Bakô **** kasalan
na padángat ka niya
Bigla ka nalang nag-abót
Bigla nalang nagbutwá’
Bigla nalang nagkusóg
An saiyang buot.
Pirmi siyang nawawaran
ning hinangos
Hinahapot an sadíri
kun mapadágos o dai
Bakô **** kasalan
na pinili ka niya
Pirang aldaw niyang pinagisipan
Pirang patak kan urán an nabilang
Sigurado na siya sa saiyang namamatian

Garo úlod
Bigla nalang nag-abót
Bigla nalang nagbutwá
Basta nalang nagkamang sa irárom
Kan saiyang kublít
Pirit niya mang halion
Naging parte na kan hawak
Pirit niya mang halion
Sa saiyang kublít
Dai na niya magibo sa sobrang rárom
Bigla nalang nagbutwá
Bigla nalang nag-abót
Garo úlod
Natuod na gayod
Sa katuninongan na hinatod
Kan saimong pag-abot
Kadakol lugar an gustong istarán
Pero saro lang an nasunoan

Aram mo kun sáin
an pinakatunínong
na saiyang nadumanan?

Duman sa lugár kun sáin
pírme niyang nahihiling
an pagpikít asin pagbuklát
kan saimong mga matá.

Dae ko aram kun tano,
Pero saimo, gusto ko magtubod.
Ano daw yaon saimo -
Ta ika, gusto ko na intindihon?
Pirang aldaw pa sana man.
Pero an ibahan ta, magian.
Dati, dae mo ako mapasurat
Nin piyesa na dae mamundo.
Pero ngunyan, balewala an takot -
Ngunyan, dae na mapadaog.
Kun ano man an nakaagi mo,
Aakuon ko.
Aakuon an kaogmahan mo.
Aakuon an pagkukulang mo.
Naintindihan ko an paghadit mo,
Ta dawa ako, nakulugan man ako.
Dae ako mataram nin patapos,
Pero gusto ko na maaraman mo,
Sa pirang aldaw tang ibahan, naogma ako.
Sa pirang aldaw tang ibahan, pinaogma mo ako.
Gusto takang bistuhon na hararom,
Pero ipapaubaya ko na iyan sa panahon.
Kun ano man an kaluluwasan,
Iyan, satuya nalang maaaraman.

today
three people
entered the room
one was asking
about the moon
why does it search
for the stars
run away
and never come back
the other one
was asking
about the sun
why does it follow
the moon
and light it's path
last one was
asking about you
why did you hide the stars?

Here you are in my bedroom
Heavily sleeping after a crazy day at work
As I slowly tucked myself in bed beside you
I’m a fan of how you sleep
how such a little angel can be so beautiful
those closed eyes are enough for me to smile
those rosy cheeks that I always ****** a kiss
your lips that I always miss kissing
I always soft pinch your nose and giggle
I laughed every time I caught you waking up
cause you slowly shy yourself away
I always think.. 'ahhww that’s cute'

Here you are in my bedroom
How I wish you’ll stay here forever
you always give me those warmest hugs
those softest kiss

I wanna wake up
beside you
in the nights
when my nightmares come true

I wanna kiss you
whenever I miss you
in the daylight
when I'm alone, just alone

I wanna hold you
and never let you go away
in my dreams
let me sleep again

Here I am sleeping beside you
Inside this dream where I can hold you
without traveling miles just to see you
Inside this dream where I can
feel the warmth of your skin
hear the sound of your breathing
touch the fine lines of your body
I never knew love would be like this
No one taught me that love can feel like this
How can one can explain the burst of emotions
It’s like seeing a plane for the first time
It’s like hearing your mother’s voice for the first time
it’s like a dog waiting for it’s owner to come home
No one taught me how to love
How can one explain something you don’t know
it’s like a caterpillar ,growing into something unknown; a butterfly
It’s like flying but still those feet always touch the ground
I swear I can create a song out of this
we’ll write the lyrics in our bodies
and let our soul be the instrument
and we’ll dance each word that we wrote
I’ll show you what I can do,
We’ll show the world what love can do
I know that I’m still sleeping
and still you’re sleeping beside me
this memory will always be with me.

