the pacific howl of the wind  
into the ocean came
as you sweetly whispered
Goodbye Kitty Goodbye
my ***** is covered with blue
and held a valley of rain

no longer go
spinning fibers into the night
no more roving for fourth or fifth or sixth
the final spin has come to end
the time has changed its course
the voyage into the unknown is upfront

hold thy wings and be thy strength
into the silent solitude of the night  
with the summer laughters and joy
drawn in the palms from the summer days
the time has changed its course
the voyage into the unknown is upfront

time to let us go
we kissed one sweet goodbye
under the sad moon
i cried

It's a long long time,  
This Poet in me, been sleeping,
A real gem, lives within,
Finally got awaken,
After this heart,
Of mine bled and broken.
Now it's narrating,
That a Poet takes over,
And is my new lover.
Fervor is her pen,
To put those words penned.

beach reggae festival
glow neon lights
brown sugary rocks
reggae in the air
vibrant and cool
powdery brown rocks
where my back  lay over
left all alone with you
and the buzzing sea
with the waves that
chase back and forth
like lovers
you and me
at the beach reggae festival
sweet summer night
with the thoughts of
soft lips
silky skin
and blue - eyes

black silhouette vale sits my garden
face withered hallowed eyes laden
haunts my garden till the flowers grow barren
rips tears and cuts throats
mourns mountains of graves

i wonder if i could dig a hole
give a rest for her soul
may the moon lit up her Madole
the stars shine her face
the birds sing her lace

i wonder if we could run a talk
walk like friends
may her heart plays her music
her feet dance with joy
her hands reach for mine

i wonder if she leaves my garden
never comes back
may I mourn in joy
sleep in peace
for black silhouette vale sits my garden

i wonder if
i wonder if
i wonder if

ang mala dyosa **** kagandahan
ngiting mahinhin di kukupas kailan man

balat **** makinis haplusin
ligaya sa aking puso't damdamin

your beauty like a goddess
smile that never age

whose skin so soft and smooth
when caress by god's hands
such joy my heart and spirit

butterfly Jul 2017
we are now apart
at each other's arms
i'm here
you're there

i have to stay
you have to fly
i can't bear this feeling
but i have to hold my heart

once we're lovebirds roving fibers
underneath the moon rivers
the sweet melodies of the nights
those that caress the mights

beach, the universe we adore
sand castles we built with love
the waves tossed in the air
by our laughters

sun is going down
summer's over
the night fell the ground
i'm frozen and numbed

but my heart beats
for you, i know


your heart knows, too
that we still are
in love, but your mind denies

wanna let go of you
cuz i don't want the numb
but i can't

clouds of loneliness -
fear of loss - Doubts -
selfish desire is a cancer to my brain!

i wonder if there’s an antidote - i can swallow -
instant and painless
or should i go through an operation
painful but sure

i wonder if there's a cure?
to this loneliness

as i close my eyes
a land so bizarre appears before my sight
full of mystics, stillness, and trickery
and this hollow heart of mine
sprout the **** of curiosity
how could this be so real?

a flash before my eyes
the sky lifts me up so high
and stretches the arms of mine
like birds soaring up the sky
i flap them side by side
with my heart in wonderment, I ponder

reflects before my very eyes
an aesthetic resemblance of mine
with great affection gazes at me
with awe our eyes meet and merge
lil flowers sprout out from between the ******* of ours
a chest of exquisite embellishment

this strange land far away
where i set my foot with ease
waters crystallize and dance with elegance
flowers and trees smile and breathe
how could this be so real?
then suddenly...

darkness fell on me
mystic land decayed
waters ran blood and miasmic
flowers and trees  called out death
i trembled in fear I want to flee
but the grass clasp my legs impossible to leave

hypnotic blue - eyed look

endless days and night, i wish!

eyes closed  
arms around me
deep in the woods

oh, i wish endless days and nights!

touch my skin
soft and silky
kiss my lips
soft and ample

all i wish upon the moon god lover,
endless days and nights!
endless days and nights!

You are the sun
cast light the garden
warm the moon
touches the river
calms the flood at dusk -----
the smile I draw on the sky

I see harvest as you shine
rays in every leaves
grew the farm
kissed the earth
sang the music of your heart
a whistle  and a lightness on your face
                            
The sunset has come
and carried you away
darkness fell
I fell on my knees
powerless as you're asleep
People stay awake having coffee and bread

They put you in a box
when you called fire
They put you six feet the ground
when you asked for ash
Those your blue book
they swallowed and spit

The ******* of religion
they cradle like child
I was so broken
my heart is revolting
against the shared fate

You’re a free spirit
sun of the sky
you’re rays reach 
every angle of the world
you hold the big heart
in your chest

fiery eyes
gaze of a child
on the old witch’s house on fire

standing like a tree
the old got on her knees
prayed to the sun god

a stone carved
worshipped by men
she calls him god

deaf as they are
blind as they are
her ignorance
slaughtered her house

the gods don't have ears
they will never come
her house will turn to ash

rain thy fire! rain thy fire!
they said
the fire gnawed the house
crushed my heart

left nothing but a sad tale
for the coming age
a star dusts that reminds
partiality in the house

my heart bleeds
a river
of tears
and aches

butterfly Aug 2017
if
if you're heart is half in two  
i'd rubbed you with rose mary, so
the pain comes to end
and loves me again

i'd bathed you in lavender
into your deepest core
sun comes out
to warm your heart

if you are the moon
picked through my room
i'd keep my door wide open
as your rays warm up my cold veins

as the day wakes up
i put my lips on yours
let our hearts freefall
and savour ecstatic blow

if you're an unspoken poetry
i'd penned lines about you day to day  
as you lie down next to me
i read them to you with gay

