you like what you see

like Jose Rizal's story, we get attracted to the light and stupidly cannot resist approaching it. we come closer and closer and even closer, only to burn.

what is it like to burn?

to feel the feisty heat gorge your flesh and stench

drip
drop
make a ripple


now nothing matters


we bathe in flames and nothing will matter...

wings burning

we let go

and let ourselves free fall



into



eternal ether



nothing matters






might as well enjoy the fall



you wont feel it anymore




when you hit the bottom.







you only liked what you see;







but you never saw through.

de-falling and un-falling

I have made myself an image of you
i have drawn my ideals of perfection
and i have seen you in those images
but now i simply cant find you in them

i have made my tears fall for you
just as i have made believe i love you
now i just cant find any sense in
wiping tears that are not to come

i have always thought i love you
but now i start to see it clearer
i have only fallen in love with
the idea of falling deeply in love

i imagined my heart beating faster
each time I make myself think f you
but my heart had stopped beating
long before it pretended to love you

JOE

You have let me caught sight of you
a teasing image of burning desiree
nticingly calling me into my senses
of lucid fancies in the dark

Why have you let me touch fire
when you would not want me to play
the blazing game in the midst
of your figure's torrid flames?

I have warned you not to let me
fall this deep; crash this fatal
Now, what was once serene passion
had become igniting lust

I fancy breathing your breath
and wish to map your frame
with my very hands; my fingers
enveloped in eternal bliss

Let me set you abalze
Light me up my fiery desire
and pleasingly entwine me in
the rage of the dancing fire

take the fall

Thesis Statement: Falling in Love and falling for love may be the same on the surface but have tragic differences.

Amazing is the superfluous human language. Horrifying how a change in a single word can give a whole new meaning to a three-word-phrase. The worst part is, increasingly more and more people unknowingly fall into this mistake—not only in words but in the actions they take each day. Falling in love and falling for love, though seemingly similar on the surface, are tragically way different.

Falling in love means defying all reason, in claim that love is something beyond all rational thinking ever known to man. Meanwhile, falling for love means loving for reasons bound not to be understood by logic.

Falling in love is neither something you need nor want. You are not supposed to desire finding it. It is about patiently waiting while anticipating it in the calmest possible manner. You trust that it will certainly come along one day in some form that is yet unknown. It is about waiting for the asked mystery to divulge itself unto you.

Falling for love, on the other hand is something you do not need but badly want. You lustfully engorge into the idea of seeking it soon; aggressively anticipating its coming; and worse—pushing love to hurry its way. This comes when you have decided that you are sick and tired of waiting; when you have given up on the idea of hope and patience. You have come to admit that desperation has gotten the better of you. It is a quest to find something that you yourself made up; seeking something or someone that would fit the standards you have set in mind.

Falling for love falls not for someone who holds all dreams and hopes of forever and eternity; instead it falls hard in the sweet idea of falling in love. On the contrary, really falling in love falls lavishly onto the absolute surrender of something that may come in different forms.

Falling in love is a mystery—you are not supposed to think about it, neither are you expected to understand it—you just live it. Falling for love however, is a great question pondering upon your forehead. It is something that you should both solve and resolve before it consumes you.
Despite all differences though, these two are often mistaken. Why? It is because of one distinct common point that each person undeniably wish to hold. Both falling in love and falling for love provide happiness. Although the levels of happiness may differ (such that falling for love gives temporal bliss as opposed to falling in love’s real and lasting contentment), by the end of the day everything still boils down to one thing: everyone needs comfort after the long and tiring day called life. No one, I suppose, would want to be left alone.
