Decided to post poems here. Here's one of many. I-try ko halungkatin yung mga luma kong tula at i-post ko dito. Because they are shit too.
I want to write you into a poem,
Your skin shall be the paper,
On which these ideas come alive,
And each time i repeat the lines,
I'm tracing your every corner with my mind,
Your hands shall be the metaphors,
That will attempt to capture you,
And try to bring you to life,
And every one of them is an attempt to hold your hand,
Your hair be each commas,
That entangle one line to the next,
Bringing together the metaphors,
Out of oblivion and into context,
Your eyes shall be the rhymes,
On which the words will be dancing,
They will try grasping the infinity,
The endless galaxies in your eyes,
I want to write you into a poem,
For this will be the only way,
This will be the closest I can get,
But i know that each time I try to,
I realize no words can ever fit you,
No metaphors nor rhymes,
No matter how masterfully construed,
Can get you any closer,
Though I write thousands of lines,
It will never be enough,
For you are an infinity on your own,
The thought of you is an adventure on itself,
And each poem is like a new poem,
Each time i read them again.
I want to write you into a poem,
No, i need to write you into a poem,
Though i know they will never be enough,
Though i know they will not bring you closer,
I need to write you into a poem,
To remind myself that you are real,
Because you sometimes feel too good to be true,
I need to write you into a poem,
So these feelings have somewhere they can belong to,
A place they can rest and at the same time thrive,
I need to write you into a poem,
Yes, I will continue writing you into poems.
