LAST POEM ABOUT YOU... Cool breeze smells like you Rewinding my avalanche of feelings when your name echoes But deep inside, my heart perspires Not of sweat but moist and fogs Beneath the hul-la-ba-loo Your peaceful face will be my haven Beyond wars and battles Your smile is my direction Wishing that on one fine day We will cross paths again Seeing on your starry eyes How love defines my name

Slam poetry vol. 1 (FREE WRITING) PAG-IBIG SA DULO NG LAPIS oo oo ang sinabi mo 'nung una kitang tinanong kung mahal mo ko oo din ang bumulusok mula sa nakangiti kong labi 'nung tinanong mo kung mahal kita ngunit hindi... hindi ang iyong tugon sa tanong kong, KAYA MO BA AKONG IPAGLABAN? hindi din ang sagot ko sa tanong mo na, KAYA MO BA AKONG BITAWAN? Siguro nga pareho lang tayo... Pareho lahat sa mga sagot na nilikha natin Pero tututol ako kapag sinabi nilang magkatugma ang mga tanong natin Lahat ata hindi maari... lahat ata ay di akin. Mabuti na nga lang sa mga panahong hindi ko maintindihan kung may TAYO ba, Naiisip ko na lang ang future na TAYO na. Mali ba? Mali bang maramdaman na kahit sa maikling sandali lang ay naging bahagi ka ng buhay ko? at naging bahagi ako ng buhay mo? kahit isang malaking fuck you ang lahat. natatandaan ko pa 'non, pa-ngiti ngiti ka pa sa harap ko. nahuhuli ko 'yang mga mata mo, lumiliwanag kapag nakikita ...

Emotions are flowing like a river. River that is wishing to become part of the sky. Like a joyful tears cascading down the boulevard, in this wondrous form of forgiving night. How will the joy revives? Seeing the sky full of stars. How will the dream survives? If the rains are hiding beyond the clouds. How will someone knows he'll be loved? If emotions are flowing like a river.

I remember how I look up the sky, waiting for the stars to fall. Imagining that you'll gonna be in it, in the twinkles beside the moon so bright. Every blink and every shutter leads to just one photograph, developing gradually in the dim of the night. And then lights were all too deep, a chasm of paradise over the eyes too keen. And finally from the moment of great desperation, I saw you... Stars after stars, connecting the blinking lights. There had occurred a seemingly impossibility, But this wonder leads me to thinking,  that forever... Your face will be my constellation.

I wasn't able to post this during holiday seasons. Anyways, here it is.      Is Santa will finally come to town?      "You better watch out. You better not cry. You better not pout. I'm telling you why..." Most probably you had sung it with joyous laughter and nostalgic smiles thinking that Christmas has already giving massive excitement to everyone most especially when you have thought of spending it with the ones you truly loved. But not everyone has given this kind of opportunity. More often than not, Filipinos (including you) value practicality up to the point when you are ready to exchange series of most celebrated holidays to years of servitude away from your families. But moments later you have trouble remembering when the last live hugs and kisses you had with them were, considering that your mind has only been seeing portraits and virtual images of them for the longest period of time. Others call this a long-distance relation...

What am I thinking just about right now? As a prologue to this self-proclaimed novel, let me first describe this wondrous night of 28th where November is just about to lose its glorious turn in this year of the sheep. Well, the noises were really evident with entertaining voices that were overlapping in a series of changing channels; the night has been splashing icey rains since the weather station announced to has been monitoring a possible typhoon; the smell of freshly brewed coffee that was left intact under my nostrils as I was drinking it earlier before I got home; the frenzied emotion I have feeling as I finally kiss my bed goodnight after that long and tiring battle for eternal city traffic. So imagine how it was entirely engaging (or probably not) to put my thoughts into a thousand repeated letters which I can call my blog. And yeah that was one hell of an introduction! As I am clinging with the literal scenarios of my daily life, I have come to unde...

..SA NAKARAAN      Magkabila ang ginagalawan nating mundo. Ni-hindi tayo magtagpo kahit sa boundary lang. May instances naman na magkatalikuran na tayo hindi pa natin alam. Nakangiti ka habang ako naghahanap. Eh ano nga ba ‘yung hinahanap ko? Hindi din ako aware kung ano ba talaga kaya ayun umalis na lang ako. Hindi ako lumingon sa kinalalagyan mo pero alam ko nakangiti ka pa rin. Ang sarap siguro sa feeling kung ang ngiti mong ‘yun ay para sakin. Wala lang naisip ko lang, kahit hindi kita kilala at hindi mo din ako kilala.      Hindi ko alam kung ‘san patungo ‘tong kwento ko. Ang alam ko lang ay nai-imagine ko ‘yung mukha mo kaya ako nagsusulat. Pero hindi talaga kita kilala. Hindi talaga. Ewan ko ba. Para akong praning kaka-type ng mga letra. Eh bawat letra naman ay parang sumisimbolo sa pangalan mo. Pero hindi ko alam ang name mo. Hindi talaga.      Gusto kong tanungin ‘yung pangalan mo para may rason nama...
