Ysa Pa May 2017
As the walls and ceiling spun
The scent of alcohol overpowered yours
With cognitive reasoning gone
It seems easier to get allured
Though the entire body was hot
You still longed for something warm
It seems permanence mattered not
As you held me with gentleness of a storm
Us, Dancing to an old tune
Unspoken of and unheard by most
And audience by none but the moon
While overwhelmed by the liquors' ghost
And as the moonlight pirouettes on skin
My hands travel from your chest to nape
You pulled me closer, as if we're melting
My skin ignited as you traced my shape
Pressing lips like never before
Shadows and silhouettes danced as one
Held closely as if tomorrow was no more
To be precise, tomorrow is when you'll be gone
Perfectly flawed, you and I
Not an 'us' nor a 'we' never 'ours'
Not fully genuine but not a complete lie
I still treasure these limited flawed hours
Always there but never mine
Always here but never yours
I still refuse to accept the signs
That ours is not an open door
...
...
You and I
Here I am
There You are
But "us", "we", "ours" is not in sight
Never was
...
And I'm terrified that it never will be

Scribbling the thoughts away again
Finding the perfect combination
Of symbolisms and phrases
To create the perfect  illustration
Something to represent
With conciseness and ambiguity
The earth shattering well of emotions
Which you made me go through daily
From too good to be true
Till unlivable complications
I've compared you to pixie dust
Dragon's breath and volcanic eruptions
I've likened what we had to
Child like wonder, make believe, bright eyes
Bed time stories, the attic ghost
Rainbows, unicorns and stormy skies
I kept writing
To preserve what once was perfect
And to release what I can no longer carry
Something which we failed to protect
I've told exactly what happened
In a way that only you would know
I've written so many similar lines
Titled differently just for show
I've promised to stop
To stop writing for you
Yet here I am again
Without anything else to do
With stanzas you'll never read
And proses you'll never hear from me
No more stories, just plain words
Plain final words I hope, no more fantasies
I loved you, I might still do
But what used to be in is almost out
I'm tired, exhausted really, and I've had enough
I loved you, finally my ink is running out
The page filled up with scribbles
Full but empty at the same time
When ink no longer poured out
And words no longer rhymed
I exhaled, finally breathing again
I ran out of words but I'll keep writing
Writing till I don't know when
It may be unbelievable
But it's long overdue
To say that those future metaphors
Will no longer be for you
Unsent letter
Ysa Pa Feb 2017
During the brief moment
Of utmost vulnerability
The end of fairy tale kisses
Marking the era of a cruel reality

With the intention of shattering
You came, caressing the scars
With glimpses of desperation
And envying the collision of stars

With my inability to hinder
Your plans to have mine stolen
During my reconstruction of walls
You planned out the forbidden

You acted, without a shred of doubt
I responded, through utter loss
Now that its ended, I still can't believe
That what I warned others of, happened to us

With the unseen bruises
And a tale of pain
Washing off battle scars
Underneath the fading rain
With a twisted shadow
And a heart that once grieved
A limp triumphant stance
And a smile that says I lived
Ysa Pa Feb 2017
A stranger wanders off
Into the gloom of night
Knowing what's wrong
Not doing what's right
Prancing in dark alleys
Dancing in the dark
Singing on pavements
Painting walls, leaving marks
With eyes of burning crimson
A coat of midnight blue
Shoes of emerald green
And a soul of unpaintable hue
Sneaking into bedrooms
Whispering to dreams
Making nightmares fade away
Nothing is as it seems
A stranger sitting on ledges
With valiant hopeful eyes
Dancing in the darkness
Gently welcoming the sunrise
Ysa Pa Feb 2017
It's an old saying that to know
Whether one's love is true
You must first have a sip
Of the coffee they will serve you

The coffee, cozy and warm
The blend should be right
The sweetness not heavy
The creaminess not too light

A cup full of warmth
The perfect cup of joe
A blend to suit only you
There's more to tell you though

The old saying is incomplete
They forgot to mention
They left something out
Something that we should've known

Like coffee, love can be too hot
Singeing and scalding its way
It can also be served cold or chilled
Iced coffee isn't that bad anyway

Though it can be bitter or too sweet
You might be lucky to get the best lineup
The perfect blend of coffee served
But you're not the only one with the same cup

The entire room was swallowed
With the intoxicating scent of coffee
Found on the old wooden table
Is your mug, the same but now empty
Ysa Pa Dec 2016
Habang nag-iisa
At walang kamalay-malay
Ako'y nadampot ng mga
Naghahanap ng karamay

Nayaya ng promotor
At hindi na makatatakas
Hinamon ng mga tomador
At nagkasukatan na ng angas

Marami nang bote ang walang laman
Nakabasag na rin ng mga baso
Paubos na ang mga pulutan
Amoy na rin ang halimuyak ng chiko

May di matapos-tapos na asaran
May mga pikon ngunit puno parin ng tawa
May mga tulog na at may nagkukulitan
Mayroon din namang nagkukwento ng paluha

Walang humpay rin ang kantahan
Punong-puno ang lamesa ng kwnetuhan
Rinig hanggang langit ang halakhakan
Tuloy-tuloy lang ang kasiyahan

Masayang salo-salo
Matibay na pagsasamahan
At ang highlight dito
Ay ang hangover kinabukasan

Sana'y king bilis mawala
Gaya ng hangover kinabukasan
Ang aking mga alaala
At ang sakit ng iyong paglisan
Oops! There goes my heart, splattered all over the place again.
