Gulper's Liquids

-

In every bar, in every club

There's a soul that has been wrecked

Wanderer who keeps on cutting ties

And doesn't want to reconnect

In every shot, in every sip

There's a throat that's been cut too deep

A sinner who has no sin

With sight that is too dim

Deafen by the loud noise of amplified music

In this orphanage of rebels and lost sheep

Longs for more alcoholic drinks


Holding a goblet of regrets

Gulping each liquid spirits of mistakes

Uttering words no one can comprehend

Playbacks history

Sinks in a pool of anxiety

Fueling up pain

Comfort in every ecstatic sensation

Taking chances in this new religion

No signs of relief

Hope is nowhere for confrontation

Resides and dwells in grief

Stands in the front line with no riffle

Just let me hug you,

Let me love you,

Let me bathe with you,

My poison.

When Do I Want to Start?

One celebrates today, one missed an opportunity, one lost his battle. Every passing day, we are driven and motivated by our own dreams, dreams with a variety of foundation. Intrinsic or extrinsic, wherever that originated, it doesn't matter as long as it fuels you up to achieve them. There are many realizations when you become an adult. It's not just about turning 21 or 30 or 40, or looking so mature. Some forgets to remember the goal and that is to  act mature and not to look mature, how to be smart and not to look smart. It is about how your behavior towards something changes over time. We dream and aim for a goal in different time zones. Sun comes out first in east, disappears in west. It's morning in our place and night time in some states. Others are dreaming while others are working. People differs by their thinking and how they work hard for something. Some are afraid to lose, some are always winning. Some rushes themselves to make it, some slows...

Crack the Code

  There's always a space between us Gap without fillers Missing links, broken puzzle pieces A series of closed doors, lost keys You give multiple codes They are all indecipherable Your actions are so obscure Making me so insecure You, being a cryptic I, being a skeptic Water my mind with lots of queries You left them all unanswered I'm not a code breaker My instinct stinks in numbers and letters Nor you should give me a case And ask me to solve it without bases Without traces Without clues Without a start to stop or continue I'm in between the lines Of reading between your lines Your spills that are all well-planned Rehearsed for many times I think I should leave you now For I am not raised for this role Breaking something that is whole To fit someone like me In this uncertain hole What's the answer behind every codes? I don't know, I know nothing about you And I think That is all I know I know nothing about you. by: Oryang Bonifacio 📸: Oryang Bonifacio Salcedo Str...

What's Outside?

I always find myself looking at the windows, which for me is a symbol for hope and patience. Be it a window in a bus on a trip or a glassless window in our home, I always find myself staring blankly outside waiting for contingency---but nothing happened. How can you stare to a window so hopeful and at ease if you can only see raging waves of hypocrisy, bruising rays of inequalities, and even stone-hearted apathy. Your glance to a window full of enthusiasm is always at risk and consumed. You may even get exhausted to take a second look and you wish you haven't seen what you saw. The world rotates cruelly to people who only wishes to be good, who only wishes to live in harmony and peacefully but the world is not contented to only bring scourge to disadvantaged people, it entertains itself by making fun of fishes trying to survive the current of the storm surge. Things get smaller when you look from a window, things that you wish you can touch and change its course, things ...
