The great men meet
To decide our fate
To consult their god
In Wonderland's gate
"I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires."
- Susan B. Anthony

Who lives in my room?
Why is?
I do not know
But I guess
Someone is there

I Try
But don't get caught
Have tried hundreds
Are not on the brink of thy mind

And what do I say about thy
Couldn't understand the pain
Of thy mind
Yet listen to thy voice,
Not to play with the world

I Live
Across the world
Played over fair vanity
Can I reach to thy door?
Peeping through the window down --
/
Who lives in my room?

Happy Valentine's Day for Everybody

Let me tie you up
and torture you
like the way you did me

I want to deal the death card
just for you and me
then once again we will be free

You did your best to **** me
now it is my turn
see if I'm luckier in what I've learnt

Let's get close to death
lets die in eachothers arms
in the blood of sweet charms

Are you ready to die
tell me you want to
for I truly do


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris
Tayo na lagi na lang
Napag-iiwanan,
Nasa hulihan
Sa karahasan, katamaran
Nasa'n ang katapusan

Natutulog?
Hindi
Tayo ay gising na gising
Mulat ang mga mata sa katotohanan
Pero
Hanggang sa kasalukuyan
Nakahiga
Nakabaluktot
Nakahandusay
Sa kamang minantsahan
Ng mga patak ng dugo at luha at
Dinungisan
Ng mga apak ng mga dayuhan
Pati na rin ng mga tao sa sarili nating bayan

Kasi naman
Sino bang makakatulog dito
Sa lakas ng sigaw
Para sa tulong at hustisiya
Sa ingay ng iyak ni bunso
Para sa tatay na nawalay
Sa lagkit ng dumi
Na bumabalot sa pulitika
Sa baho ng amoy
Ng nabubulok na sistema

Ilang daang taon, nakahiga pa rin
Namanhid na ba tayo sa tagal ng panahon?
Nabulag sa yaman?
Nalasing sa kapangyarihan?
Nahilo sa ikot ng mundo?
O nawalan ng pag-asa na lang ba tayo?

Gising pero hindi pa rin nakabangon
Sa bayang hindi naman mangmang,
Wala lamang pakialam
I'm no Balagtas or Gloc-9 but here's my best shot at a poem in Filipino. More to come!
your warmth
your breath
makes my heart
glow with love
10w written for my daughter.  I wrote this while she was sleeping on my chest.

Cuts heal,
The memories stay,
Scars fade,
But i'm not okay.
Night drifts into a sun filled day
Memories fade but never go away

Seeds blossom into the most beautiful flowers
Minds remember only sadness in the darkest hours

Oceans crash into the shores as waves
Tears are fueled by hearts set ablaze

Boys become men and girls become women
A soul must break before it can begin

Sun turns to dusk at the start of every night
Everything must go wrong before it becomes right
Dreams are much better
Than my forsaken reality

Every moment of it, I savor
Because when these eyes open
I'll wake up into a nightmare
