Poems: Madness by the Candlelight
Comfort Reek
the stench
of the cinema restroom
is overpowering,
so I pull my shirt
over my nose
and inhale
the faint scent
of my perfumed
body.

Bilateral Talks
he puts a premium
on communication,
a way to transcend
his and her limitations.
so one day,
his hand vised around hers,
stressed by uneven sidewalks,
scorched by the midday sun,
choked by the jeepneys’ exhaust —
she tries to protest, but
he swipes her cellphone and
throws it down to the concrete.
he turns to her, saying:
“of course, the phone is smashed to pieces.”

Typo
i have been pressing on i for some time now
(thirty minutes, i think)
but i is still not responding.
i is proving to be an irritant, and i
am getting irritated.
i can’t type, i can’t see i onscreen,
i is nullified.
finally, i grab the keyboard with both hands,
hold it above my head, then
hurl it across the room.
one plastic piece shatters to a thousand,
i flies to the open chamberpot
and sinks to the pee-pool’s bottom.
i versus i, i for an i —
like the whole keyboard,
i isn’t indomitable
but i am.

writings are especially memorable if they hit you in some way or another.
i'll say no more except that they were all good fun. ^_^v
hehe...wasn't Comfort Reek a poem too senseless for its own good? ;)
glad you liked them.
Hmm, a Neruda in the making...
they're cute. i liked comfort reek. hahaha.. your words are amazing even though they talked of small things only.. :D
i liked "typo" best of all....
very Insightful :)
to abaniko: thanks, but i believe that's too big of a compliment.. ;)
to yayam: Comfort Reek is short, but i'm definitely amused by it. my poetry (if u can call it that) focuses more on 'petty' things. it has been a habit, haha. and thank you so much for the kind words, yayam.
to claudzki: thanks. as soon as i finished scribbling Typo on the back pages of my notebook, i knew i had a good one :D (or at least, good enough for me..)
Your poems are pleasant to read, at some points really funny! But I keep thinking of the poor cell phone.. :))
:)
hi, corsi! Comfort Reek is hilarious.
to viruswitch: thanks! but how about the poor girl? (i'm very much a cruel storyteller, i guess... inflicting this and that pain on this and that character, including cellphones :P)
to bing: hi tita! :D salamat po.
Very nice. Very talented!
Thanks for the visit.

and yes i'm now sorting out what i'm going to do!
to c.jordan: thanks, man.
to kita: hey, that's a cute way of putting it! ;) as for the sorting -- good for you. i'm not done yet with mine. the algorithm's taking up too much computational power, methinks.
i am more attracted to the picture.
how did you get that photo of me?
kidding. ;)
I loved the first one so much Id rather not read the others fearing I might like it lesser.
to little light: call me a stalker. i have my ways. just kiddin!
to de.vile: honestly, at first i didn't know if i was going to post the first poem...but then the Muses whacked me on the head for my indecision, hissing to my ear, "post it! post it! post it! silly poems sometimes make good reads."
were they right about that. ;) thanks.
