Till Then

It was Saturday. My college friends and I planned to hike in Baguio for the long weekend. The gang was already there since Friday but having conflict with an important errand at work, I had to follow them that Saturday by myself. And that was when I met him. “We’re done!” Danie exclaimed once our company event ended. The employees were already dispersing, some were left taking pictorial…

So then again, all over again There goes again, there it goes again The old same habit, so old, so old Wasting time, wasting life, wasting golds. So addicting, I’m so addicted To procrastinate, procrastinate To waste my time, waste time, waste, waste I cannot stop, I can’t, I can’t. Over and over again, it goes The procrastination as I wait Never get tired, not at all, never To wait…

We all have our own ****s and deals Battles we fight to keep up the reel Lives at stake if we mess the ordeal Tough times to deal with a strong will. We have these ****s and deals all around Frays over ideal well-groomed bound, Fuss we fret that create painful sounds Until when the pandemic stays in pound. For only seven hundred and more hours of fright At third of our twelve, we all…

Every Time Every time our live seem moving fine And everyone looks like having all the fun, I am here at the bottom of the world, Observing how it revolves, how they evolve. Every time our path meets each other’s end And everyone sees us just a painted men, I am here at the middle of the crowd, Waiting for another doom to start again. Every time I tried to reach their sights As everyone…

Saved I was so close of falling So close, I felt the urge of jumping But I was saved at the right time. No, not at the right place And not by the right man, But by the right words, Words that were unexpected. I was so close of falling I feel like closing my eyes To just feel the fall itself, But I was yet saved again. Yes, it was at the right time And the right place this time, But…

Fancies and the Hues of Our Sky When the ebony sky is calm and serene and still Let’s start our waltz into the quietude of the night Let’s steal an escapade to savour its freezing breeze As the only star on the sky descends perfectly. When the cerulean sky is calm and serene and still Let’s dance with the rhythm of the swaying bamboo trees Let’s wait for the warmest wind to caress our…

The Masquerade And puzzles of my flight began to sway again To shelter the passion of what my heart desire. Breathing a life to the creations of my mind To deal what they wish to see the future past. The race to the end of line with dim candle light Hurdles raining, falls trying to halt the fight, Yet neither of my feet ever fell on each knee, Standing in valor to face the…

The Knot For the longest waiting hour The sugarcane breaks up The house elves yelp for help The seconds stick to twelve Good times turn to memories And our hands are entangled. No more, no less and yes Around and beyond in mess Coax a hoax with kisses Run after the sun sets west Bad times fade in blue and red And still our hands fit best. 20200822

Sunset

Like the sun that sets beneath the west horizon, The gleam in your eyes walks out from the world, As the breeze of your breath at the top of my head Halted in between the motion of each spell. The nightmare which stole the painted curve, The smile that brought me to a dream you hold. The clock struck pointing straightly at twelve Let yells of my fear start the race from hell. And as the…

Even with closed eyes

I can't find the courage to move forward,

Things are scattered everywhere

Giving me hard time to gather myself.

You've gone a long way,

You've done a lot...

Only to be where you are now.

And that journey was never easy...

That journey and everything in it...

Brought you pain, tears, regrets, scars

That will remain in the memory.

But the journey taught you lots

Of things... of lessons... that made you,

That made who you are today.

You've gone a long way,

You've done a lot...

A little stop is okay,

To breathe,

To look back and reflect,

To ask yourself, check on you...

But start again,

A little step is okay to start again

And continue what you started.

Because...

You've gone a long way,

You've done it and you will do it

Again and again,

To stand up when you fall...

To smile big after you weep...

To fight a battle and win...

To bleed and heal.

Stop when you're tired but start again.

The journey is never easy but it's worth it.

Trust the process...

But, how?

When things seem

Getting awry

Even we're trying...

Trying our best...

To be the best,

To be enough.

Trust in Him.

Even when things got askew,

Even when plans shattered,

Even your best was not enough,

And even if,

You don't trust

Yourself...

And the process

Itself.

A rainbow will shine

Once the storm stops.

The sun rises

After hours of dark.

A wound heals

Once it bleeds enough.

You may not trust the process,

But trust in Him.

~RL.

Cheers to your tears!

Most of the time, they come...

Always present when needed.

Arriving at crucial moments,

When you feel lonely

And even alone...

They lurk around

And walk in at the moment

When everything feels...

Breaking and falling apart.

Cheers to your tears!

Your loyal friend at moments

You mostly needed...

Running into you,

Not only sharing

But easing your pain,

As you cry your heart

And wishing...

They stop coming.

Cheers to your tears!

~RL.

We are not alone.

There were times when we feel like world is against us, times like there is no one who can understand us, times like we are all alone in this battle. Indeed, there were those times but, the times we feel the greatest, the happiest, the prettiest were most of the times being overshadowed by those lonely times.

We felt great because of this and that then, the disappointment came over and the great feeling settled behind it. We were happy about something but something changed to nothing and the happy feeling quickly vanished. We felt pretty just standing then, the natural flaws we have crapped up and abruptly so fast, we felt the opposite.

But should it always be like this, should we always jump in speed from one point to the other when everyone else around see us the greatest, the happiest, the prettiest…

We are not alone but when hormones kick in, we will always feel the loneliest if we let it suck us up. We are not alone and that is always be the case. You feel it or not, there will always someone who sees you eye to eye, who waits for your smile, who watches you though from afar.

Be sad but don’t forget to smile after that, for you are not alone. The world is built for you and me, so let’s be lonely together and smile together.

"We celebrate we!"

Not everyday someone will say hello nor smile at you. The world doesn't revolve like that.

But what good about people is whenever something is to be celebrated, they will celebrate with you. No matter the distance, people who remember will find a way to reach you.

It's like magic. Yes, birthdays are like those ancient magic spell that can bind people in a click, a magic that only comes once in an entire 365, a magic that connects us to us, and grants wishes we deserve.

We wish, we wish, and enchant ourselves to the beauty of our own magic.

We are living in a world full of wonders. What lies ahead might not be what we are expecting for but that is life. It's a series of unpredictability. It's an unending search for what is there beyond. It's a battle of battles, everyday is a war.

But even so, let's continue wandering to its wonders. Stepping in the zone of uncertainties might be pretty scary but we cannot move forward if we don't. It's a big, big world and life's a journey no one can just back out. If others can win out of it, so can you... so can we.