If you're infinity
and death is a staircase to you
I'd take with all the risks
just to be one with you

ikaw parin tinitibok ng puso ko
ikaw parin tanging nasa isip ko
ikaw parin pinapangarap makatabi sa gabi
ikaw parin hinahanap pagkagising sa umaga

ikaw parin kahit malayo na
ikaw parin kahit iba na
ikaw parin hanggat humihinga pa
hindi magbabago pag - ibig ko sayo

tag - init,
tag -ulan,
tag - lamig
tag- lagas

mahalin ka parati
araw at gabi
inaasam palagi
iisipin sa bawat sandali

tag - araw,  tag - ulan
tag - lagas, tag - lamig
pag - ibig ko ay mananatili
sa ilalim ng lihim
ako lamang nakakaalam at ang buwan

the spark of your blue eyed gaze
beneath the forest bed
in your arms with my heart
i melt with you

the warmth of your breath
touch deep of the woods
i can’t resist but
melt with you

the verses you wrote on the leaves
around my head
where love birds make a nest
with the forest mists
i melt with you

the flow of your love
run over my body
fresh sweet pure honey
from the nectar where bees feast

a growling dog jumped on me one night
in a hollow to ****** the baby in my arms    so fragile
my fist came to his face
but bit me nearly to death
blood scattered everywhere
but no one seemed to care

the dog ran out my sight
so      I checked the baby if he's okay
i see The baby was unharmed
undisturbed and asleep    so tight
i wonder  "Why did the baby not cry"
yet I'm full of worry and fright
in a hollow

i spotted two people close by
so amused to themselves as they stood by
i wondered if they have a sight of me
oh god I hope they're not blind my plea
but they seemed not to hear me cry
for help, I don't know why

i'm so scared
what if that beast comes back
and devours my heart out
as his fang in me - tacked
i'd scream and scream
in a hollow      alone and dark

is this just a dream
reflected my fears all in
and how can I escape from here
so uncanny and surreal
how can I wake up
when my soles have rooted up
in a hollow of fear

loving someone
sweet and dearly, and
to be loved by someone
is sweeter than honey, but
loving oneself
is the sweetest shield,
one must bear
leave most nectar

scanning the body head to foot
with steel mind and equanimous
legs crossed and eyes closed
scanning every cells and nerves he comes across

scanning scattered thoughts in the dark cell
where sankharas clung from a shipwreck years
bleeding in pain but still and sharp
cutting every root of miseries and wraths

dissecting, disintegrating the body piece by piece
with steel mind and equanimous
observing thousands of rising sensations
with the wisdom of anicca anicca anicca

sleeping volcanoes arisen
despairs dissolve to dust
vibration flows, space free
metta runs from the depth of a milky way

scanning, dissecting, disintegrating
with steel mind and equanimity
wisdom of anicca anicca anicca
purifying the galaxy from the ******* of dukkha

i think of you while in bed,
when i’m at rest,
or all by myself
in my room or at the beach,
but when i come back to my breath,
these lingering thoughts melt away
like a bubble popped in the air
the wind snatched it away

I'm not a definition of obsession
but passion, care and love
you see nothing good
but dirt in my sleeves
how dare you sweep them off
when you have a speck in your eyes
you ignore for years
call me obsessed
call me blind
call me dull
but i think you're madness as it is
with a big ego and arrogance
shallow is your well
understanding is no place in your head

moon smiles upon a tree
                    casts the light through the dark blue sea
          speaks in silence to me
    brings peace to my arc as it may be

                                moon stares at me with smile
          through my window at night, as I lie
whispers to me, good night; sleep tight
            draws on my face the smile I ensile

i rushed to climb the rooftop one night
                    to meet the moon and stars in the sky
i waited and was uptight
            but no moon showed up to say hi

                                  melancholy clasped my body so tight
        might moon come out tonight
            if moon glint not tonight
my soul forever will smite

i'm writing this in between
                after that bad bad dream
                    it felt like I was nailed up
                        as I struggled to wake up

                                          my body paralyzed in bed
                                                    i couldn't help but dread
                                                          as cold wind touched my nape
                                                            my vellus hair stood up straight

that sense of eerie crippled my core
                                                              as i felt his coming to my door
                                                then i heard some little footsteps
                                          and creaking at the hinges

i clasped my body so tightly
                          as i saw death coming to me slowly
                    my brain searched for that nerve
          to shake up my senses to leave

i felt my leg made a kick
                  then, I stood up pretty quick
                      my heart agitated
                              as i grasped one deep breath
then, i stood up pretty quick
my heart agitates
as i grasped one deep breath

there was a child whose father
brews rice at dawn
before the eyes of her mother
she frowns and stands like a pawn

her neighbors grumble saying
her lips a peg for pots
but they've seen nothing
what's inside her hearts

at the age of ten she thinks
like a hundred times her age
she burns her brows at nights
while her siblings sleep in their caves

she stands in the dark trails
her childhood can't see or hear
but her heart alone sees
how much she wanted to be free                                                                                                            

there's a spring of tears
and a lake of fire
she locks her door
and hides her face inside

cyclothymia runs her blood, they said
but their blind to see
blind to see her in a bottomless pit
almost defied

and her mother only sees
a face with a frown
a frown not the fullness
of her heart with a crown

but her father looks into her eyes
his smiles washed away the frown on her brows
leaving no flecks but a face that radiates
she flows with the rivers and seas

he sees her depths and lifts his pride
his a shelter she trusts her back and her spine
and her face glows in the dark a luminous green
then she finds her way and strength to walk on her path

the child with a frown no longer exists
her mother stands still in wonders
the neighbors and their mouths are shot
as a well grown garden arise
full of flowers bees and butterflies
