No matter how hard I try
My heart remains
the unsolvable
rubiks cube

solitude in constant bloom
flowers dripping from boughs
-fruit succulent swelled sweetness
the oasis within Winters chill.

Rushing steps halt cold,
Crimson glare demands patience—
Time drips through still air.

nivek
shortened breath iced with cold space
spun away from the Sun
darkness spangled deathly beauty.

Nemusa
Bouquet of regret,
Petals wilt with each footstep,
Vows fade in the breeze.

Kurt Philip Behm
Like squeezing and gripping
a handful of sand
Your love dropped through
the crevices unrhymed

Defining our feelings
with each orphaned word
Lost in the random
—abandon of time

Not entirely sure
What's more toxic
You, me or cyanide
I guess I'll have a shot of cyanide, please...

Life in plastic folds,
Dreams wrapped tight in fleeting hope,
Trash cradles the soul.
Living out of garbage bags episode in life.

Gusto ko nang magwala,
Gusto ko nang kumawala —
Hahanap ng pluma
At kakatha ng isang tula.

Isa na namang piyesa
Susulpot na parang bula,
Mawawala nang kusa
Lilisanin ang mga tugma.

Alay ko ang aking awit
Minsang mga bala’y mapanakit.
Isisigaw na may dawit
Ang sukli’y kaakit-akit.

Ilang libong mga salita,
Papalibutan ng mga katha.
Isang araw ng pagkukusa —
Isang obra ang maipipinta.

Per pause, You speak purpose…
Per cause, so much it’ll cost.

I love him
I tell myself
I know that
We will be together forever
I don’t believe that
We could be separated
My thoughts tell me that
He’s the love of my life
Sometimes my heart lies and says
I could live an eternity
Without him
Like my friends say
“We’re perfect for each other”
And you can’t tell me
He’s not the one.
