i am an architect
though my hand has been guided many a time
i have etched my own path
into a tome of starlight
but it is a path i will walk alone sometimes
and that’s okay

i am a writer
though my heart has been swayed into submission many a time
i will continue to be
the main antagonist of my story
but i bleed ink from my fingertips and i will write my own chapter
and that’s okay

i am a warrior
though i’ve wielded my sword many a time
i have seen many wars
and fought many battles
but it’s still the small victories i celebrate most
and that’s okay

i am a dancer
though i’ve tripped over my two left feet many a time
i have broken many bones
and danced still with a smile
but my feet grow tired and i must rest sometimes
and that’s okay

i am an artist
though my hands have often been stained
my heart is my masterpiece
and i’ve put it at the forefront of my choices
but maybe it isn’t the kind to go in a museum
and that’s okay

i am damaged
i am battered
i am bruised
but i am trying
and i am healing
and that’s okay

One day,
I allowed myself to let go.
I was no longer a label.
I was no longer a dancer.
I was no longer beautiful.
I was no longer a poet.
I was no longer a woman.
I was no longer black.
I just was.

I am poet dance partner for thy eyes.
tickling with visions,
to launch your imagination or emotions.

I dance to the music of heart
with backdrop of rustling wind
so you may sway gracefully.

I share poetic words
collected and stored
in treasure chest of mind
exploding like fireworks.

When stars come out to play
I vibrate with song
to cavort delicately.  

Yes I am your poet dance partner,
moving to script upon page
for you to unwind after a long day.
inspired by Traveler  Thanks

He takes the brush
full of endless wonders
never runs out of
stories to ignite aflame.

Yet every day he seems
to fall into deep thought
in some other world
where beauty excists
inside a brittle crystal.

The brush, shattering it
to design carefully another
wondrous form of art.

Painter, draws the life
while the composer plays
music for the silky soul.

Poet, writes the lines
of eternal exsistence
while the dancer gives
heart for the movement
Of life.

Mayroon akong gustong ibahagi sainyo
Isinulat ko lamang ito para sa mga interesado
Meron na kasi akong napupusuang isang tao
Pero teka lang, atin-atin lamang to
Di ko alam kung paano sisimulan
Pero alam kong gustong-gusto nyo ng malaman
Kung sino nga ba ang aking naiibigan
Kaya't heto na, inyo ng matutuklasan

Sya'y isang mananayaw
Napaka astig ng kanyang mga galaw
At talagang siya'y mahusay
Habang pinapanood ang kanyang pagganap, ako'y napapa WAW!
Ako'y lalo pang humanga
Nung nalaman kong sya'y manlalaro din pala
Pero hindi ng feelings ah!
Yung larong ang gamit ay shuttlecock at raketa

Marami-rami na din akong alam tungkol sa kanya
Syempre! Lagi akong updated sa kwento ng buhay nya
Ayokong nahuhuli sa balita, hindi naman sa pagiging chismosa
Kase baka mamaya di natin alam may jowa na pala, edi nganga!

Natutuwa lang ako dahil close na kami ngayon
Di ko akalain na magkakaganon
Kasi dati pinapangarap ko lang yon
Masaya na din, pero di na ako naghahangad ng higit pa roon

Marami na pala syang naka fling
Kaya ako naman noon, umaasa at nag fi-feeling
Nagbabaka sakaling mapapansin nya rin
Ang ganda kong walang kadating-dating
Lungkot lang dahil di nya pansin
Na ako sa kanya'y may pagtingin
Hindi ko alam kung kailangan pa bang aminin
O kaya'y akin na lamang ililihim
Pagkat tungkol dyan ay di ko kayang tapatin
Martir na kung martir, tatahimik na lamang at titiisin

Pero maiba tayo
Sa mga oras na to,
Di ko alam kung lalabas pa ba ako ng kwarto
O magkukulong na lang dito
At saka bubuksan ang pinto pag wala ng tao
Malamang nabasa na to ng mga magulang ko
Kaya't ihahanda ko na ang sarili ko
Pagkat mamaya pag nakita nila ako,
Sasalo ako ng gabot, hampas, palo
Hanggang dito na lang,
Damay-damay na to!
Iniaalay para kay Kuyang mananayaw
