your finely drawn diamond-like brown eyes.

I want you to be around with me,
near me,
heal me,
this year, next year, and every year
and letting me assert every possible word for you to hear
because you deserve everything, for real
you’ve been here for every tear
embraced me for every fear
so stay even for a while
and let’s share the fruit of our love to bear
be here with me,
it’s an unconditional deal
even though it sounds surreal
we both know it was real.

he have been sleeping on his dreams lately
while taking a trip down the memory lane
he saw her and asked, "do i mean to you?"

—then he wakes up uneasy and will never know the truth for the rest of his life.

i look at the clock and it’s already midnight
and the only thing that shines
are your eyes
brighter than the moonlight
they're focused on mine
talking with no more lies
a bottle of a bittersweet wine
we shared and every taste was beyond divine
decided to lie down on the middle of a park
stars twinkled
our bodies intertwined
souls are barely naked
entangled and stranded
they're like scrabbling vines
tonight, you are solely mine
there’s no reason to hide
we will live for the truth
we will love for the truth
holding hands
coping hearts
let’s have veracious conversations
and discern different salvations
until the sun return to its self-vacation
my only destination
—my last station, you.

gusto ko ng halik,
‘yung totoong halik,
halik na pag dumampi ay naghahasik,
halik na itutuloy kahit hanggang sahig,
halik na dumidilig sa aking pagka-uhaw,
halik na sa bawat sandali’y pumupukaw,
ang halik na nagbibigay ng payapa at tanging bubungad tuwing gigising ako sa umaga

we’re living in a distracted world, 
with fantasies that bubbles our mind,
full of barely controlled chaos,
but then i remembered the feeling,
when your eyes locked onto mine,
focusing, listening, hearing, caring,
the comfort and pleasure you once made
is cannot be measured,
not by words, some stranger or even an event.

i am grateful for all you do;
because i can state the fact that,
when my life overwhelms and does me in,
consumes me and destroys me,
you make everything all right,
and on that moment,
you became my everything,
you are everything that i believed was right.

some people think “i just write”,
trust me,
i do,
but they don’t know that there’s so much story
veracity,
sincerity,
heartbreaks,
landslides,
sacrifices,
c­ourage,
in between words,
in this world,
it takes me to pour everything,
in what “i just write”.
