Do you remember what happened that day?

In the middle of a battle, supposed allies shot fire

Killing our fellow comrades,  jeopardizing our fight for freedom

Traitors and thieves who stole our rights and lives

All for what? Pride and power?

Don’t forget what happened that day

One that will remain dark in our history

Remember. Remember. May 5, 2020

Before the rooster breaks the silence of black
My body lies still, but my mind is far from blank

Oh how gloomy the weather; so dark, so blue
Tight-shut windows forbidding rain to pour through

Drops of water racing down from the foggy glass
One after another until the moon comes to pass

When will it stop? It’s too loud
Sleep, come to me. You’re nowhere to be found

In a few moment’s time, the noise finally dies down
Only the loud thumping in my chest can be heard all around

As my deep breaths lull me to my slumber
The only witness of the lone sight is the stain of a waterless river

t.c.

As my eyes soar through the open heavens
I witness a sky full of hopes and dreams
A masterpiece up above so high
That brightens our night with flying colors

With twinkling lights that outshine one another
Infinite stars smile down at me
Endlessly stretching across the universe
Reaching far into the boundless blanket of black

Little as they seem, their glow may look dull
But once the lights are off, the whole world will see
The iridescent diamonds illuminating the cosmos
Thus revealing the true wonders of the galaxy

A black hole, this empty void
releasing nothing, but the horrors of yesterday
A bad dream that chases me towards Hell;
an unending race of fear
The joy in my eyes was her heart's collapse
Yin and Yang as they would say
Her soul filled with despair,
ran with the rain
In a blink of an eye,
she was gone
I was an ocean without its creatures
Empty as the sky with no stars
Half of my heart was lost in a sea of thoughts
With not as much as a wave of goodbye
or a message that says,
"I'll be back as soon as the sun rises!"
I wait in silence with grief and pain
for her bright smile to break the chains of darkness
Till this day I wait
to welcome you back into my longing arms

t.c.
