My eyes,
Like any other eyes
Staring at the window
In the loneliest of bus rides-
The long way home.

I travel
Like paired green wings
Of a quetzal,
Like vagrant leaves
Led to be nostalgic
To a neighbouring dead tree:
I am the memory
Of my shattered heart.

Through idle times like this one,
I recall myself staring at you-
Un-captured by your smile, your lips,
Your scent,
But instead
Your eyes open for me,
Making me feel the movement of the Earth,
The breath of God.
But I only look at them
Because
That's just what is life for me,
Only because--

One is reminded of hoping
When you are lifting your eyelids.
One is reminded of dreams
By the closure of your eyes.
But when my eyes close
And suddenly reopen,
I tell you:
One is reminded...
...of missing you.

Words are lovely
but can sometimes be dull
depending on your mood.
You can make someone fall in love,
or break an innocent heart,
or have someone jump with glee,
or maybe have a poor soul wallow in despair.
Words can sometimes sting
just as much as it can comfort.
So next time you write something down,
think twice.
You may not be saying something nice.

Found this as I was rummaging through old tattered notebooks. Enjoy.

Cocked my shotgun today
Barrel in tow
A slight click
A slight ****
Fired my first shot

Cocked my shotgun again
Barrel still in tow
A violent click
A violent ****
Fired an angry shot

Cocked my shotgun one last time
Barrel confidently in tow
A trembling click
A trembling ****
Fired a self shot

Found this piece of write on one of my old notebooks. Thought I'd share it.

Come hither and feel my touch
My fingertips fueled by desire
Exploring every inch of you
Under this burning blue star

Dim the lights, My Love
Keep your eyes shut
And let your body move as it will
To the rhythm of my beating heart

Your voice sounds so tender
Flesh warm to the touch
As I ****** you deep, your dampness so sweet
Come hither and make my yearning complete

and every morning when I wake
I see your shadow there
beside me in the bed in which I lay
your scent fills the empty air
I reach out my hand desperately
trying to feel what remains
but there was only coldness
and fear, heartache & pain
every bit of memory consumed
and devoured by time
I could never have lost you
for you were never mine

hiniling ng diwang bumalik sa sinapupunan
sa panahong ika'y hinahainan ng hapunan
lahat ng bagay ay pwedeng iisang tabi
tulog sa paghalik ng umaga sa gabi

di akalaing maipaghahalo ang saya at sakit
kailangan **** mamatay para mabuhay
higop sa kamalayan o kapeng mapait
hibang ang sarili, kaisipang mahalay

babarin ang isip sa likidong tutunaw sa lahat
tikman mo ang iyong dagat na walang kasing alat
manlagkit sa salamin, tapos na ang bukas
hahalik ang umaga sa gabi at wala kang takas

ang katamaran ay humahalili sa kapalpakan
hinayaan **** humalik ang umaga sa gabi
wag kang magdahilan, hindi mo sinubukan
pigilan ang paghalik ng umaga sa gabi

Feelings have grown,
exquisite as it can be.
brushes the immaturity,
running youth spirit  as they see.
unhappy moments
are faded and lost,
replaced by memories,
you and I hath toast!
never an ugly day,
in every hour we spent.
nice to hear your voice,
even music you have sent.
to every souls that listens,
enchanted by your melody,
enlightened by your Love
next to eternity!
true feelings,  have set us free.
have made a mark,  in 19th of February

Sing for me with your sweet voice
Play your music for it is sweeter still
My ears can only hear the sound you make
And quietly listen to your enchanting song

And in your eyes the brightest star I see
In its magnificence, in comparison
The universe shall pale
O what divine beauty commands such presence?
That even the sun and moon cower in humility

Your lips were born out of pure delight
A fatal kiss would not leave me unscathed
And with your every move the deeper I am possessed
Lost in languor in the gentleness of your touch

All that troubles me has been left in complete abandon
As I held your hand and felt its eternal warmth
And as you whisper sweet nothings to my ear's delight
My beating heart felt as if it came to a halt

O sing for me again these tunes so enthralling
That I may forever declare my devotion in its entirety
For no other creature on this earth shall dare question
This language of love with which I speak.

Ako’y isa lamang pinuno,
Gumabay sa isang hukbo.
Oras ay itinataya upang magturo,
Upang bigyan ng kaalaman ang mga pribado.


May mga taong gusto akong tularan,
Mga nasa ikatlong taon ng paaralan.
Tungkulin ko sila’y turuan,
Upang sila’y magkaroon ng kaalaman.


Mga COCC kung sila’y tawagin,
Lahat sila’y may sinusunod na tungkulin.
Mga katulad ko’y dapat sundin,
Upang makamit nila ang kanilang hangarin.


Meron akong isang CO na nakilala,
Pansin ko’y kanyang nakuha.
Hindi ko maipaliwanag ang kanyang ganda,
Lagi nalang sa kanya ang aking mga mata.

Ang ibigin siya’y isang bagay na bawal,
pagkat posisyon ko’y pwedeng matangal.
Ito’y aking gagawan ng paraan.
Kahit ito pa ang batas ng paaralan.




Tinataguan ko ang aking Commando,
Upang makipagkita sa giliw kong CO,
Tinutulungan din ako ng kaibigan kong pribado,
Na umiibig naman sa isang pinuno.
                                          

Bakit ganito nalang ang pag-ibig,
Palagi nalang may humahadlang sa paligid.
Hindi ba nila alam kung gaano kasakit,
Ano ba ang kanilang naiisip.


Ang pamumuno ko ay pansamantala lamang,
Ngunit pag-ibig ko sana’y walang hanggan.
Huwag sanang masira ang ating samahan,
O Aking Joana, hindi kita titigilan.
