It has been a while
since I wrote
something
about love.
Days have passed
without a single word
about heartbeats
and heartaches.
Have I lost
my desire
to put it down
in poems?
Have I lost
interest
in painting
romantic
portraits
and landscapes
through
letters
and punctuations?
Absurd.
Strange.
Weird.
Though
deep
down
within me,
love's
flames
continue
to burn
I
still
have
nothing
to write
about
you.
Uninspired
-Nah.
Apathetic
-No.
Frigid
-Never.
Questions
I have asked.
Answers
I have seeked.
Yet
still
I
have
nothing
to write
about
you.
All
I
know
is that
each
passing
day
my soul
br
One by one
the stars
of the night's sky
reminded me
of our escapades..
Moments
we stole
from the clutches
of the evening mist.
Seconds
that make
us forget
even
the night's
cold breeze.
You
are
my
aviary.
The
majestic sky
where my wings
soar free..
The
every
note
of my soul's
crying song.
And
as our lips
adored
the simplicity
of our nakedness..
Under the warmth
of these blankets
My soul
will reach out
for the tenderness
of your embrace.
My being
will long for
the gentleness
of your kiss.
Be with me..
Come
to
me..
Please..
Please me..
Fill my empty self
with your own soul.
Fill me
with your re
I.
A jester.
A writer.
An actor.
Love.
A lie.
A joke.
A prank.
You.
A plead.
A desire.
A confession.
So when I told you
these three words,
"I love you"
It wasn't
a prank.
-It was
my plead.
It wasn't
a joke.
-It was
my desire.
It wasn't
a lie.
-It was
my confession.

the beautiful has their own way of destroying those that love them, blinding them with its searing light.
it has been known to render the senses useless, cause an overwhelming sense of yearning, induce pain, create madness, destroy reason. power is gained and lost in a mere glance at beauty. time stops, and the vaunted laws of physics are warped at the approach of the divine.
let's just say that i have witnessed an episode of such last night. approaching midnight, a shining beacon of light appeared not far from where i was, a heavenly light whose dazzling charm i have suffered to resist for some time.
until now.
"hey, are you goin
I
am
spending
my life
living
under the shadow
of my belief
that I
need
you.
You are
a thirst
I cannot quench.
An addiction
I cannot forget.
But
you are bad
for me.
You are
a first class cigar.
A threat
to my health.
A risk
to my well being.
And as I consume
every inch of you,
I fuse your poison
to my soul.
So is it wrong
to believe
that I need you
in my life?
Is it wrong
to believe
that inhaling you
reduces stress?
Is it wrong
to smoke you
religiously
after every meal?
Is it all in my head?
And though it may all be
my empty beliefs,
though it may just be
my lame attempts
to justify these reasons,
As the clock
ticks away,
tears form
in my heart
and hope escapes
from my eyes.
Every minute
is a step
closer to depression.
Every second
is a wound
that weakens
my motivation.
I am pressured
by a thousand words
that I haven't said to you.
I am conquered
by my fear
of regretting
what I have to do.
Now that I stand
at a crossroad
between
confessing it
and losing you
or
hiding it
and keeping you,
my heart becomes
an hourglass
and my love becomes
its sand.
For the more
the end draws near,
the more
my feelings grow.
And at the sound
of the alarm
that signals
the beginning
of your journey,
I will drown
in m
Tonight,
my tears
will blanket
the sky,
my sorrow
will darken
the corners of heaven
and my longing
will echo
across the moonless night.
Tonight I will depart
from this existence
and like meteors
our memories
will leave a trail
of bittersweet moments.
I will be missing you
and I know
I always will.
For in the darkness
of oblivion,
your smile was
my Polaris.
My star whose light
was brighter
than anything else.
My comfort.
My sanctuary.
My Eden.
And as my tears
blanket
the sky
tonight,
I will brave
my greatest fear.
That before the strike
of sunlight's rays,
I will not lose my star
to my fear of loving her
Lately, I've been thinking of things that I should do.
I told you that I love you so I have to prove it's true.
Even though you'll be leaving and will be working abroad.
Somehow I must show you that this isn't fraud.
Fate will be bringing you to a land far from here.
On that day I know that I may never see you near.
Reality is cruel and each day your flight comes closer.
Lonely I will be but what I'll say next you must remember.
"I may not have forever to prove my heart's intent.
And I may fail to show you how much your smile meant.
Reality may stop me from seeing you everyday,
Still, I'll go on loving you though you may never look
Under the rain,
I lower
my head
as I walk
watching
my sneakers
catch
the tears
that fall
from my eyes.
My world
is immersed
in shades of gray,
a grotesque
landscape of reality
where love is nothing
but a blurred image
of the girl I secretly admire.
If only
I have the courage
to tell her
how she brought hope
to my dying heart
then this rain
would stop falling.
Then she would
finally understand
that this isn't a poem
but a revelation
of what I really feel.
That this man she calls
"emo"
found
his motivation
in her..
And as I walk
under this rain
of hesitations
and indecisions,
please put malice
upon this w
Soon,
the stars
will fade
like the notes
of my love song.
A tragedy
whose soundtrack
will capture
the grief
of my lost soul.
Holding
my own hand,
I will sigh
in remorse
as my dream
gradually
approaches its end.
In a few weeks,
my apocalyptic
nightmare
will be a reality.
An inevitable
horror
where my life
and my heart
will shatter
like the dashboard
of a car
hitting a brick wall.
You will be
saying farewell.
And I know
that no matter
how much
I want to stop
this cheapshot
of fate,
I will still fail
because I am only
a mortal.
So to the Divine Providence,
I will voice out
this hymn of mercy,
that on th
