For Luna

whichever color you glow;
a calm, serene white
a blood-crimson red
a rare, sorrowful blue
a lonely void of black

however you illuminate the night;
whether you wax and shine with the stars
or wane and hide above the clouds
whether you make a proud crescent
or be a glorious gibbous
or even divide the darkness
as either of the quarters

whatever shape you become
whatever shade you gleam
you will always be beautiful in my eyes
whatever you may seem

The very rare occurrence of a Super Blue Blood Moon happened last night and as a selenophile myself, I eagerly watched and waited for Luna and I figured a poem might be nice.

for our future

Every word
might not be enough to describe my
best wishes for us,
even if I try to learn every language and
read every book.
Good times are ahead of us.
Every bad second assures
more moments that we'll much cherish.
Let this journey of ours make your worries
over and done and let Him
guide us to the rest of our days
and always know that I will
never leave your side.

I actually two poems for my future spouse, this was the other

A Letter To My Future Spouse

Little by little, I will learn from you
Each and everyday.
All your laughs and laments;
Naughts and nevers;
In every detail of your own story
And in every inch of your soul.

May our journey keep us together
Always and forever.
Hands of ours writing our story yet
Intertwined on the other.
May every moment we make,
Every memory and regret,
Remembered evermore.

I am taking a course in college about Marriage & Family in society. And our professor required us to make a 'letter' to our future spouse. I took this opportunity to make another poem, even though I'm busy with other academics.

World

Limutin na ang mundo
Forget the world
And its intricacies
Your abusive father
Your good-for-nothing frenemies
Let go of the earth
Reach for the uncertainties

Nang magkasama tayo
I'll be here holding your hand
Reading your fears
In the lines of your palm
While feeling your taken risks
In the spirals of your fingertips

Sunod sa bawat galaw
Let me take the lead
Follow my steps
As we waltz off
From our consciousness
to the chains of the world

Hindi na maliligaw
We'll never be lost
When all miseries will be unknown
Or at least, we'll be lost
In all that is ours

Mundo'y magiging ikaw
*You will be my world
And I hope I'll be yours too

A poem based from the lyrncs of "Mundo" by IV Of Spades. They're a great indie OPM band, if you're not familiar. Check them out!

lapis

lapis
gamit panulat
sa dulo'y pambura
pantanggal ng sulat

lapis
pinapatulis
gamit ng maliit na pantasa
panlinaw ng sulat

hapis
pilit pinipiga
mula sa pusong sumusuko na
papunta sa dulo ng pansulat

lapis
wala na
tinasahan at pinilit buuin
ngunit nabali na

Taliwas

nalaman ko lamang ngayon
na tayo ay di nababagay
sa takbo ng realidad
na ating kinabibilangan

sabi nila
kapag sila'y magkasama
humihinto ang oras
ngunit kapag ika'y kasama
patuloy na umaandar ang mga kamay sa aking relo

bibilangin ang bawat segundong pumapatak
habang dinaramdam ang haplos ng iyong palad sa aking kamay

at sa bawat minutong daraan
ay mamasdan ang iyong mga puwang sa gitna ng iyong mga daliri
at kung bakit tugma lamang kapag pinatong ko ang akin
tila ginawa ang iyong mga daliri upang punan ang mga puwang sa aking sarili

ngayo'y ako'y maglalakad
hawak ang iyong kamay
at mamumuhay sa taliwas na realidad
at ikaw ang aking karamay

I am now finding my words. Thank you.

every moment

Every moment away with you feels like
Mornings without the sun and the
Breezy evenings that blow
Every strand of your straight, sweet-scented hair that
Reminds me of summer, right to my face are
Gone and made non-existent but
Every moment I spend with you is a
Miracle for a soul
Like me who holds
On to things so simple like the
Gentle touch of your fingertips to mine,
All of the warm embraces from my heart to yours;
Nothing will ever compare to all of those.
