Hoobastank

There's a pain that sleeps inside
It sleeps with just one eye and awakens the moment that you leave
Though I try to look away the pain still remains
only leaving when you're next to me
Do you know that everytime you're near everybody else seems far away
So can you go and make them disappear
Make them disappear so we can stay.
So I stand now looking around
Distracted by the sound of everyone, everything I see
And I search through every face without a single trace
of a person, the person that I need.

Ang init!!!!

It's a dog-day summer. Hot, torpid and sticky.

Hindi nakakatuwa ang panahon nitong mga nakalipas na araw. Mainit. Malagkit. Maalinsangan. Kahit sa gabi dama mo ang singaw ng init na nanuot sa lupa, sa pader, sa lahat ng bagay. Pati ang hamog ay uhaw, tuyo at pilit. Kung may hangin man, mas nanaisin mo pang wala na lang. Parang hininga ng apoy ang hangin. Galit na binabalot ka sa init at pilit na hinihipan ng mala-impyernong simoy nito.

Minsan mababaliw ka sa pag-agaw ng ulan at di-pag-ulan. Matinding parusa sa sangkatauhang lunod sa kasalanan at kamunduhan. Singaw na nanunuot sa iyong katawan. Unti-unti kang sisilaban hanggang sa maglagablab at mandilim ang iyong paningin. Ang mga butil ng pawis na tumatagaktak at tila inuubos ang iyong kaalaman at kaisipan. Nakakasira ng ulo. Nakakaubos ng lakas at pasensya. Nakakatuyo ng kaluluwa.

Damn, it's hot.

Idyll Pleasures

Days roll by... they roll upon me, within me and over me like some scattered dust from a Moroccan Desert. They bear no past nor carry with them the future. They have no history, no face... just some blanched element of the earth.
