Daydream Illusion
A Glimpse Into My Soul
This is my English poetry page. Poetry is my favorite literary genre (si Anj kasi, masyadong senti). WARNING: major sap and (hopefully) thought-provoking (IF you want to think, of course I can't guarantee that you actually know HOW to think... shoke hahaha).

imperfect prisons are words
for thoughts our minds breathe freely
like stringing clouds on nylon cord
to wear around throat choking hard
on rain turned bitter left to stand
too long in hollow eyes
(when tears fall they'll be cold
it'll seem like bleeding)
how my voice sounds in your ears
is someone else's voice to me
when I've chained bubbles down earth-bound
I'll have made you understand

*Last Dance*
Sometimes I feel I'm forgetting you
On brightlit nights when the world seems perfect
A smile falls, but it is a cold one
It's always the same,
never quite like before.
The music is loud
But only to keep
Myself from drowning
In the silent vacuum
Of the heart you left
It's always the same,
never quite like before.
One candle in the dark
Led the last dance for us
On the night when the stars
Slipped down to play with mortal souls
It's always the same,
never quite like before.
Walk in
see her sit alone
Biting into the apple red
While reading this poem
She downs her iced tea
With one eye on the book.
She is me; I see myself
Sitting alone
I bite into the apple red
While reading this poem
I down my iced tea
With one eye on the book.

*Prayer at 2 AM*
Dear Lord, it's 2 am
I want to go back
to sleep
My thoughts sound fragmented
to me as though
I were four people praying
I wish to return
to dream of when
Blue jeans and white shirt was
the only uniform I had
to Know
and I could laugh
being Myself
and nothing Else.

Even poetry of the loveliest sort
cannot capture beauty entirely
Though one might try
As with catching bubbles
with butterfly nets
To display in glass bottles...

*Waiting*
I never knew it possible
to slash the smile
from someone's lips
Until today.
Tears come, not redeeming the sunlight
But hastening the darkness
with the crimson stain
of blood
My blood.
No longer pure silver ripples
from sorrow or happiness
They are a dark rain
falling from emptiness
A void deeper than death
Claws at my being
Suspended in (the box of) Waiting...
*Farewell*
Alone on my path
Journey hardly begun
I hear nothing
But my footsteps
The sky weeps diamonds
Caressing the soil,
Kissing the air
Breathing in the stars
May the sun
Hide not its face
From you who
Desires its warmth
Let God's angels
Guide your hands
And cradle you
While you sleep
Farewell, dearest friend
Please do remember
I desire nothing
But your happiness
Be strong,
Know I love you
And someone cares
And it all matters.

I dreamt I saw you dancing
Amid flames that burned like ice
Your eyes lamps waiting to be lit
By the blaze of understanding
You thirst not for water
But for a fire that consumes completely
Pull me into the dance
Teach me what I could never so
Make me see what I would not
With you, only you
