Proust's madeleine
Blueberry Ice Apr 2021
...

Olfactory is the strongest memory.
Take care of your nose
that you may never forget me.

Sige lang..
Blueberry Ice Apr 2021
sige lang

mag sulat ka lng
punuhin mo ng tinta,
        ng letra,
ng salita,
                ng talata,
   ng luha,
              ng saya,
  ng kabiguan ang bawat pahina..

mag sulat ka lang..

ano naman kung hindi nila magustohan ?

ano naman kung hindi matalinghaga ano naman?

ano naman kung ikaw mismo hindi mo na maintindihan?

kung hindi nila maintindihan?
magsulat ka lang.

hanggang sa maubos ang tinta,
              ang mga letra,
ang mga salita,
           ang mga talata,
   ang mga luha,
                       ang mga kabiguan..

sige lang.

Walking Iris
Blueberry Ice Apr 2021
She dressed herself in beguiling array,
never did she grumble nor ever she dared say..
that her life
is not worth living
even when she only lasts a day.

One day
Blueberry Ice Feb 2022
I cannot find my worth
Not in the letters on my name,
especially not in the look on your eyes, nor in the sound of your voice.

I cannot find my worth elesewhere,
nor the point of everything.
Only the point of the daggers of your command,
urging me to run, when my body was limp and couldn't move.

But move anyway.
One step at a time, away from that edge.
One day, all will make sense.

Sisyphus
Blueberry Ice Feb 2024
I’ve always wondered what pushes Sisyphus to keep pushing the rock,
The struggles it took to bring it on top.
Just to find it at the bottom, and again he pushes it up
I’d like to think he rides the rock
When it rolls down from the mountain top,
I hope he enjoys the gust of wind as he sled down, carefree
And that he was… genuinely content.
And it was actually worth it,
To spend his eternity striving to be happy.

Live
Blueberry Ice Sep 2024
Darling, put yourself on a higher pedestal.
You are greater than what you make yourself out to be.
You are smart,
you are beautiful.
You lived even before them,
why not live again ?
For yourself.
It’s okay to grieve the loss of people you once tried so hard to hold close.
Maybe they simply weren’t meant to stay.
Maybe they were chapters, not constants.
And deep down—you knew.
You felt it in the quiet moments,
that the bond was fragile,
threaded more by your effort than by mutual care.
You were the glue, the bridge, the fire—and yet,
no one else brought warmth to meet yours.

You told yourself it was real.
You wanted it to be.
Even when every part of you whispered otherwise.
You stayed, not for them, but because
you were afraid of what would be left without them.
You weren’t trapped by anyone but yourself—
confined in the comfort of familiarity,
even when it dulled your spirit.

And that’s okay.
It’s okay to be alone for a while.
Solitude isn’t silence—it’s self-discovery.
This is what you’ve always craved:
space to know yourself without noise,
freedom to walk your path unshadowed.

Maybe this is your grand reckoning.
Your karma.
The universe stepping in
to peel away what you no longer need.
To teach you how to stand on your own,
to walk into rooms alone and still feel whole,
to sit with discomfort and call it peace.

It’s asking you to trust again—
not blindly,
but patiently.
To learn that not everyone comes with hurt hidden in their hands.
That not all love is a lesson.
That you don’t need to carry what no longer fits.

No, those mistakes were not you.
They were growing pains.
And you are allowed to grow.
The universe is infinite for a reason—
there will always be space for your becoming.

And because you wouldn’t take the leap,
the universe gave you a push.
Ready or not.
Because truthfully, no one is ever truly ready.
You just go.
You just enter the unknown.
And there—
waiting all this time—
was you.

She’s been calling.
She’s been patient.
She’s been ready.

So don’t fight it anymore.
Take the step.
You’ll be amazed at what rises from the ruins.

Stay strong.
Let change reshape you.
Let it bloom.
Let it bless.

It’s okay to be afraid—
just do it afraid.
Have courage.
Because the version of you who has waited so long
is finally ready to meet you.
And the universe is saying: it’s time.

You will be fine, child. Trust.

— The End —
