Regine Santos: Poems

A vice

Regine Santos Jan 2016

A vice

Place it between your lips.
Light that fire.
Take a hit.
Orange glow.
Now, blow!
See that smoke as it come and go.

Feeling

Regine Santos Sep 2014

Feeling

What is this feeling?
It feels like I'm floating
but it's not the good kind.
Am I out of my mind?

There is a hole somewhere inside
that I try to cover up and hide
I want to keep it a secret
for it might make me regret.

What is this feeling?
Should I keep hiding?
I feel empty
Is it just me?

Left me hanging

Regine Santos Oct 2014

Left me hanging

Meeting.
You washed your hands.
Left me hanging.

I thought you were gonna be my guide
The one to save me when I fall
But you left me hanging.

I have to save myself
You have saved yourself way too early
And you left me hanging.

Opinions and decisions

Regine Santos Oct 2014

Opinions and decisions

I have a suggestion
I share my opinion
You give me an indifferent reaction
I thought it was an affirmation

I was beaming
For you got me believing
That my voice was worth hearing
But you were just lying

I wish you'll tell me outright
If I am wrong or right
So we would not get into this fight
That last 'til the morning light

I am sorry
I just could not see
Maybe we could agree to disagree
And I'll let you be

Puzzle

Regine Santos Dec 2015

Puzzle

What is it?
Why do you stutter every time you meet?
People around you suffer
Because of those feelings you cannot utter

Set yourself free
Untangle the blindfolds so you can see
Don't be blinded by the dazzle
Please figure out your own puzzle

Sanctuary

Regine Santos Oct 2014

Sanctuary

Late for work.
That annoying person.
Errands, here and there.
Chaos.

Temperance.

Pressure...more pressure.
My head is spinning
Deadlines and challenges.
I want to give up.

I step outside to run from it all.
I am still seething with anger.

Silence.

Then I see your face.
Your hand in mine.
And everything just fade into the dark.

My sanctuary.

Uninvited Guest

Regine Santos Oct 2014

Uninvited Guest

I've tried to put up with you
But you always seem to pursue
You have a different kind of thing
It has become annoying

I want to understand
It's your disrespect, I can't stand
Please just stay away
And don't push your way

Leave us alone now
Your intrusion is something I can't allow
Stop the desperate pleas
I'm asking you, please.

Wake me from slumber

Regine Santos Jul 2015

Wake me from slumber

Wake me from my slumber
Day by day I become number
I don't know what to feel
I am losing my will

I find it hard to carry on
My heart has turned into stone
I try my best to revive
I hope our love will survive

Wake me from my sleep
I don't wanna go deep
I must get out from this sadness
So we can get through the coldness
