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

Baby, you make music
like a mother's love
you take your listeners
to their childhood memories
you make them miss their moms
your music kills all the cliches in the world
your music heals all sounds
your music captures my soul
so don't ever stop
until you reach your goal

Minsan a kaipuhan ka tawo,
Talinga na migrungog,
Matang nakakabayad ka kulog,
Ngangang diri nag riribok.

Minsan mas maray
na magirongog,
kaysa sa sabayan
a pagsilyak ku pinagaagihan,
kaysa mag ngabil
sa uda man kamalmagan,
sa lugar na uda man iiyanan.

Minsan mas magayon na magtambay
sa lugar na uda pakialamanan,
sa kapehan, usip, surat
Sabay silyak kading mga namamatian.

Your love is like a candle
limited but radiates a bright energy,
the longer I stare the faster it melts
but it melts inside me

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

To the one
who loves
cats & drawings
I hope you keep on going
even if your pen
always go missing
because of a
lovely cat that you're petting
It just wants
to play with you
also loves to be
fed by you

So keep on going
you'll never surrender
cause you're a cat lover

comeback
that's the only word
I said that day
while we're sitting
inside a cafe
waiting for the rain to stop
I miss you a lot
you used to take me
to our local KFC
I'm always excited
you always make me excited
but I realized
you'll never be coming back
Take care

Always,
Me

come inside
feel at home
take your time
you're never alone
sit back
rest your back
look at the sky
relax
follow your breathing
look at the sky
now close your eyes
continue breathing
take all the good memories
exhale all your worries
don't ever leave
and
don't forget to live

It's been a long time
since I saw your face
and last night
we meet again

You we're the strangest thing
life has to offer
I needed you when
you don't need me

As you needed me
When I don't want
to fall in despair

I realized

I
don't
want
to
die
in
a
crash

because
that
would
be
slow
and
painful

quick
death
is
enough
for me
to rest

I wave at you
but you never dare
to cast a spell
on my eyes

you turn
your back
you run
around
holding
your

long
smile

You know I needed that smile
You know I needed you

I shall call you unknown
I don't want to do anything
related to you
I hope this is the last
Flames in my hand
Static in my heart
Thorns will break
I will be weak
This is the last
Let this melt
evaporate
disintegrate
delete
gone
none
I
am
done

Die with me
let's climb
the highest tree
wrap ourselves
with the clothes of time
Let's jump

take our soul
keep it inside the bottle

Let's wait
for the ground to hit us
for the branch to reach us
for the leaves to save us
for the ones who leaves us
for us

Die

Waiting to be appreciated
Waiting to be taken care of
Dried up by the Sun

Hands soiled by blood
Tears mixed with rain
Smile covered by sin
Life has started to drain

I started to think
is this life worth living
is everything real
or I am just dreaming

I won't wake up from this dream

Sawa na ako sa paulit-ulit

I still remember the night
I asked if I can hold you tight
the feeling was light
your smile was so bright
and your hands fits just right

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
is on its way

So today, let's wait
until the end of the day
I'm excited to see you
until I see you everyday

run away
run away from me

goal of a picture
is to capture
a moment in time
that takes you back
to a spiral journey
freezing everything
portraying nothing
just an imagery
of a timeless memory
stuck between
seconds and minutes
hours and days
here and everywhere
it's not just a picture
it's also about you

and put smile on everybody's faces
Goodnight my dear twilight
sweet kisses will travel
the world for you tonight

In tagalog…
Nagmahal ka na ng ilang katawan?


Sa lipunang ating ginagalawan 
naranasan mo na bang matitigan 
na para kang hinuhubaran? 
Naranasan mo na bang maging barya? 
Na gagamitin kang panukli 
sa mga kasalanan nila. 
Masarap pa bang mabuhay sa labas, 
kung ang tingin sayo ay 
labasan ng sarap ng loob. 


Nagmahal ka na ba ng ilang katawan?
na ang tingin mo lang sa kanya 
ay panandaliang pulutan.
 na kapag nabulatlat mo na't lahat 
 ay pssst waiter isa pa ngang ganyan, 
 ung malaman para
 kumukulo kong kalamnan. 
 ung makinis, 
 masarap titigan, 
 ung masarap hawakan,
nagsuot lang ng maikli 
ay pinasok mo na agad 
sa makitid **** utak, 
napakabilis ng kamay mo, 
sing bilis ng kabayo. 


Nagmahal ka na bang ilang katawan? 
dahil lang sa ika'y tigang 
dahil lang sa hindi mo mapigilang maglibang. 
Naputokan ka na ba? 
ng mga sumasabog na alispusta? 
dahil lang sa nagsuot ka ng maganda, 
pokpok ka na? 
Lumaki ako na ang tingin sa ari ng babae 
ay parang laro sa perya, 
iyong may itatapon kang matalim 
para ang lobo'y pasabogin
kung ilan ang naputok **** lobo 
ay yun din ang estado mo, 
syempre mas marami 
mas malaki ang premyo. 


