The In the Know

Picture from POSTSECRET

I know that you know

that I know you know.

I don’t know why I know

I guess we’ll never really know.

The Wishing Us Well

So, I blew my birthday candle,

The one you brought as a surprise.

You asked what I was wishing for,

I kissed you and said, “Surprise!”

The Dark

Leave me, where the only color that I can see is the very color that can protect me.

STATUS QUO

I haven’t written anything in a while. It could be because I’m busy or it could be because I haven’t felt anything genuine for quite sometime now. I still haven’t felt anything anyway, so might as well capitalize on what I haven’t been feeling. So today, I am going to talk about this painfully boring thing that is the status quo.

The status quo is like a prelude to the impending doom. It is the calm before the storm that is conflict. It is that narrow gap between not knowing and being told, “I told you so.”

If there’s anything I learned from everything, it is knowing when to listen not only to people but to your heart and most importantly, your mind. When something doesn’t feel right, chances are… something isn’t. Instinct is one’s biggest weapon against committing mistakes and fucking things up.

Happiness doesn’t happen in reverse. It should be the goal, it shouldn’t be a pit stop but the ultimate destination. You don’t find happiness from the past. You have it. You enhance it as you move forward. Nobody wins a race running backwards, nobody finishes the race while being stuck in a moment. If I understand it right, you move forward until you find what you are looking for… until you find the reason to be finally still. Until you find your perfectly imperfect status quo. Who knows, maybe you already are in it or fastly moving towards it. J

WHO IS YOUR HERO?

Perfectly Imperfect

Picture from POSTSECRET

In that exact moment that darkness surrounded us,
You held my hand and promised to be my light.
I like it when my eyes can’t see and the only music
That I hear is the maddening sound of the rain.
I want to stay in the dark longer, to observe
The flickering light that shyly illuminates
Our once proud love.
I want my hand back.
your light is no longer enough.

Play Paint

You keep looking at the cracks in the ceiling,
Constantly wondering when water will seep through.
I continue watching you breathing, blinking, staring,
While I let my mind and my heart paint you.

WALLED PROMISES

picture from POSTSECRET

You intended these walls to be bulwarks.
I see them as promises.

You can isolate yourself as much as you want.
I will always be on the other side, waiting.
When it’s over, I’ll fly over each and every one of them,
and save you from your walled misery.

CHAOTIC HAPPINESS

Picture from POSTSECRET

When the laughter stops, and my smile fades,
All that will be left is your sadness.
I will protect you, drag you to the rawness of my chaotic happiness…
… away from your miserably organized mediocrity.

WASTED CHANCES

Picture from POSTSECRET

You sleep at night and look forward to tomorrow.
Carefully, you tiptoe your way to the future.
If only you stayed awake and looked around instead of forward.
If only you ran and played with the present.
Now all you have are plans… and a lot of wasted chances.

LOGICAL MAGIC

picture from POSTSECRET

Amidst the bursts of green,
I long for the biting brown.
Stemmed bruises on white,
thin black strips swaying.

Everything was spinning around me.
Except when you held my hand,
Until logic merged with magic.

I am logic and you are magic.
Work on me. Let me be your masterpiece.
