06 Oct 2006: Flashback before knockin' out

So I'm sittin outside under one of those lit up pre full moon skies and it's so still. Smatters of lightning are playin up there from far away. I started thinkin' about this thing I wrote earlier in the year...

I found it...

when...

...When I fall off the see saw

would you run and help me up

would you brush the sand out

of my socks and mary janed feet...

...When I stumble

over grassy paths and high school math

would you pull your desk closer

and say i'll help you through...

...When I choke down 28 units of learning

would you force me to watch bad movies

and fall asleep against your chest out of

sheer exhaustion. Then when my breath

slowed to even pattern, would you whisper

I love you but I can never say...

...When I get lost around the world

walking in the dark through unknown places

refusing maps, helpful suggestions and

partaking of meals from many other mothers.

Would you be there at the airport, your grin

still shy from many months or years apart...

...When I cripple my soul and cage myself

with corporate work and bills and mortgages

with the demands of impending adulthood

would you remind me of LSD stars in the sky...

...When I speak in tongues

be that language foreign, filipino or fashionable

would you calmly wait for english...

..When the table is set for Family Favourites

would you have the cultural sense

not to POINT and ask...

...When I free myself

would you leave me to heal for a moment...

...When my polka dotted kitten shoes

step off an escalator in that far away airport

would you tilt your head and grin

because you can't believe it's true...

...When I celebrate

because I finally found a way to do what

I was meant to do by trudging another

educational and crafty path

would you raise your glass...

...When LIFE is so crazy

and bonkers and nuts, because

people like me need 28 hours in a day.

would you let me blurr past you but

hold me deep inside...

...When I weave a cocoon

because I am smothered by

every day normalities

would you patiently wait...

...When I don't understand for a moment

would you be my translator...

...When my strength deteriorates because

I've lived long enough and strong enough

would you put your withered hand in mine...

...When it's time

would you...

that kind of writing seems so far away from me now...

I was so strong - just so damn strong but

the past is still what it is - it has passed...

22 Sept 2004: Have you...

Have you ever met someone that encouraged you to be yourself Have you ever met someone who knew what your day was like coz their day always mirrored yours everything you felt you shared invisibly

Have you ever met someone who's lips seared yours and as you KISSED you could feel your souls... touching

Have you ever met someone who held you just right not too warm not too tight

Have you ever met someone who had nothing but had everything Have you ever met someone who killed all the doubts and redrumz the fears

Have you ever met someone who doubted as you did then destroyed all the rules

Have you ever met someone that was your siamese twin and as you slept under a blanket you looked like one person because all your limbs intertwined to make just one person

Have you ever met someone who made your heart jump who made your heart thump with a smile

Have you ever met someone who's body called to yours but never with a single word

Have you ever met someone who made you realize I AM SOMEBODY...
