INDEED

Your stare gave away the sadness hidden

underneath the wooden armor you built single-handedly all these years.

Validated by a sense of security, coupled with a bit of curiosity,

a sudden tweak pinched you teasingly, 

lavished, you retorted. 

Read something into something, read up on nothing,

all of a sudden, you were deluged by a crisis of

mammoth proportions to eternity. 

PROLOGUE

PROLOGUE

Logic coupled with sleep deprivation,

no more bitterness,

alas. 

SUKI DAYO

Months have passed,

yet I still ache hearing the same melody

you left me.

FLIP

FLIP


The promise of yesterday was fulfilled 
in a certain way that is enough to make
one grateful of keeping up every single day,
well, most days at least.


Too much pride I gave up on
those days that are now just a part of a particular cycle,
Too much joy I thought I could contain,
Too much love that is just too overwhelming,
for a heart that is not destined to be owned.

Though I meant every word I said,

swallowing them is not as hard as penetrating one's

humongous ego.

As you flip the leaves that are already dry,

hoping for better days, I smile.

The wind may come with great force next time,

but on that moment, it will be a friend

that would sweep all the dried leaves behind.

And so I flip as well,

while looking back from time to time.
