The wishings of a wanderer

I search where the salty breeze is coming

And it always pulls me back on my shoulders

 

With the force of a wave

Now...

Its delight has me yearning

Always

But its curse, just like the sea, is timeless

 

I search where the dusty road is leading

And it always gets my heart in a tremble

With the sound of the drum

Before...

Its sight had me wishing

Everyday

But now, the horizon is far from reach

 

I search for how my soul is feeling

And it keeps me on edge of wonder

With the will to drive

Beyond

The far north, the shining east

In the cold south, feel the autumn breeze

Soon, not now

I yearn to conquer

What my heart wishes to wander

(A poem that I submitted to and was posted on Lavender Poet's Official Facebook Account)

Love comes in small batches

Love comes in small batches of torn, crumpled papers stained with perseverance and midnight breakdowns Love comes in heavy bundles of endless calls for survival in a cutthroat jungle dressed as fondly romance Love comes in empty halls that keep the years and filled with unfillable spots donning its own light Love comes in crowded rooms through some piercing looks and warm breaths dictating the atmosphere (or utmost fear) Love comes in a cup of coffee that stirs the tranquility of a holiday morning until the last drop drips off from your second cup

a stellar deception

The stars that you see are dead The sky you stare at does not lie Your eyes see the light's sparkle But not the years it travelled by You wish and hope for music You long for some sweet melody "The song needs your poetry" That is what was told to me But The song needs words I cannot weave My poetry is not the sword To the shield of your melody The stars do not shine at all And oceans do not have a line I could just write you a poem But I can never write you a song (Because suspicions and doubts always thrive on the surface)

May mga umagang 'di ako nagkakape Walang init na gumuguhit sa lalamunan Tutungo sa banyo, may alampay na tuwalya Ang isip ay tila saranggolang walang pisi Hanggang matapos Nagpatuyo. Nagbihis. Nag-ayos. Pipilitin ang mukhang maging handa Papantayin ang kilay Kukulayan ang mga labi Tapos ngingiti. Hahanapin ang selpon  Ihahanda ang laptop Babatak muli sa paghubog  Babagtasin ang mga kalsada ng internet Tutusok muli ng mga isipang hilaw pa sa mundo Magpapaka-paos Magpapaka-pawis Magpapaka-pagod Magpapaka-dalubhasa Bibihisan ang mga hubad na isipan Pakikilusin ang mga tinatamad pang mga kamay Pupukawin ang mga mapanuklas na mata Hahayaan silang maglaro sa kalawakan ng kanilang imahinasyon Tiya-tiyagain ang aandap-andap na koneksyon Higit sa lahat Susuungin ang maghapon Makikibaka sa init at ingay  Ng sabay-sabay na tanong Ng sunud sunod na sumbong Ng lahat ng elemento Na siyang bumubuo ng aking araw Ng aking buwan Ng aking taon Ng aking buhay Ng buo kong buhay Ito ang aking ...
