walking in the path of enlightenment,
I choose to change;
not for my satisfaction
but for your very smile.

one step at a time.
The smoky structure of forgotten dreams,
buried in the breath of lost denial
Stealing from sleep what life rebukes
—disguising what the coming dawn reviles

(Dreamsleep: November, 2021)
Value yourself because in this world full of cheap and worthlessness,   only you can see your self worth
Kung ako'y mawawala
Iiyak ka kaya?
Kung ako'y mawawala
Ako ba'y iyong kalilimutan
Ibubulong nalang sa hangin
Paagusin sa dagat ng mga bituin
Kung bigla mang sumagi saiyong isipan
Ang aking pangalan
Salamat aking Kaibigan
I’m not broken
Just dinted

I’m not burning
Just scorched

I’m not shattered
Just splintered

I’m not dying
Just hurt
I breathe in your fragrance
I blow out a field of freesias and forget me nots
I catch your smile with my hand
and release swallows and sunsets
I turn your eyes into stars
the night your sweetest silence
Friends come and go at whim
but blood flows freely beneath the skin
Pins upon my pillow
puncturing my brain
Sprinkling out my dreams
like sleeping in the rain
Flowing out my nightmares
Rivers run in my bed
Swimming in my dreaming
Plugging holes in my head
My mattress is floating
My soul is sinking slow
Down the river drowning
and in my dreams, I row…row… row…
Today I forgot
the very thing I lost
I forgot I lost it
I forgot what it was

Tomorrow I found
in my memory tossed
what was not there
where all along
it never was

your maple syrup words
the deepest green in your eyes
the points of your antlers in my thighs
the predator becoming the one who dies.
