Parang Silakbo, Damdamin Ko'y Wag Sanang Maglaho
Nung nabanggit niyang
hindi na muli pang
magkakagusto ang isang tao
sa maganda,
ako'y nabigla.
Ngunit halos naging tulala
Matimyas man ang halik
ay bugso
ng hanging umiihip
Nakaraan na 'yon
at, para lang ding alon,
si lalaking animo'y nalunod
ay masagip
Ikaw na kasi ang kalawakan!
Nasa kalagitnaan nitong
alapaap
ay aking langit
Marahil ay malalagak
na lang sa dulo nitong
mundo kong
tila bang nawaglit
Mamahalin pa rin
kita, O Ganda, malayo
man ang tala na nasa
pagtingin ko
Ngunit sa bandang
'yan, hindi ko pa rin
malaman kung
itong pagkasawi ay totoo
Ang Pagdilim ng Kalawakan ay May Ningning Din
Minsan nagtanong ako kung bakit may
magaganda pa sa mundo.
Alangan namang
sasagutin ako ng
Diyosa ng Kagandahan
dahil wala yata
akong kilalang
ganon.
(Mayroon ba'ng ganon?)
Marami kasing
klase ng marikit,
mga pang-akit..
Anu-ano ang
kaakit-akit
at bakit?
Ako ngayo'y hindi
natatawa
—dahil nandiyan
ka na.
Kung ako man ay liliparin tungo sa
dilim ng himpapawid,
Marahil nakikita ng
Diyos (o mga Diyos)
itong aking pagtawid.
Ako'y sasamahan ba
sa mundo na parating
may balakid?
Susundan ba
sa kanilang probinsyang
may gintong bukid?
Patag na lupa, luntiang
kay ganda at ang bahay
na bato
Matatag na sandigang
naipatayo nila laban sa
bagyo!
Nanay at Tatay, ina
o ama ko
Kailan pa kayo naging Santo?
Reality is really
Terrifyingly incredible
To exist as a
Conscious Being
And to be
Self-Aware
Is a weird phenomenon
An emergent property
Of Chance and Possibility
When it dawns on you
That you exist
As part of a whole
It’s almost haunting
Knowing you are Matter
With its own Will
And Self-awarenes
Is truly Mind boggling
The scale of the Micro
And of the Cosmos
Questions about
How it all works
Of what came before
You were Awake
And what will happen
After you go to Sleep
All this
Combines
To just
Astonish Me
Multiverse Soul Mates
Worlds apart—are we
Sweet smiles dawned on each other
—subconscious lovers
A NEW WORLD
Ca, born from the darkness, a lonely place, which through time bored Ca badly. Tired from being alone, he decided to create seven dragons to help him give shape to the darkness. Tem, the dragon of Time, who created the layer of time.Men,the dragon of the Mind, who created the ability to think. Fa, the dragon of Physics, created the laws of things. Bo, the dragon of Morality, who created a way to judge things.Num,the dragon of Feelings, who gave beigns the ability to feel. Sah, the dragon of Knowledge and Wisdom, for thoughts and and feelings would not be in vain.
It was the turn for Ca, the only dragon named after his master, this dragon wanted to show off and so he created planets to amuse his creator. He gained his attention, but just for a short while. The dragon felt moved by this, so it decided to go further, creating three gods: Bizck, Caferino and Razen. Ca commanded his three creations to work on a planet until they did a satisfying work. Bizck created the nature in the world, water, trees, plants… Caferino created humans, animals and microorganisms. Razen in the other hand, felt pressured by his creator, so instead of pleasing its’ whims, he decided to create chaos.
The three gods, draining energy from their master who is now referred as Alcarodia, created a beautiful and perfect world that they called Earth. Humans, animals and nature would live in peace, everyone was immortal and would be there to enjoy life. Unfortunately, Razen began to implement evil systems upon the world, he taught the beings how to kill and hunt, but no one saw the need to, so he also implemented the necessity of eating to stay with energy. Then he created pride, then jealousy, then avarice, then reproduction and so on. Predators arise, humans started wars, chaos was born everywhere, raging for centuries. Earth, once a perfect world, was forever scarred.
The humans, knowing the existence of greater godly powers, decided to damage the gods, and they killed Bizck in the process. Caferino, displeased by this, punished everyone by removing their immortality and separating the Gods from the world, he also punished Razen by forcing him to live in the shadows and the darkness of the night. Alcarodia had to go rest in the center of Earth from all the drained energy it suffered. Animals and humans had to behave differently to survive, but they would forever be corrupted by Razen’s curses. Far away in the galaxy, Ca’s attention centered on Earth, finally appreciating the work of Alcarodia, the dragon of Souls. Ca sat next to it, and with a wide excited smile, watched what would happen next.
Beyond which splendid Cathuria lies,
But which wise men know is the gate
Of a monstrous cataract
Where everything drops to abysmal nothingness
And shoot through the empty spaces
Toward other worlds and other stars;
The awful voids outside the ordered Universe
Where the Daemon-Sultan Azathoth waits.
The weight of your eyes
Are upon me.
I cant help but be transparent.
You undress me
Without my clothes ever falling
You discover bits of me
Like Im all the stars in your galaxy
Day after day
Our universe grows larger
I am the black hole
Bringing you in and never letting go
Taking you places
That dreams never dared
No longer alone she floated among the stars,
She danced and sang and serenaded her way through the universe,
I am merely here to humbly admire.
She left the atmosphere before she could be tied down,
Before anyone on the Earth could fill her with doubt,
And here I am, enjoying her show.
She’ll never land until she has finished her journey,
A trip full of joy and learning,
And I cannot wait to be taught.
She dances through the dark late at night,
And doesn’t disappear until the break of light,
Enjoy your trip,
For you have found your home,
And I will see you again soon.
I existed
You drank….with me
You fought…with me
You hated………….me
You loved………….me
I was a memory
You thought…….and laughed
You thought…….and cried
You thought…….what an idiot
Then the memory faded and died
You don’t know me
But you…………..read about me
Laughed………….about me
Cried……………….about me
When I'm dust
Part of of the Universe
Will anything know
I existed?
