The cloud is crumbling,
Rainy day ahead,
The air is soaked
The flavour of heavy soil.

New life is born
In the depths of the merciful Earth
We are all Her sons and daughters.
Just like the raindrops
He appeared in my life out of nowhere

Befriended me with his charming voice

Calling out my name, in the pouring rain
Lending me his umbrella, not to get soaked

At that same moment,
The tips of his hands touching against mine
A pair of long and slender hands
Wet, soft, and yet beautiful

We become closer and closer as days flies
Without knowing how the story would end

His laughter is the best thing
I ever had in my whole life

Like a smile representing a full moon
Guiding me towards the light
In the alley of darkness

Enjoying the best of my life with him
I took everything for granted
His kindness, his love, and his heart

Then one day he disappeared
Without saying goodbyes
Without letting me know where

My world becomes collapsed
Broken and shattered —
Crying every night and day
Praying that he would come back

Days without him were like a living hell ~

Seasons have changed
Years have passed
Without knowing where he is about

Till one day
Learnt the truth that
He was terminally suffering from an illness

Oh he should have told me
He should have told me

That he was struggling
From the very beginning

He knew from the start
That he had to leave me one day
Whether he wants to or not

Our time together was brief
Yet Our moments together
Were precious beside the scar he gave me

Sometimes I despise him
For he is the one who approached me first
Fell for me first and left me first
With a hole in my heart

He was my first to everything ~ ~

First to befriend with me
First to teach me how to love
First to shower me with love

I've come to hate rainy days ~ ~

Every time the rain falls
Recalling our first encounter
My heart aches and my soul hurts
Teardrops fell through my eyes

Oh How would I know
How would I know

He would also leave me, left me

Like the sudden raindrops
Just like the sudden raindrops

Well, in the weight of it,
All these thoughts that bury a spark
Creativity suffocates in the absence of light
Where these clawing arms reach from the floorboards
To pull me under tenebrous silhouettes -
Ripping my skin to the **** of my soul
Poking their rods to extinguish my all,
I am famished from the hunger for a muse in the music
I am thirsty for a tide of color -
Oppressed by the terrorist of harmony,
A prisoner of war in my melancholy.

Mentally expecting the worst
Everything that could go wrong will
But what if it doesn’t?
Still, my list of to-dos gets longer
Running from my problems so I don’t have to deal with it
If my phone rings, I don’t answer
I prefer to keep my distance
Wishing I could disappear
Or that I didn’t exist
Maybe it’s time I get some rest
Can’t enjoy the moments
It’s always what’s next?
My income is tentative,
My money comes with the snow,
I thought I was getting paid,
But the rain stole my job.
I shovel for my neighbor and each time it snows I get ten bucks. It snowed last night but the rain this morning melted it away.

Alam kong umpisa na ng tag-init dyan.
O baka lingid sa kaalaman ko'y
sa susunod na linggo pa o kalaunan.
Ngunit kung paano ang tag-init dyan
o gaano kainit ay hindi ko alam.
Paano ang tag-init dyan sa inyo?
Gaano ka-init ang mainit dyan sa bahay mo?
Sana'y naaarawan ka ng sapat at tama,
sana'y palaging malusog ka at masaya.

Alam mo bang tag-ulan na rito ng Hunyo?
O maaaring para sayo ay patak pa lang,
o marahil mga mumunting tulo.
Ngunit kung gaano kaginaw
o paano ang tag-ulan ay hindi mo alam.
Gaano kaginaw, gaya ba ng taas ng baha?
Paano ang patak ng ulan, tulad ba ng luha?
Sana'y bagyuhin at tangayin ang mga mali,
sana'y mawala na ang alaalang gipit.

Alam kong tag-init na pag Hunyo sa inyo.
Ngunit alam mo ba talaga kung gaano ka-init
kung ikaw sana'y narito sa silid ko?
Alam mo ba ang tunay na tag-init,
gayong di mo pa nararanasan sa bisig ko?
Hindi mo malalaman kung gaano kainit ang mainit
hangga't ika'y wala sa tabi ko.
Ang tunay na tag-init ay nasa aking piling.

Alam mo nang tag-ulan na rito ng Hunyo.
Ngunit kung malalaman mo nga kung gaano kaginaw,
tulad siguro ng paghagkan sa bloke ng yelo.
Alam mo ba ang tunay na tag-ulan,
tila mga patak ng luha kung mawawala ako.
Malalaman mo kung gaano kaginaw ang maginaw
kung mawawala ako sa buhay mo.
Ang tunay na tag-ulan ay ang aking kawalan.
The differences of human emotions in the budding of a brand new but delicate love, with the metaphor of the month of June. As with the differences in the seasons in the west where it's the onset of summer now, and in the east where the rainy season have started, this poem explores how in the beginning of a new romance, sometimes emotions of two people can get hot or cold or too slow or too fast, just like the abrupt or mellow changing of the weather and seasons. Just like human emotions.

The milk coffee skies of Paris in May,
make the Seine river look insanely gray.

At sunrise it’s quiet -
the traffic’s mostly bikes
our digs are luxurious and private
my school stress is waning - it’s nice

I want to get up sigh
I don’t want to get up,
We’ll vote on it later -
I think it’s a tossup.

What will today bring?
More thunderstorms and kisses?
grin I hope so.

I pull the covers up.
Peter stretches and asks,
“what are you doing?”

I chuckle, and say,
“Come and find me,”
when he does,
Paris is fun in May

a fresh start
a day to wander
spring rain
Tsuyu- rainy season
At least these drops of water are falling all around me,
Instead of from me.

It is a rainy day
I walk
It washes away my fear,
I feel I am letting go.
It is a rainy day
I feel my worries
Wash away from my face,
My wrinkles are being erased.
It is a rainy day
I know
Healing takes time,
But time heals the deepest wounds.
It is a rainy day,
It is dark
But I feel a spark of light
In my heart.
It is a rainy day
And I know
How hard it has been to let go.
Now I heal
As the rain washes my wounds away.
I heal as the rain pours down on me.
