TATAY
Sad eyes that haunts me
Reminds me of ancient days
When your nod's enough
The small feather fly to and fro, up and down
Blown by the wind of nothingness
In the vast hollow space of my body's crown
There are times it mutely wanders my silent sea
Flying above it like a li'l gnat
But never making ripples that will stir me
If it ascends to my clear pacified sky
It dances like a sad angel
Only to the tune of a whispered lullaby
Now as the light thing settles on my barren land
It will not quiver for a time
Until the wind of voidness blows again the sand
The smile that used to string every bead of my soul
Is haunting me even in my unconscious hours every now and then
Like a poltergeist banging outside my bedroom's door
In a dreadful afternoon nap
Oh the blackhole of memories past
Extending its tentacles at me ---
Grabbing my extremities,
Gripping them tightly ---
Every time in my solitary affairs
Drag
Pull
Siphon
Nothing is left of my being
Always vacuumed back to moments thought forgotten
.......... Moments where your smile was nothing
But an everyday spectacle I beheld
I saw you passed by
Moving so gracefully
Like a flying butterfly.
Carefree and naive,
An angel so sly
Is what you are to me
My haunting lullaby.
My hands I extended
To try caress your visage
So beautifully created.
But my hands just hang in the air
Failed to do what I intended
For you have gone fast
Before the sweet melody ended.
Unreachable -- That is what you are!
An inaudible whisper,
A faraway star.
A horizon I could never trace,
A senseless epic war.
But you will always be a marvelous vision
My distant unreachable quasar.
