a flicker of a smile

you hold your hand
in mine
and mine
in yours

when we were crossing the street

both looking
left then right
and then again ahead

with a pull of a hand
you made me look your way

you flashed me that smile

and you made my heart melt away

for joshua
my beautiful beautiful boy
and my buddy

i love you so much baby.
i miss your kisses and i miss kissing you
i miss holding your hand
but most of all i miss being with you

the fall of icarus

Out of the darkness
your heart called me by name
and delivered me out of the pit

You've torn down the shame
that veils my past
and washed away
all my inequities

You’ve enfolded my parchment
wings with your own undefiled ones
You've shown me a glimpse of tomorrow
and a stolen glance of heaven

With these i'll be the shadow of no man

Let my angel mourn no more

angel of mercy

i'll sweep you off your feet
and make God wonder
if he left an angel behind

and he did
and then i died

swept aside
i was the one left behind

love as defined by a fourteen year-old

mark I (august)
part I of I

the atmosphere thick
the air hot and humid
rustling of dancing silhouettes
of trees as young as we
the only other sounds
are my light breathing
and the slow deep heaving
of the one that i encircle

in light embrace

soothing aches as like
one kneading muscles
washing away today's pain
drowning needless worries
driving away petty troubles
by tomorrow just senseless sorrows

pawn
part II of II

legs rest on knees and head on chest
a chin rests on a temple
another on the nook of an arm
back pressed against a lap
lips pursed in murmurs
of love yet undeclared
lips kissing softly
where lips touch my skin

me and myself in french
part III of III

still now is the back of the hand
that caressed the face and neck
still now are the fingers that
combed through hairs
lest this one i awaken

my rajah, a rojo
part IV of IV

a soft breeze starts a ripple of blades
as too the soft tufts on still rounded limbs
tranquil for now is the one i guard
serene for now as i stand on watch

mark II (the other victor)
part V of V

as dawn nears rise we as shadows
starlight guides our short strides
shoulder touches shoulder
as we slowly slip through the night

slip in we must before the sun awakens
sleep we must before the sun awakens
hurry we must before the sun awakens

and creep back into our own rooms
in houses left unlocked

the missing parts

are kept
as i am fourteen
time and time again

and i am fourteen
yet again

no metro uno

pigil ang bulong ng mga dahon
sa pagihip ng mapag-arugang panahon
mga damon'g animo'y inaalon
habang pinatutulog ng ambon
bawat mga sanga't mga ibon

lihim at tagong lilim
sa tuhod ng puno'y kimkim
sa kubli ng hapong dilim

anino sa liwanag ng takipsilim

walang supling ni talulot
sa gilid ng mga ugat na baluktot
dampi ng hangin dala'y kaway na umuungot
ngitngitan sa pagitang may sinsin'at kipot

sang sanga ng kahoy na walang saplot

init unti-unting pumapanaw
pag higa ng haring araw
wala nang pawis ngunit wala pang ginaw

sinagtala'y singkit pa't mapanglaw

inaabot na langit isang lutang na higaan
pagakyat ng buwan paglalayag na dahangdahan
may indak na mistulang idinuduyan

sayaw ng ulilang kawayan


no metro uno : ang dalamhating paglalahad ng nagtatagong puso
vicente katipunan

ang kwento ng pagnanasa ng amihan sa kawayan
isang nagkukunyaring alegorya at nagbalatkayong kalaswaan
