Disruption

Published 2000, The Accounts: Initial Public Offerings 2000 (Literary Folio), University of the Philippines in the Visayas, Philippines.

Subversive romance in the new millennium.

Disruption

a trilogy on unnamed sensations

Stave first: Lost

Brainfreeze
is all there is to it.
Nothingness
in my line of vision.

Stave second: Taken

You live in my head
Like cancer
You disrupt my system
As Y2K would
A system non-compliant
At millennium turn

You live in my head
Like a dream
You make me waken
In the dead of night
Breathless, empty, wanting
In the guileless dark

You live in my head
Like an echo
You speak without yielding
As the unwelcome does
An unwanted temptation
Taking me by storm

Stave third: Sightings

I am blind
I cannot see behind the mask
I pull over my own eyes
Like a curtain
My mask
My disguise

I am blind
I am bound
By my own darkness
My own unforgiving soul
My own expectations
My pride

I am blind
And I am safe
In this void
Where I remain
Untouched
Untouchable
