A thousand


I tried to close the door today.
like a thousand dying fireflies slowly swiveling through the dark.
Their fading light are as bright as the twilight.
As thick as the swimming trees in the park.

I tried to run today and stumbled,
like a thousand freedom doves gliding underground.
My heart and soul achingly crumpled,
uttered a little squeak, a nomad home-bound.

I tried to sing my song for you
like a thousand dolphins echoing echelons in the battlefield
Gliding through the waves underneath the moonlit sky
but your ears and stone-cold heart  are thickly sealed.

and that was probably my last try.

They said it would only take a short time to finish medicine, the hell with it (4 years of pre-med, 4 years of med proper, 1 year of internship, 3-5 years of residency and 1-2 years of fellowship). Partially it was true, toxicities make time fly in lightspeed. I am a 3rd year medical student at UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery and an incoming clerk (duty starts at april 15). Whenever I remin...

Kaguluhan

Sumuka sa huni ng binibini Pasirkong lagpak sa palapag Sumambulat ang kahibangan Panahon na di mababalikan Tumimpla sa daloy ng balon Panibugho ni Adan sa Diyos Pisil ng hayop sa kalamnan Ang sugat na kinamuhian Patago sa init ng araw Umaalpas sa lamig ng bituin Idlip na animo'y bangungot Sumisilip ng walang lintik Ang talbog ng dibdib nananaginip at nagmimithi Ang mga sinaunang sarap Makamtan muli Lumabas sa unos Sa kaulapang maliwanag Pagpigil ng ngiti Lumipad ng tuluyan Umaagos ang ginto Humihiyaw ang sirena Tingin sa mga nakausad Matatahimik na

Room

When  we were surrounded by chairs and whiteboards Books afloat and skulls on the table Light escaping from the other room Sunrays piercing thru the blinds You were looking at me the way you are looking at him Right now.
