Marie Joyce B. Negapatan Poems

I hardly felt your shadow
Creeping behind my back
The way I used to
When days were still longer
...

I had a dream last night...
I had your heart
Clasped inside my hands
Holding it gently
...

I am sitting under this shady tree
As the world revolves without me
No one dares to look at me
This shadow invisible under the tree
...

I will give my life for you
Do you know that it’s true
Coz I know my heart was made
Just for you… for you
...

A tongue so afraid to speak,
the language of a heart
that is meek.
A profound written by hand,
...

No power to speak,
No power to make this voice squeak,
So I cry, I whimper
In this quiet place,
...

Excuses and rants
The need to vent out
This air of doubt
A stinking smell
...

Just a single throb can kill
with every memory of you
is a delightful sin.
As cunning as a fox
...

In a blink of an eye,
I was gone without even saying goodbye.

If you only knew how painful it was
...

You’re like a star
In a vast oblivion
...
