Fake a smile
Swallow the moans
Seal your mouth with memories
And shared vows known.
Dance if you can
But dry first the floor
Slippery with tears—
Knocks of goodbye on your door.
Change the sheets
Wash away my smell
But keep me as your pillow
Where your head goes I will follow.
Turn your gaze up
And catch a falling star
Close the hand, open the heart
Wish for it to never smart.
Whisper my name
Wish for time’s demise
In its ashes I’ll come back
To you where bliss does not lack.
Catch your breath
And bury deep your roots
Stand firm on the ground
Yet as free as the wind—
A speeding sound.
Drink down a purple pill
To stay asleep if you must
Through a song take flight
Towards me and away from the night.
Let me dwell in your dreams
Soft and sweet—a happy taste
Candy clouds on sticks we’ll chew
Then I will be just a breath away
Far but closer to you.

There is always a longing in your posts, written in many styles and very creative. Our posts are like windows of what we see, we feel and of what we desire.
portrayed a genuine sense of melancholy.. fits the weather well.. haha
nice nice :)
I felt like crying. I could never imagine being alone in my bed and missing a loved-one who have gone far away ahead of me.
That was how I interpret your poem. You remind me so much of Nicholas Sparks. So full of bittersweet memories.
literary emo. we're soulmates! haha! Sorry if it took me long before I got to visit you again. I got busy with my pub works.
Nice poem. Watch out! I'll be posting some of my works, too.
eli: thanks, eli :) ang lamig nga! ang sayaaaaaaa!
kokoi: bakit ka naman mumurahin ng unan mo? ahahaha!
seriously? tatlo na nga lang kaming lalaki dun eh! hehe! peace out! :P
jon: thanks, jon!
[Our posts are like windows of what we see, we feel and of what we desire.]
i agree...both consciously and unconsciously i guess.
najua: thanks, najua :) is that your name?
jei: so you read nicholas sparks? hmmm. interesting. i haven't read any of his novels yet, but i love the movie adaptations esp, A Walk to Remember...soooo tragic! and i love tragedies!
rcyan: literary emo ka rin ba? hehe! parang wala pa akong nabasang poem from you. anyway, i'll keep watch na lang. :P
I'm super 100% fan of Nicholas Sparks even though most of his works had tragic and bittersweet endings. Maybe because I like the way his writing style...parang si lucas eh.
Poem ba 'to o kanta? maganda siya. Napangiti lang ako ng mabasa ko ang whisper na word. :-)
ka level mo na si Robert Frost (tama ba yung name?)
50 years from now, pipilitin ng mga teachers na e-memorize ng mga grade school pupils ang poems mo. Tulad nung "all things bright and beautiful" or yung "a ring a ring of roses"
This is such a sad piece you've written, more tragic than your last posted poem for sure. I feel the longing and the helplessnes to fill that void created by one's departure. Ewan ko ba, I'm finding it hard to comment on this... it feels too tragic for me.
That, or something to do with the weather. I get depressed when it rains, I don't know why...

Nagsawa na kasi ako roon sa standard layout, kaya naisipan kong magpalit. Syepmre, pinagpilitan pa ring black ang primary color ng theme na ipinalit. Maganda nga ang yellow and black, basta hindi gaanong matingkad ang yellow. Baka magmukhang pedestrian lane. haha!
I was able to fix the date problem, by the way. Cheers!
Change the sheets
Wash away my smell
But keep me as your pillow
Where your head goes I will follow.
...awwww ang sweeetttt..miss ko na ma in love.nyahaha
jei: ano ng books niya ang nabasa mo? sana may mahiraman ako. can't afford to buy books sa ngayon..hehehe! thanks for the visit :)
red: it's a poem actually. i'm no songwriter. i can write the lyrics pero hindi ako marunong maglapat ng melody..ahehe! ay ganun ba? (whisper) :P
KJ: thanks, amigo! hahaha! yun e kung emo na lahat ng mga bata sa future! hehe! peace out!
shatts: disorder daw yun eh. i forgot the exact medical term. i read it from kalansay collector's blog. you get depressed whenever it rains and you feel down and crave for sweets and food and in turn you gain weight. masaya ako kapag naulan kasi hindi mainit! hehe!
flamindevil: bakit wala ba tayong love life ngayon? ahehe! intrigador-dor-DOR! HAHA!
Limang beses ko nang binasa, paulit-ulit... Sino ba ang PILLOW na 'to, Ron?!
wow, pathological disease ba ang condition ko? hehe
