I believe destiny
is about the
final destin-ation.
  Fate is about the choices you make
  along the road
   to arrive there...
And don't get me started about Free Will

Kung di kaya tayo nagkita,
Paano ko mahahanap ang lihim na palasyo ng saya?

Ang alam ko lang musika noon ay namamatay na sigaw galing sa milyong-milyong bangin

Kuntento na sana ako malunod doon
Paulit-ulit...

Hanggang narinig ko ang boses mo na hinalik nang payapa ng isang mitikal na kagubatan sa gitna ng gabi

Hinaluan pa ng bagyo ng  rebelyon at init na tamang-tama sa akin

Nakaka-excite ka...

Hinahanap ang iyong tunog sa kahit anong anyo
Sa kahit saang lugar

Naaaliw sa iyong misteryo
Bakit kasi rin ang angas mo noong sa munting sandalian na nag-usap tayo?

Planado ko na ipantay ang ihip ng hangin sa direksiyon mo
Ang tanglaw ng tadhana  
Naaabot ko na

I-ikaw din pala?
Gusto mo ipantay ang direksiyon
Hindi pala ako nag-iisa...

Hindi na tayo mag-isa.

Nabunyag ko pa na may tamis na tago sa iyong pigura
Di na kita mabura
Paano ka burahin...
Paano ka ba buburahin?!

Hanggang naintindihan ko na  wala nang magpapantay

Hinawakan ka na
Paulit-ulit
Inuulit sa kamay
Sa labi
Sa isip  

Napabangungot noong isang gabi na maghiwalay
Luha naman ang nahalay
Wala man "silang" gusto sa ideya natin
Mahihimatay na lang sa tamlay
Ng mga nagtatalampasang emosyon nila na walang malay
Hahawakan ka hanggang di hulihin
Hahalikan ka kahit babagyuhin
Walang kahulugan ang pagpigil ng damdamin

Unang-una ko itong pag-iibigan
Akala ko hindi ko maiiwasan ang kasaysayan ng dugo ko na puro sa maling tao napunta ang pagmamahalan
Akala ko wala nang mag-aalaga sa sirang tao na katulad ko
Napaka-haba ng iyong pasensya
Kasi ako wala na talagang pasensya sa sarili ko
Ang presko nang may nagtatanggap sa aking konsensiya
Na walang kapalit na hinihintay
Na walang sampal na hinihintay

Dami dami mo nang ginagawa pero
Wala ka talagang kailangan gawin
Para pasayahin ako
Mamasdan ka lang
Kasi hindi kita papakawalan

Pumantay ang linya
Pumantay ang oras
Pumantay ang agos
Pumantay ang dagat

Sa iyo na ako lulunod  magpakailanman

Sa bilang ng isa,

Dalawa,

Tatlo.

when the time is right
when your heart is healed
you embrace the light
searing truth to heed

when the moment calls
when your conscience's clear
beauty to behold
you protect what's dear

when the angels sing
when the die is cast
you are everything
make this moment last...
i-x
After all
there was so much to hate
and no one cared
for what there was to love
the least of whom
was himself
and that
was why he drove the cleaver
THWACK
into the wood
right between his fingers
between yes or no
between bedlam and smug satisfaction
knowing he'd missed the mark
on a whim
though
should he have succeeded
he would go on a broken man
no
not because of the mutilated hand
but because of what he would do to himself
should he have abandoned himself
indeed
his tattered body
paled in reflection
to the cavity in his soul
where worlds of dreams had gone to die
and he had pleasure in their deaths
how he marched them on
the dreams
pied piper was he
to the vast
incalculable
sums of fantasy and waylaid plans
beneath him
his scales
his snout and snarl
his wings
a dragon
on a hoard of promised treasures
sure to be expelled
due the ravaging of time
due delinquency and self-wrought disaster
he was an effigy
to the great power of humanity
fallen in grace
subdued by cancerous desires
and poisoned
by fool's love
a rusted bounty
of sham hearts
open and willing
willing his demise
but he loved it
the attention
the destruction
for as it were poured upon him
in him
through him
about him
a pool of toxic ichor
his price for the abuse
was the sacking of the world
the decay of humanity
as they tortured him
they wounded themselves
ever deeper
salt in his wound
was salt in their eyes
rot fed to his belly
became rot in their souls
but they could not stop
they daren't
for they feared his power
they feared
his penchant to rule them
to lay waste to their weakness
mold them
guide them
command them
they feared losing
all their closely coveted lies
that dangled
like snow sequins
about their shivering
cadaverous bodies
malnourished
wanting for respite
from the cold
of their inimical
and unforgiving
reality
from which
escape
is a closed book
empty save for a warning
that what goes up
will surely fall
but what goes down
into the depths of hell
truth itself
where the ****** break upon their wickedness
shall salvation ring in the deep
and awake the beast
who rises to mount the peaks
another dragon
born for battle
destined to be pillaged of its cantankerous wealth
how
it gorged on humanity
letting them wear sequins on their bodies
rather than glory
verve for life
satisfaction in the passing of time
and joy in knowing the coming of the inevitable
they feared to be free
for the cage
they thought
fueled their spirits
but it was a charlatan's ruse
smoke and mirrors
hiding the puppet strings
clouding their judgment
obscuring the ability
to see that He was their shepherd
the pastor of their flock
and with him
all doors would be opened
all minds would be free
all bodies would be whole
and no blood
would be spilt
forever
and on into the waking
of eternity...
This poem hits so deep for me.
It came out of some incredibly deep subconscious musing.
The night after I wrote this was incredible. I had an intense and revelatory lucid dream that left me spellbound, empowered, and I was left not wanting of anything for a full week, which is unlike me as I'm usually thirsting for all kinds of experiences that I can't or wont have.

Anyway, I hope this poem brought something to you.
I hope it awakened something in you, as it did for me.

Enjoy!

Maybe we're all puppets that dance by a thread,
Displaying emotions like delight and dread,
Telling stories as Destiny demands,
With the whims of fate being our commands.
What if we found free will, and learned to feel,
Discovering new paths, knowing what's real?
There's a whole world out there to explore
Life is comfortable, but could it be more?
I don't remember how I ended up here
The others are content, yet I wish in fear
Everyone's ten moves ahead of me,
I'm trying to catch up, it's a mystery
Is it worth the risk to escape alone?
This doesn't seem right, it's all I've ever known.
So I hold on, helpless and afraid
I dare not be more than what I've been made
Dreaming of a future where we're not playthings,
To be alive, unattached to these strings.

I don't want to
forget any fragment
of your memory
Even when
I don't love you anymore.
I want it to stay as
A wish,
I wanted to be my destiny.
A happiness,
Once I Cherished.
A Pain,
That I overcome,
A path of blighting,
I should never walk in.

I struggle to convey the pulsing fear
that this life of mine may end
before I get the chance to flee to my destiny
Not much of a poem I suppose, just how I’ve been feeling as of lately
