A start
Wick Sep 2017
I am a spectrum of possibilities
mistakes, magic, and life
the world is our prism
so be my light.

A Picture
Wick Sep 2017
A picture may hold a thousand of things
could be of a man and of a woman
with two golden rings.
or of a mother and her newborn son in a room on a hospital wing.
A picture may hold a thousand of things
but it couldn't quite hold
Your smile
and our forgotten feelings.

My love for you
Wick Jun 2018
is a poetry
a limerick
a tragedy
That ends with you not sure of your love for me.

Young Love
Wick Oct 2017
I treasure every morning
with us lounging in the terrace
limbs intertwined under a blanket
your warmth is my warmth

i treasure the taste of coffee
shared with every kiss
i always preferred mine decaf because cheesy it may be
your smile is already enough to wake me

i treasure life
for if not for it
there would never be an I
to love such a wonderful you

i treasure you
every curve, every feature
even those that are rough around the edges
because even real diamonds are never perfect.

To trust

is to put a dagger in people's able hands
hoping they won't slit your throat
when come daylight ends.

palpable
Wick Dec 2021
I need not your words,
I need your presence,
bring symphony to thine verse,
actualization.
let me touch your love
drip through me like light from early morning sun above
I am a wanderer lost in your smile,
lead me to your hearth  
show me where I can embrace you for I seek your warmth.
for you are my rest
and you are my waking.
there will never be a sensation like you,
forever none surpassing.
I wrote this poem inspired of people separated from their loved ones due to the pandemic and travel restrictions. May our love persist.

the sun, my heart
things that were once alive
fueled by things such as love and lies
now are black holes
the sun, my heart
on some faraway skies.

you blossomed, but in time

"I'm sorry"
Wick Sep 2017
Truth can falter under the weight of fear
though it be struggling
though in every way, its trying
to be heard, to be reckoned
when Consequence lays its fang bare
it can lead an honest man to err
and as another breathes his last
guilt encompasses thus.
Happened to a friend of mine. I couldn't help but make a poem out of it.

innocence
Wick Sep 2017
You were a dandelion
yellow and alone
in the cold white winter snow
you've grown
it was sad, how early you have awakened
I draw near
was surprised
for you were not shaken
a smile in your face
a question in my mind
I thought I knew it all, yet
I stand without a clue
you beamed and asked,
"Why so blue?"

tips paano hindi makasakit:
Wick Jan 2023
Wag piliting magmahal ng iba
Pag sarili ay di pa kayang mahalin
Bigyang kahulugan ang sariling talata
Ito’y sa iba huwag hanapin
Pagkat ang malabong imahe
pag binigyan **** kulay,
sadyang malabo parin.

to love and be loved
Wick Nov 5
to have loved deeply is to be mold
carved by the warmth of the hands you dearly hold
to be loved is to be told
of love reciprocated,
words affirming,
priceless yet cannot be sold.

finit
Wick Jan 2023
it was real
but it was not love
it was cleanly folded paper forming origami doves
but its not doves
nor was it love.

it demanded to be felt
to have a deeper meaning in the proximity
like constellations up above
but it was not love
misread by the heart
like stars seemingly aligned to one another but lightyears apart
it was not love.

i wish to stay,
pray,
fight for it to be what we want it to be,
love
but its not enough,
not if its not love.

A shooting star
That comes and go
With all my love
And hope,
And wishes
That'll never
Come true.
Never to return again.

tense times
Wick May 2020
I found a genie in a bottle
While was gardening
I rubbed it three times
but it wont do a thing
So I asked through the bottle
Why nothing's happening
it answered
"nah bro, I shan't go out, were in quarantine"

back to hellopoetry
Wick Jan 2023
I revisited this site and saw
How much I've written, how much I've grown.
Saw poems I cant believe I wrote
Words uttered, rhymes of note,
Emotions shared and shown,
Lines made repository of happiness and woes.

