There will be a single spark of light.
But not from the stars. Because even them,
they have shied away and have forgotten.
Here, only from my birthday candle
casting shadows waltzing the wall
and the chilly wind whistling a tune,
sending wisps of wishes, for tonight.
While the rest of the world snoozes
in its deafening silence. Getting used
with the normalcy of [...]

It’s odd to see a cow
grazing in the fields of gold.
I wonder how they chew
the sun-bleached blades of grass?
Wearing a pair of green-
tinted sunglass.
It’s odd to witness a bird
perched on a concrete sill.
A shred of plastic
on its ashen beak.
I wonder. Isn’t the bird
building a synthetic nest?
It’s odd, then I wonder.
How life forms into a breed
evolving [...]

I came from the east
And you from the west.
The space between us
is an empty canvas.
Our footsteps were
unsure scribbling of lines.
Our lives were
charcoal grey sketches.
Our beings were
liquid pigments, pressed
out of tube-like existence.
Paint the words
written by fate.
Our union pre-destined.
Our spirits would soon
penetrate this world,
transforming our bond
from this obscure surface.
Like criss-crossing layers
of texture and dimension.
Your blood. And my [...]

Two nights ago, I tossed left and right in my bed , restless and not knowing what I have been missing these past few days. Isolation takes a toll and there are days that I can’t bear the reclusivity. Those were the days when I felt that I don’t differ to the things you can find [...]

I once had the chance to swim the Pasig River when I was just about five or six, I guess. An uncle, who was a robust teenager that time, invited by his friends, tagged me along with him one afternoon. We walked across J.P Rizal street and descended some flight of steps going to the [...]

Pensive as I was in this lazy afternoon. Looking out in the window and the hazy light filtered through. Sending dust like a strobe of crystals. I stared. Just stared for the longest time.
The muse didn’t come as I expected. Like an acrylic tube on the verge of squeezing out of its contents, I just [...]

Three years. One hundred blogposts. From country music to a foggy day rounded up three years of cent-worth of personal ramblings on life.
At first, I only intended to try the blog feature of Friendster just for self-expression. To speak up my mind more intimately on things we often neglect and have taken for granted.
I am [...]

I watched.
Amazed of the cold faces
Of concrete alighted
Bursting in an orange flame,
as the dust wafted
In the chilled morning air.
There in the distance,
the cadence of sleepy
glazed eyes of towers
Sparkles like goblets
Scraping the sky.
The narrow street
Came to life, one by one
Bloodstream of people
Slowly lining up the busy
Artery of the city.
Soon this numb feet
will drag along
with the [...]

Perhaps, Teofi
the promises of your future withers too soon
like the leaf falling early in the summer
where we frolicked in the fountain of our energies;
and bask in the heat of our freedom;
and in the nest of fermenting dreams with another human.
I can tell Teofi, how sad is the early goodbye
where you breathed your last and [...]