Tinuruan ako ng lipunan 
na tratohin silang parang salamin, 
alagaan at mahalin, 
pero pag sawa ka na't nauumay ay babasagin,
na kapag ginawa mo ito 
ay isa ka ng ganap na lalake. 
Na para mapitas mo ang mansanas ni eba 
ay dapat magbalat kayo ka. 
ahas ika nga, 
magbabalat ang katawan 
para sa iba naman. 
para makarami naman. 
Na kapag napaikot mo na't 
sumangayon na sayo 
ay dahan dahan **** ipasok 
ang pagkalalake mo.
Ito ay para humingi ng tawag I 
sa mga babaeng nagawan ko ng masama. 
Sa lipunang ating kinatatayoan, 
sa lipunang ating unti unting binubuo 
para sa darating pang henerasyon 
Magmamahal ka pa ba ilang katawan?
Hanggang ngayon 
maski ang ating lipunan 
ay hindi alam depinisyonwas one 
ng pagiging lalake. 
Pero siguro panahon na 
para tanongin natin ang ating sarili
Kung tama pa ba ang ginagawa natin? 
ito ba ang gusto nating gayahin ng mga susunod sa atin?

We came home early
I opened the door
Like wild animals
We hunted for love
With eyes wide open
I grabbed her body

She closed the door
Like wild hunter
We slowly killed our home
And started to rebuild our own

And we danced
As if it is our last

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"

Last chance to fall asleep
I closed my eyes
followed my breath
Its path is shallow
The road is narrow
Dark cave is where I stumbled
I became smaller
Those cat eyes
made me weaker

I wondered

Is this a dream
or is this the place
Where the sheep
can't come back home

I wandered
raquezha Jun 2019
Lead me
to the place
you always go
Let's watch
ourselves grow
I'll take you
to places I know
Let's watch the sky
until the moon shines
let's stay together
until the end of time

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

You want to travel
You want to walk
You want to feel
and grasp the world
you want to stare at it
be one with it
with your own eyes
with your own body
with your soul
with me

I ask why
It has to be
me

Are you searching
for something
Or is it because
I'm free

Either way
I want to know
So we both
get an answer
from the unknown

I once read
Sir Laurens van der Post's
Story about 'Hunger'

He said:
"The Bushmen
in the Kalahari Desert
talk about two "hungers"
There is the Great Hunger
and there is the little hunger
The Little Hunger
wants food in the belly
The Greater Hunger
the greatest hunger of all
is the hunger for meaning"

And you said:
Maybe that's why
your feet wants to
dance and run
for meaning

Maybe that's why
my mouth wants
to taste and eat
for meaning

Maybe that's why
you feel that
your heart
has hole in it

You said that you
you long for me
you miss me

I stop from walking
I think about
what your feeling

Maybe that's
what we are
Occupants of Time
Traveller for meaning
Constantly searching
Never ending expedition
In greater lengths of life
We don't wait
for the morning light
we change ourselves
in the afternoon of our life
and in the evening
we'll realize everything
has its own meaning

I was thought
to never forget
where you came from
cause after all the running
and searching for everything
we'll all go back from
the beginning
where everything
means nothing
and nothing means
everything to life

Eventually what we have
will be take away from us
What we are will fade
and return to dust
After nothingness
is a life waiting to be lived

You said that life
without love has no meaning
and said your definition
of love is me
and the world is our
safest place
and beside me
is your favorite space
That's why you want to give
the world a dance it deserves
A dance with me
Music will come rushing
from our spine
our souls intertwine
our feet will take its path
our hearts will bring
happiness to the everything
You said that you need me
and you're pessimistic
you choose to
soak yourself
with pain
with sadness
not fighting back

But don't forget about
what I said to you
that I am here for you

You'll always
have my back
when life
pushes you down
sadness starts
to be pour
to the brim
give it to me
Let's drink it
together

You're the Yin
and I'm your Yang
and together
we'll not fall down

Life may bring you down
but I am here for you

Life may take you down
but I am here for you

Life may pull you down
but I am here for you

Don't forget I'm here
Don't forget I'm here
I'm here for you

Life may bring your down
Life may take you down
Life may pull you down
but I'm here for you

Life may break you down
but I am here for you

Noong isang gabi,
habang hinahanap ang sarili,
natagpuan ang LIKHÂ.

Ako'y natuwa,
dahil nasa entablado sila,
silang mga pinapanood ko lang dati sa internet.
Isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit nagtatanghal
ang tulad kong hangal sa harap ng mga estranghero
at binabahagi ang mga dala-dala kong kwento.
Sila na mga nauna at nagbigay inspirasyon
na lalo pang magsulat at magbasa.
Mga mata'y unti-unti namulat
sa mga bagong imahenasyon,
mga leksyon, direksyon at iba't ibang kaalaman
na galing sa ating henerasyon.

Maraming salamat sa gabing inyong nilikha
para sa mga katulad kong naliligaw
at hindi alam ang patutunguhan.
Nagtagpuan kita.
Aking sarili nahanap kita.
Habang nakikinig sa iba't ibang berso
ay sumasayaw ang mga letra sa utak ko.
Habang lumilipad sa ere ang mga ritmo,
nakita ko ang sarili kong mga tula
na parang mga talang nahulog sa langit
papunta sa sa aking mga kamay
at dali-dali kong itinala sa aking puso
dahil kailangan kong ibahagi
ang sining na aking nabuo.

