Shame, Sex and Acceptance

I Admire You, But I Can’t Tell You

There you go again, making my heart melt. Just seeing you from afar makes me smile. Caught myself staring at you then suddenly feels like heaven when you look back. It’s truly indescribable. I really like everything about you. Your aura captivates me. Your playful antics, your sweet voice, and Continue Reading

Hardest Thing About Letting Go

The hardest thing about letting go is not about abandoning the past, but rather giving up on an idea that you have always dreamt of. Everything has its time and when things don’t work out the way it should, breathe. When you lose yourself in the middle of the road, Continue Reading

Suko Na Ako

Suko na ako. Ako na hindi masaya. Ako na walang silbi. Ako na walang alam. Ako na mapagkunwari. Ako na matigas ang ulo. Ako na sinungaling. Ako na mayabang. Ako na pagkakamali. Ako na makasalanan. Ako na kung anong maisip mong ako. Suko na ako. Sa aking mga pagkukunwari. Sa Continue Reading

Wish Granted

Naranasan mo na ba magdasal at magwish pero matagal bago binigay sayo? Tipong nawawalan ka na ng pag-asa kasi parang hindi naririnig ang dasal mo? O kaya naman, naisip mo ba na baka kaya ang tagal ibigay sayo kasi hindi naman pala dapat ibigay sayo ang gusto mo?  Normal satin Continue Reading

She’s the Murderer

She killed your smile. She put off your glow. She removed your humor. She silenced your laughter. She dimmed your bright eyes. She cut your tongue that spread joy. She took away your hands that gave warm touches. She destroyed your feet that might go miles. She peeled off your Continue Reading

Lost

Im lost. I don’t know what kind of sin I’ve done in my past life to suffer in my present life. Bakit ako? Bakit akong hindi marunong bumitaw at marunong lumaban ang nahihirapan? Bakit akong niloko ginago pinagpalit at itinapong parang basura ang naghihirap samantalang  ikaw ang saya saya mo. Continue Reading

Woman, It’s not your role.

Woman, It’s not your role. It’s not your role to send him a message or chat him first, kasi in the first place hindi naman sya nangangamusta. It’s not your role to stalk him on his social media account(s) para tingnan kung anong recent post nya, or even to wait Continue Reading

Para Sa Aking Magiging Anak.

Di ko alam kung bakit ako nakakaramdam ng pananabik. Wala ka pa sa tiyan ng magiging mommy mo. At di ko pa din nakikilala ang magiging mommy mo. Kakaibang pakiramdam ang aking nadarama. Ngunit ako’y nasasabik na mahagkan ka. Hindi pa ako handa sa pagdating mo sa karamihan ng mga Continue Reading

If only you have waited.

I thought letting you wait would be just fine. For saying “YES” when I’m not yet ready would only make it unfair on both sides. I thought letting you wait would make you see that I am not that easy and that I am someone “worth the wait”. I thought Continue Reading

A POEM FOR THE DEVILS MOUTH

He`s just doing his best, With passion and compassion for the rest, All corners of his eyes were bloating and screaming, –An eyes who demands to sleep for its sacrificing, But, he was humilitated by the Devils mouth, —A devil that has a million prides from the very start– At Continue Reading

“Room for Rent”

“Room for Rent” Mga kending naka-garapon Biscuit wrapper na naka-kahon Sticky notes na nakasiksik sa mga bulsa ng pantalon Mga tinuping pahina ng mga kanta Katabi ng videoke machine at microphone Mga tasa ng kape na lumamig sa taas ng mesa Mga reminders na nakadikit sa kanto nito Sabi: “mahal, Continue Reading

Maghihintay

Kailan ba yung TAMANG PANAHON? Wala po bang specific date? Month? Year? Kung hindi naman ikaw yung inilaan, bakit di’ pa kita mabura-bura, bakit nararamdaman pa kita? Bakit ikaw parin ang itinuturo ng puso ko? Bakit pakiramdam ko, pilit kang ipinakikilala sa akin ng Diyos? Eh.. bakit ako nasasaktan? Pero Continue Reading

Walang label parang kayo

Joshua O. Tolentino: Sana ito na ang huling beses na magsasayang ako ng pagod at tinta para iparating sayong mahal kita Sana ito na ang huling pagkakataon na maaalala kita sa aking pagtingala sa mga tala Sana ito na ang huling beses na maloloko ako ng ngiti sa labi mo Continue Reading

The Calvary

Cursed is the man who was hanged in the tree. It was you Jesus why I didn’t see. That’s because my heart is consumed by idolatry…your sacrificed felt like nothing to me. You borne our griefs on that calvary. Stricken, smitten, afflicted because of our iniquity. You uttered the word Continue Reading

Love

This world tends to form numerous ideas of what love is and isn’t and I don’t want my definition of love to be what the world claims it is. Because love isn’t feeling butterflies in your stomach all the time whenever you’re with them. Love isn’t all about going on Continue Reading
