up from the hospital bed

Saturday, March 24th, 2007

take away that rusty thermometer and put aside your old stethoscope

i don’t need your syringe nor those pills on the table

i am better

i am putting aside this hospital gown and i’m buying new clothes to wear

so here’s for the bills and the frown, for i’ve got work to do and people who care.

PEDESTAL

Monday, March 12th, 2007

In a million ceramic pieces
in a thousand shards of tears
falls your place of honour
falls into a den of fears

where is your reason now
where is your justice
could you absolve somehow
the sins that you embellish

quiet

here under the cover of night

take this and dig deep

more

more

beneath the amiable smiles

and the perfumed clothes

under the strong words

and the glistening silence

there

six feet down

is an ocean of tears

IM GONNA FIND ANOTHER YOU…a paraphrase

Friday, March 2nd, 2007

Its really over(really?)

You made your stand

You got me crying(a lot)

As was your plan(I knew it all along)

But when my loneliness is through(kelan kaya yun…)

Im gonna find another you

You take your sweaters(you got your shirt na right?)

You take your time

You might have your reasons(good ones)

But you will never have my rhyme(and I have a lot baby)

Im gonna sing my way away from blue(a little dancin too)

Im gonna find another you

When I was your lover

No one else will do(you know its true)

And if Im forced to find another(IF)

I hope she looks like you

and she’s nicer too(or you could be nicer and itd still be you…)

So go on, baby(boo?)

Make your little getaway

My pride will keep me company(andami ko nun…)

And just gave yours all away

Now Im gonna dress myself for two

Once for me, and once for someone new(me and Cati…)

Im gonna do some things you wouldnt let me do

(like txt while driving and play with the soil)

Im gonna find another you(most probably not)

(bitterness never sounded sooo good)