Hindi pa patay ang mga salita,
gamit ang lapis na hawak
mo sabayan mo akong lumikha mga katha.

Mapa kathang-isip o kathang-puso man ito
ay buhay sila at naghihintay sayo.
Hindi bulag ang mga tula,
kaya ka nitong titigan ka sa mata
hanggang sa magiba ang paligid mo't mawala ka nalang bigla. Hindi bingi ang mga obra, naririnig ka nito,
handang dumamay at unawain ang lahat ng pinagdadaanan mo.

Kaya maraming salamat sa gabing inyong binuo't nilikha.
Halika na, halik ka na, halika't sasamahan kita
sa patuloy na paglikha ng kinabukasan
para sa bayan, kultura, sining at sa iyong sarili,
ipagpatuloy ang nasimulan.
Ipagpatuloy ang sinimulan.

Noong isang gabi, habang hinahanap ang sarili,
natutunan ko kung pano ang magLIKHÂ @theartidope style.

Live today
survive tomorrow
clear your mind
Look at the world
don't close your eyes
and stay

as clear as the sea
that's what you should see
there's nothing
more like you
in this world
than you could ever be

the world's gonna end someday
but it's not fun to not have you today

live a long life
cry a little, cry a lot
tears are like rain
they'll fall unnoticed
trees are like you
started from the bottom
ended up staring at the sky
wondering why
there's a limit to life
forever you'll grow
but one must go
and you'll be remembered
as the warrior of soul

Lover of the sun
You always look young
For centuries
you've been looking up
In the morning you wake up
and  looking down
waiting for the sun
to come down
waiting for the night
to pass by
Asking the moon
what to say
when the morning comes

Good morning again, Mr. Sun

Dae ibig sabihon
na tuninong
dae na maogma.

Dae ibig sabihon
na itom,
demonyo ka na.

Dae ibig sabihon na
habo mo sa tao,
mayo ka ng kwenta.

Kung dae mo siya
maintindihan,
respetohan mo
an desisyon niya.

Dae mo pwersahon
an sadiri mo
sa sarong tao.

Ako an tao
na mas gustong
hilingon an kinaban
sa mata kan taong
nasasabatan ko,
arog kan pagabot mo,
yaon ka nanaman
pinapagirumdum sako
na an buhay kan tao
halipot lang.

An duros na hali
sa langit pasiring
sa itom na háwak
asin nagsasakop sa
palibot kan kandila,
An makakan hanggan
sa madiklom
an palibot.

Hanggan sa pagpikit.

Tuninong na boses,
Magian na háwak,
Matagas na boot,
Magayon na numero,
asin kanta na dae
mo mapugolan itao
saimo kan mánlaén-láen
na tao.

Hanggang sa maghinghíng
saimo an kinaban nin:

"Maogmáng Compleaño, Ermano!"

You said you'll get there
As I watched the fire burn this matchstick
You said you'll get there
You actually got there
But the fire didn't

I am
the kind of love
that's been hurt before.

I am
the kind of love
that surpasses their previous one.

I am
the kind of love that
cares about everything
and not only about romance.

I am
the kind of love
that says "I can do this now".

I am
the kind of love
that takes you to places
but still holds you to the ground.

I am
The kind of love
that kids didn't know about.

You are
The kind of love
that I'm talking about.

me against
everybody else
It's always the same
every day
of the month
it's always the same
I open my eyes
I draw a line between
morning and  evening
I make a fist
held it high
high enough
for the birds to see
and everyday passes me by
and
everytime
I
slowly
die

me against
time patrol
guardian of
the future soul
teach me
how to control
the hands
that slipped
through time
go back and
leave a sign
that no matter
what happens
I will not back down
teach me how to fly
I'll learn not to die
teach me to forgive
and I will continue to live

morning comes
and morning goes
and it's all because
of the coffee
you're making me
that gives me another
reason to continue

Life
is
always
unfair
you
know

thinking like that
only makes it fair
for no matter
what happens
I still believe
that everyone
has a happy
place to stay

and that place
is where
you can find me
Staring right back at you
saying

"welcome home"

This is a story of a girl who goes into the shower
but she doesn't want to changed her clothes

And she's ******* infront of me
oh god please I don't wanna see
cause it's tickles down there in me

and then we're
goin' on a free way
we're goin' on a highway
we're goin' to see a movie
we're goin' to see the stars
and watch the milky way
away from the city lights
oh my eyes see everything
even when it's dark

this is gonna be fun
we're gonna run
away from home
we're gonna run
to a place that we we're never ever
to a place that we we're never ever
to a place that we we're never been before

This is a story of a girl who goes into the shower
but she doesn't want to changed her clothes

And she's ******* infront of me
oh god please I don't wanna see
cause it's tickles down there in me

And she's ******* infront of me
oh god please I don't wanna see
cause it's tickles everything inside of me

You're the moon
Inside this weary heart
Every night I watch you rise
As I set from the tiring day
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

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.
