LIBERATING


LIBERATING
by Philip Vasquez
"Hide nothing from me, however hard."
-Sigurd -
(for PLM)


You were alone.

The tumultous traffic conceals
My intentions, my longing.
Obscured by the hustle and bustle
Of my own heart beat.

I stopped.

You took a glance,
From a distance,
I feigned innocence
Timorous of nonchalance.

It was the same feeling long time I last felt.

The feeling that tickles yet incites,
The love and fear at the same time.
Frivolous gestures of two souls
Devoid of yesterday's hurt and tomorrow's sorrows.

Tonight I neglect that feeling.

In tonight's veiled moon,
I remember that of nightingales' dare.
To emancipate this soul from broken dreams --
The one hurting is now

Liberating.Waiting.Dreaming.

The liberated man is not the one who is freed in his ideal reality, his inner truth, or his transparency; he is the man who changes spaces, who circulates, who changes sex, clothes, and habits according to fashion, rather than morality, and who changes opinions not as his conscience dictates but in response to opinion polls.”.......
