The Bridge

In between space and time

I can't help thinking about you.

I can't help stepping on the bridge

Where I have to be reconnected

With you again.

And for the many times

I have been doing this,

I wonder if there is ever

A time you've been here, too?

Do you miss me like I do?

Will this bridge collapse

When reality wakes me up

And tells me you're not around?

Or, should I ask reality to

Sleep with me while

I'm dreaming you?

Only here we are together.

And  your presence

Brings me so much life.

Superhighway

My mind is your superhighway. I see you crossing back and forth, every night, every day, but I don’t mind. Because in silence, my heart cracks a smile just watching you and tears rolling down my face becomes precious knowing all these years, it always felt like the first time when I fell for you. How can you pass by along this endless highway without recognizing me? How can you not look back when my feet are rushing to touch you one more time to remind you that I have never been anywhere but here, by your side, around you? Love is crazy indeed when I mind loving you and you don’t? But how will I know when you dare not look at me. Not a glance. Not a peep. Because it’s a superhighway? People are rushing, not minding? But my mind does. I will be just where you are. You can step on me. Brush your shoulder against mine. You can do whatever you want to. You are always welcome to come and go whatever pleases you. After all, this super highway is yours. I just hope before you drop at the next station, you carry my heart and never leave me again because "I love you." You had my heart sworn I'm going to love you for the rest of my life. Between then and now, this love just keeps getting better with time and my heart has never felt so proud knowing it has kept its promise to stay faithful and in love with you. And by the time I'd see you again, you don't have to ask me if it's true. You just have to believe all these years there's no one else but "you".

Is Forever Enough?

I used to write love letters, not for the one I love but for the ones they love. I used to scribble down my thoughts, my longings, my love for you, but a hand would grab it, declare their love to the world and win somebody else’s heart. Yes, right before my eyes, I saw their dreams coming true, so I thought, what if I have done the same thing for you, will you fall in love with me, too? But I am only good in writing and bad at finding the courage to say the words. But then if you could spend just a minute with me, look me in the eye, straight to my heart, then there’s no reason why I should not bare my soul to you when you know for a fact that “I Love You”. But even when I don’t say a single word, I know you need not be told. Because you know that even in silence I would speak of your name. And even when you are not here, I know that somewhere, you’re listening. So what else would I say when all I ever want is to feel your heart against mine, close our eyes, and seal everything in a kiss? And if a minute wouldn’t be enough, will forever be too much?

You Carry My Heart

All my life I have not found what I couldn't resist or what I couldn't turn down. I would walk away from anyone I ever knew, but I can't walk away from you. I can’t even try and force myself to. Because no matter how I deny it within, it’s love... Undeniably there is “spark” in between the throbbing of my heart, when I see you, when I hear your name or even with just a mere thought of you. Stepping on that “spark” I know will blow me away. Love will blow me away. But, the fact that I can’t walk away from you, maybe you’re worth it. You are simply irresistible. To walk away from you is like committing an original sin. I’d be murdering my own heart then and the worst thing is seeing it die without giving a good fight. I want to be fair to you, to myself and to love, in all honesty, all cards laid down, no ifs, no buts, in black and white, just you and me. I wouldn’t mind my heart falling and breaking for you, because “I love you…” If all your life you see me, touched by my presence, making you smile, making you wonder why you never see me walk away…ever…all these years…through all the laughter, through all the tears,  it’s because I know no other way than stay in love with you. I cannot turn my back, walk away from the very reason of my existence because alll that I am is consumed by you. Every fiber of my being is wrapped around your heart. You cannot take me away from you, because you carry my heart, with you.

Ice Cold

Never been to the
northernmost
end of the earth
where iceberg
drifted...

But it felt like just
an inch away from
your shoulders...

The distance made
me shiver
I battled my own
December fever...

What more can be
colder than this
iceberg you
inflicted in me?

What more can be
painful than
knowing it never
melts away?

FROZEN

alphabet hanging
words unspoken
mind drifting
in black and white
down the north pole
of a shadowed dream
freezing the nightmare
of the restless poet...
