Ysa Pa Jun 2016
She was exhausted but continued.
As she battled her demons
She suffered like an aurora
Brightening the coldest of regions

Unwarm and surrounded by ice
Her overpowering resilience resonates
And while immersed in shadows
Her unyielding strength illuminates

She was scarred and bruised
Overwhelmed by her darkness
She was a cold and painful sight
But beautiful nonetheless
Ysa Pa Jun 2016
Oo ginawa mo na ang lahat
Binigay mo ang higit pa sa nararapat
Bumangon, tumakbo at tumalon ka na
Nagkandasubsob at nagkadapa-dapa ka pa
Tumawid ng bundok at ng mga karagatan
Ikaw ay nalunod at nasaktan
Nagsunog ng kilay, at kinalimutan ang tulog
Hinarap mo lahat at ikaw ay nagpabugbog
Ginawa mo ang lahat ng makakaya mo
Ngunit ikaw ay nabigo
Masakit, oo! Walang duda yan
Lalo na kung nalahat na ang iyong kakayahan
Nakakalugmo at nakakadusa
Nakakaiyak at nakakawalang pag-asa
Parang pinagsukloban ng langit at lupa
Parang pinagkaitan ng lahat ng mga tala
Mahirap! Masakit! Oo alam ko
Pero hindi pa ito ang huli o dulo
Maniwala ka sakin, mahirap pero kakayanin
Masakit pero hindi imposibleng gawin
Kung kelan nakasuka ka na ng dugo
Tangina! Ngayon ka pa ba susuko?
Lets just say that something happened...
Ysa Pa Jun 2016
A lightning array of seductive words
A thunderous momentum which I've heard
With your each exhale, sound escapes
As I inhale your words, the meaning resonates

Wandering for so long, I wasn't lost
Walking atop boundaries of the uncrossed
I wasn't lost but was somehow found
By the overwhelming resonance of your sound

With all the energy I have yet to exhaust
And with these cold hands that need to defrost
My ink gratifies what has been and what has passed
That someone spoke what I needed to hear at last
Ysa Pa Jun 2016
You hate roses and bouquets, saying they're too typical
But you're in love with white lilies
You loved chocolates but hated getting those as gifts
You liked oversized long-sleeves, sweaters, hoodies and jackets
You said it made you feel small and the world suddenly gets bigger
Love sunrises but can't wake up to watch it
Love sunsets because of everything about it but the sun
Love the night but hate darkness
Love mornings but can't open eyes because its too bright
Love sound but musically-declined
Love violins but cry when hearing it
Love water but as extreme as fire
Loved the midnight blue
But you're more of a maroon red
You're fearless and full of strength
But afraid of being powerless
You don't know how to love
But you loved me perfectly
You were afraid of love
But that was the air you breathe
Insecure but so sure
You are ambiguously specific
You are also explicitly vague
That was why I chose you
And I think that was why you stayed
Ysa Pa Jun 2016
Every time, my eyes becomes aware
Of your existence, whenever you're there
I get flashbacks, I faintly remember
Our precious love, our faded ember

I recall the bittersweet laughter
I reminisce the times we're together
But let me correct those false thoughts
There is no dramatic rekindling onslaught

It's not that I still love you
It's that you remind me of what's true
It's not because I'm dwelling in the past
It's because I feel like my own outcast

The sight of you reminds me of back then
You trigger memories of me when
I could still love wholeheartedly
I remember the past loving me

Every time I see you, I recall who I was
I get flashbacks of this person of the past
The me back then who knew of love
The me before who could still love

The me who could love without worries
Without doubts and cannot be seized
The me who's unafraid of being hurt
The me who has nothing to avert

The me who loved you wholeheartedly
The me who I remember whenever it's you I see
I no longer love you but I love the me who previously could
I love the me that gets reminded by  who turned me to couldn't
Ysa Pa May 2016
Our time in a daze, heated in ice
Unheated but warm as our hands intertwined
Uncovering paradox from those eyes
Hypnotized by what's momentarily mine

Paused in our own time, frozen in heat
In the cold and wrapped in your embrace
Presence of victory but a hint of defeat
I saw shadows faintly dance on your face

All the stars and moon soon out of sight
The singing of clouds, the crying sun
Painted and decorated by morning light
Not losing what was already gone

And while the foggy morning sky
Enveloped and dyed the entire room blue
Along with our false belief and pretentious lie
We had a solid and unpaintable scarlet hue
Ysa Pa May 2016
All I wanted was
For you to do a task
To find my heart, uncover it
Find my heart then break it

Not to cut it in half, or in two
I wanted it shattered by you
Turn it to dust and to sand
I want it pulverized by your hand

Because I believed in the concept of
To be broken, one must first be loved
Not pretentious but to be loved truly
And so, I wanted you to break me

I want something worth experiencing
A painful love that's earth shattering
I wouldn't feel pain if it was untrue
So it would be an honor to be broken by you

I know that this would lead to scrutinizing eyes
But they don't understand so let them criticize
I would be willing to hurt and to agonize
For something not enveloped by lies

For the realness that everyone craves for
For the hypnotic truth I adore
I hereby permit you to demolish my walls
I ask you to destroy me with your all

To turn what's whole into smithereens
To turn into ashes what's pure and clean
To pulverize and disintegrate what I treasure
To break me, I grant you the right and power

But before all of that blood thirst
You need to locate my heart first
Find my heart in the deepest ravines
Find what has yet to be seen

Swim through the abyss of my lost thoughts
Gain what no one else was able to sought
Pass through the labyrinth of my soul
Tear down my defenses, penetrate my walls

Locate my heart and once you do
Feel free to break me because I've fallen for you
