Interacting connecting life with gratified emotional plexus...

Joy in mourning
opens this new eye day.

Am I OK?

Healthy?

Compromised
yet survive able
air inhaling
"Death, tonight,
or some tomorrow,
my life's inevitable
closed,
no longer curious,
final answer."

"My moisture, too,
dying to reopen
yet another deep breath 
resurrecting dawn."

Is my heart still beating

the construct of universal elements destiny decides
to manifest distinctively with the divine essence
in the unparallel trinity of body, mind and soul.

The self-obsessive free-will ever seemingly dormant,
envelopes the body-mind...

She was caged in his mystery.
Just a glimpse into his soul;
And she saw the anger flow freely.

A father’s blood tainted
And with it came sorrow;
And with it came unspeakable torment.

There was not a person,
That felt the...

Blessed by God as a full-blooded Filipina
I’m endowed with great cultural heritage of Asia
Distinctively that of the Benguet “Kankana-ey” tribe of the Cordillera

Or, because it's not...

and no one experiences the same environment.
Every individual's environment is unique to only them.
There once were two brothers who appeared...

Given a box of old, lost things I’d loved and enjoyed
which somehow, somewhere in my youth
vanished mysteriously from my life,

I lay there dreary eyed
And congested

Suffering in pain
Drowning in silence

I sit there distinctively 
Wrapped inside my blanket

Watching the heater
Move slowly back and forth

I lay there only to feel, 
Feel the increased tension arise 
As the...

like breathing
and heart beating,
