Poem: "Ikaw Ang Mundo Ko - (You Are My World)"

"Ikaw Ang Mundo Ko - (You are My World)"

Your smile is like the sun
that warms the corners of
my cold heart

If forever lies waiting
ikaw ang pag-ibig ko talaga
it's hard to imagine being here
without you near me

All the beauty on earth
and all the angels in heaven's sky
pale beside you

Mahal na mahal kita talaga
tayo lang
walang iba
walang iba

Poem: "Oh, Little Stones"

"Oh, Little Stones"

I dream of you
and fade away
until the breath
dissipates
in the morning
of the maddening sun

Walk along
a lonely road
pictures of
the past
unswept
under the floor
of our lies

In the silence
of the dying
the little stones are
thrown
into the willow pond

Never to return..

Poem: "Running Towards"

"Running Towards"

The sunlight in your face
how I long to catch it in a bottle
and take with me
where ever I go

It won't be long now
The days seep into one another
wet with anticipation
the song grows silently

The beauty that is you
sweet on my lips
forbids me to dare sleep
because I need you so

This fragrant spiral that our love
has now become
I am watching now
with eyes wide, heart open

Running towards the forever
with you.

Poem: "Breathe Again"

"Breathe Again"


The warmth of sunlight
on your perfect skin
the way your eyes light up
when they gaze into mine
the moment of forever
as I lay here next to you

The small things we share
words left unsaid
as you sleep your arms
draped across my naked chest

A small sigh of contentment escapes
and for the first time in a while
I can breathe again.

Poem: "Trace"

"Trace"

Forever is a desperate lie
that we tell ourselves
to try and fix the million pinpricks
threatening to burn our corneas

This almost was
is nothing
but a boiling pot
of disappointment

The quiet darkness
that pierces my restless underbelly
of well-intentioned self-loathing
is the only real thing I have left

To cling to
amidst the deafening roar
of the tides
rising in my bleeding ears

As I lie motionless on the ground
waiting for you to deliver
the mortal blow.

Poem: "Only We"

"Only We"

The stars in all their glory
dance in the sky
above us

As my hand trembles
caught in the moment
as I take yours
without a word

I wanna hold you
like a second skin
I wanna drink you
like wine

I wanna sing along
to the chorus
of our beating hearts
watching the leaves drift off
in the wind

I long for the time
where your kiss
will linger upon my lips
and nothing remains

Only we and where we
were always meant to be.

Poem: "The Day That Never Was"

"The Day That Never Was"

The tears have nearly dried
the rays of the day sun has faded
whispers between the sheets
the heart has gone cold

As memories cling desperately
to the corners of the mind
I long to reach out
to find you beside me again

But the silence
is deafening
goodbye is nothing more
than a grinding of teeth
and clenching of fists.
