When was the last time you felt loved?
When was the last time you let down of your walls and be vulnerable?
When was the last time you said "I love you" sincerely?
Dates? Months? Years?

Nah! it was all because of that stupid person whom you gave your all and received none in return that made you skeptical after all.
The butterflies that used to be in your stomach already left,
gone with the person you thought were your meant.

But hey, lovelies!
Blame not the love but the lover.
It's time to give yourself some love.
A love coming from you,
not from others.

Self-love!
By the time you are ready to love again,
By the time you find the person to be vulnerable with again,
By the time you speak love sincerely again,
It's no longer for someone else's sake
Because you know you are worthy of the love you deserve.

Do you believe in reincarnation?

You made mistake with your previous relationship.
Determined and promised to yourself that it would be a lesson learned
New relationship came
This time, you'll gonna do it right.
You'll go an extra mile to make up with your past lapses.

You succeeded!
You made the present one happy.
You pampered with everything you can do.
That was the best moment in your life
And so does to your precious one.

But fate did not go easy on you.
A small conflict turned into a major one.
One is holding on
but the other one is letting go.
Different decision but same emotion - pain.

Perhaps, each choice has its own selfish reason.
A resolution considered as subjective satisfaction,
you both knew it would be the best conclusion
to an almost perfect love story you worked hard.

Still, you ended up hurting that person.
Just like you did with the previous one.
Does history repeat itself?
Or you are bound to relive your past life's faux pas...

...unless you find the answer to your unending woe.

How much pain do I have to endure so I could meet The One?

How long do I have to extend my patience from a Lover that will soon turn into an Almost?

How much does it cost to meet you in this lonely world of mine?

Oh dear, when will I see you?
In this world full of pretensions,
I ask a favor from above
That I hope you will find me.

“Pag tama na ang mali
           at pwede na ang hindi.”
I’ll be waiting
I know it’s gonna be a happy ending.

I thought you were the one.
Only to find out that you will be the one...

The one who will prepare me in meeting My Only One.

The Dedpoet
Where are you poet?
You poetess?
I search and become everything:

A pen of the sun's fire
Writing on a slab of jade,
I come face to face with all poets,
The roots of their soul dividing
Themselves dissolving into words
Writing the passionate fire sitting
On pillars of clouds,
A thousand moons surrounding them
Each like some serpent god,
They write the darkness like
Guardians of the night,
A stallar vertigo into the words,
They become like flowers
Of the Resurrection and in a lightning
Flash I am on a terrace of gold
Watching over a field of flora
And the storm's of April's pains
Comes to them each as a moon
In the sorrowing takes each word
And swallows them into verses,
They are the testament of wounds.

And still even more,
All are alone in the abyss they all share,
One man stands tall and says,
"Alone with everybody!"
He smiles as each poet places themselves
In a whirlpool of time,
They find a moment invisible
And make it a mirror,
It reflects forevermore the broken
Images of their past, they piece
Themselves upon a verse of shadows,
A verse is born and a piece of them
Stays in the past.

Suddenly there are those who live,
They are reborn from the womb!
They see daylight in the sorrows
And find happiness in clusters,
A perfect memory where the man
Loved the woman, her touch is like
An immortal fire burning into the focus,
His touch is a cascade of rose petals
On her naked body......

The young poets gather,
The defeat the circular days,
Fantastically naive and flamboyant,
Their moments flare like a sun's
Lost kisses on  magnetosphere's outer
Skin,
The procession of new pain
Fills the paper as they write an ancient
Language unbeknownst to them,
Their blood to papyrus, Sanskrit's
Unified language.

I see the poet's in their middle years,
Strong flavors mixed with heavy grief,
The clandar Is splattered in blood
While their dream sails away in paper boats
Sinking in the sea of forgotten hope,
They sculpt words of deep guts
That penetrate my spirit,
Time becomes a race against their pens,
Their fire blue into the jade
And life is lived on a string of theorise,
They become enlivened in the children,
Enormous mouthfuls of hope
Arisen from soils of regret,
And the perfect words ripen
Like a midsummer's harvest,
They spontaneously eat the fruit
Of life's labors and digest words
With seeds for the planting of more.

I turn my face in my search and see
The years turn golden,
These are the poets with life full
In experience and they write like
Youth writes, but written already
With eyes of indecipherable experience,
Their wounds are closed but written
In fresh blood, I could not understand!
They burn and are not consumed,
Their words are eternal in
Endless galleries of Picasso like
Verses, the words penetrate
Leaving me hopeful and confused.
I wonder if I would ever write
The light and the darkened like
They that balance both....

I find all poets in the middle of forever,
I see their walls of frightful memory,
Their home for tomorrow's bloom,
The self knowledge turning in
On itself and becoming wisdom,
They drown themselves in clarity,
Cling to audacious hope,
Remembering the nocturnal nightmare
Of the past, they are endlessly broken,
Always fixing themselves in words.
And I wrote a poem for them in
My mind:
    
        Poets, you little gods,
        The fire of life in your pen,
        You write the existence
        Forevermore on a slab of jade;
        
       I see the souls and angels
       Reading a book of every poem,
       I see God reading to understand
       His strange and wondrous creation
       Called the poet.
For all of you poets.

I never knew I would meet someone of my type.
The way you think,
The way you speak,
The way you plan,
All just like mine.

It mesmerizes me.
It's as if I am looking at my reflection.
Oh~ so lovely!

A shock to the crowd
for Narcissus has been tamed,
by someone none among the commoners can take.
He, indeed, is one of a kind.

Will Narcissus take the leap of faith?
For this man trained to tame her kind.
I don't think so.
Unless this man is true to his pledge.

Finally, they were both in love with each other.
Unfortunately, the other one is taken.
They met in the most unexpected way. Their worlds were like South Pole and North Pole. They may have different worlds but they have the same feeling, just not the right timing.
