Dreaming of Utopia

i yearn for a world devoid of struggle,
where peoples are one, respectful of other people.
where bonds transcend  gender, colors, beliefs, and creeds.
a world devoid of wants, and people live simply with their needs.

i would love to walk along the streets, unhindered by fear.
tread along the pathways safely, something, i long so dear.
let the place i live upon, be absent of violence, crimes, and hate.
across divides, let the peoples be united, living as one blissful state.

if only in this world, no one lives in hunger.
everybody learns to share their resources, no matter how meager.
let no single child be abandoned, uncared and unwanted.
let the whole world be one big village; foster everyone, and care be warranted.

but no, this world, i realized, is only just a dream;
with all the chaos, hopeless as it may seem.
people fighting, nations warring, where can peace reside?
when will this ocean of blood and tears subside?

when will this world be healed from strife?
when will the people stop sending others to the after-life?
when will this world be truly free?
all those questions i’m asking, i hope, it’s not just me?

In Memoriam Through a Cigarette Smoke

i lit one cigarette;
a cryptic background music lulls me,
bringing me back where we first pledged our love.
love so pure and innocent, un-mired by any sensuous aspiration,
not wanting more, but just a gentle kiss from your loving lips, 
and a warm embrace that seems to last a lifetime.

every trailing puff, from my dwindling stick, it beckons,
bringing out every single memory of you.
your smiles, your touch and your gentle gazes;
every single smoke brings out a bitter, yet sweet after-thought;
where we could be together, once again to renew our vows.

oh how delectable this narcosis is,
where you and i, once again become one, and me, once more,
reaching out to touch you, to kiss you, and smell your sweet perfume,
for you, my dear, are seared into my heart, never dying, never to disappear. oh how sweet it is, to be with you once again.

time is, but a hassle.
my pensive thoughts, like the cigarette i'm nurturing,
is slowly diminishing into nothing. all my wishes, and fancies, drifting 
to another void.

i lit another cigarette.

Virtuality

we share a love, you and I;

uploaded amongst the wireless bandwidths, bits and bytes, enmeshed and encrypted.

a love transcending beyond the mesh of space and time;

a love that’s spread on the pane of an lcd screen.



with every keystroke, our passion we spell;

coded texts morph into fiery love making while i trace your avatar with my mouse

and i fiercely kiss the air as i view your web cam view
while you my love, you fondle your bosom in sheer ecstasy.

and a collective sigh we shared, as we reach our pseudo orgasm;


the router lost its connection; and we, my love, are no longer entwined.

in the disconnected void i wonder- truly, we are but strangers – on when we will first meet.


if we do my dear, will we share this love in REALITY?

Eos Garden

Tonight we’ll share the heavens;
Souls knitted into one,
Fly together we, the ochre moontrails,
on gossamer wings.

The decanter overflows with nectar;
its sweetness permeates the ethereal void,
like ephemerous orbs when touched
by the hands of a child.

The secret Garden’s lit by Eos’ mirth;
polychromatic hues emanate from glassine showers;
Gait filling the place, radiating in splendor,
Warming every psyche in its solace.

Silence may, yet rule the void;
Plenary peace acquiesced e’en for a nanosecond.
Then from some aperture, a tiny tingle crescendos,
as the angelic host thunder their majestic heralds.

Come with me now my beloved;
Dry I your tears with lotus petals,
Come with me now, reach out your hand
and together we’ll share a millennium in a succinct moment
in this paradise called DREAMS.

If You Do Not Love Me

i can tell you only one thing,
my sight searches for you,
like the dawn searching for the
orange hue of the waking sun.

i love you,
not just because you are the portrait
the muses dote on;
the brightest stars may,
shed their infinite radiance to you, my dear
but you, to me, are my endless light,
a light that refreshes my ageing soul.
and you, my beloved, are seared into my heart;
like an oxbrand that tames a maverick.

if you do not love me,
do not befriend me.
for every moment that you stay on,
my love for you will,
like a flame on a candle that
continues to light on til i am no more,
and i will go on being drawn to you as a moth, being
drawn to its demise; the fiery light that proved false.

instead, my dear,
toss me into the deepest chasm
where the roaring tempests will wash away,
all my lingering thoughts of you.
until little by little, i shall stop remembering
that you were once, my yearning.
and once i forgot you my darling,
you will no longer be my haunt.

but before my impalpable longing,
for you, my sweet, turns to ashes,
let me tell you this;
yet, you were the hope, that led me to
nowhere, you were still, the hope that kept me on.
and after that, mon amie, i shall have stopped
loving you.

