the longest love song

The few lines that stay
Between the heaves and breaks
The common thugs, the undecided pen
Succeeding every spaces and blank stare
Tonight, I’ll be writing the longest love song.

Deep thoughts that were sudden
Flashbacks of prayers granted
The tiny smiles and eyes not-flickered
The silence unbothered
As I collect
The sacredness–
Sacredness redeemed and given
This will be the longest love song of our time.

The breeze strolled two storeys below
My chimney whine, the night slept
Inspiration divine descending onto the paper
The sanctified no longer important
With this thugs, the pen decides
This is no immortal  love song to embody a heart
But the un-noticed hymn of a dying soul..

*Like most of my poems, I forgot to write down the place and date when I first scribbled this one. What transpired then, I was trying to write a lyrical poetry, but nothing came.

the instant pancit canton life

Sometimes I dream of living forever
and the universe is created for me..

Now I realized I might die young but
my body won’t vanished; too many preservatives.

Can I have one shot of the things that can make me real?
Something that will last forever, encapsulated in a moment.

Maybe once I feel the universe is mine.

Let me vanished.

Untraceable.

No more preservatives.

*I named my first blog “the instant pancit canton life”.

Lack of money to buy decent meals inspired the above poem and the defunct blog title. I was living for a day, almost for a week with instant pancit canton sustaining my diet a few years back. When I was mixing the ingredients, and saw the crystal granules I realized I was taking in too much preservative inside my body. Since then I barely eat that food stuff.
