At night,
when the sea is still,
you can't tell sky from water,
and everything is
convoluted mirrors
spiraling away into darkness:
an abyss of serpentine stars,
warping the night sky
into a kaleidoscope
of constellations.
The sky is full of stars,
and I get the euphoric sensation
that I am floating in space,
suspended in stellar time
with nothing but oblivion
and pinpricks of light
around me.
Somehow,
this brings me comfort.
It is reassuring
to pretend as though
I am significant
in this world.

inggo
Makasama ka lang kahit sandali
Kakayanin maghintay ng matagal
Nais ko lamang na ikaw ay mapangiti
Maiparamdam sayo lahat ng aking pagmamahal
Old poem :)

pahiwatig* _=
hayaan **** ang sumpong ng katahimikan ko
ang siyang maging gawi sa pag-sigaw ng puso ko
habang dumarampi sa iyo ang tatlong ihip ng hangin
sa tuwing ikaw ay nakaharap man o hindi sa salamin

bagamat ikaw nga at ako
magkabila man ang mundo
pinag-adya ng di sinasadyang destino
kagaya ng singsing na walang puno't dulo

dahil sa kahabaan ng lansangan
sa aking mga paglalakbay
lakbay-diwa kong tinatahak
kaibuturan ng hanap kong landas

kaakibat ng paalala **** may gabay
wag naman sanang maliligaw
itong puso kong pigil-hininga
**habang pinapakinggan-inaawit sa kanta.......

""" Di ko alam hanggang kailan tayo
Di ko mabago ang ikot ng mundo
Pero sama ka sa aking biyahe
Atin lamang ang araw na ito
Ang buhay ay sinasakyan lang yan
Di ko alam ang tungo kung saan
Pag sumama ka sa aking biyahe
iaalay ko ang puso ko ohhhh...""" (by Josh Santana)

I have for you a brand new word:
Of “Nightmare” we all have heard,
But now I give you
“Daymare”.

Yes, a day of Daymares –
Those little nagging Anxieties
That grow to deep Depression.
Can I pay my bills?
Will I pass my exams?
What will people think (of me)?

We all have had those Daymare days
When all goes wrong
And nothing will go right.

Bad days
Like when my parents died,
Nervous breakdowns,
Running over a cat
And a squirrel.
Fillings falling out.
Lunch is burnt.
We’re flooded!
And many more.

Times of sadness, anger and frustration.
Times to cry.
Times when it’d be better
To Die.

So, here I give you “Daymare”:
A word I hope
You seldom have to use.

I invented a new word.... and wrote this...but then I found that no other than Charles Dickens used it! Separate inventions of course and a word worth bringing back.....
