Ginku-kugos ko an ulunan nga imo gin gamit.
Samtang an mahagkot nga hangin naharumhom ha akon panit.
Nag-hihinulat ha imo pag-balik, bisan san-o, bisan diin.
Gin-gapos ha tuna han mga hinumduman nga nagpa-bilin.

Gin-tuman ko an aton saad ha ilarom han kahoy
Nga mag-huhulat ako bisan an kalibutan magubot ngan magmasamok.
Iilubon an kamingaw nga ha dughan nag-aawit
Aantuson an duro nga  kasubo ngan kapait.

Ngan umabot gihap an takna nga ak' ginpamulat
An im' pag-balik ha akon kasingkasing nag-aghat
Napuno'n kalipay, pag-laum sugad hin balagun nga kumanap.
Saksi an langit, unta dire la patahap.

Ngan yana kay aanhi ka na man
Pipiriton ko pag-huring an imo ngaran
Pamad-a na an luha ha im' mata, sipat la ha ak' bayhon.
Samtang hangkop mo an ladawan ha bawbaw han akon lungon.

English Translation:

I held the pillow you once knew,
As the cold wind whispered, piercing through.
Awaiting your return, come when, come where,
Bound to this earth by memories we share.
Beneath the tree, our promise I kept true,
To wait though chaos brewed, and worlds turned new.
To bear the longing, singing in my breast,
Endure the sorrow, bitter and unblessed.
And then the moment, long yearned for, came to be,
Your presence stirring hope within my heart, you see.
Joy overflowed, like vines that gently creep,
Heaven as witness, may this promise deeply keep.
And now that you are finally here,
Your name, I'll try to whisper near.
Dry now the tears that dim your sight, and gaze upon my face,
While you embrace the image on my coffin's final resting place.

Forty, I still have hope
The glands in my ******* engorge
the desire, with big eyes

I bounce between decency
and groping, tripping
over crooked paving stones

spying for an opportunity
Where is my husband now
that I need him

to go for me?
Doesn't he smell my need?
I pull up a leg

my wrap skirt falls open
Half-hidden my butterfly
the promise of my powder puff
Farfalla = butterfly, *****

Her powder puff: Il suo piumino da cipria, from the story "La signora Speranza" - I ("Mrs. Hope", 1903, Luigi Pirandello)

In the echoes of love untold,
The very heart I kept her hold,
Burned and ripped apart, my soul,
I shall sit and request my tears to fold.

She's not coming back, I know, I do,
I choose waiting, that's surely true,
The love I once had, so divine,
Oh, I'm dying to call her, "MINE".
Still waiting… even when I know she won’t return.

In nice clothes I wait

and await, it takes so long --


before you touch me.

In the tomorrows yet unseen,
My love for her, a constant stream.
One day she'll see, one day she'll know,
The depth of love I couldn't show.
Just a quiet hope… that one day, she’ll know.

i don't miss her per se
not really-
not the way she stirred her coffee counter-clockwise
or how she spoke my name
ever so softly
like a secret
no one else could hold

i miss the feeling
of her-
that imagined life
woven in between shared glances
and almosts
the home i built
in her soft
gummy smile
before i saw the cracks

i miss what never even happened
the parallel version of us
the ones who stayed.
is that still missing her?
or just missing
being wanted
by someone
who never really could?

my ache has no address
no home
yet it answers
to her name
every time
like it's all i know
like she's all i know
hiraeth, a deep longing for something, especially ones home.

It is getting dark, we walk
away from the couples, who, just like us
have not seen the sun go down

The picnic baskets are empty
You pack up the peels and I
pretend to look past you and you

pretend I don't attract
your attention, knowing that
our skin is glowing for more
You are smoothly sculpted
like a Greek god

I brush through your hair
The sea moans under the rocks
Our room is still far away

but I can imagine you
hanging out nicely, kneadable
in the grip of my hand

The heat pressed down on my skin like your hands once did—
slow, steady, unforgettable.

My mouth was dry, my body aching—
but it wasn’t water I needed.
It was you.

The Strip pulsed around us—
neon lights flashing, voices rising,
solicitors reaching from every side.

But the moment your fingers found mine,
the chaos faded.
You made me feel safe in a place built to make people forget.

The feathered girls brushed past like temptation,
the phony cops played their parts with easy charm.
They moved through the crowd like they owned it—
but none of them saw me.

Not like you did.
Not with that quiet intensity,
not with the calm in your touch
that steadied everything inside me.

You held me close like the night belonged to us.
Your eyes found mine
like you already knew how the rest of it would go—
how the Strip would disappear,
how the only lights that mattered
would be the ones reflecting off your skin.

Even before you touched me,
my body was already aching for you.

But it wasn’t just want.
It was the way you looked at me
like I was seen.
Known.
Wanted in every way.

A man slept in the gutter like the city had swallowed him whole.
A woman begged, her eyes rehearsed.
A barefoot soul wandered through the noise,
forgotten.

Everything around us was dressed in false light—
but you,
you were the truth beneath it all.

And when we were finally alone,
you didn’t just undress me—
you unraveled me.

Soft at first,
then with the kind of hunger
that left me breathless.

You touched me like I was something sacred,
like you knew every part of me
deserved to be remembered.

I think about that night more than I should.
How you whispered things
that still echo in places I keep hidden.

How your mouth moved like prayer across my skin.
How you made me forget
every version of myself that came before.

People talk about Vegas
like it’s unforgettable—
but nothing there ever touched me
like you did.

And sometimes,
when the world feels too loud again,
I close my eyes
and return to that night—

not to the Strip,
but to you.

She dreams
of what never was.

No man
can match the shape
she carved in absence.

So she stays
half-settled,
half-burning…

Hurting the one who stayed
for not being
the one
who never came.
Longing, when shaped by fantasy, often becomes a quiet weapon turned inward or toward whoever remains.

My prettiest words,
my sincerest thoughts,
the deepest parts of my heart—
you had them all.

I had eyes only for you.
Now I’m blind.

I don’t know where I’m going,
but I know where I’ve been.
I touched your heart
for just a moment—
and I could breathe.

Now I’m blind,
hooked to a breathing machine.
this came out in one go.
some loves feel like breath —
until you forget how to breathe without them.
