The Moon is Burning

In the shadows of an island, a heavy arm drapes against another’s sullen limbs sand clings to legs and feet with sweat spaces converging slowly between two hips each speck a name they’ve already forgotten nothing now but only remnants of a history only this friction which feels all too familiar like rough fingers lost in another’s body Perhaps, the want to be held truly disarms us? our…

Find My Body Where The Warm Winds Lead

When I was twelve, I threw myself from the shore I thought the ocean invited me for a swim so I swam with the fishes and held my breath until I felt a touch of where the warm winds led When I was eighteen, I picked a fight with a knife I thought it called me useless and a prick I was wrong but I picked a fight nonetheless I wanted the place where the warm winds led At twenty, I felt ugly…

Hard, Harder, Hardest.

July 29, 2017.

This is not a review.

After a few failed attempts at trying to watch this film, I finally got my chance and much as I expected, it was fucking great. I thought this time, there was no holding back. So much like this film because, for me, 2 Cool 2 Be 4gotten has both the propensity to hold nothing back and the ability to still have restraints here and there.

It doesn’t hold back in…

Not For Men

It is not for men

that we comb our hairs

and we pluck our brows

nor our shedding of ourselves

or even the cleanliness of our bodies

It is not for men

that we paint our faces

and we sheathe our swords

nor even our battle cries

or our thirst for what is rightfully ours.

It is for ourselves

that we owe our own bodies

and our own thoughts.

It is for ourselves

never for the men.

Lot B

The cotton fields became my home

when they took me

from my mother’s arms

and with lashes they fed me

from break of day

to crack of night.

Yet, with proud arms,

I now stand before you

with all my scars and all my stars

going once, going twice, then sold

to the man with the most

to offer for my hand.

Smokes

The crickets stopped rubbing their wings together and the deafening silence took over. As if the world was in a constant process of parallelism, the time between us also stopped moving. Space became convoluted and the air became stale. Save for the whirls of smoke that came from our mouths, everything else were practically a Dali painting wanting to melt from the canvas.

We were dragons. We…

Nagmamahal, Ako.

Minahal kita katulad ng labandera sa kanyang mga labada.

Inaruga kahit alam kong pagmamay-ari ka ng iba.

Minahal kita na para bang isa akong adik sa alak at sigarilyo.

Pilit na pinursige kahit na alam kong nasasakal at nasasaktan na ako.

Minahal kita katulad ng kahoy sa nagbabagang apoy.

Pinagbigyan kita kahit na linalamon na ako ng kumunoy.

Minahal kita na tila ba isa akong hunyango…

No Added Sugar

Moving on should be something that you don’t think of or something that you don’t talk about with friends over hot cups of coffee. It should be something that you just do. Like the way you sip espresso without thinking about how bitter and how strong it is. You simply just like the way it feels in your mouth, no sugar added. You love the way it trickles down your tongue and the way it seeps down…

Of Guitar Strings and Sam Smith

I wonder if I’ll ever get to see you again but that brief moment when I sang with you, although you probably didn’t know, was just perfect. It’s moments like those that drive me to continue all the things I do. It’s that opportunity to share a world with wonderful people like you.

At that moment, not only did we share a few seconds, but rather, what we shared was a fraction of our lifetimes. And I loved it. Thank you! :)
