So before the light,
Hold me again
With all your might
In the still of the night.
In my drunken stupor, thoughts of you come to me. That's then when they find me at my loneliest, when they find me at my saddest.
Shorn of the control and discipline that sobriety uses to shield me, my tears and pain come and flow easily.
I guess I'll just have to close my eyes and let alcohol's power lull me to a deep sleep. At least when the morning comes, she'll find sobriety back fully recovered and me smiling at the world again, even for just a while.

I like your haiku and your poem as well. Ganyan din ang nararamdaman ko noon, when I was still single and so far from home.
Psst, pards... hop on the first plane to Manila, that'll cure your loneliness... hehe. :-D
so you're into entrecard as well?
Hmmm... Maybe you also want her to appear in your dreams, and stroke your hair, and whisper to your ears "I'm here, honey!"
Oh yeah, I agree with rudy.
Ipanema,
Yeah, it could be tough at times.
Yvonne,
Thanks. :)
Mari,
Yup.
Blogusvox,
Thanks for the kind words and for the visit. :)
Rudy,
Kung puwede lang ba eh, I would have done it na.
Lazarus,
Hahaha I sure do. :)
I gave Entrecard a shot. I don't know yet if I'm going to like it or not. I'll see.
poetry under the influence ala edgar allan poe? he-he
i finished a bottle of chablis last night and also tinkered with my laptop. nope, not ready to post it yet.
Mitsuru,
Edgar Allan Poe I'm certainly not. Those were words from an old song by the Five Satins. :)
Will look forward to your post.
This feels like an excerpt from the back of a paperback.
Well, we all have to travel to dark places sometimes. Better way to get there is through the bottle?
Just kidding about the bottle, altho' I have a craving for some cocktail in the middle of the day.
Feel better soon.
hope you're much better this time =)
i love that song =)
I could've accompanied you in your inebriation but I am no longer allowed to drink. Bit I can still be good company if you give me enough pulutan, hehe
Sleepless nights can be a drag sometimes... and a shot or two certainly helps... Hope you're back in fighting mode after a restful sleep :)
Listen to Yoyoy Villame's Buchiki to bring a smile back on your face.:D
hope it will pass. i think you need to dance more.
Here's looking at you kid! :)
I could easily name a hundred people who could identify with this post...
My momma said there would be nights like those...we just have to hope there aren't too many.
Photo Cache,
Thank you very much. I feel much better now. :)
Carlotta1924,
Yes, I'm much better na. Thank you for the thoughts. :)
I didn't realize that the song's more than 50 years old na.
Rolly,
Anong pulutan ang gusto mo? Puwede kitang sabayan diyan dahil wala pa namang mga bawal sa akin. Hehehe
BW,
Thanks. I'm quite back in fighting and laughing mode. :)
Luna,
O sige. Oorderin ko iyong kanta ni Yoyoy Villame sa ITunes. Hehehe
Dong,
I might have to copy John Travolta's moves next.
Fence,
Yeah. :)
Jollyjo,
