Just a reminder

At times, I wonder
If you still think about me
Since that night when
I told you everything..
everything that you
needed to know
and you told me that
It was once mutual
Do you remember?
Maybe, it didn't mean
anything or something
maybe, you didn't believe
me when I said what I said
Believe me when I say that
those words were
meant for you
words only for you
stories that only you know
believe me when I say that
I did not say a single lie
believe in what I said
And I hope you'd
remember it in time
but in case if you've forgotten
Or maybe it wasn't made clear
So here, I'll say it once again...
*I'm in love with you, dear.
I'll repeat it, again and again until I break your lovely skull to understand it.

If you think about it,
Everyone you love
Is just a person brought
To you by the wind
A certain person brought
To you by circumstance
a single "random" happenstance
The world has so much to offer
That every person around
the earth could be greater
Than the one you love today
You love the person just because
he or she was just there
at that moment
at that happenstance
but wouldn't that mean that
By some strange occurrence,
By some strange force,
We were brought together
Like out of all the stars in the universe
It was the sun that gave life to earth
It might be random
Or maybe it's not
Sometimes, it's serendipity
sometimes, it's propinquity
it's be a nice thought to think that we were brought by serendipity.

I've roamed to the corners of the world.
And never have I seen a sunset more
compelling than the sunset back home.
Maybe, from where I'm standing now
None compares to the sunsets at Manila
Maybe, you'd know what I'm talking about
When I would someday show you why

Instead of where I stand, I wish I was there
With you by my side, watching our special
sunsets. Like the world was meant just for the two of us. As much as each sunset gleams, it shines with much fervor every moment we see it. Maybe, it's just an illusion, or maybe it's real. But the most wonderful sunsets are at home with you.
I could only wish I've traveled with you.

Everything was going according to plan
Highschool. Pre-Med. Med. Specialization.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think
That you would add up to this equation
Never did I think that things would end up
Like how it is at this moment.
You never were meant for this equation
And yet, you fit in so perfectly

I was expecting nothing, and yet.. You
Never did I think that you, once a variable, would become a constant. That you would succeed euler's number or the symbol for radians, pi, as important constants in my life, you're as important but as confusing as i.

I mean, at times you're really confusing me
like rationalizing the negative square root of 3, but it's simply, really how I thought it would be to make sense of irrationality. Things like this would make sense mathematically, but not in reality. In reality, you're more simple, yet oh-so filled with insanity. But it still boggles my mind, on how a lovely variable like you becomes a constant in my life.

Poets don't shed tears, they just spill ink.
-(j.s)
Turn up the silence and block out the sun,
Alone in my room, a bottle and a gun.
It goes click twice, I'll see another day,
Tears start to fall, can't carry on this way.

Since I was young,
I was taught to stay,
hug, and kiss good bye.
But right now,
I'd never thought
that you wouldn't
hear our last good bye.

Every time I would see you,
I would be prim and proper.
And each time I see you,
You're surprised I've grown taller.

Each  day you'd go
and come back home,
you never forgot the people
who's welcome you home.

Though we never talked,
nor had real conversations,
you still thought of us
at least in some occasions.

You wouldn't know,
and probably never would,
but I dream for you to be proud,
like a little girl should.

I dreamed of talking about,
what I can and could do.
To make you laugh
with the jokes I learned at school.

I'm not even eighteen,
but I see you here,
and I wish to see you living
and welcoming us somewhere.

We rarely see each other,
but it is always a fun time.
And we'd wait again,
to hear a call from you chime.

To you, my dear Ninong,
I never asked much.
But I  wish one more day,
to be with you and have lunch.

But your eyes rest,
all we hear is silence.
And we wish to see you again
even with patience.

With our hearts mourning,
We ask God that you're in heaven.
I give you my last farewell,
hoping you're enlightened.
In memory of my Ninong (godfather), Dr. Benji Benitez.

Requiescence?

The moon lays down,
On the field with leaves full of grace.
Tis where the memories I've had earned,
Now, beyond my embrace.

In the loom, unseen,
the weaver rests their head,
for even in the makings of fate,
one tires, one always gets tired.

But one breathes deep,
With a worn out stare,
To marvel, not at the piece nor wool,
But at the threads they'll never wear.

And one sighs heavy
with a weary gaze;
to lament, not at their own misery,
but at the passing of insipid days.

But these does not tremble,
The little faith of their young.
They still dream of heroes and gold,
Not one inch of  forlorn love.

With light,
glowing gently
gilded in gold
giving gravity
grievance for
keeping them
grounded.

After breathing, one brings a smile.
Not from joke
but joy
Of the young laughing for miles.

And the hope in their eyes,
like a love that never dies,
is the reason for my solace.

For the peace of my mind,
And the insipid days that pass through,
I now marvel at the threads,
Now a piece that stays true.

Like the red thread of Fate,
of Kismet, of Destiny,
I am happy in your embrace.
I am happy here with you.


Now one rolls his sleeves,
Doing the work again,
Remembering the love of his fate,
Made him sew *again.
A collab poetry with a dear friend of mine. :)
