Sally, the wordsmith, Poet essayist
You’re the childhood road runner
Divine word receiver
Can I take your hand?
Let’s go for a dance.
I’ll carry your luggage, Towards the parking lot
You’re sober, romantic, Unapologetic.
Can I take your bags?
Let’s go for a trek?
Sharing is caring, But except for you Sally.
You’re demanding, free spirited
A flower in restraint
Never a cold day, warming sun giggles
Don’t you hurry, your childhood
Seven Year’s too short.
Don’t you get upset,
Until my eyes are wet.
Well everything’s just a glitch in my head
Time traveling’s a future scope.
You and him’s a proof of concept.

If I could only take
The pill to reverse,
To take back time
And prevent the hearse

A currency to spend
A time I choose to alter,
A flower to pick
Among millions to cater.

I would choose you,
Beautiful charmer;
Dream chaser
Please recruit me

To your surreal
Lifeline approach and justice,
To kiss and hold you
Flowers and berries

A connection
I ought not to dwell in
Voice I thought
was music I never cherished

If I could only
Replay the process
Of building this puzzle
I could never think best

I could choose you
Maybe I could lure,
Maybe sometime,
Sometime near future.

I could love you
Take care of you;
If only I could alter
The clothing of time

And sequences,
And events;
I would love to choose you,
Definitely

If you could care
To alter yours,
Even in an alternate universe,
- you would choose me too.
Merry Christmas

Dumaan saglit sa bilihan ng damit
Kahit sakto ang dala ay aking pinilit
Pagkat pawis ay malala dahil mainit
Sa pagkikitang ito lahat ay sulit.

Sa harap ng salamin maiging sinipat
Kung okay ang buhok at marapat
Konting talsik ng pabango sa kwelyo
Hindi muna ko maninigarilyo.

Upang ako'y perpekto sa pagdating
Lahat ay maayos sa iyong paningin,
hinahanap hanap ang 'yong awitin
Ng boses **** maliit ako'y bitin.

Nagmamadali at baka mahuli
Ayokong maghintay ka aking binibini
Kahit hasel sa lahat basta dumating
Sinira ang ipon para may pang sine.

Kamusta ka na? Kumain ka na ba?
Unti unting pinaplano ang sasabihin.
Sa paglalakad ako'y napapaisip
Ano ang uunahin, saan papupuntahin

Sa di kalayuan aking nakita
Maamo at maaliwalas **** mukha
Sabay nagising sa katotohanan
Sa noo ko ay biglang pinawisan.

Nang biglang nauntog sa totoo
Na ito ay panaginip lamang
Hawak ang lakas ng loob
Napalunok at parang..

Nabilaukan sa pagkakita
Sa kamay **** may humawak
Sa di bandang kalayuan
Pumatak ang luha ng uwak

At sabay bati ng kamusta
Habang hagkan ka at yapos
Ako ay kinakain ng sistema
Ng matinding pagseselos

At binalewala ang pagpapakilala
Sa kasama mo'y ikaw'y hinayaan
Sigaw ng puso'y nagaklas
Batid na "Dapat ako ang nandiyan".

A man's ego is a thick wall
Covering his vulnerable soul,
Protects him from shivering
From the outside cold.

It is his coach, and his captain
As well as his life's  good coach,
Protecting the his exteriors
From his fragility he never boasts.

As soft as the clouds wandering
Through the dust of the city life,
Same as the careful veins
Embedded in a womans' soft heart.

Snugged in his vicious tongue
With every word in his gauntlet
Warming his soul away
From any dark and cold blankets.

Like diamonds you try to dismantle
And see him break at once,
As he snaps to put the pieces back
But the cracks can't be undone.

Worked hard for the money
But I ain't digging no dough,
I planted precious seeds
With my bare hand plough.

A scattered debris lost in wilderness,
Like a shipwreck in an open breeze.
You only remember my face
When you've consumed your cheese.

This credo is much draining
And understanding is lost page,
You only have your struggles in stories
And you don't cared on my fate.

having true to words and promises
Is a long lost line in your books
I am oppressing the evil
Ideas of the modern day crooks.

It's been a long and lonely daylight.
There was nothing but the sun
Then you came and lit my sadness apart
With your bubbly smile.

Darling you don't have to tell me,
Just a signal and it's done.
I don't really know the reason you exist,
But tell me it's worth your while.

But tell me it's worth your while.
I never really know
if we can get a conversation
but every bit of you makes me high

It's been a long and fruitful friendship
I'm heading north, you're going east.
But you know that I will never forget,
that our times have got you high.

I dwell in the places,
Where I feel your presence.
the pages you've written
is still etched in transcendence.

Seeking for your aura
my ways are your equivalent.
bounds and gates are raised
despite of our perfect blend.

The way you stared into my soul
sweeps away the dark clouds in heaven.
I badly want to know you more
time spent with you is what I am needing.

Despite of the dark clouds forming
your hands waved them all apart,
I am screaming from the inside waiting
for our time to shine and leave our mark.

And I just told my own self
That I never get tired writing about you,
Despite of the distance and cold air
You are still the one I'm coming back to.

Even 'though there is nothing I would get
I am still seeking for your light
and deceive my self that I am still in this,
waiting to see our time take its bite.

Your punches slipping into my shoulders
bold and emotions filled, ******,
as I am craving for your soul
longing for your honesty
that smile you give me
fuels my compassion
Oh, good sight of art.
a shimmering light,
now I'm in a flight.
your fair warmth,
I need, tonight.

Of all the failed attempts
Of reaching you from a far
I am still keeping your words
Your visions still kept in a jar.

As I swept my dust off
My heavy and pained shoulders.
Still your soul fuels me within,
To continue seeking your wonder.

To stand still in this journey
Looking up to your vague light
As I wish for ray of answers,
From nowhere out of sight.

Believe in your self, young gun,
you are built to survive.
You have the skills to get through
the guts to take the dive.

Questions have been present,
from day one 'them thrown.
your mind is your arsenal,
and body is the dome.

Trust your instincts my friend
though history is a dark world,
fluxes you can seek
Fear is for the weak.

You are a warrior of your own
Never surrender your faith.
Enemies are just lurking
Blend, sublimate.

Time heals and build,
sharpens your knife;
Fill your cup of wisdom
as tomorrow ticks another life.

As bullets have been dodged,
as you heal your worst wounds,
come you shy sunrise
and let thy fruits bloom.
