Dating Umaga



(photo captured from Coastal Cove Resort, Dingalan, Aurora)

Pagkamulat ng mata. Mga kahoy ng pangalawang kama ang nakita.
Sa bahaging kaliwa. May harang ang bintana. Pilit na pumapasok ang liwanag ng araw
Sa kuwartong seryoso at katutuwanan.

Sa bahaging kanan ay isang pader na nakaharang. Isang balakid. Isang paalala.
Tumayo. Nag-inat. Sumilip sa pangalawang kama. Sa itaas.
Isang bulaklak. Kulay rosas ngunit puti ang pangalan.

Minasdan ko ang petalya nitong tahimik na nakapikit.
Isang pagtulog habang payapang nanaginip.
Mga dahon nito'y kumukurba sa lamig.

Bumukadkad ng mabagal. Kagandahan at halimuyak ay natural.
Binaling ang tingin sa iba. Nagmamadali baka makita.
Bumaba siya. Tumalikod. Umalis.

Lumapit sa pinaggisingan. Naiwan ang bango sa unan.
Naramdaman ang init ng pinaglapagan. Sabay ng lamig ng hamog sa damuhan.
Isang umagang dating nadatnan.

Ever since I entered medical school, my whole life turned up side down. It was like I’m adrift into the whirling pool of uncertainties. I counted every moment, every second, living it day by day. 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...

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.

Your Grace

Black Digital ravens slowly descend Sliding to open does my hand Unearthing the letter from your Grace Reforming your Sansa's face Galloping steps between our Wall Heavy as the Red wedding at the Hall Can never be mine your Grace Gaze at my white walker face Our path begets Winterfell A great kingdom burned to hell See through the flames your grace Murder by the Hound's daze A visit from the One Eyed Crow Is an arrow from Ygritte 's bow Its the beheading scene your grace These mind bending plots to haze
