Russian Roulette

Mister Fate

Rolled the dice

Loaded the gun

Looked into my eyes

Urged me to fire a shot

This is Russian Roulette

Aim for the head

Or the heart instead

Then you gazed at me

My chilled core melted

Demons scared away

Shrieking frustrated fury

I smiled back at you

Perhaps it's my destiny

Without thinking twice

I raised the gun

With a trembling hand

I aimed for my heart!

-Stormykatie

It's eerie

But it feels

Like we've always been

Waiting

For something

Everything

Me-

I wait for the rain

To stop falling against

My cracked skin

Wait for my turn to spin

The hand of time

Or grow my wings

And go for a fly

Across the orange sky

Perhaps there

I can have

A full view

Of you

And finally make sense

Of the fading hue

-Sense of the fading hue

Snowdrops we picked-

All sweet things to remember

The taste of your lips!

You are the dream

I wake up from

Every single time

The stream

Of white lie

I try to get by

With a sigh

While him-

He is the possibility

Waiting to happpen

A ray of sunshine

Fighting the stark

Darkness within me

And me?

I am the girl

Stupid enough

To cling on you-

The dream

That will never ever be!

I bottled them up;

Ready for the next Sunset.

-Tears

-Stormykatie

The pink rose

You gave me

That crazy

October night

I kept it

Fossilized

Between the pages

Of my old diary

A reminder

Of the pink moon

That graced

The same sky

I am watching now

Somehow

I can feel you near

Oh dear

As though

You haven't disappeared

And left a void

In me

That no soul

In this lifetime

Can ever fill

Again

The way you did

-Pink Moon

If your world becomes a desert of snow,

I hope my love is en0ugh to warm you

Stormykatie, April 20th

If death comes closer

Than dawn to the darkest night

I will love you then.

Stormykatie

If I scream, would you run;

Like all of a sudden, you miss the sun?

Binabagyo

Ang dating

Payapang isip

Di magkaisa

Na tila nga ba

Walang ganap

Na diwa

Ang bawat salita

Na hinabi

Upang buuin

Ang isang talata

Na siyang papawi sana

Sa mga haka-haka

Na nakabaon

Sa mga tayutay

Na pilit iniintindi

Ng pagal na puso

Tayo pa ba?

Sabihin mo

O baka naman

Ang matamis

Mong ngiti

Ay isang balatkayo

Lamang

At ang pagsinta

Na ating binuo

Bawat pangungusap

Bawat bugso

Ng damdamin

Ay bahagi na

Ng isang marikit

Na kahapon

-Tayutay,

Stormykatie, April 25th

Sunsets are the best

Before images of her

Filled his memory

-Sunsets,

I always wonder

If your lips

Were caffeinated

The first time

That we kissed

For that night

I could not sleep

Thinking how

Such sweet,

Intoxicating bliss

Made my

Brady heart beat

Quicken

For a minute

That almost felt

Like it was

Infinite

-Almost felt like infinite,

Katie, April 26th

I hope one day you'll get tired from running ceaselessly in my mind.

Stormykatie

Oh, the places we've been

I keep going back to all of them

Keep retracing the steps

Keep trying to remember

How the laughter sounded

I wonder if you tried

To go back too

Is it only me

Or did you try to search me too

Among strangers

Walking along the scenic

Calle Crisologo

Where I first professed my love

And where you chose to break my heart

By walking away

Without telling me why

-Calle Crisologo,

Katie, 2016

Bless the apple that paved way for gravity to be apparent to Isaac;

Tell me which witch shall I invoke to have such a luck?

Chantilly

The garden pond glazed from the blinding sun

She and I sat in the shade of a sugar maple

Chantilly plucked the dandelions delicately as I watched

Her brown curls picking up grass like pebbles in a net

Chantilly brightened my summer that year

Took me on dreamy flights of freedom in lily-scented breezes

Then, as all sweet things, the summer drew to a close

Withering leaves falling after they’ve served their purpose

A flight only lasts so long for all I like

And so she left, like a summer constellation at fall

What’s the good in goodbye when it leaves you incomplete?

Chantilly, you left, without a word, in a beat

You were my summer constellation and I wonder if you will come again as you flew

I search for the skies and can only imagine what has become of you
