xvy May 2022
The moon is not meek for it is a warrior
It is not cold when it is burning with rage
Between the jaws of Bakunawa, it will not yield
Within the shadows of the earth, it will not wane

i should have
xvy Dec 2021
i should have said yes
even when i was unsure
— or just cautious?

i should have jumped
where will I land
— am i a catch?

i should have ridden that wave
and let the sea decide my fate
— still learning how to swim

i was terrified
thought i have time
— it slipped by

i was careful
but too careful
–— it was too late

i should have said yes
yes, i should have
—  i should

Oh the rain
xvy Oct 2020
Rain, oh, the rain
On a gloomy Thursday morning
It’s pouring rain

All is muted, all is grey
All your worries are at bay

See it flow on your window pane
Hear how it pelt down the drive way
Let it cradle you, keep you snug
Like that green tea in your mug

And if there's no rainbow after
Then that's okay
Maybe just kiss the rain today
Ever thought how the rain can soothe all your senses? I woke up today on a heavy downpour and I got a little bit inspired. Softly in the background, Yiruma's Kiss The Rain plays.

Wordless understanding
xvy Oct 2020
I am robbed
of eloquence
Measly words
that doesn't seem
sincere enough
To prove
my affections
My thoughts
and
emotions
Hidden behind
closed windows
Neither light
nor spark
can shed
some clarity
Of grief
and pain
The unbidden
hurt I
have inflicted
on me
A thirst
for sympathy
and wordless
understanding
It's hard to talk about things that matter

Rise above
xvy Sep 2019
Let me say goodbye
Let me start anew
To leave the past behind
Make room for me to grow
Explore the things I like
In a place I never knew
Chase a wider sky
Swim a bluer sea
Brave the toughest climb
Beat the beast within

Now,
Now remember these words

The heart of the heart
Must stay like a child's
For no matter how far
How high nor how long
Hold the hand
Wherever you're from
Shadows are just tricks
Played by the mind
So thread the path
Holding a candlelight
Now rise above the old thee

The Face of Man

Shadows of the past, the dim future
And the uncertainty of the present

A Train of Thought
xvy Mar 2016
Poems, you will never know when it will come to you
It will hit you right then and there
Like thunders and flashes of lightning
You got to be prepared
But you can never be prepared
It will be as if time halted and all you can ever do is stand still
As the words pour out of your mind
Helplessly you are struggling to put them back
So you can remember everything when you write them down
Poems, it is a long train of thought on a winding rail
It will be impossible to jump out of it
And you will never jump out of it
Because it's a quicksand, all you can do is sink, sink, sink
But what you will realize
Is that, after all the empty drafts and coffee mugs
You've just created something that might change the world
Then you should know it's all worth it

A Birthday Haiku

For you, jolly good fellow
I will not deny

It's my birthday!!
For those who share this day with me, Happy Birthday to you too!
xvy Feb 2016
When I submerge myself into something special
Something out of this world,
Something beautiful and grand,
I think only of one person
Only one
How lucky of you
You got me lost in reverie with you
It wasn't in my plan after all
You weren't in my plan after all
But you brought me here
You may not have realized that, I know
But you did, you did
Now, I'm not sure if I'll ever want to leave
Maybe I didn't even if you want me to
I just hope you'll stay here
The place where you brought me

Ink and Rhyme

How long has it been

Echoes from the heart
Unspoken words of the mind
Freed through ink and rhyme

What happened?

I hate that it has come to this
Things wasn't supposed to be this way
It shouldn't have ended like this
What happened?
Tell me what happened?

This is really a heartbreaking moment for me
It's new year and I'm spending it here all alone, for the first time in my life

Ruler of the Night Sky
xvy Dec 2015
Waning she may be, but her light is ever bright
Even more than enough to brighten up my night
No dark clouds she wouldn't fight
No sky she wouldn't might
For she is the ruler of the sky that is night

Christmas Blues
xvy Dec 2015
Darkness is creeping into the corners of the room,
I wonder where the Christmas lights had gone?
And so are the bells and the jolly Christmas carols?
Is it over? Already over?
The night is still young
But everybody is fast asleep
The silence is ear-splitting
I am not use to this
No more gold, no more red
Just Christmas blues

The World Stops To Listen
xvy Dec 2015
You are but a reserve man of emotions
The one who answers only to yes or no
The one who stands in the corner of the room of every party
The one who chooses to be alone just so

But when you write, the world stops
To listen to the words you've woven
with beauty and intertwine with sorrow
To listen to the rhythmless music
where all the butterflies in my stomach dance to
To listen to the raging wave of sentiments for humanity
To listen and to feel the love and ache that the world chooses to neglect

You, you may crack the lamest jokes
But when you write, *the world stops to listen

I Just Feel So Numb
xvy Dec 2015
Is it weird that I miss crying
Like crying because of
a good movie
a sad novel
a soulful song
or perhaps because
it hurts so bad
that all you can do is cry
and I miss it
because now
I just feel so numb

Safe Places

I am leaving safe places
To find where I'm supposed to be
It doesn't feel quite right nor
It doesn't feel wrong
But I'm leaving safe places
Because here's not where I belong

It Aches Me
xvy Nov 2015
It aches me to see
How memories can fade
Like smeared pages of a book
Yellowed and crumbling
Like the falling leaves of autumn

It aches me to see
How misty the images are
Like freshly printed polaroids
Preserve but then forgotten
Like old baby albums

It aches me to realize
Though how hard we try
Memories just wane
Even the most precious
Even those we treasure the most

That Night
xvy Nov 2015
I wish to see the stars again
The same way I saw it that night
When we're both under the sky
Lying and talking and dreaming
While the earth never cease to notice
Our time seems to halt for a split second
But such things never truly last

Endless Void
xvy Nov 2015
I remember how deserted that road was
My journey into darkness and stillness
It creeps into my core
Afraid of the endless void.

But then there was light
Accompanied by glitters of the night
It enveloped my doubt with desire
And showered my fears with fire

Til the time I wandered through
*the endless void.

Though to fade or to tarry
You cannot choose

All you wish to hold
Will be forcefully taken
Those that you bury
Will forcefully crawl out of your skin

I am a withered pine.

I am a falling star.
What should I do?
Where should I go?
