Comet

Im just a comet passing by
A century it has been since last
I am but a bitter star in the sky
Not a moon ever orbiting.

My value lies in my rarity
But I cannot trump the norm.
Daily wins over serendipity.
Our paths won’t cross anymore.

Ring

I threw your ring unto the sea
And engaged myself to the deep
So no finger can bear the misery
A love that abandoned ship.

Rain

The rain reminds of you
Not of our hands held
Nor nights of you beside
Not of drunken fights
Nor fickle puns nor stunts
Not home cooked meals
Nor unspoken desserts
But tears of your affection
Tears of no direction
Yet tears from absence
Tears of where and when again
The rain continues to pour.

Paginumdom

Pahinumdom sa tanang na nagtukaw
Sa ang ugma maabot na
Sa umaabot na mga oras
Hapit na musakaw ang adlaw.

Pakihipos sa luhang nagtulo
Ay pasangil na dala ra nas ulan
Kay kaganina pa na hawan
Ang langit na gatago sa bulan.

Pahinumdum sa tanang napilaw
Mao na gyud ning panahuna
Sa pagpahiluna sa sauna
Tug ta, tug ta taman-taman.

How to move on?

When our fates are intertwined,
How can one unbound such ropes?
Knots from heart strings are tedious
To sever such requires to one with the void.
Woe to circumstance, quite pathetic indeed,
Of paths birthed from crossroads already taken.
Relief is but a dream of many, many fools.
Reprieve is hope determined by time itself.
Freedom is but a concept of those in despair,
Lit from delusions of the ones oppressed.
Why do love and hate come hand in hand?
Like joy and sadness, buy one, take one.

Musings

March 16, 2019

And so it begins, stories that unfold with each passing moment.

So it starts, conversations that only time bore witness.

Ends are beginnings, illusions brought about by stories yet to be told.

Woe to Babylon’s unfinished citadels, reaching the heavens naught.

Soliloquy’s deception, journeys unfinished, unconquered.

At the crossroads that fate has brought, directions shifting in the wind.

Long last the flame that burned alive, unfazed by the stormy air.

Finally I bade goodbye, to love long gone like memories of sand castles by the beach.

Come back

Why do i beseech thee
When the tides don’t come
And stars fall despite prophecy
A world i chaos without thee?

Why should I beseech thee
When prophets hail the end,
An apocalypse with thy absence,
A lonely of utter longing?

I come to beseech thee,
As foundations come tumbling
In my midst without thy presence,
A longing ever unprecedented.

Midnight Rants

When the darkness becomes too comfortable
The lack of vision is a future to behold.
The tunnel is lit with gloom like lanterns
Ghastly roads, destination molested.
Is tomorrow another rainy day?
Rainbows are all presumptuous signs.
Soliloquy from the pits of the unheard
Silence is a reprieve and a consequence.

Moonshine

When the moonlight is upon us
Blessing our moody, weary souls
The future is lit despite the uncertain
The darkness has a definite end.

Wish

I sometimes wish
That stars align
When you will it to be
And not be ruled by reality.

I sometimes wish
That longing is but a dream
Like horoscopes ubiquitous
And never specific.

I sometimes wish
That truth would not be
So cruel like gruel
Minced, pounded as is.

I sometimes wish
That sleep will deprive
All thoughts and hopes
Of fate tamed like stars.
