Beloved

Beloved, you are wanted by this heart that craves
a love like yours that no one else can replace.
Hungry for the quiet bliss that you'll permit
to give this heart that longs for your embrace.
Beloved, that's who you are.
An endearment I will whisper after your name.
A word so simple yet has a world of meanings
but only one name that belongs to my heart.
Beloved, be mine even for a night.
I'll not let you go but wrap you in my arms so tight.
Listen to my heartbeat and hear its tempo
the sound of my love I long to share with you.
Beloved, I will keep my promise
to have patience while I wait
for you to escape the darkness that you are in
and I'll be here to save you when you call my name.

Hulihin ang Oras

Igapos natin ang tumatakbong oras
pigilan ang mga kamay na kumukumpas.
Ihinto ang mga segundong bumubuo ng minuto
para hindi sila magkita ng mga oras na nais lumipas
sa bilin ng mundong patuloy sa pag ikot.
Igapos natin ang oras ng mahigpit
huwang syang palayain 'pagkat ito'y ating katapusan.
Panatilihin natin ang sandaling ito
na tayo'y magkatabi at masayang magkapiling.
Basahin natin ang isa't-isa
sa bawat haplos ng mga kamay
sa katawang unti-unting nabubuhay.
Ang mga mata'y patuloy na nangungusap
na angkinin natin ang oras na ito.
Palayain natin ang ikinukubling pag-ibig
na magliyab sa ating mga dibdib
at hayaan syanng lumagos sa ating mga kamay at labi
kung saan tayo maaaring maging isa
habang hawak natin ang nahuli nating oras.

Will You

Will you be in my dreams, my sweet?
Will you wait till I close my eyes?
Will you be there waiting for me?
Will you wait the night?
Will you come and sit by my side?
Will you stare into my deep brown eyes?
Will you let your fingers caress my skin?
Will you let your lips linger on mine?
Will you hold me tight tonight of all nights?
Will you be there when I open my eyes?
Will you be there sleeping by my side?

A Virus that Kills

Flushed cheeks and labored breathing,
pulse beating and pounding like crazy.
The noise of the crowd is receding,
hearing nothing but you speaking.
Trembling hands and weakened knees,
what madness is this, can you tell me please?
My mind's thoughts are all quiet and still,
cold as ice like last year's winter's chill.
I am tempted to reach out and kiss
those lips of yours to taste real bliss.
But perhaps this is just a prelude to a dream,
where things may not be what they seem.
Or a deadly virus that is spreading inside me,
and one that I won't do anything but leave it be.

Half Past Two

Trading smiles at half past two,
we cared nothing for the people passing by.
Our thoughts centered on the sparks that flew
across the space between us,
electrifying us to mobility,
until our steps carried us to each other.
And in the seconds that passed our eyes communed,
like long lost lovers found anew.
A tentative touch to brush off a lock of hair,
a gesture so simple yet so sweet.
Your hand reached out as did mine,
and we felt the familiar taste of fear
that only new found love can bring.
But in the depths of our hearts we knew,
that this is the one we shall hold true.

Decomposing Love

Tethered to the night, this love is slowly dying,
fed to the winds in hopes it will reach you in time.
But the stillness of the wind trapped it in space,
unable to fly free and find your heart.

Disillusioned with silence and fearing abandonment,
it searches for a place to crash its body and break.
Throwing itself upon jagged rocks that protrude
from hell that only this heart has ever known.

Breaking.

Breaking constantly the hurts you've laid
on its soul of souls,
that is hidden deep within closed doors.
Bathed in tears and blood that flow,
drowning it slowly in torment and confusion.

And in the days you kept to yourself in silence,
the heart that was once given to you to hold,
is now slowly decomposing in the shadows of your
memory,
a figment of your imagination forgotten,
fading to nothing but dust carried away by the wind.

In Dreams

In dreams we give
each other a kiss.
A kiss on lips
hungry for its taste.
In dreams we hold
each other's hands
with a promise tattooed
on each other's heart.
In dreams we love
forever and ever.
Close your eyes dear heart,
let's dream together.

Shape this Heart

Shape this heart with hands that love
mold it with honesty and care.
Banish the clouds of doubt that formed
replace it with trust forevermore.
Heal the wounds sustained in grief
patch them up with kisses sweet.
Open doors barred from within
bring back the light long hidden.
Stem the flow of precious tears that fall
entice a smile on bowed lips.
Hold this heart in hands that care
for it is fragile and can easily disappear.

Beautiful You

Come closer and let me see,
the wounds  you are carrying deep.
Let me heal the broken pieces,
and make you whole once more.

You've carried scars to forever,
but you are mine to care for and heal.
With patience and love I'll stitch
the parts of you you don't want to see.

Don't be afraid to show me,
the darkness hiding behind your eyes.
I will be here by your side,
for you will always be beautiful to me.

What's A Little

What's a little pain every now and then?
Even when you bleed, wounds do heal.
Scars can get left behind
along with their memories,
but the pain you can keep inside,
under a lock and key.

What's a little hurt from time to time?
You're alive hence you feel.
But the hurt can disappear if you allow it to,
and replace it with something better,
even when you feel like there is nothing
that will make you smile once more.

What's a little bit of goodbyes,
when lovers go their separate ways?
When the morrow might bring a bit of rainbow
after the rain?
Bringing solace after all the hurt and pain.

Waiting in Silence

Waiting for a bit of sunshine
to break the dark clouds hovering,
over a mind imbued in silence
while waiting in vain.

Waiting for a bit of life
to course through these cold days,
melting ice and frost
to reveal a verdant valley.

Waiting for a bit of love
to fill this empty seat,
while watching what's left of the night,
for a more glorious morning.

As the World Sleeps

She is awake and waiting,
for a delicious treat to satiate her
hungry thoughts and empty stomach.

She waits by the shadows,
free flowing hair melting with the night,
only cat's eyes seen peering at the dark.

Waiting with stillness
and never ending silence,
preys pass by without noticing.

A finger's breadth from her,
they don't know why they are scared,
until they look up and see,
death staring down at them.

Temporary Madness

The walls are weeping for I can see the paint slowly
peeling,
like tears coursing down on cheeks gone unnoticed,
by a heart left without warning.
Succumbing to the cries of a lost human being.

The windows are already cracking under the strain,
of strong winds and the peppering of hale,
like the swirling confusion enveloping a mind,
burdened with sadness, despair and everything in
between.

This temporary madness can be wicked, true.
But won't last for long even when I'm without you.
With a snap of my fingers and blink of an eye,
my heart will beat and find someone else to love.

Strangers

We passed each other on the street,
our eyes connected and we both felt
millions of sparks that flew in between,
electrifying every strand of hair
and leaving us breathless in a matter of seconds.

A chance encounter with a stranger on the street,
caused our beating hearts to skip a beat.
A longing that cannot be explained,
coursed through our veins that moment we met.
To catch that feeling fleeing on crowded streets,
an impossible act yet determined we are,
to capture that moment when two strangers' eyes meet.
