disrobed

in naked abstinence

we vowed    all sound away

in inert abeyance
~

extinguished nil

all frequencies hushed still

in quietude's sea

we lay

~


in ****** of silence    immersed

skin    listening    exquisitely

to what every touch

has to say

I’ve never received a flower
Or even a rose
But I’m a guy
So it’s acceptable I suppose
No kisses
Or sweets
No treats
That signifies ones feelings for me
No token of ones love
But I have gotten
Disappointment
Watered with hate
Planted in betrayal
Fertilized with lies
And maintained by fakes
Roses are Red
But my roses are dead
And crumble beneath my feet

And after the sun had set and the kitten was sleeping, I’d lie awake dreaming of a me I could never be. I’d lie awake promising a change I would fail to make as the days went by - As I marked my calendar June 29. I lied awake hoping for a chance I would fail to take because somewhere along the way I lost sight of my strengths, I switched paths on who I really wanted to be. But one day I hope I lie awake at night only dreaming of beautiful sunflowers of yellow and sluggish greens. I hope one day I wake up in the morning greeted with warm tea and an overcasting shadow of soft pinks and purples in the sky. I hope one day it’s you and me instead of just me. Just me
Sunflowers of sluggish yellow and green.

If I lay in the grass
And try to push myself into the ground
Make friends with the leaves and the roots of the trees
Let the earthworms make a home out of me
Reduce my skeleton to nothing but fossils
Have I

Hi tita,
Kamusta?
Alam niyo naman po na matalik na magkaibigan kami ng anak nyo.
Matalik na kaibigan mo rin ang nanay ko.
Pitong taon na nung nakilala ko anak niyo,
Gwapo at matalino siya,
Kaya hindi na ako nagtataka kung bakit maraming naghahabol sakanya.

Malapit pamilya niyo sa amin.
Tita, Thankful ako na inaalagaan mo ako.
Binibigyan mo ako ng regalo tuwing birthday ko.
Minsan inaayusan mo pa ako,
Iniintindi ko kasi wala kang anak na babae.
Kulang na nga lang pati *****'t bra ibigay mo saakin.

Ikaw pa ang bumigay saakin ng napkin nung first time ko magkaregla.
Ilang beses na rin ako nakasakay sa kotse niyo.
Sabi mo pa ako ang mata mo na nagbabantay sa anak mo pag may pasok.
Lagi ko pong tinutulungan anak niyo.

Pero tita alam niyo po ba ano ang masaklap?
7 billion ang tao dito sa mundo pero anak mo pa rin ang gusto ko.
Pero alam niyo po ba ano ang mas masaklap?
Anak mo ang gusto ko pero kahit kailan saakin ay hindi siya nagkagusto.
Another poem that I used my language. It's too long because I don't know how to make it short. It's like I'm shouting out to someone. Hope you like it :)
