Even when strangers share their issues, Building up snot and soiled tissues, A bond is made, isn't it quite peculiar? That despite not knowing each other well, Stories brew and experiences tell. Once you find a stranger who, You've only met a minute or two, Yet lends an ear or two to you, You may have found a precious gem, Keep them company When they need you too! Happy is the one who finds a friend such as this, Who thinks of the other and shares in their bliss, In their hopes and trials, and...

I thought that it would be over soon, As soon as the phase change of the moon, Yet I feel the power of impending doom, It is here, now, and yonder loom. The voices inside my head say, What you did, you deserve, you should pay! Demons living in the light of day, Manifesting themselves in any way. Headache greets me when I wake, Stomachache follows me when I take a break, Paranoia gives me a sardonic grin, Insomnia haunts me from deep within. Flashback of memories haunt my present, These make m...

I haven't written down anything in the past 3 days. I have lost track of my mojo. I am not inspired to write down my thoughts. Yet, I have made myself busy writing poems - of the pain, of the affection, and of death itself. I went to Tagum last Saturday seeking solace, yet the Lord presented me with a wedding. That Tagum experience was something I did not expect. Why would the Lord meet me all the way there just to see the very thing that will no longer happen? Honestly speaking, I had an argum...

Death does lurk in solace yet, Lying about, just waiting for the right time, He takes away what is not his, From what is left in this life of mine. I pray to him that it would be quick, To escape from this world, not with any a nick, I wish that I do not have to suffer, Subito! In exasperation, I mutter. I lost the fire that this life gave, Yet it was all mine to blame, I bit more than what I could chew, Thinking I'd get more than I could gain. The grave seems more comfortable than my bed, Wh...

Lord, You are Marvelous and Almighty! You created the heavens and the earth with a purpose. You've fashioned me in Your own image and likeness. I fully commend myself to You. I know there is a greater purpose for why these things are happening to me right now. Help me to trust and have faith in You. I am weak and of little faith! I have my doubts, my worries, my baggage, and my burdens. You know them all my Lord. I fully believe that these events are happening at the right time, even if they d...

I'm losing sleep for losing you, Crazy it seems yet it is true, Nothing compares to the pain I'm feeling, Fighting insomnia and silent weeping. Disbelief is but another friend, When you can't seem to make ends mend, Telling myself, "soon this will end" But time cannot be rushed, nor made to bend. To forgive one's self is a beautiful virtue, Preached on the altar, heard on the pew. Yet let me know how to continue, In a life of gloomy skies and greyish hue? What I took then was a bitter pill, A...

When two people decide, Sometimes personalities collide, Causing unsettling worries, doubts, and fears, Pushing most, even the strongest ones to tears. The idiosyncrasies of individuals, Often strain companionships, Friendships, and relationships. Therefore, it is always wise, To reach a happy compromise. We often in this crazy world negotiate, The smallest things we navigate, Yet agreements deteriorate, Or not even met, The latter might be too late. Thus, compromises we must make, To ensure ...
