Within the museum of forgotten hours
Where shadows dance and darkness cowers
There's an exhibit of what's been undone
A showcase of the paths we've never won
Within the garden of what's been left behind
Where petals drop and flowers unwind
There's a fragrance that still lingers on
A scent of what could've been, but never was known
Whatever is left, it whispers low
A secret language only known to few
A dialect of longing and regret
A whispered promise of what we'll never get

In the cartography of forgotten places
A topography of what's been erased
Lies a residue of what's past
A palimpsest of love and pain forever fast
In the archaeology of the soul
A stratigraphy of memories unfold
Like the rings of a tree, they tell a tale
Of seasons come and gone, of love that's failed
Whatever is left, it festers
A wound that refuses to heal
A scar that throbs with every heartbeat
A reminder of the fragility of our deepest retreat

On empty streets where shadows roam,
I see your face in every soul.
It’s been four months since our goodbye,
Yet the ghost of you still grips my mind.
Your smile, your laugh, that careless spark,
The paths we wandered, the dreams we shared
No song can drown the storm in my mind
No matter how loud, you always arrive.
I miss you, but I don’t long for you—
Yet every step, I stumble through.
In every shadow, every flickering light,
I’m haunted by the ghost of you
I tell myself I’ve let you go,
But deep down, I think we both know.
It’s colder now, these nights I roam,
Even the stars have lost their glow.

Why, are expectations so high
I miss you so much but this life
What's with these rhymes
A gust of wind, A falling leaf
A will to live, An uncertain belief
Feels wasteful and tasteless
Abruptly it's hateful and shameless
Why must we be this way
Can't we reforge this friendship
Can't we again be happy and not feel restless
Can't we be what we were
Can't we?
I love you so much that it hurts
Trust me when I blurt this I combust
I'm blasted, I hate it when you halt
I made this and as I felt your touch
Vanishing with each passing sec of clock
I'm tired, I'm crying but it won't be heard
It may seem a bit selfish, and it shall be Interesting to watch me crumble like a bottle of maple syrup
Unworthy of such ballsy tauntings of submerging in an ocean-full of flaunting daydreams
Excluding the haunting of nightmarish ranting inside this thought of mine
Unexpectedly these words are daunting
To me it's a gateway of something
Seemingly meaningless but resolving
Touchè to someone
Terrible to some
It's but these words are iconic
For even in the "illuminating" world
It shines darker than ever
Many hate it, but I love it
After all it's all in the flows
Just like water
Beautiful but menacing
Calm but Destructive
Gentle yet Unfathomably cruel

Crumbling.. changing, stumbling.. aware of..
the unattended now cold non brewing..
Sadness creeping..
Feelings of.. turning..
As I 'm searching sources of it..
Heartaches..
ahh ah ha.. There..
seems the warmth has no care.
Room check, maintenance request in room 5..
Heart chamber.. Private Estate.. wayside.
**** it.. ok..
No quick fix..
without admit..
So yeah.. slow brewing storm.. of pain...
No fun.. no at ease..
no its coldness...On my sleeve.. sorry .......
@Me.._You..
Even a cold coffee of brew..
Including a cold *** of stew.
Sad cold.. turning to symptoms of flu...

Sa mundong puno ng libu-libong pagdududa,
Bukod tanging sayo lang sumugal at nagtiwala.
Ngunit bakit sarili’y tila akin nang nalimutan,
Mas inuuna ang sayo kaysa sa aking nararamdaman.
Labis ang mga tanong na “paano na tayo?”,
Hindi na maisip kung “paano na ako?”,
Tama ba na sumugal at ilaban ko pa?
O mas mabuti na lang mag-isa?

I was there.
In times of need, I was there.
Hugging you tight, even though in pain. I stayed.
Always beside you even when I’m too weak to stand up.
When you needed me, I disregarded everything.
Every pain, every emotions, every single problems I have.
I stayed strong, because you needed me.
Endless chances, endless pain.
It doesn’t go away, but then I was still there.
At your darkest days and all the lies you made, I still believed.
But then where were you when I needed real help?
When I wanted to be better, why didn’t you believed?
I wanted to change, I wanted to make up for what I did.
I wanted to be better.
I wanted to be better.
I wanted to be better.
But then I’m all alone, in tears hugging myself.
No one believed and everyone else wants to leave.
Still, I stayed. I was always there.

I am a poet,
or I like to call myself one.
My heartaches and heartbreaks give life to empty pages;
I rarely compose from glorious days.
I’m inspired by the world, by people around me
but mostly by my pain.
I consider myself an introvert
for you will rarely hear me speak,
but on the other hand, I have much to say
just not with my lips
but with a pen.
I hide behind ink and paper
ready to write my feelings away.
I am the poetry that I write.

Bakit kaya ganun...
Nasasaktan ako kahit hindi dapat
Gusto ko umiyak...
Ngunit pawanag naubos na ang mga luha
Hahakbang pasulong...
Subalit tatlong tapak paurong
Pipiliting ayusin ang lahat...
Pero pawang gumuguho at mas gumugulo lang
Don't i deserve better...
Don't i deserve to be loved..
Don't i deserve to be happy without ever being afraid of failing again..

