irinia

sit down beside me for a while
even if it hurts
there are packs of stray dogs in my mother's smile
nothing's gonna hurt my father's fists
darkness comes with soft paws and no affection after ******
they refused their bodies such
that I had to not lose sight of the corpse of morning
I caught my eyes simply falling
waiting for the birds of prey
to tell their truth in our cage
what does it mean, you know, to have a soul

sit down beside me for a while
in this impossibly empty room
our flesh needs words

Indescribable

This feeling I can't describe...

It's jarring emptiness
though I'm bloated full.
It's like a puncture,
though there's no stake.
It's overwhelming heaviness,
though there's no load.
Like a scab that won't heal,
though there's no wound.
It's confusion...
though, my mind's a blank.
It's me reaching out,
though there's nothing to tell.

This feeling I can't describe...
A curse to which there are no words.
A burden that I foresee spilling
over several dawns.

Beats and Measures

Why do you do the things you do*

You ask.

But I'm stuck
on the beat of your words.
One syllable quips
following one another.
And I
STOP
Pushed aside, you tremble.
My smile doesn't help.
I was a fool to think it ever did,
in circumstances such as these.
But to be fair, I haven't done
anything wrong.
I was only asked why I am...
me.
And to that, I have no answer.
Better to speculate.
Because the heavy lifting
required would be better if
you backed out.
Lest you through your back out.

The Poetic Architect

Wag Ka Sanang Matuto

032017

Isa, Dalawa, tatlo, apat, lima, Anim, Pito? Tama ba?
Pasensya kana,
Hindi ko na kasi mabilang ang ating mga away at tampuhan.
Nahihiya na nga ako sayo eh, Kasi hindi dapat ito yung iyong nararanasan.

Alam ko sobra-sobra na yung mga sakit na naidulot ko sayo
Wala na yung mga pangako na sinabing tutuparin ko
Yung mga "***** tayo jan, ***** tayo dito"
Yung "Susulitin natin ang oras pag balik mo sa piling ko"
Dapat pala sinulit ko na ang oras habang nandito kapa sa piling ko.

Naalala ko pa yung araw na paalis kana
para tuparin yung pangarap mo
Kahit masakit sakin na lumisan ka
ikaw ay aking suportado
Kahit na alam kong matagal yun
pilit nating sinasabi na saglit ka lang, Na kayang kaya natin
Hanggang sa dumating na tayo sa hindi natin kaya.

Ang "sakit"
Salitang nanggaling na parehas sa ating dalawa
Yung tipong mahal na mahal pa natin yung isat isa
pero parang hindi na
Yung kahit hindi ikaw yung problema
sayo na napupunta
Hindi ko alam kung dapat bang wakasan na
Pero nagdesisyon tayo na kayanin pa.

Lumipas ang ilang araw
bumabalik na tayo sa dati
Nag-iintindihan na ulit
minsan pa nga nag bobolahan
Sabi ko pa sa sarili ko nun… YES!!! Wala na tong katapusan
Ngunit NAUDLOT ang ating walang katapusan.

Bumabalik na naman si justine sa kanyang dating ugali
Magdodota tapos hating gabi na naman uuwi
Tatawag ka sa aking telepono pero hindi ko nasasagot
Hanggang sa tumagal tagal na,
Hindi ko na sinasagot.

Ang hirap lang kasi maging masaya nang wala ka pisikal
Ang hirap magtiis na yung yakap
ay babasahin ko na lang at hindi na literal
Kaya nililibang ang sarili kahit na mali na ang paraan
Kahit na alam kong mali yun na dahilan
Hindi ko pa rin tinigilan.

Sabi ko sa sarili ko
maayos din lahat ng ito pag nakauwi kana
Nagkakaganito lang tayo dahil hindi tayo magkasama
Nag-aalala pagkat hindi sigurado sa ginagawa ng isa
Kahit iilang araw nalang
tiisin pa natin, pakiusap ko sayo
Maliliwanagan din naman
kapag nagtagpo na and dalawang puso.

May isa lang akong hiling na sana ay tuparin mo
Sa laban na ito,
Wag ka sanang matuto na sumuko.

(c) JS

This piece made me cry. Alam ko, di ka mahilig magsulat. Minsan, akala ko gusto mo na lang sumuko sa laban natin. Pero salamat, kasi nandyan ka pa rin. Salamat kasi mahal mo pa rin.

I glorify the Lord sa lahat ng mga nangyayari. Higit ang pagmamahal Niya for us. Yung pag-ibig na to, it's a shower of His grace. Thank You Jesus!

Only in Poetry

I can tell you all my secrets
I can love and make love to you
I can boldly call you mine
All this I can do, only in poetry

Reality in poetry. All the things I wanted to tell you, my outlet of emotions. What do I do without you..

Another Anonymous Mammal

If it makes you feel any better,
I'm not happy
My life is lonely
I can't help how I look

The number of friends I have
You can count on three fingers
One of which is my house keeper
Paid friend

I've loved, but never known the feeling of being loved
I can't grace the world with another child
My legs no longer permit me the beauty of dance
I'm a former coke addict, current drunk

I cry too much and whine the world full
I deny myself the joy of colour in my wears

I'm a *****
No, I've not had any "plastic surgery"
I am that I am
Another anonymous mammal

I intake too much caffeine
Lately too much nicotine
I cuss and have fits
Tantrums,
As I am right now

Yea,
Just another anonymous mammal

I've gotten messages as of late saying that the only reason anyone reads my junk or bothers to "like" my words is because of my picture. This pained me for a bit. But I'm not taking my picture down. I'm no "**" and all I want to do is read and write poetry. In peace. I won't hide like a little girl behind a block button. So keep em coming, all the hateful messages and words. I give my real name and face here. That's the way it stays.

Broken Whispers

Find peace with your baffled mind
Induce equanimity in between your struggling breaths
Remedy the desolation with your flowing tears
Resign to the solitude with your dispirited shadow

Catch the glimpses with your swollen eyes
Wear a smile with your shivering lips
Seek solace in between your trembling fingers
Walk the steps with your hesitant feet

Gather strength from your shattered pieces
Feel your existence amidst your aching soul
Endure the sorrow with your feeble self
Preserve the love in your failing heart
