It was an easy question. Just a yes-or-no. You chooseneither but silence . A never-ending silence. It doesn't really matter.
I already know what to do. So why did I still bother to ask.
Maybe I hoped to be pained by the disgust flushing from yourface as you no with conviction and finality, would you turn away
when I shatter?
Or maybe I hoped for your presence. Even that fleetingpresence of saying yes or no would be perennial heaven.
I only hoped...
The crisp of summer had gone. The sweet scent of cherryblossoms and plumerias from spring had long been carried away to
the south. And I am tired from all the Idleness of not being with you.
Is that the sunrise of the sunset? It's a sunset how bothof them breath a rage of fiery colors-red, orange, yellow-roving
across the sky; how both are conceived by the lush verdant
mountains, yet are the start of two different times.
A sunrise to kindle the slumbering lonely earth. The rustleof dried leaves in the backyard, the laughter of teasing childhoods,
the drumbeats and guitar strums on the radio -- all are animated
for a new day.
A sunset to warn that the darkness is about to fall. Theagonizing howl of cayotes, the rhythmic chatting of crickets,
the low voices of insomniacs -- the night is a murderer snapping
out of the life this morning.
You are my sun...
And that's the last time Iver think of mornings andafternoons. Perhaps you're my moon I had lost to the monstrous clouds.
Serenity...
I no longer touch the ground or fear falling. I walk throughwalks without hurting. I wander as a ghost. Until I reached the one
I had always called home.
Then I glimpse of you looking down a glass surrounded withcarnations and lilies and white angels. I come closer to you... I feel It --
you longing for what's inside. I feel it, stronger how -- your need
to caress my face, to kiss my lips, to drink my breath. But, It
stops there: to needing and wishing. Because --
You can never see me in the eyes again. But I see youwith gentleness. I will gaze at your eyes to make you understand
how graceful the life I danced because you watched.
You can never hear me again. But I listen to you withunderstanding. I will whisper in your ears the sincerity of true love
and make you know how soothing the melody of my life because
you sang it.
You can never touch me again. But I hold you with warmth.I forever will.
"When I die, would you be in my funeral?"
