You know, I always do try to look for your flaws;
     it might save me from falling.



But the more I try to see in your faults,
     the more I try to get disappointed with your cracks,
          is the more I'm starting to get lost in your void.



I am a spark of light wandering through the darkness of you.

I am a lost star in the middle of your infinite universe.
Peter Simon Aug 2015
My clock heart is ticking fast
I inhaled pollen,
Breathed petals

My wooden skin's starting to rust
I ate rubber,
Spitted metals

Now my eyes are bleeding dust
I kissed fire,
Chewed its smoke

I don't how long I'd last
My bones shatter;
How would I dance?

When it rained,
I tried looking for rainbows
But the skies were filled with dark clouds

When the darkness came,
I tried looking for stars
But everywhere was pitch black

Now that I am lost,
I want to look for you
But I know you too are adrift
In your own dream
Trying to figure out
Where those butterflies are

And if they wanted you to see them

He promised Mama he would come back,
Before he left, three days after I was born
Now, still no sign of him, and I’m 18
But I will be here; I’ll keep waiting

No matter how long…
No matter where you are…
No matter what happens…


I don’t care if he already has a wife
Yes, it’ll be fine
I don’t care if he had children with her
Yes, I don’t mind

It’s him I want,
I won’t get mad
I would hug him tight;
Tightest of the hugs I’ve ever given to anybody else

I will wait, I promise
I just hope it won’t take forever
I will wait, because I promised I would
And I will wait, because
He promised Mama he would come back

There is a city inside my body
With cars making their way through my veins
People are on rush like they’re insane

My organs make up the industries
And the people are the workers
They work twenty-four/seven, tirelessly

Waiting for the food
Which they make into goods
And supply to all the smaller towns

But in my body,
The day never comes
So they’re accustomed to night-time

And all the routes and all the buildings,
And all the cars with their honking
Even lampposts and payphones

All the houses’ windows
Maybe even TVs and radios
Together, they make their own city lights

'Wag kang mag-alala,
'Pag nilangaw na ang
     bahagharing tuyot na
     at wala nang sigla,
Lilipad ang mga paru-parong
     matagal nang nagtago
     sa aking sikmura,
Noong mga panahong
     pinaghalong saya at kaba pa
     ang nararamdaman ko
     'pag kasama kita...
'Wag kang mag-alala,
     mamahalin pa rin kita...

'Wag kang mag-alala,
'Pag napagod na ang
     dagat sa pag-alon
     at pagsayaw ng mahinahon,
Patutulugin siya pansamantala
     ng mga minahal at
     pinagkatagu-tago kong mga ibon
Na nagkubli sa tinig mo
     habang inakala kong
     hindi lilipasin ng panahon...
'Wag kang mag-alala,
     mamahalin pa rin kita...

'Wag kang mag-alala,
'Pag tinamad nang umawit
     ang hangin para sa
     iningatang puso,
Bababa ang mga tala
     na inipon nang
     matagal at itinago,
Upang alisin ang lamig ng gabi
     na noo'y nasa mga bisig mo
     at inakalang 'di magbabago...
'Wag kang mag-alala,
    mamahalin pa rin kita...

'Wag kang mag-alala,
'Pag nakalimutan nang
     ngumiti ng araw
     dahil sa inis,
Yayakapin siya ng buwan
     kahit pa ang kapalit
     ay masunog siya nang labis,
Pipigain ang huling patak
     na luha mula sa mga matang
     tinirahan na ng hinagpis...

'Wag kang mag-alala,
     mamahalin pa rin kita
     kahit sa huling dugong
     dadaloy sa ugat ng puso
     kong sirang-sirang na...

'Wag kang mag-alala,
     mamahalin pa rin kita
     kahit sa huling hanging
     aagpas sa aking bibig
     na pagod nang sumigaw...

'Wag kang mag-alala,
mamahalin pa rin kita, Mahal...

Have you ever seen a night sky so clear;
So clear that there’s not even a sign of the moon’s existence?

Well, I’m under one right now
The street is empty and the darkness is silent
No rustling of leaves or bushes,
No hums of crickets singing in chorus

Window drapes are down
And they’re all black instead of yellow
Streetlights are the only source of light
And that telephone booth standing steadily alone on the corner

Hands inside my hoodie’s pocket, I go in it
I pick the phone up and started dialing a number
When suddenly all the lights go out
In a blink of an eye, and the world is in total darkness

Everything is quieter than ever
Then the wind comes whooshing
The thunder begins applauding
The lighting started like camera flashes

Raindrops as big as golf ***** fall from the sky
And the way they hit the roof of the booth,
I almost believe they’re as heavy
Inside the booth I still get wet from all the sweat

Then, as if on cue, the storm dies
Quietness floods again
The booth light flickers but that’s all
Streetlights never come back

Hesitating for a moment, I slowly go out
I look up and the sky isn’t just a black canvas anymore;
It’s now filled with blots of white ink
Glittered to life

I kick the waters not yet ****** up by the drains
I look at how calm they are
Mirroring the beautiful night sky painted
I can definitely say I’m top and under the cosmos
