Paglayag

Tama na ang pagsisisi
At ang pagmumukmok
Lahat ng bagay ay may takdang panahon
At panahon nang lumaya

Tuyo na ang lahat ng iyong luha
At matigas na ang iyong mukha
Kinalimutan mo na ang pait ng iyong mga laban
Nagliliyab ang iyong mga mata

Ngayong wala ka nang iiwanan
At ang hinaharap mo ang tangi mong kailangan
Lumayag
At wag ka nang lumingon sa nakaraan

Spell

When the mermaid cries
I fall in love with her song
Fall into the sea

30 second wish

Pictures speak to me
I should have taken the chance
We're left worlds apart

Transition

I walk down an empty street. Noises echo through the dark. Creatures sprawl in the shadows as their eyes watch me move down a solitaire path. They sing a weary tone. They murmur.

The ground is wet from a bit of rain leaving the air with a particular smell. The wind takes the trees for a dance. A whirlwind song: it whistles and whispers, whistles and whispers.

I keep to myself, not giving it to the cold or my cautious audience. I plant my hands deeper into my pockets and walk a little faster. And as to keep up with my pace, the leaves grow louder, they rustle stronger. The wind sings its ballad for the night.

Line

Waiting for someone at the other end
Feeding on an addiction
Slow motion
Dark and tired eyes
Twitching, longing
Bit lips, dry mouth
Mentally moving
Wet eyes
Falling
Sleeping to dream

The haunting

Visits in the night
That fade as the sun rises
Keep me wanting more

Reunion

I was aghast. I clammed up. I couldn’t think of anything else but her being there. I couldn’t think. I knew she was going to come. She said she was going to go. She did. And she was there. Memories of five years past came rushing back. It was her.

It’s baggage. These are the things you weren’t able to do and you want to prove that you can do something about it. It’s baggage. Get rid of it. Get it over with.
