Now
all I think about
is you
and
some hope,

Hope
that tomorrows
will have
different
colors
.
My eyes wander up to the dark sky
And like its second nature,
I think of you
I look into the stars, like I'm looking into the depths of your eyes
I get lost among the constellations,
Like I lose myself in your love
In this chaotic life of mine,
You are the North Star, guiding me home

Ben
I like sleeping in
Even if sleep may just be
Death’s lazy cousin
letting loose old chains
you and your wry laughter
defeated by the day old machines
of life and their constant clogging

time's hands tear into spring
nail first, peeling off the light constricting canopy
twisting barbwire off delicate skin
strangling you on a couch from hell

wake up to the smell of bourbon
and dead roses - so pretty
your lashes creating the shadows
on your gaunt cheekbones,
and your name is Soul
i struggle a ton with full length poems but thank you all for reading

edit: thank you, sexywiggle, for lighting this poem up

May
Kaibigan 'yan ang tingin mo sa akin,
Kailanman di mo ako kayang mahalin.
Di ko ninais
Boom panes
Sa samahan na nabuo natin, ako'y nabihag mo,
Subalit di mo naman sinabi na ito'y isang malaking laro.
Iniisip ng iba meron tayong relasyon,
Ang hindi nila alam ito'y isang ilusyon.
Umasa ako ng "tayo",
Ngunit ako'y nasaktan lamang,
Sapagka't ikaw ay may kasintahan.
Di kita masisisi kung iba ang iyong pinili,
Dahil maski ako di pipiliin ang sarili.
Sa mga sinabi mo, ako'y naniwala,
Kahit na may iba akong hinala.
Ganun pa man, ako'y nagtiwala;
ngunit ito'y iyong sinira.

Di ko alam kung saan magsisimula,
Dahil ang puso ko ay wasak na wasak na.
Akala ko iba ka,
Yun pala katulad ka lang nila.
Akala ko noon ikaw ay maginoo,
Yun pala ay isang loko loko.
Pinagmalaki kita dahil sa iyong mabuting puso,
Di inaasahan na ako ay maloloko.
Ako'y nanghihinayang,
Pero para sayo balewala lang.
Ganyan ka ba kamanhid,
Di mapansin na ako'y nasasamid,
Tuwing nakikita kayo sa paligid.
Masakit na makita kayong dalawa,
Pero wala na akong magagawa,
Dahil masaya ka na sa piling nya.

Gusto ko ilabas ang nararamdaman ko,
Pero ayokong makita mo na ako ay apektado.
Gusto ko magreklamo, gusto kita murahin,
Pero biglang napaisip, ito pala'y isang sariling katangahan.
Ang hirap magmahal ng isang kaibigan lalo na kung one sided love. Yung feeling na kahit kailan di nya mapapansin yung feelings mo for him, dahil para sa kanya, di kayo talo.
You
I am fascinated by all of you
Will I and you forever be true?
The way your lips melt onto mine
It tastes like you, so divine
Their shape and definition
This love our only ammunition
They fit so perfectly
For this long eternity
Put them on mine
And we will combine
I remember that one moment
Over me, you have the potent
It was between a look
Something that from me you took
And that one little kiss
Where the worlds will stop
My legs threatened to drop
For the briefest time
That pure and unstained prime
The only thing between us
The away time to discuss
It is the anticipation
It is the stimulation
A moment so intense
To find out what were up against
Then we finally realise
I have you for my paradise
And it is only just beginning
I love you.
I love your odd colored eyes,
I love your laugh
Your sense of humor
Your arrogance
Your smile.
I love you.
I love you personality,
Your quirks
Your bad habits.
I love so much about you.
I love you because you are just you.
I hate you because you broke my heart.
I hate you because I can't forget you.
I hate you because I'm afraid of a life without you.
To the boy who was my first love. I still love you.
A thousand lives you live,
but please don’t try to tame them.
With all the love you give
you might as well be an alien.

I won’t torch down your roots,
the nature of a wild thing.
With denim and with ***** boots
singing the blues and dancing to the swing.

A thousand tales you tell
about the stars and wicked moonshine.
But all I need to hear
is a tune that I can call mine.

I won’t slow down the beat
of this aching heart’s desire
as I wander across this world
and my soul is set on fire.
