melancholy

i dunno how i got hooked with these stuffs... perhaps it's wired in my genes, having a melancholic temperament more often than not made me appreciate this kind of expression (poetry). these days though, i tried to think with my feelings rather than being mr. emo. hehehe! i just thought of someone and recalled these poems, i have memorized them line by line...

i need to take a nap.. kulang lang sa siguro sa tulog..

somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond

somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look will easily unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands

Unseen Beauty
author: unknown
In all of my journeys in search of something
I've walked alone, I've walked with companion
Seems like I still couldn't find it
But what was it then that I was looking for?
Who are you that I sought of?
On what realm do you belong?
Do you hide upon those mountains that I've climbed?
Or settle upon the depths of those pitiless oceans?
Are you somewhere I still have to travel?
Or are you somewhere I've already been?
Whether I will or will not find the answer
I know somehow, sometime and somewhere...
You and I shall be together.
