DEAR PENPAL PEOPLE, around midday? :>
double notice
focus to the unfocus
the light burnt now broken
so bright blind golden
nerves stitch the antidote of the unspoken
like the robot knew in the open
a wire functions him a moment stolen
the thunk already tornado thought chosen
permanent to memory hold in
eclipsed the expression from faces frozen
left hearts so cold so swollen

(Sitting on Santa's lap)
Me: "I want a dragon"
Santa: "Nope, too dangerous"
Me: "Ok, then I want a boyfriend"
Santa: "What color dragon?"

When I was 2 years old.
I did not know true pain,
I did not know true fear.
My life was full of rainbows.
When I was 2 years old-
My innocence was my beauty.
Years went by;
I was now 8 years old.
I knew pain,
I knew fear
The rainbows in my life no longer there.
The rainbows replaced with storms;
Storms of violence, of pain and fear.
My perseverance was my beauty.
6 more years pass,
I was 14.
Full of pain.
Full of fear.
I was scared of life.
My beauty was gone.
Now 3 years later...
I still know pain,
I still know fear.
But things have changed.
The rainbows look down on me once again.
The pain - still there, but less prominent.
The fear, following me - but no longer dominant.
So, now at 17.
I live, I understand and I love.
When I was 2 years old my beauty was my-
Innocence.
When I was 8 years old my beauty was my-
Perseverance.
When I was 14 years old my beauty was gone.
My beauty no longer missing.
It is no longer hidden.
My beauty has arisen.
My beauty, now...
At 17 years old.
My beauty now is;
My 17 years of pain,
My 17 years of fear,
My 17 years of experiences,
My beauty is me.
I am my beauty.

I never would have thought that you,
of all people,
would pull a vanishing act on me.
I guess I should have realized
after 12 years of second, third, fourth chances
that you're no different than the rest.

Reunite, in an embrace,
Sleek black and white keys and fingertips of lace,
_Dance away!_
Until the frothy winds weep,
Until my curious eyes wane,
Weave those strings of emotion
into a muslin-mist melody.
Intoxicate this mellow dream
with coffee rhythm and cinnamon notes
Let your song inspire me again
as it hushes to pianissimo
and dissolves into the summer shadows.
_"encore!"_

Habang ang iba'y tulog tayo namay gising.
Mata koy dilat at nanalangin sana'y ika'y maging akin
Bago ipikit ang aking mga mata.
Nais ko ilathala sa aking panaginip na gusto kita
May mga salitang di kayang bitawan,
Sa mga labi ito'y mahirap mailarawan,
Kaba ng dibdib ang nangingibabaw,
Sa sarili na puno ng alinlangan.
Sa bawat saknong ng tula,
Damdamin ay nailathala,
Mga salitang hirap bigkasin,
Sa taludtod ng tula nalang maihain.
Sa pagsapit ng hating gabi,
Kung di ito kayang masabi,
Kahit sa hangin nalang maibulong,
Ang mga salita ng damdaming nakakulong.

Childhood is a time you always want to remember
But I never want to
It is like a nightmare for me
As I got shattered,
When I lost the leader of my family, my father
I was left alone with my mother,
Bank loans and many other responsibilities
I still fear that day,
I fear thinking how horrible it was for me.
You can't imagine what I've gone through
Yes, you can never imagine
The situation I came out from,
I was left all alone on my own
Neither had a shoulder to cry or
Someone to rely on
People were there for us
But I trusted none.
My biggest fear was to face another day on my own
Knowing that I was all alone
I tried to divert my mind
But that could only help until
I realized my biggest nightmare,
That was my reality.
I overcame every bad phase and
Here I am standing tall on my own.

my class ends at 11:30 and ill
be home by 12.
so little in this world can give me
comfort like a closed door and a
grey sky through a
curtain.

I'll never talk about what it's not, but I'll tell you what it is
It's the jaw harps sound, clear as spring water in open mouths
It's an echo clear in a budding clearing
And clear enjoyment in the crinkling eyes of a crying wish
And as for my old mentor, his name was Kitten Lips
Because he purrrrrred when he performed on it

Be thought, and alone no more

College is
A peaceful mind
Because it's years
And years
Of nonthinking
Thought
Free of judgement
And greatly
At a price
Often bought

Pain, no conscious name
Be known, but never the less
In present heaven

BLACK
Is the darkest singular star
Behind the sun in the known night sky
BLUE
Is the sea in the sight of it's beholder
And long as the day is young and green
BOLD
Is the order of man unknown
Tall, as it shoots and sparks into the fall of being
COLD
Is the starlight and seabed alike
As awakening grasps at the spark of meaning

No coloring known
Is such as described by man

You cannot see me
Hear aloud
Though here I am regardless
Consisting of the why in wind
Though I may howl
And crash upon the sudden leaves
I am still
The whispering in the hear and now

Once grown, is a seed of life

As half a cup
When my sip in process is
Though when empty still
I am sorrowful not
It's a drink unending with

Quiet voices call
Another restful mind's eye
To see as others
Be as being cannot call
And remind if quiet lives

Care, without a world in the air
And one leg propped up upon the other
As if the universe didn't exist
As if the words and thoughts were as one, unminced
And so I am introduced to you once again
My future friend

i never seem
to get enough
rest
these days
always waking
up
tired
to start coffee,
****
fix my hair,
sit in bed drinking
the coffee
plumbing the depths
for
ways to get through
another day,
****
try to remember ways
that worked
before
maybe a quote
or a character
a poem
a song
a memory
an illusion
could even be
another person
but time draws
ever nearer
ever closer
until
at last
that silent cheetah
is sprinting
before i know it
i'm sitting
in my car
turning the key
with whatever
semblance and steel
i finally gathered
-a real live
cubist representation
of my
self
driving to work
at 3:49 a.m.
passing
three black cats
in
the street
that watch me
carefully,
the glowing night
white-hot
in their eyes
satellites of some
indifferent future
hidden with
the devils
on the horizon

Because my poems are always depressed,
I tried to write something happy for you.
~
Depression returns.
~
Half of our converstations
Is laughter.
~
And I was figuring out,
If your laughter was a mask too sometimes.
~
And I broke through,
But it wasn't
~
Hapiness stayed.
~
I helped you write your first poem,
The motto:
~
Never give up,
Don't be sad.
~
And I wonder
If you'll ever
~
See trough the eye,
of a true poet.
~
And if you'll never,
Stay sad.
~
And if you'll ever,
Keep going
...
