My Metamorphosis.
And they wished,
when the sheath was slit,
to see a marvelous butterfly
fluffing its wings.

But there,
came out a moth,
so they closed their eyes
while I
remained marvelous.

BULLET
I need but to bite the bullet,
unless I will let it hit me
straight in the head,
and watch myself,
blood pooled,
lifeless,
dead.

The End.
There was
he and I,
before
he and she.

Though now
he is with her,
I am still stuck
somewhere
in the middle of
how did we end?*

Paradox.
My heart is hollow
but, is
occupied.

I am still consumed,
by him,
like his hold still
creeps on to my skin.

In his absence, why
there love still
exists, and is
emboldened.

Before You'd Go
Before you go,
hand me back
the pieces of my
broken heart;

because,

someday...

someone will come
and will try to
patch me.

Love Is In Places
Love,
is in many places,
in dusts blown to and fro;
in peacocks' beautiful hue;
in ants beneath the lion's claw;
in bed with me, a naked you.

Love is in places,
where I am with you.

My Share.
Love me yes.
Love me not.
This me in doubt
'til your lips kissed me words:
Love is something
beyond my grasp
nor can be sure of.
But I feel,
I trust, and I know
that there is love
and I can have one too
and I found my share in you.

Let The Poem Be
Let the pen birth
a new poem spring
that of which is raw
and cuts deep through;
that of which in tradition
does not conform;
that of which words bend souls.

Let the paper be not
the seeker of praise
but let it be the keeper of tears
that which fall
occasionally unnoticed.

Let the ink run beyond meters,
rhythms, or lines.
Let the words laugh,
let it cry, live or die.

Above all, let the poem be free
for that is how it is
supposed to be.

Mirror.
He told me to describe my pain.
And so I did.
And gave him shattered pieces
of a mirror,
whose broken fragments
reveal a reflection of him.

Memories of Him
One of these days,
you'll be in places
where you and him
once had been;

The chair he once occupied,
the window that
once reflected him
stealing glances of you
when you smiled,
the tissue he once used
to scribble your names
with a heart in between;

These pictures
will strip the memories
you'd fought to conceal,
and will bring you back
to the very place
where he left his marks---
your heart.

Madness.
Love,
is a lie that
poisons the heart;
The apple
that burns the eyes
with a desire for a bite,
whether there is or none
a charming with
a true love's kiss
to blow us out
from our madness.*

and you there
hiding from afar,
watching me
eager to find you.

Come out now, I plea.

Self-will.
Deep within this dark pit
of where my soul is cursed with guilt
I looked above to hope for hopes
Waiting for heaven to pardon my rotting bones

I heard the angels let out a cry
when thunder broke the bleeding sky
From its hole, stones did fall
Hitting me hard, in pain I groaned

Casting unto me the punishment I deserved
So I surrendered my helpless self
Doubting if the wooden tree, where blood spilled
Could really save, as what the apostles professed.

But here I am, at now and present
where my own blood is the only thing that exists
In every dripping drop of blood
dawns onto me that,

It is only me in this pit
My own blood that drips
who else could save me
aside from myself?

Thence I moved my broken limbs.

Disclaimer: I believe in Jesus, and that in Him alone shall sinner be saved.

But there is some time in our Christian life that we need to climb, to move and to will to carry our own cross along the road of Calvary.

Whole, But.
Love slips
through the heart wall's holes,
and settles with
the dust in the wind.

Many have tried netting,
collecting some pieces
of my piece
dispersed into the vastness.

But sooner, they all
let go.

Thus this love remains,
whole, but, scattered.

- but somebody, someday
will contain me, all of me.
Confine me in his arms.

Aftermath
I will soon see a smile
like a rainbow
stretch to comfort my heart
that had been stormed
by past mishandling.  

And when that time comes,
even I be smothered again,
I will stand invincible.
For as the sky after the storm
behold its rainbow,
so will my heart behold him more.

This I know,
He will be my sweet aftermath.

3am:
I was writing a love letter.

It was full of longings,
of hopes, of passion,
of pleas, of love.

I wrote my name on the sender,
I stopped, suddenly
wondering if to whom shall I send it.

And my letter ended
without a recipient.

Of our past.

That is all the

I carry,
all along,
against the
relentless waves

wallowed by
my wrecked heart.

I chose to carry
you,
in the sea of
my collected tears,

for without it,
your memories,

I won't thrive
to breathe.

In-Love.
I am in-love,
Because I could not say,
nor feel, nor think of
any other words of you than
"I love you."

I just feel you bursting,
pounding within my heart.
And I could not contain you.
That when I think of happiness,
there is you
and there is love.
And of future, there is you,
and there is love.
And of love, there is you.
And when I think of you,
O I am just like,
"My very own love."

Love Hurts and Heals
Love has its faint ways
of cutting a heart deep
more than what a knife could.

And only through its ways
that its wound too could heal.

And that may be is the reason
why even if love comes with agony
Hearts still fall in love with love.

Pressured with the association to joy, and to love.
Though it has been meaning to shout, that
Beneath its edge, behind its stroke and shade
is a hiding place of sadness, of tears
when it feels blue and when blood-tinge of fury mixes with its hue.
