Her whispers:
Puts my mind at ease,
Cusping my shoulders,
With Her gentle breeze,
Removing a boulder.

O, Wind,
Come again,
In need of reprieve, sweep me.
Come again,
O, Wind,
I need relief.
While I mowed the lawn, the gusts of wind spared me from misery.

Oh how you always end up
in my bed, when you are most hurt--
My hands on your gorgeous hips
as I pull you  fully, down on to me..

A true descending..  into
the further-reaches  of you
In to places  previously untouched
As I hold you there

As if  for an eternity

Till you are no longer  
unable  to feel me..

Until you are  fully
able to feel me


anything less would be insincere
Gustuhin ko mang makipagsapalaran
Sa mga letrang nakalutang sa himpapawid
Ay binabalot ako ng pagtatantya
Kung ito na ba ang tamang oras
Para kunin ang aking panulat
At iguhit ang silakbo ng aking damdamin.

Humihinto ang mga oras sa bawat pag-uusig
At tinitimbang ko pa rin
Ang mga barkong pumapagitna sa akin.
Nais kong kumawala at lumisan na lamang
Ngunit ang aking pagpapaalam
Ay mas magdudulot lamang ng dilim.

Gusto kong maniwala na ang solusyon
Ay sa pagitan ng mga iginuhit na linya
Ngunit ang aking puso'y nagtataglay ng apoy
Na maaaring makasunog sa mga barkong ito.

Hindi ko mapigilan ang nagniningas sa aking kaloob-looban
At ang boses na mas lalo pang lumalakas
Kasabay ng pagtambol ng aking hininga.
Gusto Nitong tupukin ang lahat
At sakupin ang bawat naglalayag
Sa kani-kanilang mga direksyon.

Pumikit ako at tumalon sa karagatan ng aking imahinasyon –
Imahinasyong masasabi kong tunay na engkwentro.
Patuloy kong nilalaban ang mga ugat sa aking mga braso
Na sa bawat pulso ng aking pagkatao'y
Pilit na kumikitil sa aking pagpapasya
Na mas sumisid pa sa mas malalim.

Napahinto ako sa aking pagpupumiglas
Pagkat narinig ko ang tinig na nagsasabing,
"Manatili ka lamang,"
At ako'y kusang sumabay sa ritmo ng Tinig na iyon
At unti-unti kong nasilayan na naglaho na
Ang mga agiw sa aking mga mata
At kusa ko nang nararamdamang
Mas kaya ko nang huminga sa mas malalim pa.

Ito ang aking hantungan,
Ito ang sinasabi kong liwanag.
Ito ang aking kapanatagan,
At sa Kanya ang aking lilim ng kaliwanagan.
"Calm yourself.
Anger can make
it worse."

A cup of coffee so hot it
burns my tongue.
I like it, gives a kick

An opened book on Freud
laid out on the table so I’d seem
More cultured, educated

A joint in my hand as
I inhale the smoke with
the petrichor sneaking in from outside

A sense of calmness in this
chaotic world
somehow soothes me

the world is on fire,
but i am at peace.
the situation's dire,
and this year was so bleak.
who knows what twenty one
will have in store?
will this virus be done?
will we go to war?
whatever awaits,
i'll be so okay,
passively accept fate
'cause i am unphased
by trudging though days
that are just as grey
as those filled with rage,
as those filled with pain,
that always lit my way.
sometimes i miss the touch of rain on my skin,
the water pouring down on my body,
soaking me to the bone.
sometimes i miss the feeling of calmness,
the racing thoughts in my mind
drowning into a peaceful quietness.
sometimes i miss the feeling of not knowing
where my tears begin and the rain stops,
basking in the sorrows i feel.
sometimes i miss being alright,
the depths of numbness,
the emptiness staring back quietly.
sometimes i miss the sun,
sometimes i miss the loud thoughts.
sometimes i miss the nights it rained for hours.
sometimes the soft sounds luring me back to sleep.
sometimes i miss the calmness i seek.

She walked slowly through the pavement
the agony, the sorrow, and the forlorn felt choked
suffocated chest and the trembling cold feet
heavy breathing as she could hear the puff
a gutted it might sound
the longer silhouette followed
warm breeze brushed the pasty cheeks
trees and the blooms waving gently whispering a love song
the nature chanteuses were consoling the dejection
she was abducted into a beguile realm
escaped to feel the evening sun
where the ray embraced her tighter than him

Replace all of your sadness with great joy,
every meter of your doubt with quite convictions.

Take the places of every fear you had with some endurance, all of your anxieties with enough calmness.

You have the influence to make the right choices for your own.
And what really matters, is that the moment you knew the whole you in every ground plans.
All you need is to hold on to yourself - trust;
