Just Another Friday Poem

Image
Tweet I feel my eyebrows twitching in anticipation. Wishing I was done with these remaining reports writing... telephones ringing... In my mind I am shouting "Friday! FRIDAY!" Neverending. Oh my tired mind is trying... but it's failing. Failing. Failing.   Click this to Subscribe to Reyjr.com

My mind on a Syzygy

Image
Frustrated. My mind bleeps in short bursts of thought. Inconsistent. I start a sentence and terminate a phrase. Don't terminate. Don't terminate my space. Overwhelmed with anger at the sheer audacity. Disillusioned. My idealism shattered. Insanity. Stupefied by the blatant neglect. Or ignorance? For the answers we know to the questions we dare not ask. For all this craziness, who has most to gain when we have the most to lose? I've lost my rhyme and rhythm. A dissonance. A nuance. A knot in my nape that cannot be undone. Should I resign myself and brace for the impact?   Click to Subscribe to Reyjr.com

"Contemplation"

Image
For frustrations creep in slowly in the silence, and the soft hum of the room disturbs the balance of my tired mind. My eyes are empty islands on vacation with a hammock and the garlands of sweet flowers 'round our necks. My defiance to defeat is like fighting against giants. Still I forge ahead for failure is no choice, I will shout and sing until I lose my voice, I will write - and every poetry or prose, will reflect the truth, my happiness, my woes. And I sit here with my hands upon my face, for my heart is lonely, longing your embrace. Must this distance be a harsh neccesitation? In my room I sit alone in contemplation. -reyjr This is the first ever "serious" poem I published on Reyjr.com ever made. lol.

I was beginning

A Theme Thursday Post Zero I was beginning to get bored inside my mummy's tummy so I kicked the joint and split through this passageway so tiny It took me three whole days it was a special trilogy until at long last I was born on that night of a syzygy Puberty I was beginning to grow hair in places that you know, and my voice was always cracking Oh, what about my singing? So I went to the Doc To seek medical support But instead, he circumcised me Now I'm no longer "supot". Lol. *supot is a Filipino word that means "uncircumcised". Subscribe in a reader

Whoops!

I was goin' to write a post, my brain brimming with a host of possibilities, a most exciting Thursday worth a toast! But I'm sitting here instead my home internet is dead! No one paid the monthly bill... No one had the urge nor will... So my friends, 'tis my short note In a hurry, this I wrote I don't want my boss to see My screen on 'Born a Syzygy'! ...whoops! A Theme Thursday post

Theme Thursday: Mineral

Image
My thoughts about a mineral do not come up with several Quite opposite! A general feeling like a struggle... My freshman year I was "Opal" Which now I learned isn't a mineral! because opal has no crystal- -line structure..thats for real! (Hm...I need to shave my stubble) Hold on this is not normal... can't find words ending A-L! A challenge to my mental capacity! Be gentle. At least I didn't use "rectal" In this my rhyme so playful I fumble and I foible I diddle and I babble just to make a single post on my Theme-a Thursday. oops. Vote for me to be filipino blog of the week!! (yes you can vote daily!)

Stuck

In Tabangao stuck For the weekend. Buck Naked, running amuck In my bedroom. Struck out of Tumble-bug doesn't rhyme with: Pluck a guitar, but, luck! I don't play it. Luck! I don't have one. Stuck, Like a fly on a window. Yuck. -reyjr

Losing Sleep

i was slowly falling into a routine, losing sleep, i'm awake and its fourteen minutes past 2 in the morning. Dreaming while i'm awake, my mind keeps swirling 'round and 'round. Bean's bear on my bedside table, i'm seeing my room from the inside. unmade bed looks comfortable 'nough but the aircon's noisy, that's why its tough to get Silent Nights during Christmastime. set my clock at 6, but wake up at 9. xoxo
