The thing we once were
A romantic tapestry
Is now in pieces
Scattered upon the floor

I've gathered myself
Leaving you behind
We will always be separate
Though we fit together at one time
 Sep 2017 Intrépide
Phantom Poet
Always there when you needed,
But when I had feelings..you Faded,
Last time my heart shredded
If I'm not wrong a haiku consists of 3 lines ,with 5 words 7 and 5
For if I told you that I love you
Anywhere but my poetry
It would give you the power
To walk away.
So for now I will write
'Til the pen falls from my hand.
Never not loving you
And never not denying it.

Napansin ko lang, parang ilang gabi nang nahihirapan matulog.
Malambot naman ang unan ko
Maluwag naman sa kamang hinihigaan
Makapal at mabango naman ang kumot
Malamig at tahimik din ang kwarto
Nasobrahan nanaman ba ko sa kape?
Hindi naman siguro pero bakit?


Antukin akong tao pero bakit ganito
Pero sa kalagitnaan ng kalituhan,
Sa ilalim ng mga bituin sa kalangitan
Biglang sumagi sa isip ko, "Oo nga pala, wala naman ng ibang dahilan.."
Kundi Ikaw. Ang bida ng walang katapusang kwento.
Sa tuwing hihiga ako pagkatapos ng isang mahabang araw
Na nakakapagod kahit wala naman masyadong nangyari at nagawa


Muntik pang mapagalitan dahil gabi nanaman nakauwi
Nagbihis at dali-daling inayos ang higaan
Ayan na, sa wakas at dinadalaw na rin ako ng antok
Ngunit ayan ka na din bigla nalang eeksena parang sa pelikula
Bitbit ang mga pabaon **** ala-ala na nasa isang garapon
At magsisimula kang kumatok ng kumatok sa puso kong marupok
Sige na, papapasukin kita pero parang awa mo na


Bigyan mo naman ako ng isang mahimbing at mahabang tulog
Hayaan mo akong humiga, magpahinga at huminga
Ipagpatuloy ang pananaginip habang naka-nganga
Na kahit dito man lang, sa nilikhang mundo ay hindi tokis ang pag-ibig
Hihintayin kang mapagod maglakbay at magpasikot-sikot sa isipan ko.
Kahit na nakakainip. Pero wala, sanayan lang naman 'to.
Sanay ng pangarapin at mapaginipan ka,
Na hanggang pangarap lamang kita.

You are my ghost, you've been with me as long as I can remember. But unlike any other monsters, I'm afraid that one day I'd no longer see you.

I keep my words to myself.
Hidden, locked,
Buried under the earth.
Quiet, they say.
Don't you ever want to talk to us?
Open your soul to us?

I do.
All
The
Time.

And in moments like these,
A few may escape.
As poetry,
That barely tells the story.
As poetry,
That rarely makes sense.
Dented,
Tainted,
Stuttering,
Like a broken record.

But are you listening?
