Random Leaf #597

You just know you're the main character if you could hear the world literally speaking to you through others. And you understand.

And suddenly the sea just open up and swallow you. You don't know what happened or what is about to happen. And you have no control or whatsoever. The currents are just dragging down deeper and deeper. In the depths, probably air is the last of your worries.

----

Suddenly—
the sea opens up and swallows you.
You don’t know what happened
or what is about to happen.
You have no control.
The currents drag you down—
deeper and deeper.

In the depths—
air is your least concern.

Aalon ang hangin,
sasayaw ang mga ulap.
Bughaw na kalangitan,
Sisisirin ng mga mata.
At sa kalaliman ng alapaap
mata ng araw pahikab-hikab.

(The winds ebbs
as the clouds dance.
Blue sky,
Are what eyes could fathom.
And in the depths of sky,
yawns the eye of the sun.)

Mga batang nangingisda ng ulap.
Diwa ang pain
at saranggolang yagit
ang mumunting pamingwit.

(Little children fishing for clouds,
their thoughts are bait
and the rugged kite
is their little fishing hook.)

There's nothing wrong with that. It's just a guy in love. With a noose tied to his neck. Perfectly normal.

I also look forward to hearing lies. They make up for better stories.

There were too many too few. He will never have enough while she will always have more than she needs.

Once again, I find myself unable to breathe as memories of her flood my mind and drown me in sorrow. I long to forget, but my heavy heart feels it deserves to suffer.

Random Leaf #589

Despite her feats of greatness, she was only human, nothing more.

Random Leaf #588

Instead of hating the world, she asked for forgiveness.

Random Leaf #587

It's tragic that we live in a beautiful yet cruel world.

Random Leaf #586

The more she loves, the more she loses her humanity. No mere mortal could ever love like her. It was selfless, unconditional and pure.

Random Leaf #585

A god of an empty world writes stories. His loneliness overflow.

Random Leaf #577

It's because of love that the world needs heroes.

Random Leaf #576

In the sea of dark, a certain glow, whatever color that light maybe. It will always be a sign.

Random Leaf #575

The flags are all over. I must not get attached. Or else, even the tears of heaven won't be enough.

Random Leaf #574

Like moths in trance, my heart gets attracted to which would burn me ablaze.

Random Leaf #573

Her eyes were made of stars. Her tears were galaxy overflowing. She was never meant to cry.

They were unguided, unloved and abandoned. They serve no one but their hunger. Satiate their needs and you'll be their master for a little. Or at the very least, until you can longer feed them. Let me warn you, though, they tend to bite hands of those who reach out to them.

Random Leaf #571

His anger is of the desert heated sun. No amount of sea could quench its scorch.

After a long time, it's finally nice to meet you.

Random Leaf #569

Yet they are blinded and still continue on leading. Who will see for the rest of them?

Random Leaf #568

Were it not for the rope, I'd mistake them for angels.

Random Leaf #567

They were hanging under a churchyard tree. It was all too surreal.

Random Leaf #566

If only the world could see your beauty. We might have never met.

Random Leaf #565

To blind who loves his mother. She will always be beautiful though he may have never seen her.

Random Leaf #564

Would they be fools running rampant mockery, if in case they believe yet have no faith?

Leaves that fell elsewhere

Leaves 563 to 654, are missing. I have to go back.

What if she realized, she herself has become what hurts what she loves most? Is it not only right for her to just disappear? She may have hurted him for at least once more but she knew it's for the best. She lives on, my friend. Rest assured. She's alive and well.

At the price of his tears, he would grow. And as her own price she set. She knew it is what should be. It was not only he that got hurt. She too felt it.

Random Leaf #1334

In this fucked up world we live in. It is normal for one to die as a hero than one to live as a hero.

Random Leaf #1333

Some things that soothe and some things that heal, can both be one and different.
