Idiosyncrasy Aug 2015
We started with tears
And found each others arms,
Together we wiped the tears away
And learned to smile,
We learned to love again,
We started with tears
And unfortunately,
We ended with tears too.
Idiosyncrasy Jul 2015
I look for you in wishing stars,
Believing they'll bring you to me.

I look for you in satellites,
Believing you are just around.

I look for you in black holes,
Believing there's no escape from you.

I look for you in nebula,
Believing you'll bring me to life.

I look for you in deeper space,
Where the darkness seems infinite
Believing you're the light that could save me.

We  were happy together
And everything to each other.

You  start to run
And *I
  start* to stumble.

You  will forever be my one that got away
And I  will always be the girl who loved you.
Idiosyncrasy Sep 2016
Thanks for bringing back
the smile on my face
the music in my laughter
the sun in my world
the stars in my sky
the love in my heart
Thanks for bringing me back to life.
For yesterday and today M.
Nagmahal. Nasaktan. Nagdebate.

With you
Things are at best.
Idiosyncrasy Apr 2017
We walk along each other's beat
As dust crumbles beneath our feet
We share stories infinitely
And I always love to listen eagerly
We sing to random songs
To laugh when the lyrics go wrong
You hold my hand and do not let go
You kissed me and yes I know
**To keep these,
I'll always choose the long way home.
Reached the door. Interactive.

I will fall in love
With the man
Who took

*The stars
For his eyes

The sweetest fruit
For his smile

The reddest plum
For his lips

The nightingale's song
For his voice

The caress of a mother
For his touch

Samson's strength
For his will

And the purest love
For his heart.
Will I find him?

There is something beautiful in black and white,
For sometimes we need a break in this world full of light and shades,
We need something peaceful to feel we're at home,
We just need to hold on to a few things, greater things.

There is something beautiful in black and white,
It's like you and I, like us.

The minute she climbed in the bus,
I knew she's the one
Who'll join me
In every ride I'll ever take,
She's the one
Who'll stay with me
In the ride of my life.
There's someone who'll join you in the bumpy ride called life. Imagined.

When you put on your makeup
     to turn gray into vibrance
Or when the costumes you wear
     are no longer pretend
I'll be with you till the very end.
There are things to tell you but the show needed rain.
Idiosyncrasy Jul 2015
You are the moon
And I am the wolf that cries
For the love it cannot reach.
Idiosyncrasy Jul 2015
I gave you my heart
You gave me nothing in return,
But let me tell you what I've lost,
I've lost egoism, hatred and coldness,
Let me tell you what I've learned,
I've learned to love, forgive, trust and dream,
Maybe those are all I have to gain
But thank you
With all my heart again.
This is for Ms. ER. Thanks for the inspiration and thanks for introducing Hello Poetry to me! I love you forever sis!

When I met you, you became my universe faster than the cosmos expanded.But then, you were the universe and I'm just one of the seemingly dots you have. I might just be a planet with no life, questioning why I became a part of you but exist this way...asking, hoping that I may be even just the world to you.

"The whole world was: too cold, too big, and too cruel."*

If you fear the world is too cold,
I promise I'll be here to keep you warm.

If it's too big for you,
I assure you, you're the only world I need.

If the world is too cruel,
I'll take the oath and make it safer.

Because there is no greater tribulation than a heart left to die cold.
"Ellen had said that her mother was afraid of the ocean, that it was too cold and too big. The sky was, too, thought Annemarie. The whole world was: too cold, too big and to cruel."- Number the Stars, Lois Lowry

From m I think.
Idiosyncrasy Jan 2018
Listen when I tell you
Because it isn't at all easy for me to say
That I still love you
When you no longer feel the same.
Not another time.
Not once more.
Idiosyncrasy Apr 2018
I thought I was building walls
But I merely left the gates on rusty hinges
When I was laying traps
The floors became squeaky
I wanted to close the curtains
But I think I pulled them down too hard
So I saw you driving back here
I heard the sound of metals screeching
And your first step behind the door
The paint is still fading
The kitchen faucet still leaking
Cobwebs cover the ceiling
But I don't mind
You are the only one that make this place home.
April 13. First week.
Idiosyncrasy Nov 2015
This season
I cannot give
Fancy gifts
And shiny things.

This season
I know
I cannot love you
Like you love me.

But it doesn't mean
I don't love you
With all I have
For this season
I give you my heart.

Idiosyncrasy Jul 2015
We first met,
Rocket taking off to space.

More time spent with you,
The beautiful view of the earth, the moon and the stars.

An unstable moment,
Left the extra load and moved on.

Our second chance,
The view gets more magical and enchanting.

And now,
*We are to infinity and beyond.
Idiosyncrasy Oct 2016
Green light,
I go as fast as I can
As fast as the limits allow
I was trying to reach you
And I like the way the wind enters
Through the open window
I like the rush of emotions
As I take control and lose control,
Loving you feels that way.

And then I watch you
Stop to take someone in
You break rules for that one
I watch as you drive together
I drive alone following you
And then there were lots
Of U turns and bus stops
It became tiring, painful
Yellow light* flashed.

I guess this is where
I should stop before it gets worse
This is where it ends
3...2...1...
*Red light.
I want to stop but I can't. You keep pulling me back.
Idiosyncrasy Jan 2016
I have traveled far and
I have traveled with you
But I never knew
We are each other's home
Where I'll make it
Where I'm going is you.

Ikaw yung unang ulang bumuhos**

Rain

You were the first rain that came
After the long drought.