Some things have changed
While other remained the same.
I still write about love
Yet love eludes me all the same.
I cant write as actively as I want to be
Inspiration doesn't come in troves anymore, you see.

With age comes responsibilities,
Opened eyes requires facing life's realities.
But I'll continue living, maybe write a line or two
Maybe post it here, just like you do.
Life is hard, that much is true
But I'll still strive to thrive and I hope you do too.

Live, find the beauty in things,
Wonderful sceneries, family gatherings,
special people or precious pets,
in choices you've made, with or without regrets,
I hope even in love lost or memories that stings
You'll find the sliver of good that hopefully it brings

Live through books, music, or through poems
If there is not a person or a place,
may words be your home.
may you always have a home.

good vibes
Wick Apr 2020
we lost our car today
we put it up for assume
'cause we hit a hard patch
and were not able to pay
but hey
surprisingly were okay
mom cooked some good food
and ****, we love her beef broccoli sauté
its as they say
sometimes in life, things just doesnt go the way
you want it be
but time will come
we'll be more than okay
me and my family.

that's why she wont meet my eyes

she was just afraid I'd see through her lies.

a step forward
Wick Apr 2020
i've let go of the pen
that used to be inseparable to me
as i let go of the reason
for most of my poetries

                                          but now a year later
                                     a year older, more mature
  
                                                       ­                           i've let go of the pain
                           bid goodbye to the woes brought by her uncertainty
                                                     ­                         i've let go of the person
                                                          ­                for real this time, happily
it took some time to heal but here i am again. I'm back!

rumination
Wick Sep 2021
Thoughts traverse my mind
As I walk the road home,
Steps mindlessly taken forward.
By myself, but not alone.

Kept company by my thoughts
About today, about tomorrow,
Of my actions of yesterday
Filled of happiness, or of sorrow.

Have I done what I could?
Is what I've done, what I should?
Should I have done what I did?
Why was I so cringe as a kid.

Given a chance for a life do-over,
Would I make the same choices again?
If I change some things, will I do better?
Or will it be for naught; in vain.

What should I do tomorrow?
Would it still be the same as today?
Am I doing what I want in life?
Or am I wasting it all away?
Am I just going to be stuck here forever?
Existing but so monotonously
Or can I live with the consequences of doing what I want,
And let things be?


Oh this thoughts, they walk with me.
Unrelenting, everyday, constantly.
On the road home, directions known with certainty,
I walk lost in dysphoric reverie.
105 · Sep 2021
is this adulthood?
Wick Sep 2021
tiredness, nowadays
never goes away

it sways
the thoughts that grow in my brain,
it lingers
like drizzle, whispering after sonorous rain

the tiredness
oh it never goes away
it accumulates
it reverberates
it stays.
until one decays.

A letter to you
Wick Dec 2018
Paper filled with words
not enough to contain
all this emotions,
all this pain.
This pen, with ink
not black enough to paint
All these thoughts.
Poetry,
So shallow
not deep enough to hold
the vastitude
of what I wish I could've told.

If i could,
I'll replace these words with my voice,
Ink with my blood,
this poem with my body
To reach you till it aches
to forgive you, caress you
even if it breaks,
just allow me a chance
to fix our mistakes.

i wish i was mature
Wick Apr 2020
You're a light
Of course you bring with you
shadows of your past
But alas,
I wish i was mature
But i am not
I still ask
Will i also become
A shadow of your past?

Wick Nov 4
Do you miss me too?
Does the silence contain my voice?
Is it loud? Is it soft? All the things we said for each other,
Does it ring true?
Does the blanket unwrinkled reminds you of my absence?
Does the empty space contain the memories of our embrace?
Do you get a sense of something lacking just before you sleep?
An affectionate gaze, a particular warmth, the feeling of comfort from bodies latching perfectly into place.
Do you wake up with a sense of loss?
Is this what you actually want most?
Do I haunt your mind like these questions that I have?
Because you do.
Everywhere I go; in everything that I do
There is you.
I miss you.
****, I miss you.

— The End —
