a saccharine melody fills me in
the weight of your gaze
dripping with sin
like a broken violin

Pythagoras taught that reality was
but one among an infinite number

now u've got the quantum multiverse;
& Pythagoras thought of it first,   saying
all it amounted to was a line leading to
& through a point, like a thread through
a needle;             & so the Universe was
stitched together like a multi-directional
dream catcher; excluding no area
in space &  miracles taking place
                                       when the strings
       are manipulated according to preset
               patterns or improvised designs;

what else did the ancient ancients
do that make ur high-tech gadgets
look like the simple-minded toys
that they in truth are; the ancients  
told time by the movement of the
sun & shadows & communicated
w/ unseen higher spirits, conferred
w/ still higher spirits,   higher than
those both above & below;  spirits
taking the form of sacred prostitutes
& poets, geniuses every one of them

The steam yields as so
I slurp and gurgle my tea
Oh, jasmine blossom!

if you are the ocean
then I am the mist
that kisses the morning
the way I’d want
to be kissed

if you are the ocean
then anchors aweigh
we'll sail through the evening
and on to the light
the daystar is dawning
we'll keep to the right

like Peter and Wendy
to Neverlands' door
we'll sail on forever
and touch every shore

if you are the ocean,
come wash me away
to some misty morning
and there we will play

if you are the ocean,
then sing me a song
of sailors and treasures
and places long gone

if you are the ocean
come wash me away
to a place, together we’ll
forever stay...

Limutin na ang mundo
Forget the world
And its intricacies
Your abusive father
Your good-for-nothing frenemies
Let go of the earth
Reach for the uncertainties


Nang magkasama tayo
I'll be here holding your hand
Reading your fears
In the lines of your palm
While feeling your taken risks
In the spirals of your fingertips


Sunod sa bawat galaw
Let me take the lead
Follow my steps
As we waltz off
From our consciousness
to the chains of the world


Hindi na maliligaw
We'll never be lost
When all miseries will be unknown
Or at least, we'll be lost
In all that is ours


Mundo'y magiging ikaw
*You will be my world
And I hope I'll be yours too
A poem based from the lyrncs of "Mundo" by IV Of Spades. They're a great indie OPM band, if you're not familiar. Check them out!
