Brian (Yaotzu) Bungcayao Poems

I have never met you yet I mourn your sorrows
Tears run down my cheeks as every line of your letter shreds at my being.
...

Sparkle……….. Sparkle……...
I’m caught off guard by two streams of light
piercing through my clouded thoughts.
I remove the shades off my face
...

Many run but I’m intrigued
The bullet echoes the soldiers creed
Civilians turn but few proceed
For money, honor, or a place to be.
...

I saw the dragon on his arm
Stunning bright colors of traditional Japanese ink work
A man with no past but many stories on his face reveals no words
Every wrinkle ran like canals of sweat, hair, and focus
...

As I lay here
Will you lay with me.
Nonsexual embracing of shadowed walls
blocking out the light of day unappreciated
...

I tried to write a poem for you tonight
To encapsulate the feelings of joy
Elevated to heavens eyes
Gazing into a windowsill
...

If the sky had eyes
I wonder if it gazes me back
through the black void,
an infinite retina
...

Every night I pray.
Still agnostic
I pray any way.
Request on divinities desk
...

Losers never win,
dim lit existence
showing up at heavens door
banging daily yelling 'let me in',
...

It tore me up the most that you never said good bye
I lie here thinking is it better just to die
Hart caught in a struggle like a bubble trying to fly
Cold words that I herd as if we didn’t coincide
...

They called her china doll
I called her for anther round

Her eyes rolled to the cat calls
...

Whatever happened to the slow dance
Two souls weaving to the music
Bodies clinched to a slow jam
Mam, may I have this dance
...

The alcohol numbs nothing
as my nerves continue to run.
If I could tell you “I like you”
Would it be a burden or a bliss
...

Flipping through photos of my first trip to the Philippines
The igorrot catches my eye.
The getup seen as a gimmick to faded colonial whiplash
...

The blue sky contrasting the white clouds
Creates the quintessential image of heavens layers.
The green stems and the red roses
brings passion to the greatest gestures of love.
...

Forgive my bedside manner.
You sleep but I can’t help but stair.
Hoping I can manipulate your dreams with whispers
I could never say to your open eyes.
...

I’m lost
Lost in many faces and personas
like totem poles filled with termites
Which face is mine?
...

The perfect moment
Is the perfect miss
To end it all with
Just a kiss.
...

Man and monster
Prince and thief
The Legion hear my call
...

Long black hair
She drives me crazy with that ponytail
It swings left, then right, and sways like a hidden breeze
Teasing me as she’s looking my way from the corner of her eye
...

The Best Poem Of Brian (Yaotzu) Bungcayao

Breathe

I have never met you yet I mourn your sorrows
Tears run down my cheeks as every line of your letter shreds at my being.
Flash backs play a life I was strong enough to walk away from
But never forgetting the path I once walked alone.
I once asked for others to cry for me.
Now I wish only to cry with you.
Love is of no objective,
Life is of utter importance.
Do not bear the burden alone
For I shall carry you on my back
If you fall to weak to run from the cowardly lion.
To open fields I shall bring you to run free.
Where no corners appear for you to curl up into.
Breathe for me the open air
And continue to breathe
Until father time tells this old woman to stop.
And mother earth accepts you back into her womb.
You speak sorrows but your life has yet begun.
For many years still await your forgiveness.
