Dreaming Dreams With Dreamers Me and You

*the night and fleeting dreams tango.
*whisper to me your Caribbean hopes.
*We’ll cruise the rooftops in twigs
*and twines and sing “i n s o m nia”

as the night falls deeper,
and the wind grows stronger.
hold my hand as the journey goes further.
into the depths of bottomless fathoms,
where dreams and reality meet at the shallows.

*i will suppress tiny fears and let go of giggles.
*we’ll form circles and blow slumber bubbles.
*and when the downpour can’t be stopped, we won’t mind.
*we’ll run mad and leave the lonely world behind.

watch fireflies dance as the owls sing songs that makes you prance,
free yourself from the darkness that surounds your heart and let you soul fly free.
as free as as angels with feathered wings can be.
take my hand and join me, the cliffs, cerulean oceans oversee.
neath that old shady tree.

*if this is a dream of utopia, let me sleep in lengthy days.
*taste the salt on my nape and take me away.
*to that place where gravity does not breathe,
*here we can float and own fins
*and we can let our hearts fall down to clumsy sins.

leave reality behind, and forget justice blind.
travel where the laws no longer apply,
where dragons freely fly.
here, none dare dictate, start our lives anew, clean slate.
together we’ll soar, our days will forever, never be bore

*we’ll take last trips and watch the day strips.
*we’ll lay on misted lawns and write love letters on our palms
*until the swirl of the dawn.
*and if it’s time to move backwards and bid adieu,
*sob no more for in your daydreams, i’ll return to you.

i’ll see you lullabies, as you lay on my lap.
sweet tender words, love as it’s gift wrap.
under the tree, overlooking the sea.
with the birds chirping happily, eagles flying free.

DIWATA

diwata
bituing kumikislap sa’yong mga mata
ngiti’y hugis buwan parang galing sa kalangitan
ako’y nananalangin, sana’y masilayan

diwata
ika’y nais sanang makilala
panalangin sana’y pakinggan ni bathala
makausap at makitang nakatawa

diwata
parang lumilipad na kalapati
kutis na kay puti
kagandaha’y hindi matatangi

diwata
ika’y nais makilala
sana’y dinggin ang panalangin
at ika’y mapasakin

okay! so, it’s a poor attempt to write something in tagalog. But atleast now, i can’t say i haven’t tried. ROFL

oppositions

fear and courage
light and darkness
hope and despair
near and far
you and me
life and death
past and future
have and lost
seen and hidden
confusion and resolve

here and now
wish and want
will and felt
you and me
now and tomorrow

our past was always filled with sorrow
the dawn shines anew, for me and you
the love that has been proven
with you, i found heaven
as the day arises to greet the clouds
my heart beats ever proud
to have met you
kissed you
laid my eyes upon you

you have given me what i have longed for
and though you are more than i can ever hope for
our roads part here, and everything ends, i fear
for we are not fated to spend
our lives till the very end

thank you

as she folded a shirt that i used to wear

i stared into her eyes and saw

those marbles showed content

peace and happiness rolled in one

she always tought of others

never caring what the others tought of her

compassion filled her heart as she rammaged

through boxes ruined by the flood that long since passed

my heart jump as i stared at her

i could not help but be filled with pride

i wished to lift the filled bag that lay

but thought otherwise lest she needed them

walking away, i willed my self to try harder

to calouse these hands and help her

if not, then i will slave away until i do

for the dead stars and a night sky crime

have you ever thought of dead stars,
like wounds that turned into scars?

they shine brightly on a night’s sky,
like a memory that suddenly passes by.
their beauty encompasses the rainbows,
cheers ‘neath hidden sorrow


your eyes dangle with hammocks and fields of childlike wish.
like kites freely thrown by calloused hands as they fly and perish.

your heart yearns for tender flames,
steady and heats your soul to infinity,
consorting you even when apart,
never betraying your heart.

your lips speak no worlds but planets that collide and sink
they kiss crumbs of stardust, blow wishes to that brink
where daffodils and hyacinths grow alike, blooming
wild, young… against the sun, endlessly dancing.

shots of comets pass and fade into the twilight
stars twinkle with passion in your eyes
as darkness enveloped the night
the land is painted by dancing fireflies

we chase them, you with rolled pants, i with swaying skirt
we race with the evening breeze as if our toes never hurt
come hum the blues away, and if the rain falls
together we’ll bask the unknown as the calm calls

as the wind caressed our faces
like silky black and smooth laces
we laughed as the clouds rolled by
together we spread our wings and flew high

and in between dead stars we hid secrets
like scars, like our lives in beautiful snippets.

the stars and the moon became witnesses
that our only crime, is our happiness.
