World War I

This four-minute masterpiece lingering at 3:58 A.M.,
With a fluttering melody. 
Visit not my brazen eyes as they dream,
It is I who dreams with eyes open.
Thy bewitching virtual, deliver me from thy storm;
Give me time as I speak my chants.
“Could you wait for me by your door?” a response.
Hear thy caged wren as it sings for freedom,
Heed this high-strung being, forgive his mind 
That longs for space,
As the lungs breathe out the 21st rural smoke. 
“It’s your night,” the words that had summoned me.
Bed of strawberries and guns that pull my body down;
T’is the place I lie upon—never rested.
Wail; listen to me as I stand before you—an alluring apparition.
Pray, pray for me, my dear, as I face this perplexity;
From this that had stood before me—the luscious red, curled daydream,
And through his vision of me,
That had seen the angel from his dark brown eyes.
Could you be gentler?


“Have mercy!” My knelt-down prayer;
I shout it! I shout it!
But in sealed lips, would you still show me grace?

 The hatred is piled up, enough to orchestrate a crime  and to hide it in nightmarish metaphors. I have imagined you getting piercing through the fragility of the roof of your mouth, until you beg for forgiveness with your really untamed spirit. Perhaps, flaying would be much better, but crying will be reverberated through every corner of your long shattered room, as your annoyingly pleading voice will still be heard. An unforgivable, hell-bent serpentine, you always are, caressing the man’s ego extracting his exhaustion, and me against a fiend in your presence. Such a soft way to demonstrate hell to you— as it was not even a flinch, or a poke. You deserve heaven appearing reverse, so the gods you have known will forbid your salvation.

24?

"Twenty-four seems scary," I tell myself. Sometimes, I tell jokes, or mostly, it was conveniently told, like how a laugh returns and  introduces itself as villainous friend, but an enemy is the positivity that takes. It is so much scarier when it visits me: a quicksand brought by faux geniuses, a peeking sock-made puppet,  I am a whole drama— a ventriloquist of his own dreams. Delighted by my father's cake: "Happy birthday, son!"  I still know how to stay still  when everybody sings me one.  My Mom gave me bills: Money is an angel.  Indeed, for it lets me fly out of the reality— out of reality that everything  is still made of infinite loops,  as in manmade experiments, and how they can be destroyed by one gentle blow.

Lualhati

Lualhati sa ama, ilawan ang ina ng mga batang lumalaban sa lansangan. Lualhati sa mga anak na   mula sa dekadang sumupil,   sa kanilang bukang-liwayway ang naging sandigan. Babae ang dangal, lalaking iniluwal;   lalaking hinugot sa tadyang,   ang kaniyang hiningang pagál. Walang-saysay yaring libong dasal-pulang láso man o kalimbahing asal ng dekadang pinipigilan sa pag-usal. Sa bukang-liwayway ang kalayaan; Ang nakaambang pagdatal ng daluyong mula sa rumaragasang dugo  at ang lapot nitong nakakubli sa mga páhina ng mga dustang aklat. Ang wikang tinta, tonong pagsamo't pakikibaka,  ang aking taál. Lualhati sa mga ama, sa mga anak na hindi pa naluluwal; legasiyang sumibol, higit pa sa mga pilas ng mga akda. Lualhati sa espiritung sa kanya'y tatahak,  at sa sansinukob niyang walang magtatangkang yuyúrak.
