She Blabbered On and On


The most uninteresting things in this world run like the longest hand of a clock.  You stare at them for an hour and they won’t go away. Sometimes you don’t stare at them, you feel them like a sharp knife with poisonous blade piercing through your existence and leaving a hole. The uninteresting things in this life steal your breath second by second.

She is alone.  She is always alone.

The people she sees they’re like the waves that kiss her feet only to leave seconds after. Why is life so full of goodbyes? If the world stays the same for every revolving of a clock, the world could have been a lot more easier to live in. No changes of hearts. The wind blows, we breathe. There will be no birth so that there will be no death, man only lives.

She wishes.  She is full of wishes.

She wishes she can paint how she feels about him like how Van Gogh painted the Paris skies. What she feels for him is beautiful and there is no great artist could ever express. Sometimes, she wants to kill herself for wanting him. No. She wants to kill that feeling. Shoot it with a bullet straight to its heart. That feeling is a viscous animal that needs to be silenced before it turns into a monster and eat her alive. To love is both a beauty and a curse.

She might be in love with him.

His comfort is the soft pillow she hugs at night. The four yellow corners of her room bear witness to the tears that were shed when the dreadful feeling was realized. He knocked on her door. She opened. But then he already left. Time screws everything up when it should have placed things in their right order.

She’s alone, wishing, loving and blabbering on and on.

So Long 2012


So long 2012.
You’ve indeed been a long year.
You started with a blast but ended wearisome.
You were a journey so exhausting.
Music kept flowing.
Images kept blooming.
But I had a lot on my shoulder and more on my mind.
My heart was beaten up, but holding on.
You taught me to love.
You taught me to accept.
I was careless when it comes to caring.
Opportunities came hurling I didn’t have time to dock.
I blocked them all. They knocked me down.
My body felt heavy, I almost can’t get up.
Still, here I am cursing you for your blessings.
I have done a lot but accomplished less.
I am a sad ungrateful failure.
You were a bounty I refuse to take advantage.
I am a slave of procrastination.
You were a tempting challenge.
I am stubborn but you were patient.
Freedom has chained me.
Happiness made me weary.
I loved one person greatly.
But most love must be wasted.
Moving on and staying is hard.
You gave me choice but I never chose.
You were not the end.
You were the beginning.
You were unwanted, almost like me.
I was scared but brave.
The dark night might have risen.
But when morning comes, a new year begins.
So long 2012.

PS: Thank you Chuck but New Year’s eve does not terrify me.

Afterlife


I am afraid of death. I have toyed with the idea of waking up and realizing that my heart isn’t beating anymore. I have thought of that almost a thousand times. And every time, I ended up catching my breath. The thought of death is like dying itself. It sucks you into a meaningless vacuum. And traps you inside along with dark emotions. The more I thought about it the more I get scared.  Death is an exponentially growing fear that engulfs every breathing minute of my day.

How does it feel like to be dead? Does it hurt? Will you feel the flow of your blood stopping? Will you suck in a desperate gasp of last breath? Will you see your body rotting? Death is the end. The end is a consolation of all bad things in life. Life is for the most part good. And that makes death not only sad, but scary.

What if there is life after death? Will we ever be the same person as we are in this lifetime?  Will I still be writing things that no one reads? Or will I write a movie that everyone will watch? If death is a beginning, then what’s next?  Do we have a clue? Shall we keep on searching in this lifetime? Why don’t we just kill ourselves, anyway we have another chance in another life.

I once was told that I was a monk on my past life, but I fell in love with a man and runaway with him . I am no believer of any other life except from the one where I am writing this pointless blog, but that may explain why I keep on running away and looking for love. Which to this date I havent found yet. Well, maybe in the next life? Do I have to fulfill the spiritual duties in this life for me to be eternally united to the man I have truly love in my past life? Someone call Hollywood I’m pitching them a good plot.

What if you have a chance like what Robin Williams had in “What Dreams May Come”?  Would you rather have a little than have nothing at all? Would you go that far just to do what you havent done on your current lifetime? Death raises to many questions. But nobody has the perfect answer. or maybe, not getting an answer is the answer itself. Coz when no one certainly knows what’s beyond a point, isn’t it the end of it? Death is the end.
