You were the promise that enticed
My soul to fly across the
Vast sky of cloudlessness
Toward forgetfulness;
Along landscaped fantasies.
You were the smile that lured
My spirit to swim across the
The vast ocean of weightlessness
Toward unrestrained waves
Of freely floating dreams.
I hugged the fleeting ecstasy
Of your warm embrace.
I basked in the ephemeral music
Of your haughty grace.
Because I lived for the thrill
Of staring at your hazy gaze.
But now, as you drag slowly by
In this procession of mistakes
I wake up from my trance
And finally see you as you are:
The lie that seized my spirit;
The hearse that carried me to my death.

Hello Manuel. Welcome, my friend. Nice to have you here. Wanted to check out your blog, too but there’s no link.
Thank you for the kind words. And yes, we need to accept our mistake and do something to correct them, if we can. 
So painful. But you know what brainteaser, once a person gets used to the cycle of loving and losing that’s when she can truly say “i’m a genuine lover!” Di ba?
Looking at the poem from the point of view of romantic love, it really is tragic…
Kaloka, i swear!
But well, for most of us, it’s sometimes necessairy to stumble from one love to another… until we find the one who is right for us.
Pero still, Sonnet, sad pa rin! Waaaaaaa!
Sad and painful talaga:( It’s like falling off from the 40th floor of a building.
40th floor!
Ouch!
Patay!
Hahaha!:) Patay agad di ba? Pero ang emotional pain mas mahirap