I loved you for who you are
In times of trouble is there
Ready to fight in gray
For my lover's lair
Sacrifice my happiness
For me not to see your sadness
I love you but what happened?
You fool me your maiden
I thought you will be my knight
With the darkest of night
With those beautiful sight
You leave me alone in the fight
I was betrayed
By you, the lover of mine
Until then, I was never fine
You choose her, I was done
In this battle I lost you
You found someone new
In the castle we build
Tonight I'm alone with no shield
I hope you're happy now
For leaving me behind
For the ties unwind
River of tears in my mind.

I see, breathe and
feel my heart
breaking a thousand times a day
I keep silence all through the day, the night
but when I go to sleep on my bed,
I remember each broken piece
like a still fresh bleed
Depriving me from night's peace
this is my sleep disease
All these heartaches control my night dreams
They won't cease till I cease.

heartaches hurt the most —
as if breathing takes
a lot of courage
and playing guitar
isn’t about the riffs anymore.
it’s as if tears
could choke you in pain
and every so often
they heavily pour.
usually, heartaches
could only be felt
in a sob or two;
but now heartaches are
random nights that
keep on haunting you.

_Buttered parcels filled,
With rose hips and cinnamon;
Heartache’s antidote._

unboard the windows
there is an expensive moment to come
when you finally figure out
the undoable has been done
never fleeting, never free
pay and pay but never repay
hope he was more than your hedberg ******
leading you on to childless and spinster
going going gone
all along you got it so wrong
dystopia ringing your doorbell daily
another package from amazon
****** censorship for all
aren't we all our own black swan

I've no plans to write tonight
but the sound of your voice lingers
at the back of my mind—
quiet, shy, baritone
like I have never imagined.
A humid day, the sky's tears fall
in little, thin drops
and there you were—
know that I try
to be as honest as possible, but
You didn't look perfect at all.
your eyes were tired, hair slightly tousled—
were you sleeping in class?
That thought makes me chuckle—
you looked like a child in confusion.
You didn't look perfect at all.
maybe it's because Helios wasn't
caressing your face.
For now, we make do with sunlight
peeking through clouds of gray.
Have I mentioned
you look good in blue?
Maybe I will soon.
Later when my heart is still
and I can admit you make my soul ache.
But for now, I wait and wait
and honestly, darling,
I wouldn't mind waiting—
for you.

Lonely
Something that describes me
Lonely
The feeling I keep hiding
I want to be by your side
Yet I know I can't
So I stay away
Like you want me to
Lonely
It's what I am
Lonely
Is what I'll always be
Destined to cry
In the shadows of the past
Without moving foward
Trying to not look back
Lonely
Is what I feel
Lonely
When you look away
I'll keep my distance
If that makes you happy
I'll give everything away
If I get to see you smile
Lonely
For you my love
Lonely
Will be enough

If I had known the future,
and all that it entailed;
I would never go, down those same roads,
that lead me straight to Hell.
~
If I had known the heartaches,
which many times I've faced;
I'd run and hide, deep down inside,
in a place that's sound and safe.
~
If I'd have known what love is,
I may have loved much more;
But I didn't know, how to let it show,
never knowing what love is for.
~
If I were but a child again,
and attention I yearned to seek;
I may have become, much different than some,
but all I became was me.

Hapon tayo unang nagkita at pareho tayong nag-iisa
dinadamdam mo ang lamig ng kahapon, ang paglisan
minamasdan ko sa layo ng araw ang iyong halina
Mahirap mag-intay sa ilap ng mga sulyap,
tanglaw sa tuwing naghahanap-kayakap
sa mapangakit na halina ng mga ngiti sa labing
malabong magdikit kahit sa pangarap
Sana’y sapat na ang mga awit
ng mga tulang binigkas sa hangin,
nagbabakasakaling maipadama ang lalim
at tugma ng pag-ibig na nilihim
Sa gabi, mag-isa na naman at dama ang lamig
yakap ang unan, hawak ang kumot
nag-iilusyong kasama ka
Sana’y maulit muli ang sumpa
sana’y walang takot sa halina
‘pagkat sanay na tayo sa lamig ng gabi
alam na natin ang ingay o init
at takot na tayong mabighani
Sa umaga, mag-isa na naman at dama ang init
masaya na sa halik ng kape sa labi
nag-iilusyong kasama ka.
Hapon tayo unang nagkita at pareho tayong nag-iisa
dinamdam mo ang lamig ng kahapong kaysakit
ninamnam ko ang tamis ng kalayaan sa pasakit
sana’y tanghali nalang tayo nagkapiling
sana’y di pa sanay o manhid sa pag-ibig.
Tadhana

if i were you
i wouldn't fall for a poet
they may be good at making you feel overwhelmed
they can make you fall through their actions
but they'll make you fall even harder with their words
falling for a poet is quite easy
they say,
they're gonna be spending a whole day
pouring their heart out
while tapping their pens rhythmically
with trembling hands
as they write about
your date nights,
movie marathons
and play fights
it will all be written on a piece of paper
i am a poet
i can make you experience life
in comparison to a rollercoaster ride
through poetry
i'm a woman of many emotions
you'll sometimes get confused
about how my brain ticks
i'll write about
the car rides under the stars
and under the city lights
i'll give you the sun,
the moon,
the universe
name it
i'd offer a blank page
and every stanzas
only for you
word per word
line per line
will be spoken with emotion
in photography
every moment was being captured
by the photographer
as well as in poetry
your actions towards a poet
could mean a lot
you'll be surprised
i write
even the heartaches
you have caused
so i wouldn't forget
the pain you inflicted
but i'd still thank you, eventually
for it wasn't for you,
i wouldn't be able to write this