Here I am ,

I wanna wake up
beside you
in the nights
when my nightmares come true

I wanna kiss you
whenever I miss you
in the daylight
when I'm alone, just alone

I wanna hold you
and never let you goooo away
in my dreams
let me sleep again

Let me sleep until I dream of you again
and I never wanna wake up knowing you're not here

for the branch to reach us
for the leaves to save us
for the ones who leaves us

Particularly Normal
raquezha Nov 2017
I write when I'm lonely or when I'm extremely happy.
Somewhere between just feels normal to me.
Then I ask myself what does normal mean to me anyway?
I then walk to my normal path on my way home.
I eat my normal meal. I sleep on my normal bed.
I wake up normally.
I use my normal toothbrush.
I walk on normal streets to work.
Then I suddenly stop and look curiously on the day sky.

How come I never seen this view?
Am I too happy?
Or too lonely?
Or maybe I'm becoming something else.

Normally I don't write like this.
Maybe I should try something else.
Normally doesn't mean much anyway.
**** life and all its delusional *****.

Do what you want to do and make the most out of it.
Stay focus.
Don't lose track.
Stay calm and keep everything under control.
Eventually everything will fall into their rightful places.

I don't mind crying just like how you melt with me
Say goodbye now, at least we're here trying

I still believe

Everyday is a new beginning
Everything is gonna be fine
You're already mine
As I am also with you
all this time

Let's make every tears
Into memories
And don't worry about
tomorrow
I know this because
when I look at you
I saw the future
I saw us together
I find myself smiling
because I saw us smiling
I saw us being happy

Your smile brings happiness
Your smile is the best
But ours is the greatest

i can/t
raquezha Aug 2019
I cannot breathe, the first time you ask me to leave
I cannot sleep, my knees keep trembling and I feel so weak

My stomach is pulling me in and out of my mind
I'm loosing myself in sickness and in fray
All I wanted is to be okay, till death rip me apart

I cannot close my eyes,
I'm melting inside
I kept hearing words, letters, numbers and voices
I needed time, space and the unknown

pull me back up
throw me out
throw me up
let me out
breathe in
and spiral me out
this needs to stop

I cannot breathe, the first time you ask me to leave
I was staring right back at you
staring deep into those eyes
so deep, that I cannot let this happen

How can I let this celestial beauty pass by
I want to dive deep inside those binary eyes
Explore the undiplomatic universe
I'll shoot myself into flare
Wander in every unknown galaxies
Watch the all the stars explode
all the black holes implode
Watch us our soul perform the ablation
I'll ride the Oort Cloud
Navigate every quadrant
Jump from planet to planet
And discover the hidden truth about those eyes
those psychotic and hypnotic eyes

Why would you not let me in? Inside those beautiful head of yours?
Now, I cannot breathe again, and again, and again and again
None of us can leave, Neither of us can escape

My body's starts shaking
My head is all over the place
I cannot breathe, when you ask me to leave

This hands keeps writing about a distant memory from the future

the words were:
"This is not happening,
this is only exist in your head,
those little voices are your worst enemy
and hey guest what?
your best friend.
They exist so you can live,
they creep at night to tell yout to sleep
But you're so afraid of them
that's why you can't sleep"

I got up went to the bathroom sink
splash some water on my face
I look in to the mirror
I stare at it
and for the longest time
I look at my face
and I said:
"You can leave"

A Bright World
raquezha Nov 2019
Love, is it the only thing that will keep us alive?

they say only fools run shame
but how can I not fall
for the things that
makes this night beautiful
I simply want to say
that I fell inlove with you

looking back to the days
when I'm crying for days
you simply extend your arms
and said: "it's okay"

looking back to my past
I'm glad I'm still here, sitting
with a bottle of beer and
a breathe of classic music
dancing all over the place

I miss the stars,
I remember I was the loneliest star
surrounded by all the lucky stars
You made me realize
I'm not a star
I'm more than that
I'm a myself
I can be more than anything
I can ever imagine

I'm looking at a bright world
I'm looking at it right now
I still don't know where to go
Or where this road will lead me
But I know every step of the way
will lead me to you

Do you remember the kiss
on the night we'd never miss
under the stars we wish
above the grass to stay like this

We traveled so far
just to find a place
but yours is the safest space

You filled my bucket list
with sunny days
you make the rain go away
warm hugs and soft kisses

can't come back home

*** and Flings

You came home crying
Stuck in between of
Fighting and trying

There's a fine line between
Loving, Liking and *******

Stars crashed
in front of me
as I go to private streets
I tend to think
beyond those painful hints
I tend to cry
over simple thought
that you and I
will never work
I tend to walk
until I can
no longer walk
why on earth
would you make me feel
that there can never be
you and me
