Run by Ajo Despuig

We rode a bus to hell
I saw the mist constrict
Our soul, our mind, our life
The world spun around

The room was familiar
Everyone is there
A shot, a gun, a knife
Tears, sweat, blood fell

We have to get away
But let us have fun while we are here
A cliff, a rope, a bomb
Tonight, I will be your hero

So run, girl run
Just run, don’t stop
Don’t even look behind
You can love me in the end
You can kiss me in the end
You can save me in the end
You can kill me in the end

A Poem A Day: Life Goes On (14 June 2010) by Ajo Despuig

Thou has been carrying burdens upon thy back
And telling lies for anyone who might listen
But I do not blame thee now for all is well
And life goes on

Thou has been throwing cautions in the wind
And the wind does not keep a secret
It speaks to anyone who wants to eavesdrop
But life goes on

Thou has been loving hearts that does not care for thee
And killing thee with every promises bent and broken
Not all heart deserves thy love
Still, life goes on

Thou has been kissing faceless specters
And making love to them in bed of nails and roses
Yet, they left thee in the morning
But life goes on

Thou has been living life as best as thy can
And following thy heart in every forked road
If they tell thee thou art not good enough
Remember child, life goes on

A Poem A Day: Up, Down (13 June 2010) by Ajo Despuig

The sky sheds a tear
Just for the earth and the sun
As tides go up, down

A Poem A Day: Truants (12 June 2010) by Ajo Despuig

The time will draw near that storms will come
For us, we face it day by day
As truants for life, come what may
With nature- all- I am home

We do not fear for faith is here
And Father- my strength, my hope
Let us find a way to elope
The only things that can kill us is fear

I am not afraid to open your past
Mine is as shady as grey
As truants in love- come what may
We will be each other’s last

A Poem A Day: Ulan (11 June 2010) by Ajo Despuig

Isang- libong patak ng gunita ang dala
Ng ulan sa ating kutis ay nagbibigay alaala
Ng kahapong natapos na tila isang segundo lamang
Sa orasan ng buhay na walang hangganan

Nilusong ang baha na matalinghaga
Naglaro sa dumi na kahanga- hanga
Ang amoy ay tila sampaguita para sa akin
Lumulutang mga pangarap at mga hiling

Hindi ako natutong magpayong
O kahit maghanap ng maayos na silong
Ang ulan ay dapat nating tangkilikin
Ang bawat kulog at kidlat ay sining

Huwag kang matakot na ika’y maulanan
Sapagkat ang pasma ay nasa isip lamang
Damhin ang patak ng ambon sa bibig
Simbolo ng malikot at minsanan lamang na pag-ibig

A Poem A Day: Masterpiece (10 June 2010) by Ajo Despuig

I took a can of paint and colored the sky red
The water’s black, the cloud, purple
I look above and saw the heavens parted
And a perpetual hand swooped down to earth to grab me
Life is more like wrestling than dancing
Do not make it put you down
Your life is your canvas, the colors are memories
Light and bright is happiness
Dark, dull, black- sadness
But oh, when put together
A masterpiece, a masterpiece

A Poem A Day: Tonight (9 June 2010) by Ajo Despuig

Tonight, we die here
As we again reached the stars
I’ll take it from here
