a drowning depth of your
cobalt coloured eyes. I stand
stumped.
an abyssopelagic. lost in a delusion,
where we promise to
meet in our frayed, paper-thin clouded
dreams.
the moon-glade, bouncing off your
translucent pale skin, I watch
the reflections of the weeds withering.
your eyes, containing the ineffable
oceans. a shade of
verdigris. a blueish, green colour.
holding sparks of doom.
incandescence filled despair. how can
shadowy sadness be sparkly?
you laugh. and it reminds me of the
sounds the waves make, to each other,
before they lash onto my toes
on a windy twilight.
a hold on a fiery disposition. yet,
a conceding decision. to tie my
dancing, paint tinted fingers, to remain
your caged bird of possession;
a sigh escapes my lips. stuck in an endless loophole,
a luminous filled deception.

Only few experienced that smile
Which hides hurted patches for a while
Everyday crying deep inside the attic
Wishing it would stop
Wanted to be the voice of my scared crowd
But was afraid of that dark proud
Last thing stuck in my brian
Was tracing my pain
The darkest hour seems to be creepy
And the wound was thirsty deeply
There was no reason to worry
But that hint was wrong
Haunted vision was only reflecting
By the path of midnight song.
Once survive from the darkest hour and then everything around seems to be happy

White with lines
Tap tap tap
In and out in and out, breathing,
Crack pick up another,
Tap tap tap
Start Begin Go!
write my soul
write my agony
write my joy
Write my mind
Tap tap tap ...

Hindi kalayuan ang mga bituin
Kung ito’y sagad na susumahin
Di hamak na mas mahirap marating
Ang pusong hinding hindi mo ma-angkin

Hindi kalayuan ang pangarap
Kung ito’y sakdal nasang makaharap
Di hamak na mas malayo ang agwat
Ng dalawang pusong di magka sabwat

Pangarap kong maisulat kita sa aking mga tula
Pangarap ko ring maisulat mo ako sa iyong mga akda
Sana’y sing dali tayong maglapit at maglapat
Na tulad ng mga papel at kanyang panulat.

My flesh and my thoughts
meet in the mirror.
They argue right in front of me.
Like resentful parents
picking their stories apart
as if I’m not there
waiting for a happy ending.
I am invisible.
The cursing doesn’t stop.
It only gets louder
when they come to an agreement
that this home,
the skin I walk into every day
and the mind that used to wander
with her head up
is too broken for anyone to love.
This poem is about my first toxic relationship: body image. It's terribly sad to think about how our bad experiences as teenagers leave a lasting impression because our minds, bodies, and souls are so fragile around that time. I wish I was taught how to love myself no matter who hurt me or made me feel like I wasn't enough. If I ever have children, it's definitely what I'm teaching them.

After
the first time
we danced,
I could never get our song
out of my head.
You said,

"we must’ve waltzed into each other in another life",

as we fell hard
once again.

Y'all could c me on Facebook
writin' songs & poems
Watchin' my kids' lives
In i-so-la-tion

And chances were
He's flirtin' w/ some new "her"
Cause he wasn't gonna pay no mind
Well it wasn't n e one's place
But they went and said it n e way
Cause I looked like
I'd had 'nuff of his fire
Hadn't any fun
Hadn't made a smile n a long while
Baby

Red makes a good sunset
Looks good on that shirt that hugs my figure
But didn't look good on my face
I'm tellin' u
I don't need drama
It's so simple see
He's stealin' my kids, 3
Baby, red ain't my color

U weren't tryna' b another man
Hit on me kinda guy
Tryna pick me up
Tryna flirt with me
But u just didn't understand
How another man
Can take my sons
Turn them against me

Well u didn't even drink
And u're thinkin'
that I was beau-ti-ful
Tell me that if we were together u wouldn't change
Me
Just make me happy
Baby

Cause red makes a good sunset
Looks good on that shirt that hugs my figure
But didn't look good on my face
You're tellin' me
I didn't need drama
It's so simple see
He's stealin' my kids, 3
Baby, red ain't my color
No no no
Red ain't my color baby
Red makes a good sunset
Looks good on that shirt that hugs my figure
But didn't look good on my face
You're tellin' me
I didn't need drama
It's so simple see
He's stealin' my kids, 3
Baby, red ain't my color

Red ain't my color, mmm mmm
No no baby
And u lit up my world

I wear you every day.
A delicate fabric that can tear at any moment.
I can’t give you away,
you’re sewn into my skin.
But
maybe
I can layer you
with a new coat material,
fresh warmth,
strong lining,
bold buttons,
that tie our seams together
so nothing can rip us apart.

sometimes
you won't
understand me

i am a writer
sometimes
i'd rather be
in the world
i imagine
than in the
real world

i am a poet
sometimes
i'd rather be
alone
with my feelings


sometimes
you won't
understand me

please
respect that
