Continue Poetry
XIII Apr 2015
Be it from happiness or depression
From butterflies in your stomach
Or from secret frustrations
From your sanity intact
Or from your dark hallucinations
From your broken heart
Or from fresh or healing wrist wound
From love letters you write
Or journeys to the moon

Continue your poems
Let it be the ink of hope
Let everything, good or bad, be your inspiration
To write one more poem tomorrow
To look forward to tomorrow

Just keep on writing
Keep on rhyming
Continue your poetry
I have read a lot of poems here about depression, love and a lot more. It is okay. Whatever your experiences are, good or bad, use these, draw powers from these to write more. Continue your poetry.

Guess the Passcode
XIII Jul 2013
Befriend with me and help me find which is gone
Had A to Z, still there's something wrong
Swiftly search, for it's all alone
J V X Q, for the sake of completing the poem
This poem has a passcode (dedicated to my significant other). I just thought this is worth sharing. You guys are welcome to take your guess about the passcode. :)

You do not write for them,

So write! Do not be afraid of their criticism. No matter how ****** your poems are, no matter how usual the words you use, or even if your words do not rhyme at all.

The Draft
XIII Jul 2013
The author took a break
To search for more ideas to take
But something came in an unexpected way
That changed the way he can relate

The author again, paused
Rereads again, the drafted poem
Did his break take very long?
For he can't seem to grasp the point

Was it him who wrote that?
He asked himself as he stress-fully sat
He confirmed it was indeed him but,
He fully understood, but now he can't

He thinks hard, really hard
On the wooden table in front
He hits his head with a bang
Then eureka! How can he forgot?

There it was on the tip of his tongue
It was hiding, but it was never gone
He stood up lazily upon a call from someone
Maybe the drafted poem should remain drafted for it to be done

You still haunt my dreams
Turn it into nightmare
As if you still own it

You still walk my mind
In there, you should already be gone

I already killed you

Or it wasn't bull's eye?

And so again I'll raise my ******
Ready to hit you in the head
This time, I won't miss

She is a girl first

She is part of a family first

She is a girlfriend first
before she is my lover

And I always come second.

Closer To Inch
XIII Mar 2015
You have to drag yourself
Just to keep the dosh coming
To keep kinfolk from starving
Despite all these heavy lifting

You enter that poisonous atelier
Inside a cubicle, sit on your chair
Play staring games with computer screen
Drink a juice of coffee bean

That place, a modern day slavery ring
Where your ego is bruised and badly beaten
They own you 'cause they give you payslips
But even with that you know it ain't worth it

But that place isn't at fault
It's those who own the vault
They keep to them what's inside
They won't share, they hide

Under a mask of kindness
They advertise false incentives
But they won't give what you deserve
'Cause it belongs in their pockets

They won't listen to your pleads
Neither tend to your needs
Silently blackmail you instead
And then there goes your thread

Your thread, closer to inch
Your patience about to ditch
You know you'll burst sooner or later
They'll regret it all, when with them, you're finally over

Loving You Keeps Me Alive
XIII Nov 2017
You’re the reason of my existence, the one first love that makes me alive
The love that even so many years couldn’t erase
Come back and find the place that’s yours
By my side

You’re my own breath, my open wound
You know I still remain even in your heart, right?
Do not turn away from your own truth
Come to me

From the moment I saw you, everything was transformed
Just whispering your name and my world shakes
Our bond is beyond time, we’re destined to be together
Come back to me once again
Dance with me towards dawn

You’re the only one for me
The only light of my vain existence
Only you makes me complete, my love

From the moment I saw you, even breathing… I can’t even breathe
Just whispering your name and my world shakes

Our bond is beyond time, we’re destined to be together
Now come back to me
Let’s dance together towards dawn

At Least
XIII May 2016
Let me be your darkness,
so you can shine your brightest.
Let me be your devil,
for your angels to ****.
Let me be your villain,
for you - the protagonist to reign.
Let me be your nightmare,
to hear your sigh of relief once awake.

