i love you
Stardust Shower Mar 2018
i don't know
if i love you
as a man,
as a brother,
as a friend,
or as a human being
but i love you,
isn't that enough?

i don't know
if this love is
romantic,
platonic,
or even tragic
but i love you
and that's what matters.

nine
Stardust Shower Apr 2017
it's only nine,
where the night barely shows its deep secrets
yet i already am sharing mine with it.
in between the pandemonium
and the faint sounds of television
in the dim light of living room,
i tell the night of how i crave for your skin.
how every little touch of yours would wake the butterflies inside my stomach,
how soft your milky face would feel like,
and how i want to connect the constellation of moles and imperfections in your perfect face.

it's only nine,
the time i want to breathe you in as i hold your tiny hands,
that i'm convinced would feel warm in the midst of howling wind.
i want to hold you and tell you my restlessness of not having you by my side.
it's the first time i want to see your face instead of the gleaming stars above,
because your eyes hold more than millions stars and constellations in the sky.
but don't tell the night, for it would be jealous of you.

now
Stardust Shower Mar 2018
now
some people want things
to last forever,
but forever does not even
last forever
and nothing lasts for all
eternity.
so i'll let you have my now
if you let me have yours.
and if our nows don't
work forever, like everything
in this world,
you'll have had my then
whilst i'll have had yours.
it's ephemeral,
but it's beautiful.

home
Stardust Shower Jul 2017
home is the place where you belong that gives you warmth and strength,
a place that you long when you've been gone too long, or even just a while,
but sometimes, home isn't a building with walls and doors and windows,
because for me, it's you
the fireplace that gives me warmth is in your eyes,
your smile strengthens me like the sound sleep after a long day,
and your touch is like the warm shower that makes me forget after the tiring things,
it's you, my home is you.

Like a Lighthouse
Stardust Shower Feb 2018
On the edge of the shore I stood,
the waves hitting my feet roughly,
the wind being jealous.

Far on my left side,
was a lighthouse standing mightily,
unbothered by the waves and the wind
that were fighting for its attention.

Standing mightily, in spite of being alone,
like it was waiting for someone,
for something to happen.

The lights tell otherwise,
they were always flashing brutally,
like telling people not to come close,
like warning them they'd get hurt if they come close.

It looks blue,
with the colors that started to fade
on every side.

How does it feel to be a lighthouse?
Standing on the edge of two worlds,
with the waves crashing, with the wind blowing,
when the tide rises, when the tide falls.

Does it ever get tired?

them whom i promised
Stardust Shower Apr 2017
to the earth you stand on,
to the sky you look up at,
to the moon you always adore,
to the stars that spark dimly since your eyes,
to the sun your smile outshines,
to the whole constellation connecting more dots than words i have to express my love,
and to your holy name i love to hail,
your dreamy lips moving upward when you see me,
your body god himself carved that i love drowning myself in,

have i promised to love and protect you, against all odds.

learn again
Stardust Shower May 2017
up to this day,
one am and nineteen years of living,
i thought i had mastered the art of looking forward
and loving every piece of myself that once i hated,
or the ones i've never really loved

but the world often prove me wrong
it made me tough as rocks just to bring the waves hitting me again
or simply by the words of mere meaningless letters
that aren't supposed to punch my gut

it doesn't take much to make my heart feel like carrying the whole world
it doesn't take much to take down the guards i've built
and you don't need to point your weapons at me and beat me up
to make me rethink of my decision to love myself

it does hurt for now like the world is against me
but i will pick up the pieces of my broken self back
and learn to love every single one of them again

a song that is everywhere
Stardust Shower Apr 2018
you're a song that never gets old
a song that once was a hit back in 99
a song that i never get tired listening to
a song that brings back memories
a song that gives a nostalgic ambience

you're a song that keeps repeating in my head
a song that i can't forget
a song i jam to with my friends at a karaoke
and as much as i want to get rid of it
it is everywhere

it is played on the radio,
in dusk at the diner,
in the car on our midnight drives,
at the stores when we randomly strolled down the mall,
in the morning i got my heart broken

you're everywhere

and i can't forget you

whole
Stardust Shower Mar 2018
some days when i wake up
there's a pitch black hole inside me
that makes me feel like
i don't belong here

some days when i wake up
it feels like a part of my soul
is wandering to places
to sad places

and has yet to come back
filling the void inside me
that makes me feel empty
and feel like i am not whole

it didn't

we thought it'd work, it didn't.
