Thank You

Oct 2016 damsel in distress

Idiosyncrasy

Thanks for bringing back
the smile on my face
the music in my laughter
the sun in my world
the stars in my sky
the love in my heart
Thanks for bringing me back to life.

For yesterday and today M.
Nagmahal. Nasaktan. Nagdebate.

Idiosyncrasy

Defined

When a person is loved
That doesn't define him
But I wish my love defines you
Or at least tell you this
You don't always have to change for the person you love.

Let my love for you remind you
That you're beautiful
You're strong
And you'll be loved
Because you're you.

Let this great love
Reflect who you really are
Bring out the best in you
Give what you deserve
**Let my love define you.

This powerful love.

Loud

Loud

There are times when I'm with you
That my heart beats so loud
I stop and wonder
If you ever hear it too.

Give it TIME./m/

Movement

Idiosyncrasy

Movement

There are things that haven't moved since you left
Like your favorite mug which still sits on the top shelf
Like your raincoat that still has mud on its hems behind the door
Like the alarm clock on the bedside table, it still rings at 5 a.m.
Like the bill you used to mark the page where you stopped reading
Like the sound of water dripping from the kitchen faucet you always forget to fix
Like the smell of you every time I enter the room
And then there's me, still here, still waiting
I haven't moved since you left.

Home.

I Will

Oct 2016 damsel in distress

Idiosyncrasy

I Will

I'll listen
To your never ending questions about life.

I'll not mind
If every conversation ends with the same thought.

I'll be there
When you need me and even if you don't.

I'll say*
You're beautiful even if you don't believe it.

And when people say that you're a lot of bad things,
Then you need someone to remind you of your goodness
And how much you deserve to be loved,
*I will.

Still/m/. I will rub the temples of your head if you need me to.

Hello, Goodbye

Oct 2016 damsel in distress

Idiosyncrasy

Hello, Goodbye

I welcomed you into my life,
You packed your things leaving nothing behind.

I was waiting, hoping for more time,
You counted every second passing by.

**I said hello,
You said goodbye.

That feeling.

guess who

Idiosyncrasy

guess who

Your hands
Over my eyes
I feel
Your breath
Kissing the back
of my head.

Your hands
Over my eyes
They're cold
But please
Do not let go.

Your hands
Over my eyes
I see nothing
But you fill it
With colors,dyes.

Your hands
Over my eyes
I don't mind
Because now
There's only
...
**You and I.

Stay close please/m/.

Traffic Lights

Oct 2016 damsel in distress

Idiosyncrasy

Traffic Lights

Green light,
I go as fast as I can
As fast as the limits allow
I was trying to reach you
And I like the way the wind enters
Through the open window
I like the rush of emotions
As I take control and lose control,
Loving you feels that way.

And then I watch you
Stop to take someone in
You break rules for that one
I watch as you drive together
I drive alone following you
And then there were lots
Of U turns and bus stops
It became tiring, painful
Yellow light* flashed.

I guess this is where
I should stop before it gets worse
This is where it ends
3...2...1...
*Red light.

I want to stop but I can't. You keep pulling me back.

Nakalimutan ko na

Aug 2016 damsel in distress

Idiosyncrasy

Nakalimutan ko na

Huminga ulit ako nang malalim
Pinipigilan kong pumatak ang aking mga luha
Binasa ko ang mga tulang sinulat ko noon
Binasa ko ang mga tulang nag-iwan ng bakas sa akin.

Wala na, pumatak na ang unang luha
Di ko na maalalang sinulatan kita
At na sa bawat salita ay naiisip ka
Nalimot ko na ang masasaya.

Pumatak ang pangalawa
At tuloy tuloy na ang pagbagsak ng tubig mula sa aking mata
Hindi dahil sa puro sakit at lungkot ang naiwan sa akin
Kundi dahil hindi ko maalalang minahal kita.

At habang binabasa ko ang mga linyang tumutugma
Nagugulo ang isip ko sa mga salitang naisulat pala
Masakit na wala na akong mabalikan
Wala akong alaala at hindi na mauulit ang nakaraan.

Mahirap ang makalimot
Ngunit alam kong mahirap pa ang malimutan
Mahirap ang...
Bakit ko ba sinusulat ito?

Parang nakalimutan ko na ring magsulat.
