An Ode to A Beloved Friend
When I first held you, you squirmed and wiggled. The fur on your face covered your button-like nose. I feel lucky to own a beautiful terrier dog, even if we cannot afford you (because you were a gift). I know that in the past few days, I was so busy at work and life …. Read More
Phantom of Dreams
This is really unusual and I cannot put it behind me. I already knew when tears came out of my eyes, and for no reason I wept. Writing the letters of your name on a canvas where I drew your face. I am not like this, and it has never occurred to me that something …. Read More
Telepono
“Answering Machine”- Isang Nakakatawang Nakakainis na Pangyayari” Nag aral kami ng mga “spiel” para sagutin ang telepono ng tama. “Standardized” ika nga, para maayos ang dating sa mga customer ng kumpanya. Syempre, kuntodo practice kami at madalas kaysa minsan ay preparado sa pagsagot. Kahit sino sa kumpanya ay “required” na sumagot ng maayos, at kailangan …. Read More

Without Words
I just know, flowers on this bed, I was once cold and dead, you waked me. The storm isn’t over, it brews and I shatter, into a million splinters of hope. Invisible thread, weaved into my head. as the heart bled. Just a look, a sigh, one breathe. Til the ends of this earth, I am not …. Read More
Gotham
A city full of thoughts, inside my head, can barely breathe, stupified by what? Fear, love, both? Happiness and sadness, a bad combination, I shouldn’t have let the darkness eat my soul- But the lights, the city lights, are too beautiful to ignore. Pain when night is gone.
