You will not see my shadow pass
the gate of mournings eerie dark
Nor hear my voice among the reeds
that grow above my silenced heart
No fondest kiss to furrowed brow
to quell the torment of your making
for you have left me here alone
to sleep the sleep that knows no waking.
The last line was pilfered from a Victorian grave stone. It was too beautiful to leave there.
hey, look! look, up in the sky!
stars are falling! falling stars!
make a wish, make a wish!
i wish he'll love me back

then a falling star came near
and i saw that it isn't a star
it's you falling for me.
i wrote this in a whim at about 6 in the morning. i found this poem funny,  i don't even know why. maybe it's because it's too corny. Haha!

I love September

because I got to spend
each beautiful day with you

and now tonight,
as I dream once again

of kissing you tomorrow

I am reminded,

I love October too

when people leave me, i just let them go

cos I'd rather be a chewed gum

that was thrown away in the trash can

than be a sticky gum under your shoe

and be dragged and stepped on by you.

saw this when im reading my 2015 journal
ilang beses na ba akong ngumiti ng magisa
habang iniisip ko ang mga panahong kasama kita

ilang beses na ba akong umiyak sa aking kwarto
habang tinitiis ko ang sakit at pighati sa aking puso

ilang beses na ba ako umiling
upang mawala ang alaala mo saking isip

ilang beses na ba ako nagbuntong hininga
upang mailabas ang lungkot na aking nadarama

ilang beses na ba akong nagsulat ng liham
na hindi ko naman naibigay kahit kailan

ilang beses na ba akong gumawa ng tula
tungkol sa pagibig na di ko naman maipadama

ilang beses ko na bang binulong sa hangin
na mahal kita,
na mahal kita kahit magisa lamang akong umiibig*

I rarely write poems in my vernacular language but when I do, it's totally cringe-worthy (for me). I think it's the power of the Filipino language. Haha!
I smiled, words showed up

I cried, words trickled down

Breath in-out, words came out
it's like i'm sweating words and it's the most natural thing in the world
