《Spoken Poetry》Mahal pa rin kita
Advertisement
Alam mo ba,
Alam mo ba na mahal pa din kita?
Oo, tama ang iyong narinig,
Yun nga ang mga salitang aking isinambit
Mahal pa din kita.
Ako man hindi ko maintindihan,
Hindi ko maintindihan,
Kung puso ko'y sa iyo tumitibok pa man.
O baka ito'y guni-guni ko lamang,
Pero hindi,
Habang tumatagal
Mas nagiging malinaw ang aking
mga nararamdaman,
Ang aking nararamdaman
Na dati'y walang kasiguraduhan
Na ngayo'y alam ko ng ikaw parin
ang laman.
Minsan mas nanaisin ko nalang,
Mas nanaisin ko nalang na
hindi ko pa nalaman,
Na hindi ko pa nalaman na ikaw
parin ang puso ko'y laman.
Minsan akin ngang naitatanong,
Ano nga ba ang dahilan?
Tuwing ako sa iyo'y titingin,
Di maiwasang kikirot ang aking damdamin.
Ang aking pusong dati ay puno ng pagmamahal,
Na ngayon ay puno na lamang ng
mga ala-ala natin.
Mga ala-ala ng dating tayo,
Sa dating tayo
Sa dating tayo na masaya
Sa dating tayo na walang
ka proble-problema
At higit sa lahat,
Sa dating tayo na wala na,
Na hindi ko na maibabalik pa.
Akala ko noong una magiging maayos din.
Magiging maayos din ang
pakikipagturingan natin,
Pagkatapos ng tuluyang paghihiwalay
ng tadhana sa atin,
Akala ko lamang pala,
Dahil sa tuwing ako'y lumalapit sa iyo
Hindi mo na ako pinupuna
Tinuturing mo na akong hangin kumbaga,
Ang sakit hindi ba?
Pero siguro iyon ang tama,
Ako naman talaga ang nagkasala,
Ako ang nagbigay wakas sa ating dalawa.
Ngunit,
Kahit ganyan na ang pakikitungo mo sa akin
Yang ganyan na parang nawala lahat ng pinagsamahan natin,
Nais kong marinig mong muli
Ang aking mga sasambitin,
Mahal pa rin kita,
Mahal pa rin kita,
Mahal pa rin kita,
Kahit wala ng pag asa
Kahit puso mo'y di na akin pa.

A Tale of the Ages: Gods, Monster, and Heros
The past get's forgotten. Or so they say. Maybe they're right. Even the gods forgot the beginning, the reason it all started. But I refuse to forget, even if I'm driven mad by the memory. Salvation? It's pointless. No one is worth saving, but that doesn't mean they aren't worth helping. No one is a plaything, but everyone's a pawn in this game. I hate it. Who's playing? I don't know. I don't even know what the game really is. I gave up on figuring that out after a time. What I do know is that I want to tell you all a story. It has a beginning, a middle, and an end, as any good story should. But, I really don't think you'd keep listening if I told it in order. So, we will start at three points; you'll have to figure out where they are in the overall story. The story of Hal and instinct, a pair so close that they might as well have been one. The story of The Husk, a creature on a hunt that would span generations. The story of Mask and a hero. How one will come to learn of the other's past and the many faces they had. Do you know where you stand? Do you side with the gods, the hero, the demon king, the experiment, the cursed, the blessed, the monsters, the forgotten? Well? I know. You don't know anything yet, so you can't say. So, enter our world, and find out what side is what.

I look at the mountain of paperwork before me. I'm overworked. Slowly, my eyes fall shut. I'm so tired of this... A loud 'bang' caused by dropping off another pile of paperwork made me bolt upright. My maid stands before, scorn in her eyes. Annoyed, I wave her away—this is not the first time that that has happened. And she is not the only one who does that. 'Hated by my own people,' I sigh internally and rub my temples. This is not what my 'freedom' was supposed to look like. My eyes hover over the ring on my finger. I tried, you know? Right now, I only want everything to stop. Maybe read some books, eat something delicious, and nap as often as I want to. Wait...I am the matriarch! Hell, I can do whatever I want! Books? I can pocket whole libraries in my domain. Food? Also, in my domain. Naps? Well, there are many cuddly nooks in there. Sooo...my domain has everything I need—dunno why I never thought of this before. All that's left is to relocate its entrance to another totally secret place. How about that hidden forest temple? Yes, let's go with this! Goodbye obligations, goodbye people who always want to take over, goodbye enemies, and at last, good riddance to the council that tries to marry me off to one of these fat ugly narcissistic nobles. Uhh, I just hope nothing will go wrong during my long-term absence. Nahhh, nothing will happen at all; I am totally sure of it...probably. ______ This is the rewrite of the old story: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/273362/seclusion-old-version--dropped/ Alternate Titel: I lived so long in seclusion that everybody forgot about me
8 202The Strongest Slime
Strength, it has a different meaning to all of us and it can take form in many different ways. Whether it be the financial strength to be able to live without the need to worry about our next meal, or the emotional strength needed to carry ourselves through difficult situations. The only thing that matters is that you are able to posses it. Follow our protagonist as he loses the strength that he worked so hard to obtain only to realize that maybe it wasn't the type of strength that he needed all along.

Annabelle Lee thought she had a foolproof plan. She would activate the alien mothership's self-destruct, act like she was making a heroic sacrifice, then use her powers to create a wormhole to escape at the last second. As much as she wanted to be remembered as the Hero of Earth, she also wanted to survive. But instead of arriving back on Earth as planned, she somehow ended up in a prison cell in the distant world of Garnoth. And as soon as she blasted her way out, she was drawn into a fight between a desperate Resistance and the power-hungry arch-mage Daraken. And they weren't the only forces interested in her unknown power... ********** Updates approximately once a week. Discord server link: https://discord.gg/nE2cDVm
