Salamin
Maraming istorya ang hinabi ng matatanda. Isa na dito ang pagtingin sa salamin hawak ang isang kandila sa hating-gabi ng kabilugan ng buwan. Ayon sa kwento, ang isang pangitain ay maaaring maaninag sa salamin na magpapakita ng iyong kapalaran. Maaaring isang tao na magiging bahagi ng iyong bukas. Ngunit sa kabila nito ay may naka ….

Attic
I welcomed you and you were blind, You’ve opened places That were once shut- You broke rules and I, just watched you from behind. Take me away into your madness, I no longer fear nor run, Roam and decipher, Live and wander, Within the attic of my (your) mind. -Cricket
Mirrors
Mirror, mirror on the wall, You are the fairest of them all- Your soul has brightness, resonates, Envious moonlight seals our fate. I lit a candle in the dark, Shot an arrow, missed the mark, Mirror, mirror can’t you see? I see you, and I see me. Mirror, mirror now I know, Your heart is …. Read More
Today
Something light, something sweet; something that makes me smile – Coffee beans and laughter, happy-ever-afters, unforgotten summer. A robin passed by and chirped, the song reminded me of that week; Something witty, something unique, Something uplifting, intellectual mystique. I close the book with a wish, on bleak days like these- All I need are coffee …. Read More
Until We Part
Until We Part Drifting souls, bodies gone, Unspoken words, songs undone, Traces forever etched, Left too soon, wicked pride. hearts that ebbed, Minds collide Not quite, not quite, unbroken thread, Until we part, in life, in death. “Infinite. Unbroken. Into the hands of God.” (One for the road, Monday.) -cricket
The Room
Across the room he looks at her. The silence was almost unbearable. She fidgeted on her seat, searching inside her purse to avoid the conversation. She was never one who liked attention. The rain poured. She wondered how she got to where she was that day. It was both a desperate search to mend her lack …. Read More
Unspoken
Spill it out, spill it out, Your mind is a drought. Sleep has no room in the wars of the heart; No justice in silence, no cure in fear- No healing, no mercy, just your silent tears, shadows are hiding what’s in the loom; When flowers are dying, and dead in the bloom – all that’s left is ….

Age of Wisdom
I have gotten old, I have gotten old, My soul though aged, is loudly bold, I can shout at my demons, and make them fold, Spin my emotions into threads of gold. The sag on my face is a work of art, My arms are drooping, but my spirit’s stout, I know I can dream, when …. Read More
Patlang – Void
Paano ba sukatin ang lalim ng dagat? Ilang oras ba ang kailangan gugulin upang magmahal? Isa? Dalawa? Tatlo? Isang Araw ba? Upang malaman na totoo at wagas? O dalawampung taon, dalawang dekada? O isang kisapmata? – When a lifetime unfolds before your eyes in seconds. Filling the void. I saw it and everything faded in …. Read More
Sand
I held you in my hand, you were weak, slipped through, like a thunder streak, vanished from my sight, pain, our plight, you are me and I, you, mirrors, breathing the same air, longing for the same dream, each night we reenact, and renew our pact, that was written, a million light years, of ….
