Set your footprints in a place where it won’t fail. In my world I’ll take you. In a sky unshaken, where both sun and air collapse in muteness... Please roll your breath down on my face, lead it to my chest, lift my voice like the way your eyes open doors--from this day that I am certain, from this day that I am unknown. I have nothing from the very beginning, I'll be getting nothing in the end. Look this is my life, it should not pass you by.

make us home

The day star in the little fog left
Like me, he was late in the avenue
Choke and sleepy
We don’t like the coffee warm
We like it cold
One that remind of vengeance
We like it sweet
A second chance
After the bitter try

The day star in the stripped sky
I was watching him watching me
It was just a glance, a million dollar smile
Abrupt and innocent
Though we like our smile to remain
We keep it that way
Something called envy
Our lack of content
After the hard try

The day star finishing the half hemisphere
We are both tire as we find our way out
Come undone we struggled
Rhythms of the night and the lovely sight
It belongs to you, it belongs to the moon
What greediness has is enough
Even if we stay
There’s still tomorrow
Hopefully no more try.

 

 

Written August 22, 2007 in Makati. The poem is actually about a love gone haywire, but in the end it finds home.