One day
I will stumble upon a box
Full of the things
I've given
I've lost
Covered in bubble wrap
Like they have never been through so much struggle
To get back to me
The box wasn't wrapped with red ribbon
But with tight tape
As if saying
It was to be opened by people
With strong hands like mine
Which have gone through the sharpest blades and knives
But I tell you
I still offer delicate fingers
Rough draft.
Idiosyncrasy Jul 2015
We were matter and energy
That came together.

You were the planet
Which I orbit.

We were the stars
In binary system.

You were the Galaxy
Nearest to me.

We were like sun and comet
Coming back to each other.

You were the life
In my far away world.

I tell you this
And this alone.

*The universe came to be
When you and I happened.

"You are the best thing that ever happened to me,"
He whispered
One time
As I was drifting
Between consciousness
And sleep
By the soft touch of his fingers
Combing through my hair
He wasn't sure if I could hear him
He said so
In between lyrics of
When the Day Met the Night
Laughing and saying sorry
For forgetting some lines
How do I tell him I've longed
For him to sing to me again
And hold me
When the rest of the world is shaking
I guess this is how.

Loving again feels like revising a piece. There's always that inkling feeling that maybe the first one was the right one.

we don't have

Us
We fell into the right places,
Right by each other's side,
But now we've realized
There was never us,
It has always been
Just you and just me.

I guess you have a new companion
And I guess I'm no longer the one who fuels you.

I guess you've changed roads
But I guess I'm still searching for your tracks.

I guess you turned off the front lights
But I guess I'd still be expecting it in the dark.

I guess you're moving on
But I guess I'll always be waiting for you at the stop.
Idiosyncrasy May 2018
There are moments I wish to forget
There seem to be vestiges of you everywhere
That I see things not as they are
But a shadow, a spark, a thread of you

It's been some time
Enough to think I was okay
Then one day I smell your scent and your vague image slowly turned into my sharpest memory

Or maybe you were always the clearest memory
Which I chose to hide in the closet
Because I know I couldn't forget

But this is how I want to forget
I wish I could open the door and not think of the last time you closed it
I wish I could say goodbye without hearing you say it back

And these aren't all
I find myself hoping I could put all the happy moments behind
Because they were hard to beat and I never felt the same

Sometimes I wish
I could listen to a song and not hear your voice singing it to me
And read a book without seeing your delicate fingers hold the pages' ends

I wish I could wake up and not see your smile shining brighter than the sun
Or tuck the blankets in without feeling your arms wrapping around me

But I know
I know I can brave this world with just the precious memories of you.
I never thought I'd say these again.

When you left you said
We would still wish on the same star
We would still hear each other's heart beats,
We would see each other when we see the moon,
*You said we would find each other again
And we would dance underneath the starry starry sky,
We would be forever
But we never did.
Idiosyncrasy Apr 2017
I never get what I want
so I guess I'll just want
for you to not feel the same
for you to go away
hoping*
just hoping
you'll stay.
Preparing myself when you leave.

I didn't have to be with you,
It was enough for me to love you.

It was enough to hear you laugh
Whenever someone cracks a joke
It was enough to hear you talk
Even if it's not solely to me
It was enough to see you smile
Whenever we meet at the hallway
It was enough to see your eyes shine again
Filled with love and passion for new dreams and adventures
Just like then.

*It was enough for me to love you,
But sometimes,
Sometimes I wish you'd love me too.
Friends are all we'd ever be.
Idiosyncrasy May 2017
You are afraid to lose me
But you did not make the choice to have me
You don't want me to go but you don't want me to stay either.(11)

The sun
was always there
The rain
was never meant to stay
But people
will always-
*always choose the rain.

I have seen lonely places
But where do broken hearts go?
Do they look for home?
But where do broken hearts go
If home is where they just came from?

So where do broken hearts go?
Do they find somewhere new out there?
Or are they too broke to even care?

Where do broken hearts go?
Do they wait to meet another broken heart
So together they could make a start?

Oh where do broken hearts go?
I wish I do know
Where I'm going.
New tasks. New heart.
Idiosyncrasy Oct 2015
I stayed out late tonight
The stars are out
And the moon is bright.

A shooting star came by
I closed my eyes
And let out a sigh.

There's  a chance to see you
Tomorrow, give me tomorrow
Do you want to see me too?

I wish this wish tonight
My days would again be bright
If tomorrow you'll be in my sight.
Idiosyncrasy Aug 2016
I think I've wished for you long ago,
When I was very eager to sow
But I didn't know where I'm supposed to go.

I think I've wished for you once more,
When I walked out the door
And I hoped for wind to make me soar.

I think I've wished for you again,
When I cannot find the next bend,
I could use rest and a helping hand.

I think I've wished for you on a day,
When I didn't want to hear what people say,
All I want is someone who'll stay.

I think I've wished for you on a jinny joe and a shooting star,
When my dreams seem so far
And so big to fit in my jar.

I think I've wished for you tonight,
When I'm giving up and can no longer fight,
When darkness came and I needed light...

*I think I've wished for you all my life.
There are wishes we make unconsciously. I unconsciously wished to go home.
You
Idiosyncrasy Aug 2015
You
Maybe it was you after all
I had had my breaks and falls
I thought you'd just pass
But you stayed til last
Now I'll be true
Now, it is you.
Idiosyncrasy Apr 2017
I'm not the best you'll never have,*
But I'm trying to be the best
for you,
And most of all,
You have me.
Miss missing you.

All else had failed,
All else had brought me
To tears,
Then you came
And every direction
Every decision
Has pointed me to you
Every person
Has brought me here
Every second
Every minute
Every hour
Has come to this,
Forever.

— The End —
