Zephyr
Mingming (>^.^<)
For the last time,
I stared at the four walls of my room with increasing sadness felt in the atmosphere.
I closed my eyes because I couldn't hold my tears from coming out. Not again..
Inevitably, they slid unhurriedly like liquid grains and dried up without traces..
reminiscent of moments shared with a person I hardly knew.
The gentle wind gusted inside through the slightly opened window
disturbing the quietness of the room.
It rang the chime..  "What happens here, stays here."
I was always waiting..
waiting for him..
he was my zephyr that rustled in the early summer breeze.
I was swept away by the gentlest of all winds..
I swang the door and took my last glance inside..
then slowly closed it just like a chapter of a book.
I held my head up high and left silently..
"It was beneath me to beg.."

Requiem
Mingming (>^.^<)
Hindi tumitigil..

Unti-unti pumapatak.. parang walang katapusan
Patuloy na binabasag ang katahimikan sa bawat pagdampi sa sahig
Paghingang animo’y matutuldukan anumang segundo
Hanggang kailan matatapos?
Sambit ng isang pusong ginagapang ng kamatayan
Sasairin ng hiwa ng kahapon ang nilalaman ng pagkatao
Kapalit ng maling pagsuyong tumangay sa katinuan

Hindi na magtatagal
Mapapawi ang lahat ng hapding nangingibabaw sa dibdib
Titigil ang pag-inog ng mundong sinakop ng bangungot at kasakiman
Makakawala na sa alaala ng nakaraang magpa-hanggang ngayon
Hindi lumilisan at lumalakad palayo

Pagpanaw nito,
Itatangan ko ang gunitang ipinitak mo
Tulad ng punyal
na di na aahon sa pagkabaon
binabalot ng dugong puspos ng aking kamalayan at buhay
nakatanim malapit sa lugar

kung saan ka nakakubli
kung saan kita pinatuloy
kung saan pilit kitang itatago
kung saan
nararamdaman kita ng lubos.

Sweet Surrender
Mingming (>^.^<)
I hurriedly approached the door to open it and rushed outside his flat.
I felt the midnight breeze brushing against my skin while he's staring blankly at me.
His eyes mirrored the confusion battling inside his mind.
Then he suddenly moved towards me and grabbed my arm tightly pulling me inside.
I resisted but his stare overpowered my will to abandon him.

I softly uttered, "I finally found the courage to walk out of your life.."

The deafening cry of silence filled the air. The pain reflected in my face wasn't
even half of what I was feeling inside. The tears started glistening my eyes.

"..but i forgot to take my heart with me."

Then, he let go of my hand without any words spoken.
Every step away from where he stood was shattering the sanity in me..

The turn of events over the decades has almost forgotten that night.
I glanced at the window of my room and saw my own reflection..
The wind chimed bringing a scent familiar to my sense.
I murmured to myself, "the most genuine love is the one that is sweetly surrendered and sacrificed.. just like ours."

He softly whispered to my ear, "just like ours.."
