Because hasn’t every new song already been sung?
Because there are no new thoughts under the sun
Because every other freckle since birth has come from the light of the same sun
Because the sun on my face today,
Is the sun that poisoned my skin twelve summers ago—
Is the sun that birthed the roots of the Oaks that taught me about pain—
Is the sun that blinded Icarus—
Is the sun that lit up Genesis—
Is the sun that makes me squint my eyes
And open up wide all at once
The sun that will mull the bones of humanity into an earthen wine  
And swallow us up
Is the sun that raised me
And I think my dreams
Are the only parts of me that are mine
Because every waking thought I have is solar-powered,
Cosmically fueled and eternal my eclipsed
Because it’s only after the sun goes down
When the body is at rest and the darkness comes
That my own light can shine,
And my truth illuminates the night.
a high mood                                          
could skip along like a child
a practical joke      i give a sharp pull
         on the strings of Everything
jape's on me                                          
         as i am tugged from off of my feet
           and tumbled on the ground
         laughing any-which-way

the day sky   fills with lenses          
                    enough to displace the stars
but there too much for them to see
efforts made mockable
the pattern baffling the pattern
with misunderstood importance

release      and i enjoy the sun
                 for being the sun
from  04/23 ?

We met in coincidences—
Once in angst staring at the moon
Twice in silence glaring at the sun
Thrice under colored skies pretending not to watch.

Each time,
the universe held its breath.
Each time,
we let go too soon.

There were years between our names.
Other hands. Other homes.
Hearts that tried to forget
what never really left.

But I’ve learned—
what isn’t meant for you
will fight to leave.
And what is
will find its way back,
no map,
no warning,
just a pull.

So even if we part again,
even if time forgets our faces—
I’ll know:

'You are the return.
You are the thing that stays.
'
Indefinitely

On dreary days
When the sky is grey
And the light is white
My state of mind
Is mine to choose.
To wallow or to waver
Or to cherish and to savour.

But on days when warmth
Seeps into my skin
And I’m pleasantly glowing;
With tiredness seeping out
I can only be at peace.
Smoothly blossoming
Images you dreamt about
Now discover new meaning
Delving into symbols
Within the recesses
Chariots towering cathedrals
Spiralling atop the citadel
For colossal mountains
To emerge out the slumbers
Which had captivated
Drifting into languor
Feasting upon grandeur
Eating away at your desires
Required a wake up call
Dreaming and forgetting
Remembering then neglecting
Embracing because important
The flowers which had inspired
Had budded couched requirements
To brave the fallow time
As the land prepares for summer
When the gardeners rejoice
Having kept calmly entwined
With the overgrown and rotting
For something magnificent

I wonder if trees feel pain when the red buds sprout green,
As leaves struggle to break free and emerge,
Flowing resplendently—
With a radiant verdant glow as the sun shines down.
A genuine thought I had pre-coffee and sneezing my head off.

I want to breathe in the field,
Where the wind is warm,
And drink the air deeply.
It’ll be so awesome!

I want to lie in the grass,
Give up to the sun bliss,
And fall subtly asleep
In the shade of trees like in a kiss.

I want to inbreathe more deeply
The honey odour of flowers.
I want to hug the air
And be in there for hours.

I want to make it true!
I need it for being alive!
I'll hug the air! I’ll kiss the sun
And maybe I will revive!

You straighten my weakness inside.
You color the empty heart.

Your face is my hopes that I can start working again.
Your eyes is my dreams that I started to plan again.

My smiling rose
My spring, my joy, my sun
My river of wine, my heaven
My life, my being, my world
My sun of beauties
My friend, my secret, my jewel
My musk, my amber, my treasure, my love, my shining moon

You don't know how you changed my sad and dark heart into the world of happy and gave life and light.

You opened my heart and I let you in
You don't know how joy I am to see your eyes and your face
You don't know how you brightened my darkness

You woke up my sleeping heart
because of you I don't want to wake up again
if I lose you too I want to go back to sleep

You entered my dark and sick heart
in my feelings it seems like you are a sun
that is blazing with light
and I feel good to feel the warmth of your love
But if you are gone
it seems like everything has disappeared
like a storm
everything is destroyed
by the whip of feelings that
If love is too much it can separate us

Too much love is almost sacrifice my life.
I loved you so much that I would die loving you so much.

