“Night Time Peace” by Kylie Nichole Medina

Category: Poetry

And I have always dreamt about peace;

Everyday wasn't always at ease.

For we dreamt of being escapees,

from this barbarous world that disagrees.

But I didn't sleep at night,

felt the need to overwrite,

All about the things I feared.

batteries drain on flashlight;

tried not to snooze while I write.

Writing made me feel alright,

Along with a quiet sight.

Then it clicked, I was at peace;

during at thought of synthesis,

that the mess finally ceased.

Skin got hit by a cold breeze,

Sat playing the DVDs.

Then said, "wow, I feel at peace.",

while eating a piece of cheese.

Kategorya | Tula

Hindi ko alam kahit magulo na ang paligid,

ikaw pa rin ang namumukod-tangi.

Kahit na malabo ang mga mata ko,

malinaw naman ‘pag dating sayo.

Parang ‘pag dating sayo,

kabisado ko mula paa hanggang ulo.

Pilit ko mang ibaling ang tingin ko sa iba,

presensya mo talaga ang aking hanap-hanap.

Sini-sigurado ko bawat kanan at kaliwa,

nagbabakasali na ikaw ay aking makita.

Dahil hindi kumpleto ang araw ko,

kung ikaw ay hindi ko natatanaw.

Pero kapag ikaw ay nahagip ng aking mga mata,

bigla-bigla naman akong napapa-ayos ng aking mukha.

Minsan naman mukha akong sirang plaka,

panay tanong kung nasaan ka

Category: Poetry

City was lit up by the moon

To cover such hums of a crumpled racoon.

Giving it ample consolation

To flare up lingering emotion.

Such entity could become a coffee,

A fair mixture of bitter and sweet,

Gives warmth, yet bottled up with misery.

What a shame, none dared foresee a sight.

For a lamp, became lethargic

Unable to operate, aboulic.

Seeking a pristine battery

Hopeless, yet anticipates for recovery.
