"The Embrace" Forgive me if I didn't sleep at all while I lay there beside you, for I had rather relished the view of your slumber: ever gentle, warm, and overflowing with innocence, like a child drooling amidst a dream of an outrageous adventure. The slits of your eyes-- meticulously woven with your camellian lashes, solemnly shut--closing in on the harsh light of day. Sleep tight, my


A SEASON OF SAYING GOODBYE
2008-10-20 06:39:39
My tito Sonny (my mum's eldest brother) died last night, just days after being diagnosed with colon cancer. I pray for the repose of his soul, the safety and peace of mind of his family. I especially pray for the strength of heart for my mum who would be spending a melancholic, non-celebratory birthday on Tuesday, October 2. On a different, less grave note, my heart is also in mourning of a

In my dreams, there's still a bit of your face I haven't kissed, some inch more of your skin I haven't tasted. But in real life, I don't have any more claims to your geography, as if I never had you as my territory, anyway. Maybe it's best like this. You are a painting to me now, and I need some distance--some perspective--to see more of you, to observe your whole being. From afar, I can now
