The lights skate across her cheeks and shine in her eyes
Argued that beauty's red and virtue's white
Yet our ambition makes us still to fight

Her touch that lifts the day from the mundane
My tongue-tied patience with too much disdain
Knowing her look torments me with disdain

She might think me of some benighted youth
My head swears to heart that she is made of truth
So she I lose, likely through my unkind abuse

You trade in your reality for a wing You trade in your sense for an act
You give up your ability to feel, to put on a mask

Away he steals your heart with an open listening ear
Stuffed up with his lust, as minutes fill up into hours
I'm used to your inner indecisiveness that is as wavering as a coward

Where is that place
Which ascends spirit to peace,
When exists only joy and grace
Where every trouble does cease?

Wondrous paradise;
Horizon of hue
Every sight experienced;
Always something new.

In the presence of this light
How could one deny

My Heaven

Is you.

Mga sinambit **** salita,
Mula sa binitawan **** "mahal kita",
Naglalaro sa aking isipan,
Akin parin kinakapitan.

Sa pag pikit ko ng aking mga mata,
Ikaw ang laging nakikita,
Sa dinami daming dahilan para kalimutan ka,
Heto ako patuloy na nag-aantay kahit alam kong wala na,

Tanong ko sa aking sarili, bakit ikaw pa?
Bakit ikaw pa at marami namang iba,
Sa bawat luhang bumagsak sa aking mga mata,
Sa bawat sabi kong 'okay pa, okay na' may lihim na ayoko na at hindi ko na kaya.

Mahal ko, minahal mo nga ba ako?
Naniwala sa mga pangako **** napako,
Oo nga pala no? Lumipas na ang isang taon,
Ngunit ang nararamdaman kong ito hindi parin nakabaon.

Pero ipinapangako ko sa aking sarili,
Hinding hindi na ako magpapatali,
Sa mga matatamis **** salita,
**Kahit kailan hindi na ako maniniwala.

Is it ever enough?
I don't want money.

Have you been there?
The place beyond
the trees.
Someone's whisper
reached into my thoughts
drew me in
like a fish oblivious
in death
reeled by the line.
Blind faith
the present moment
food for the fish
is food for the thought.

In truth
it's false
like a mirage
the horizon
the lull before a tsunami.

It's a trap
that bit on the line
the singular idea of it
yet I saw nothing
knew nothing
I was the family at the beach
swept suddenly away by the monstrous wave
Gone.
A lull
before the end.

But have you been there?
that place
Beyond.

Listen to the whisper
let it guide you
to the end
meet me there
in my thoughts
the place
beyond the trees.
It's not the horizon
Farther, farther
waver at the edge
Your mind
beckoning the beyond
like a mirage
a mystery
the place beyond the trees.

I'm waiting for it
The sweet release that is death
All I need is memes
