My Knight

Ages had passed
Potions had been perfected
Technology had emerged
Tis the 21st century
And I am left in the ancient past
Where I believe in fairies
Princesses with their knights
I don't have a single drop of royal blood though I am waiting for my knight.

I have dragons to slay
witches to cast spells
demons to conquer.

I do have abyss to swim
skies to fly
fruits to reap
But I don't have my knight.

Someone who'll risk seeing what is within
Someone who'll embrace my baby fats
Someone who'll caress my hair with all its tangles and frizzy ends
Someone who'll look at me in the eye and will accept everything I am and beyond.

Then one night as I woke up from a dream
I've found my knight.
In a place where I least expected it.
Standing right in front of me,
In a place I have refused to look.
Staring back at me in front of the mirror,
The one person I've failed to appreciate...

Crybaby

I heard on the news

There’s a typhoon under my brows

It’s a different storm

Because I can select its form.

Would it be a signal # 1?

Silent yet flowing looks just a dry run

What if signal # 2?

A sniff and a flickering show.

Or signal # 3?

Heavy drops pouring, shoulders disturbed by thunder.

Then the ultimate signal # anything it goes…

It has a lot to do with the flood and the woes.

I have to prepare whichever I prefer

Should I tie my neck to keep it in the lair?

Or should I held my hand with a rope

To prevent me from showing in the slope?

Maybe, I have to nail my feet to where there’s a fleet

Like it can save me from all the defeat.

There’s one thing left, a folded handkerchief

Wrap it around my head and feel its velvety leaf

It soothes me best to pour out the emptiness

The storm had come and it never made me less

There’s no harm done, I just let it all passably

Washing the deepest places that forgot to be lively.

Crybaby, cry

But only for awhile

You have to do this just for once

Clear the river that flows inside your lines

Drop all the mud to the sea

That is where it should be

Forget the clouds that dawn on you

The thunder that mocks your view

Release the misty water

Unclog the depths of your nadir.

Crybaby, cry

There’s no harm if you try

Every grown up man had passed this line

Cry out loud, it will not make you less of a man.

Do it now if you feel like doing it today

There’s no reason to fake it like a play.

Tomorrow, the storm will stop

The sun will laugh

You’re still here feeling relieve

Thanking the weather even if you didn’t believe

There’s no trace of evidence in your defeat

But you know better because you can relate.

Come on, crybaby, cry

It will not make you less if you try.

Labot

by kris10na ☮♥☺ Thoughts (0)

ang labot baw…
tano igdi sa dagang hababaw
mayong ibang nahihiling kundi ang labaw
binabangut-bangutan, iniibahan pa nin sabaw.
laki
bayi
magpakalalaki
magpakababae
mayo kang padumanan
gabos nalalabutan.
sara-saraon
bara-basbasan
tama-tamaon
pagparapandayan
dae ka na magpagal
ta pareho man lang ang kaluluwasan
laki
bayi
magpakalalaki
magpakababae
dae ko aram, penoy man balot
pero maorag talaga kitang maghanap nin labot.
