She

Is she too found?

That lost souls go by dumbfounded

Is she too bright?

That darkness find it attractive

Is she too good?

That verity find it too false

Is she too defined?

That the Hades cannot fathom

For when souls are lost,

She paved them a road.

For when the night is dark,

She showed him the stars.

For when the lies prevail,

She fought for the truth.

For when the hook is at sight,

She carried you home.

Paano ka makasisiguro na ikaw, at hindi siya?
Na para sayo, at hindi para sa kaniya?

Paano mo malalaman na ang tao,
at hindi lamang pangalan ang pinapalitan?

Trust to a Hundred

Is it ever wrong to ask
Reveal you face. Unmask.
What an undaunted task
Lax

Untie yourself.
Unguard your walls.
Unarm completely.
Surrender!

Open up.
lay
     it
        down.
Give it ALL.
Or pay the price.

Trust
Should it really be a hundred
Will it rust
When truth you let, unhaunted.

The Last One to Say Good Night

When the night is deep
You are nothing but tired and restless.
Conversations are good;
It peaks then it fades.
As the night dives deeper
It all cuts short.

S i l e n c e.

Nothing but two lines
Connecting different places.
Connecting two lives.
Two souls.
Both are tired and restless.
Silence remains.
Constant.
But something is unbalanced.
It peaks then it halts.
One wide awake.
One shut good night.

Good night then.

Nawawala

Takot na takot ka na naman.
Tuloy-tuloy sa araw-araw
pero ang isip mo'y naglalakbay.
Naghahanap ng patunay.

Litong-lito ka na ba?
Hindi alam anong gagawin,
hindi alam kung saan pupunta.
Hindi alam kung tama pa.

Paano na ang gagawin ko?
Saan ba talaga dapat tumakbo?
Kakanan ba o hindi na liliko?
Kanino dapat na yumuko?

Paulit-ulit ka ng lumuluhod,
pero bakit hindi sumasakit ang tuhod?
Napakikinggann pa kaya ang pagsusumamo?
Bakit hindi makalirip ni isang tugon?

Nagtataka na ang puso ko.
Kulang ba ako sa pangako?
O baka naman paulit-ulit sa pagpako?
Anong dapat upang muling maako?

Saan ba ako dapat maghanap?
Taas, baba, loob at labas
Bakit hindi makita ang hinahanap?
Nag-iisang wala sa hinagap.

Umaasa ba ako sa wala?
Naririnig pa kaya aking mga talata?
O sadyang ang sagot ay hindi at wala?
Hindi makuntento, ako'y nawawala.

Luminary

A firefly.
In the midst of darkness.
On top of a tree.

A star.
In the midst of darkness.
Floating in eternity.

A candle.
In the midst of darkness.
Saving who cannot see.

What are you?
In the midst of darkness.
You make me want to be me.
