A Sonnet of Emptiness

October 31, 2005

Gunslinger_tower Nothing but emptiness

of knowing I don’t belong

Upon the midnight stars I awake

Marvelling on the deepest darkest secret of the night

Waiting for dawn to wake

Leading me to my own.

Can’t see through the darkness of night

Missing the clouds in my skies

Who sees me through the horizon

Every moment as I awake

I used to see myself entwined

Upon the branches of my trees

But the trees seem to have died

For now there’s not even a leaf to hold on to.

Luha

October 31, 2005

Sa bawat patak ng mga luha

unti-unti kong nakikita

ang mga pangyayaring

umaalpas sa aking mga kamay.

Mga gunitang hindi mapigilang

tila lumalayo sa aking kamalayan.

Sa bawat patak ng mga luha

unti-unting naagnas

ang pagkatao kong

tila upos ng sigarilyong

lumilipad sa hanging

walang patutunguhan,

tila kandilang nauubos

sa tindi ng init ng apoy

na pumapatay sa aking kalooban.

Ang mga luha’y papatak

at unti-unting matutuyo.

Ganundin ikaw,

unti-unting lumalayo.

At ako,

unti-unting nilalamon

sooo happy… bought a new accessory for my ipod.. a new camera connector… found out though that it’s cheaper online.. but heck I still have to pay for shipping for that… so quits lang… got it from MOBILE1 at The Podium yesterday.. I was dying to buy that from the day I learned that I could actually store my photos from my Sony DSC-V1 to my iPOD photo… =)

Ipod_camera_connect_125I tested it the moment I got home and it worked perfectly fine.. but my iPOD doesn’t seem to be working fine… all the other photos were erased for the second time around.. sigh… weniways..this will be well used for the budding digital photographer in me..
