my infinite moment with you

become echos
and tribute

There is art
In your heart
Painting pictures
When I lay
My head down on your chest

There are songs in your eyes
Singing lullabies
When you hover
Pin me down
With your stare

There is a poem
On the tip
Of your tongue
I taste it
When I kiss you

You are tortured
Stereotyped
My jaded lover
I hear it
When you won't talk

Nagmamasid siya't dinudungaw ang Gabi
Kung may pahiwatig ba't titikom na ang bibig
Ang Mambubuwal ng matabang na tubig.

Nakakasilaw at nakakagulat
Ang sining ng di kontroladong pagkuha ng larawan,
Ang paglilok sa palapag ng nagtatalsikang bato,
Tangay pati ang ayaw magpapitas na mga bulaklak.

Tanging siya na lamang ang may kislap
Pagkat kalahi niya'y kumupas nang sila'y mang-iwan.
At sa pagpagaspas ng pakpak na may lihim,
Tangan nya ang sariling may liwanag sa dilim.

How can emptiness be so heavy?

Sometimes
when I’m talking to someone
I ask them if they like
music
They say yes, and maybe
name a few artists
Then I ask them
if they like
poetry
and they say
not really
never got into it
And I silently laugh to myself
yet break a little, too

I love him
I tell myself
I know that
We will be together forever
I don’t believe that
We could be separated
My thoughts tell me that
He’s the love of my life
Sometimes my heart lies and says
I could live an eternity
Without him
Like my friends say
“We’re perfect for each other”
And you can’t tell me
He’s not the one.