To An Unknown Lady

beyond words describe the fullness of you.
your smiles, such sweetness;
they pierce through my soul and etch to my heart
an unquenchable longing.

desire, and i fall for you;
like a glacier racing to the tropical oceans
my hardened heart is drawn to your rosy smiles
slowly thawing by their warmth

the lady night sings your paeans
her mysterious voice haunting
leaving such mysteries
like a popular song whose title is unknown

here i am yearning;
each day staring and wondering,
counting every moment
to when I will ever know your name.

Unrequited

you enthralled me; put me in a trance,
all the buried feelings slowly start to dance.
you seeped in to my heart, a seed of love sown,
bursting forth like a flower that grew on a stone.

with you, every second feels like heaven is near.
your radiance dissipates every demon i fear.
you are the wind that lifts me high,
taking me to a place where peacefulness lies.

though you may not know it, it's you i behold;
my hidden desires for you, i wish to unfold.
a heartbeat without you is like endless night,
for you saved me from darkness; you are my light.

how could this be, i'll never understand,
every moment without you is like counting sand.
though at this very moment, we are never one,
i'm waiting for the day when your heart is won.

Aylan's Cry

don’t leave me!
mama, baba, hold me for I am scared
with the rising water-walls
and the cold dark sky sometimes lit
by a sudden bright twisted light,
and the loud noisy boom that follows it.

you promised me;
mama and baba,
you’ve told me that we’re goin’ on a boat ride
to a new land and see once again the bright blue sky,
away from the bad men whose shinies
that turns red when they swing them
at any little boys and girls, and mamas and babas.
you told me that where we go, flowers bloom and grow
and children like me can once again run and play.

at first i laughed and squealed,
everytime the small boat went up and down.
at first i saw you smiled and then wondered why you suddenly frowned.
then i saw in the distance
the white cotton clouds turning grey, and the water-walls around us rising
and i felt the cold slaps of the roaring wind, and you dear mama,
your smiles turned to cries,while you held me tighter.
like this is our last goodbye.

hold me and don’t let go;
comfort me,mama and baba,
tell me that the new land is near,
hold me tight and kiss me, for they take away my fear.
why is the sea angry baba, is it because we went away?
why is the world angry baba, when all i wanted is to play.
soothe me mama, sing to me once more.

crack! we hit something, and then you were gone
i went under, and see nothing but black,
when i rose again, i see no one, but i have heard your cry
where are you, mama and baba, i don’t know how to swim.
i can not reach the bottom, and the walls come crashing in.
i am slowly falling, i’m tired of getting back.

i am slowly losing air, mama and baba
but you were nowhere near.
i can still hear you faintly in the distance,
and i really wish that you were here.
somewhere deep within me, something felt like it’s leaving
maybe it’s the little big boy inside me, maybe, i don’t know.
yet all i hear right now, is him saying, don’t forget me.

don’t forget me mama, for now, i’m going home…

Death By Batirol

i fell in love with you, at the first taste;

you beckon me, like a whore from araneta –

“come hither, nay not thither, let’s share our passion for the night,

for a cheap price, let’s revel like lovers in delight”

but oh, how can i love you?

you are dark as mud, as dark yet rich, like sin;

you drawn me near, with your earthy and sensuous aroma.

oh, how heavenly your scent is. and you draw me nearer like a dog

drawn naturally by a bone.

oh your warmth, it delights me, like a hearth on a cold december night.

like a warm woman’s body, you entice me, making me wanting to touch you,

feel you, like feeling a woman’s breast, kissing her red, full lips, and feel the

warmth of the flesh between her legs.

i tasted you for the first time;

you are at first, bitter, like memories of a broken heart; you evoke my saddest

ruminations, the loss of a beloved. the first taste, bitter, but slowly evolving to sweetness, like the luscious kisses of a paramour. lips upon lips, tongue upon

tongue. the first taste brings out a cacophony of feelings and emotions, the

taste of warm chocolate.

i savour you,

your every scent and every taste from a cup of warm batirol-seared chocolate;

like lovers on a warm steamy night, we make love.

every sip, like a slow penetrating thrust; slowly, yet surely, we waltz into the night,

dark as sin, yet tastes like heaven.

all good things have their end, and you my dear, is almost fully consumed.

with one last orgasmic gulp, i cherished you. let your final taste linger for a few moments and sear your delightful offering into my heart. i may have finished my drink, but you have left me wanting for more.

i ordered another cup.

For Aylan

don’t forget me;
my fight has left me,
drifting on the agean
away from the fires of heathens,
yet swallowed by the deep,
never to be amongst the free.

fight for me;
not just with guns nor bullets.
sing my passing for the world to hear,
that i had left my home to be free,
away from strife, death and tyranny.
let others live a life free from fear.

don’t pity me, no more;
though i have passed on, i am free.
just bury me under the ground,
and place a simple marker and flowers on its mound.
let our names be your banners; let them fly.
spell the name of freedom in the sky,
that future generations in it will live.
let it be the legacy our struggle will give.

don’t forget me.
