The elder

The wind that pushes
me over the edge of the sea,
it hurts my feelings

The friend's dilemma

Two roads will not meet
unless she is not ready
and has fallen quick.

The pet

You were the feline
that used to fill up my mind
things not so nonsense.

The neighbor's kid

The name like that of
my father's; the face i have
long wanted to see.

I have a confession to make: when i was younger, i used to have a crush on our next-door neighbor's eldest. My gradeschool friends know him too, and also had the same feelings as me, though i've never told them how i felt back then. Haha. A few years back, their family have migrated to another country and just a few months ago his younger siblings have come back for a short vacation. And now it seems to be his turn. It's been so long since i've last seen him, even before they went to another country (just goes to show how rarely i get out of the house, but he's also often out then because of school) and i hope, just before he goes back, to get a glimpse of him even for just one moment. Haha.

April star

A lone star shining
across the dark velvet sky
a winged metal bird.

I was walking home when i saw this single shining object in the dark sky. As i continued walking, i saw its profile better and saw that it was an airplane. It was so beautiful to watch. It seemed like a big star shining in the sky.

Betrayal

There a will written
unbeknownst to only one -
angry was the one.

Luna's secret

Tell tales of the moon
are hidden behind the clouds
without them knowing.

Natural

For a long time the
earth has bestowed its blessings,
but where is the earth?

Virtuoso

When piles of paper
fly away into nothing,
that - is called patience.

This is dedicated to me and my friend, who worked for days copying data we need for our thesis.

Well, let's just say that i've been inspired. So if any soul gets lost in this part of the world wide web, you'll probably see more haikus from this point forward :)

The bait

there is the shark bait;
though sharks have come around, they
do not get a bite.

Otanjoubi Omedetou, Miharu-sama...

Sunday. We're on our way to Quezon. Since i was not able to get some sleep that night, i was sleeping during most of the trip. I woke up when we stopped over to eat some breakfast. When we were back on the road, i've decided to check my cellphone. And then i saw that reminder.

It made me realize...it's already that time of the year, and i almost forgot.


Where are you? It's been more than a year since i've heard from you. Actually, i think you haven't contacted any one of us. What have you been doing? Have you gone somewhere else? I don't know how to contact you anymore. I obviously can't call at your landline. And i can't even get a reply from your mom. I have no idea what has happened to you after that incident...


It's probably my fault. I've been too busy to even check on how my friends are doing. I feel sad remembering our adventures back then. How long has it been? Two years?

I really hope that we could get together again. Just like the old times.



Please, if you happen to read this, i'd LOVE to hear from you. Cos i really, really miss you. I think the others do too.

尊敬

It’s SO not polite to stare. Even for only a few seconds. It’s a fact.


And then it dawned on me, of all the times I stared at other people, this is probably my karma… >.<