Let me be the stain,
you cannot wash away.
Let me be your curse,
that you cannot run away from no matter what course.
Let me be the memories,
you want to erase.
Let me be your past,
that will continue to haunt you as time passes.
Let me be your sin,
that you desperately confess again and again.


Let me be these..
for me to be a part of your life, at least..
Oh let me be..
*So you can never be whole, without me.

Beelzebub
XIII Nov 2017
A mortal and a maiden
Loved each other
So much that they didn't thought back then
That they'll end

A god betrothed the maiden
Leaving the mortal broken
But after loving himself
He should fight, he realizes

But the only way to fight a god
Is for the mortal to become a Beelzebub
And because he knows their love is mutual
He became the devil; sacrificing it all

The mortal waged war with god
Fights with the maiden on his mind
Fights with all his might
Fights a losing fight

And as the god's final blow struck
As the mortal's body drops
His evilness slowly leaves out
Along with his life

The maiden runs up to him
As they heard the god laughing
"It wasn't a fight that he could've won.
But yours, the maiden's decision."

The mortal heard the maiden weeping
Reached for her hand, with all his strength left
"Even if it was just for the love exhaled from your exhausted breath,
fighting a losing fight was worth it."

Timed Love
XIII Jun 2014
Tick tock tick tock
Our love, it's like a clock
With a battery about to wear
It causes paranoia I swear

Tick tock tick tock
Our love, it's like a bomb
Not knowing when it'll explode
We accepted it and explored

Tick tock tick tock
Like a medicine soon to expire
Taking it like my life, on it relies
Overdosed, like I wanna die

Tick tock tick tock
Like every New Year's countdown
But this has nothing to celebrate for
It's the time when our hearts will mourn

Tick tock tick tock
It is God's way to mock
I am just a human; He is God
I cannot do anything but to just absorb the shock

I Think You Did
XIII Apr 2016
I think you loved me

The first hug from behind
In the middle of the street

Our tears mixed
Upon our first antagonist

The "I love you" screams
During fireworks

The barefooted run
And exchange of shoes

Kisses and cuddles
And our little secrets

Breathtaking adventures
Touchdown places

Our very own runway
And gallery

Including bumps and dismays
The makeups that went with it

Those strict scoldings
For the betterment of my health

Our crazy antics
And bizarre trips

Intimate moments
Behind those every whispers

When you hold unto me
Like you won't let go, ever

But you did

Now that I think about it
I think you did

It's sad that I only think you did
'Cause I am very sure that I did

My Double-Edged Sword
XIII Mar 2015
You make me strong and bold
Yet you leave me trembling in cold
You boost my confidence
Yet you are my greatest weakness

You bring out the best in me
Along with my worst for everyone to see
You lift me high up
And then to gravity I succumb

I don't know if you're a friend or a foe
But somehow you managed to be both
A friend to lean on
A foe to challenge upon

You're a blessing and a curse
Oh I'm so blessed to be yours
You cast to me a roller coaster of emotions to burst
And only you hold the spell to break this oath

But please, don't get me wrong
Because I really do love this confusion
Turn me off, turn me on
If it's you, keep it coming, I want more

My First Poem for You
XIII Jul 2014
It all started with a handshake
Looking back it didn't really matter
One moment I wish to take
Vague to clear so that I can remember
Even words can't express
Just how a simple smile can change
One's life to know what happiness is
Y*et hearts can fully comprehend it's range
A poem to commemorate her arrival to my life. :)

Monologo sa Palubog na Araw
XIII Nov 2019
Tinanong ako ng palubog na araw,
"Bakit narito kang muli?
Sa sampung beses mo akong dinalaw,
isa lamang doon ang may dala kang ngiti."

Natawa ako sa katotohanan
Oo nga, hindi ko maikakaila
"Ika'y aking tinititigan,
kaya lamang mukhang may luha ang aking mga mata."

