Welcome to the Family, SE 10 Olongapo!
sweet nightmares, scary dreams
sometimes i wake up in the middle of a night
and watch you sleep.
i could wake you up –
but i’d rather watch you sail in your sea of softness
drifting slowly to the isles of slumber.
i wonder where are you sailing to;
i think to myself – i could do this every single night.
sometimes, you are restless in your dreams.
your body would jerk , with one knee bent, getting ready to kick.
i could wake you up,
but i know you have to fight your demons on your own
and all i can do is wrap you in a blanket of my love
and breathe silent undertones of calmness.
i wonder what are you running from;
i think to myself – i could do this every night.
august is almost done.
breathe.
another day.
just believe.
ebb and flow
there are days it comes crashing through my walls
so forceful i catch my breath for air as i realize the absence of you.
Today it gently lapped through the shores of my skin
in the middle of the day, as the sun was still high and mighty.
i reached for my eyes and it was wet.
brain fart
to melt in your arms
and to rise and fall in the shallowness and depths of your breaths
august
be kind to me.
