Twitter Poetry: A Pocketful of Feels

As I browse Twitter and read my favorite personalities' thoughts, Jimbo Cuenco, drummer and lyricist of the indie band, SUD inspired me to come up with poetry limited to the 140 characters of the social media platform. It was challenging to come up with thoughts that would be short enough and poetic enough for Twitter Poetry. I decided to start quoting him so that the thoughts are not limited to my characters and seems to be just an extension of his tweets. Thanks for the idea, Jimbo! So now, I give you the first batch of my literal twitter verse. :P Enjoy!



Dear S,
Hindi ako magaling sa numero,
pero bibilangin ko.


Andami kong nararamdaman para sa'yo.

Dear N,
Para ano pa't may panaginip ? 
Kung hagkan kita, pipikit ka rin ba? 
managinip na tayo, tara.


Di pa man kita nahahalikan Alam ko na Na kaya kitang halikan Buong buhay ko.

Ngunit di lahat ng pangarap naaabot, 
Di lahat ng swerte dumadating, 
Di lahat ng kasali nagwawagi.


Ang swerte nya Kasali s'ya Sa mga pangarap mo.

When the night is awake 
twas when my mind wanders 
had taken my heart for a walk 
God knows where 
Maybe, just maybe, there
12:48 PM - 10 May 2016

The blinking bright lights sees 
while blinding the naked sight 
of estranged dark figures that sway 
and fall in love tonight.
10:19 AM - 8 May 2016

All d whispers d wind carry are songs we can never play 
shrouds d familiar beatings tuned to d flickers along d bay


All the wishes we sang to the skies above us Under the same blanket of stars They flickered heartbeats when our hearts cusped.
9:30 AM - 8 May 2016

When do we take a glimpse of the so-called humanity?
Is it in the eyes that stare inches between you and your sanity?
9:10 AM - 8 May 2016


it has always been him 
it was never me 
but all ends the same 
over is the space game
9:07 AM - 8 May 2016


dreams that's made alone of you music 
that plays your rhythm n blues 
my soul that feels upon your touch 
of jazz that moves my heart too much
9:03 AM - 8 May 2016


When we look at the mirror 
Scars of yesterday gleams 
Bright as our hope of unbreaking 
on second chances that we meet


When we are at our weakest We are given chances To break apart, to be whole To be something more beautiful.
8:51 AM - 8 May 2016


It was a rope from the sky, 
uncertain where it ends. 
I grab hold with the hope of falling back to you. 
I didn't.


You asked if you could sit on my shoulders so you can reach for the sky, so i picked you up. The sky…
8:46 AM - 8 May 2016


Hindi ako sugarol pero tagal ko nang pumupusta 
na pwedeng maging tayo kaso, ako lagi ang taya.
1:00 PM - 10 May 2016


Ang swerte nya ba'y katumbas ng swerte ko sa pangarap mo? 
Malamang may magsasabi rin n'yan sa'yo.


Ang swerte nya Na s'ya Ang pangarap mo.
2:13 PM - 10 May 2016


G sa pagbaybay ng salita 
sa pagitan nating dalawa 
upang basahin mong 
ikaw 
at 
ako 
nGa.


Lagyan ng natin ng "at" Ang pagitan sa'ting dalawa Para kahit man lang sa salita Ikaw…
3:45 PM - 10 May 2016


At ang takip-silim 
sa bawat gabi.


Ikaw ang umaga Sa bawat araw ko.