Tila nanginig ito sa halakhak
Alam n'ya ang kasinungalingan
Na kinumpirma ng isang patak,
dalawa, tatlo... hanggang 'di na mapigilan

Binigyan n'ya ako ng maraming kulay bilang sagot
Pilit pinapakita ang ganda sa kabila ng lungkot
Ngunit ang tanging nakikita ay ang lungkot sa likod ng ganda
Ganoon nga siguro talaga kapag nasasaktan ka

Lumisan ako nung lumubog na s'ya
Ngunit iniwan n'ya ang kasiguraduhan
Na naroon lamang s'ya
Upang aking balikan

Umaasang sa aking muling pagbabalik
Ang isa sa sampung beses ay maging dalawa
At madagdagan pang hitik
"Oh haring araw, nawa'y magdilang anghel ka."

It's so easy
to judge what you see,
to mock other's decisions,
when you don't actually know what's going on,
when you don't feel the same emotions,
when you're not in that exact same situation.

But, oh well,
it is human's expertise
to always throw judgment.
You're not wearing the same shoes as we are.

7 SINS
XIII Apr 2020
sloth
slouch on the couch
idly waste the time
tomorrow will always arrive

lust
because there is just
an insatiable thirst
lock the door first

gluttony
all of us would agree
that food is sacred
no one's satisfied until fed

wrath
take an anger bath
soak in its vengeance
until the last dance

pride
it is your guide
to stand on the mountain high
stepping unto others 'til they die

envy
because you don't wanna see
what you do not possess
take it; claim it; in every possible ways

greed
giving is not your deed
why, if you can horde
you'll be the master—the lord

because everyone is guilty
of the seven sins so deadly
you can deny it, but then quietly
your guilt eats you, painful and slowly

To Your Present
XIII Apr 2015
Yes you are!
Why do you think otherwise?
Forget the future and the past
You are the present, you are the now

You may have thousands of foe
But no one can remove you from your throne
No force can revoke
The spotlight is yours

You are the chosen one
She chose you over thousands
Realize the advantage you have
Utilize the power inside

No need to fear
No need for insecurities
Not even jealousy
Neither things you foresee

For they are veils
Used to keep you from knowing
That you are the protagonist, the prince
The one who'll save the heroine

-

*I am writing this to you
Me, the confident version of you
You have probably forgotten about me
So I'll have you take a good look at me

Because I need to end your trilogy
The last one is full of negativity
I'll take the steering wheel and shift gears
I'll take it from here
Poem after "To Your Future".
This serves as the end of the "To Your.." Trilogy.

To Your Past
XIII Jul 2013
I thank you for being her past
And for not making it last
For all the heartaches you cast
For being her eyes’ ***** dust

I thank you for making her like you
To be close to the one you love true
In a short time you made her fall for you
Even though your intentions weren’t true

I thank you for all her friends who turned their backs on her
Also to those friends you hurt whom she hold dear
Thank you because she held back liters of tears
Because of you, she gained a lot of fears

I thank you for taking advantage of her weakness
Because of that you had her first kiss
She was fond of that memory the least
To the extent that she wanted it all to be erased

I thank you for making her like and love someone as useless as you
I can say I’m better than you with a slight difference in value
Because in front of her or not, I always stay true
Even if it took a long time, I waited for her to say I do

I thank you, for she found her real friends
Those who won’t ever leave no matter what happens
She treasured more those who stayed in every means
She knew who were for keeps, and it all made sense

I thank you for that ugly first kiss
No worries, I replaced it with more bliss
It was so magical; she considered it her first
I sealed her lovely lips with my lips

I thank you for all those hard times
She became much stronger after leaving it all behind
I became her outlet, to me she sometimes cries
But I make sure after that, she’ll brightly smile

I thank you, you who almost got a wonderful girl in your hand,
You probably had the girl, who any man would want
That’s why I thank you for not giving a ****
To the girl who I truly love with my soul, heart and mind
