Immortal Body, Immortal Pain
Marvin: One of my beloved artworks I created. I offer it to all those who feel depressed and burdened with life. Suicide seems like a viable and only option but then, it never is. This is an artwork to express that terrible loneliness.
Immuno-compromised
I have sores all over me:
They scar my fragile surface
Like constellations
Spanning the universe
Of my feeble flesh.
I gasp and sigh.
I hear the delirious
Whispers from my thighs.
These are not moans
But the sole sounds of my bones
Breaking into mourning.
Maybe I should be glad
That something still feeds on me.
I want this love to die
But it cannot be.
It is the disease
Which runs alongside
The potent malady in my being.
Compromised I will forever be.
But with you, I find the strength
To make myself immune
Against all this insanity.
*Marvs, I may have failed to ask for your permission to post some of your works in my blog, but I'm pretty sure you'd allow me to, and you'd be delighted.

I am a young man from the Philippines living with HIV. I was diagnosed last March 29, 2012 just as my career in the healthcare industry was about to take off. My personal advocacy focuses on HIV/AIDS education, prevention, and awareness in the LGBT community, particularly the youth. You can contact me at: pinoypositive@gmail.com
