawa ang pinag sama. Sisihin mo siya dahil hindi ka niya pinili at iba. Pero higit sa lahat, magagalit ka sa iyong sarili. Magagalit ka dahil hindi ka naging sapat para sa kaniya. Magaglit ka dahil hindi ikaw ang naging kaniya.


3

Talo.

Wala na. Wala ka nang magagwa dahil gusto na nila ang isa't isa. Wala ka nang magagawa, silang dalawa na ang pinagsama nang tadhana at hindi kayong dalawa. Tanggapin mo na. Hindi kayong dalawa. Hindi ikaw.

Dadating ang panahon na hindi mo na siya titignan. Dadating nag panahon na hindi ka na masasaktan. Dadating ang panahon na hindi ka na magagalit.

Pero sa ngayon, dito ka muna. Dito sa isang lugar na ika'y manhid na. Manhid sa kaniya. Manhid sa sakit. Manhid sa galit. Manhid sa iyong mga damdamin para sa kaniya. Kay rami mo nang napagdaan, magpahinga ka na.

I really dislike these changes you've made,
while some are okay
others have ruined my day.
This might be where my blog ends.
You cannot understand.
You see
what is,
and only know
what was,
in fragments
gleaned
from pilfered tombs.
Like shredded tomes,
whole,
but unintelligible.
What is it
you think you know?
Who do you see
when you review
the logs and docs?
Who
do you think you hear
muttering through
your dust caked speakers?
An angel
touched vessel?
Cracked
but not yet discarded?
Useful
despite its flaws.
Can you feel
the strain?
Can you taste
the stain?
Is it really precious,
or is it as false
as the piles of transcripts
dog-eared
and finger-smudged?
The prophesies
that have all fallen through.
Like the blue eyes
I was Promised.
The water,
a cliche.
A voice,
spoken to a child
in a bright
and steam-filled bathroom.
What is it you want
to discover
to uncover
to recover
from the pit
of past moments
and what makes you think
that any of it belongs to you?
Please, tell me. I am not speaking rhetorically.

nivek
with legs that can only take you so far
the mind traveller going places
I hitched a lift and read poetry aloud
to earn a crust on the way I sell fake stars
to unsuspecting billionaires
you know the types, too much money and no realistic way to spend it all before they die, so I help them along
the mind traveller is becoming my best friend
and I share some poetry to pass the time
just until we reach a destination that you wont find on any map.