It would be better for me to die than to lose you
But to sacrifice my tears and sadness without you than to hurt you so much
Caused I can't be with you.

I love you but I choose to live.

How long will I wait
When will I see your eyes and smiles again
When will I see your light again

The light you brought to my life I will never see in anyone else because it is only from you
that I inherited this light in my mind and heart.

It’s happy today because your light is there
but tomorrow you'll leave me again
I'll cry again in the dark
I don't want to cry anymore
I'm tired of being sad
How can I be happy without you
You are the light and my sun.

"𝔸𝕟𝕘 𝔸𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝔸𝕣𝕒𝕨"

Itinutuwid mo ang aking kahinaan sa loob.
Kinulayan mo ang walang laman na puso.

Ang iyong mukha ang aking pag-asa na muli kong inspirasyon
Natagpuan ko sa iyong mga mata ang aking mga pangarap na muli kong sinimulan na mag Plano.

Ikaw ang nakangiti kong rosas
Ang Aking tagsibol,
aking kagalakan,
Ang aking araw
Ang Aking ilog ng alak,
aking langit
Ang aking buhay,
ang aking pagkamulat,
ang aking mundo
Ang aking araw ng mga kagandahan,
Ikaw ang kaibigan ko
Ang sikreto ko,
Ang hiyas ko
Ang mukha ng kinang ko
Ang kayamanan ko,
Ang mahal ko,
Ang bituin ng buwan sa lahat ng dilim

Hindi mo alam kung pano mo pinaligaya ang puso ko at binigyan ng buhay at liwanag ang malungkot at madilim kong mundo.

Binuksan mo ang puso ko
nagpapasok ako
Hindi mo alam kung gano ako kasaya ng makita ang mga mata mo
Ang image mo ang aking inspiration
Hindi mo alam kung pano mo niliwanagan ang aking kadiliman

Ginising mo ang natutulog kong puso
dahil sayo ayaw ko ng magising pa

kung mawawala ka rin pala sa akin gusto ko nalang bumalik ulit sa pag kakatulog

Pinasok mo ang madilim at may sakit kong puso
sa aking damdamin tila isa kang araw na nagliliyab sa liwanag
Ang sarap damhin ang init ng iyong pagmamahal
Ngunit kung mawawala ka
parang naglaho ang lahat
na tila ba naging isang bagyo ang lahat
nasira sa hagupit ng damdamin
na sobra kung magmahal na makakapag hiwalay sa atin

Sobra kung magmahal na halos ialay ang aking buhay.
Sobra kitang minahal na ikakamamatay ko ng labis na pag ibig ko sayo.

Mas mabuti pang mamatay kaysa mawala ka
nag sasakripisyo ako sa aking mga luha at lungkot na wala ka kaysa ang masaktan kita ng labis dahil hindi kita makasama.

Mahal kita pero pipiliin ko rin ang sarili.

Hanggang kailan ako maghihintay
Kailan ko ulit masisilayan ang iyong mga mata at mga ngiti
Kailan ko ba ulit makikita ang iyong liwanag
Ang liwanag na dala mo sa buhay ko hindi ko na makikita pa sa iba
dahil sayo lang ito namanang liwanag sa isip at puso ko.

Masaya nga ngayon dahil nanjan ang liwanag mo
pero bukas lilisanin mo na ulit ako
Paluluhain nanaman ako sa dilim
Ayaw ko ng umiyak
Napapagod na ako maging malungkot
Pano ba maging masaya na wala ka
Ikaw ang liwanag at ang aking araw.

Those who are born in night,
Fear the sun.
Those who are born in light,
Fear the sin.
Though, I fear them both,
For I was born amongst the twilight.
A mix of two opposites

tawny leaf-littered
autumn's cold chill
amber sun, filtered
one tree, one hill

smoky-water rains
water scented earth
heart-loss pains
worms unearth'd

bristled seeds drift
sunset winds, rest
fluff and dust admidst
a heaving chest

sun-warmth falter
cloud coats gold
body upon an altar
everything turns cold
