Journey

The journey is long
The scars stayed like a tattoo
in this world of blue

I have slayed them all
Lost a number of pieces
to know what piece is

A mountain to climb
No food, no shelter, no life
Just me and my sword

I journeyed to the unknown
and there I saw how I’ve grown
to be someone I have known
someone that was never shown

And now that I see
A world above this blue sea
I don’t know a thing
Just this sun that is setting
And all of my past crumbling

“leave it all behind”
they told me not to go back
I tell myself that

They thought I know that
I thought I know the same thing
but you’re somehow back

The gift of present
Is for me to face this past
what is my future?

should I run with you?
should I color this one blue?
should I, be with you?

Our eyes met again
with a promise to fulfill
“It’s all worth the pain”
I’m just saying what I feel
not knowing what will be real

but our night was short
you got shot by the future
as I was frozen

I just hope you said
“you can be free now, my friend”
and not what I read
you decided to leave me
a story without the end

Where the night crawlers are

Today, Tomorrow, Everyday by Elray Alcantara

do you see your steps?

or do you need me as guide?

is the moon enough?

or do you need a street lamp?

I asked her all this.

No need to worry

The dark may eat my vision

Still I will be fine

I can close my eyes with you

She told me all this.

We walked with the moon

Shined with all of the street lights

We crawled all over

We promised not to let go

No one did, until morning

Dreams of You

I dreamed about you

out of nowhere, out of blue

my eyes stuck with you

my heart screaming something true

“move! before it is all due!”

you were waiting then

beautiful even when blank

what is on your mind?

I know that this is not real

unlike what I really feel

I know this will end

but I can’t help but wonder

do you see this too?

do you dream about me too?

what does this mean for us two?

“is this the only place for us?”

“a world where we can go on, a world where we can’t hold on.”

The end, maybe the end.

What is on your mind?

Is there something you want to find?

Is the mirror not enough for you?

Why can’t you see what’s within you?

Where will our memories go?

What will be our tomorrow?

How could I possibly know?

Can we just stay and say no?

like a cloudy sky in a starry night

you chose to hide all the stars

just for you

What do you want me to do?

Let you take me in too?

I wonder what peace is

Is it the sight of you?

being with you?

Or is peace being without you?

but maybe

this time around it is done.

no breath, no silhouette, none.

where are you under this sun?

will you forever be gone?
