Period
Being born in the Era of Men's Ego is a curse.
Patriarchal societies fucking up both men and women's well being.
In this age of knowledge,
Most of us still thinks like barbarians
That woman are for carrying our next line of offspring
And men should be strong and tears are for the weak.
With all our discovery and so called progress
Aren't we suppose to be passed that?
Why would we get hooked in all these unjustness?
Why do we tend to undermine those who are doing well just so we can cope with what we lack?
These idle thoughts of excessive...

Favorite Sunday
When was the last time my heart felt free?
It was too long ago that I've forgotten how it truly feels.
When was the last time I had a decent conversation?
The feeling of not holding back because I'm too afraid of being judged.
When was it?
The last time I was truly honest with myself?
Facing pain regardless if I inflicted it or was inflicted by people i cared of.
When was the last time I chose to forgive myself?
To not be defined by my past and my sins.
All these whens and could have idle thoughts materializing.
Somehow I am able to...

To the girl who bought me flowers
In life no matter how much you adore people,
Even with all your attention,
Your loved poured out even when you were on the brink of forgetting the importance of loving yourself.
Some if not most will tend to forget you,
Will deny everything that you did for them,
Will turn a blind eye for a single mistake over the countless good things that you were to them.
But you know what, you can let people be assholes.
As long as you keep your kind and gentle heart.
In this life, people are sometimes right, but also they can be wrong.
Be kind with yourself....

Learning from you
As I went through a sleepless night,
A surge of unwanted thoughts and memories came pouring down.
Like rain occurring in the Tundra
Or drought in the sands of the desert.
That's the kind of disruption you've made me.
Although I was at fault too.
For not seeing the Devil hidden behind your angelic smile.
How could you say that you loved me?
When your eyes were all glued all over him.
Did you thought that I'll never see through that façade of yours?
Where you were with me, but your heart was somewhere else?
Or when you were...
A surge of unwanted thoughts and memories came pouring down.

Painting Feelings
With all the laws of the earth
She had created life, love and Heart.
On one large big old plain canvas,
Colors were extraordinary,
Curves were mesmerizing,
And line were beyond limitless.
Her work of art is not as bold as the paintings of
the Sistine chapel. But her spirit is just as compelling
as Michael Angelo's.
She did not want to leave the Earth to be grieved upon.
Her heart was never set to find rewards or paradise.
Her soul never learn to surrender.
She fought battles.
Not with shields and swords.
Nor...

While I was sleeping
Who would’ve that in the chaos of the Earth, I would still find it easy to sleep,
With all the noise bickering the horizon, I was still at peace.
Amidst people who talk behind my back, my heart beats steadily.
Rgardless of how pitch black my thoughts were, my mind was at ease.
Even with all those things.
It did not bother me so.
For I am settled in
Tucked in safely
Where you lie beside me.
Where I find your voice so angelic that I can barely hear all the chaos,
Where I have no time to be restless, because your touch had...

Dear universe
Dear Universe
He cried
He pleaded
Don' t ever let our paths crossed again
If it will only cause us pain
You may block all the roads,
and Cut all corners
that will lead to her.
For as long as I will not cause her pain,
I am fine with that.

Your mark
Never let it end here
Dont let it be over just yet
Hold on to it
What keeps you alive.
Leave your mark
Leave your print
Leave a trace of your existence
Right after
You move along.
Dont let it be over just yet
Hold on to it
What keeps you alive.
Leave your mark
Leave your print
Leave a trace of your existence
Right after
You move along.

Elegance of your tears
Tears came building up
They did not fall
as she tried to hold them from doing so
in even her saddest form
Those tears in her eyes
they glimmer like polished gems
trying to be as strong as she can be
that moment right there
It was beautiful
An instance of elegance
mix emotions while it lasts
They did not fall
as she tried to hold them from doing so
in even her saddest form
Those tears in her eyes
they glimmer like polished gems
trying to be as strong as she can be
that moment right there
It was beautiful
An instance of elegance
mix emotions while it lasts

Let you be your own
For her psyche
Is normal to be on her own.
It never was a norm,
For her to be a open book
Her passages are of common.
However, meanings of her thoughts differ
from what others are used to.
How many days weeks or years even,
Of practice,
Of being alone,
Not forcibly.
But circumstances that put your heart to practice a life of solitude.
Where its been so lonely,
And tiresome.
How much pain did you had to endure to finally reach out.
Love,
Be proud that you did made it.
For you’ve mustered every once of courage....
Is normal to be on her own.

Distance of days
You'll see her in three days
They said.
Its hasn't even been a day.
However, it felt longer than the years
they've been apart.
The need to be with her,
Its piercing him.
Not like a knife,
But like water
Gushing through the rocks.
Slowly,
Softening what was once solid matter.
His heart is caving in.
Uncertain of the suddenness of everything
he felt for her.
He then prays to recover
For he believes that they will be both okay.
In three days
He said
I get to see you
He added

Savoring emotions
Get lost,
Uncover what cant be found in you.
Savor every feeling for those will not last,
just like being broken,
pain may hurt
but what doesn't?
Feel it,
embrace what you couldn't,
then take a step forward.
And you will grow
And one day,
you'll heal.
Uncover what cant be found in you.
Savor every feeling for those will not last,
just like being broken,
pain may hurt
but what doesn't?
Feel it,
embrace what you couldn't,
then take a step forward.
And you will grow
And one day,
you'll heal.
