Dorian

Trouble. Brewing on my mind, Why are you so blind? I can feel it rise – Like a dying sun. Brave. Everything’s unchanged – Billowing like waves; Heart inside a cage. Easier said, Harder done my friend, I am sailing on an empty sea – can you still hear me? Free. Flying, drifting – we. ….  Read More

About You

The many layers of me, wanted to know, the many facets of you; Each one intricate, So intensely interested, to see and feel – a touch of your soul, even the wind, ever so gently whispers your name, leaves me insane, so I die each day, not knowing if each piece of your many truths, ….  Read More

Ama

Salamat, Ama sa maikling panahon, at sa pagka-taong iyong hinubog, Gintong pangaral na mahinahon, Ang iyong talino na nananalaytay sa aking dugo; Walang ibang nais, Kundi iyong katahimikan, Saan ka man hinatid ng Maykapal, Ama, nais kong iyong malaman; Ang bukas man ay mailap, Tuloy ang pagsisikap, Sapagkat ikaw ay aking gabay, Mapapag-tagumpayan ang buhay. ….  Read More

Cool-Off

  Sorry, patawad, hindi ko din mawarian, kung bakit andito pa ako kung saan mo iniwan; paano nga ba ang proseso, upang ika’y kalimutan? Minsan sarili ay di ko maintindihan. Sandaang taon na ang lumipas, Lahat ng litrato natin ay sadyang kumupas, Ngunit sa bawat panaginip, Parang birong sumasagi sa isip; Teka nga muna, kailangan ….  Read More

Langit at Lupa (Edited)

Daig pa ng kunyaring ulap tumakip ang  hangin, at hangarin- sa gitna ng alapaap parang litratong di tunay- pilit na sinikap paglapitin kapangayarihan ng Photoshop ngunit ang mga patlang sa gitna na pilit mang tanggalin, at pagugnayin – ay ukol sa pagkakaibang di man mapapansin, langit at lupa, bata – matanda, mayaman – dukha, nakahawlang ….  Read More

11:11

Isang libo, isang daan at labing-isa, Paulit ulit ka bang magpapakita? At ako ay minsang nagtataka, Kung bakit tila may mensahe ka; Matapos ang saliw ng musika, At kung saan-saan man mapako, Itong balisang isip at mata, Ay hindi na kayang maitago- Isang libo, isang daan at labing isang Pangitain na nagbabadya kunwa, Ng kapalarang ….  Read More

Summer Haiku

I love the sound of rain, like the beating of my heart when you are close to me. It reminds me of the synergy of nature- and the rebirth of life as each drop of rain resurrects seeds from the parched arid land. Rain refreshes my mind after a long summer day, of waiting for ….  Read More

Mirrors

Mirror, mirror on the wall, You are the fairest of them all- Your soul has brightness, resonates, Envious  moonlight seals our fate. I lit a candle in the dark, Shot an arrow, missed the mark, Mirror, mirror can’t you see? I see you, and I see me. Mirror, mirror now I know, Your heart is ….  Read More

Today

  Something light, something sweet; something that makes me smile – Coffee beans and laughter, happy-ever-afters, unforgotten summer. A robin passed by and chirped, the song reminded me of that week; Something witty, something unique, Something uplifting, intellectual mystique. I close the book with a wish, on bleak days like these- All I need are coffee ….  Read More

Until We Part

Until We Part Drifting souls, bodies gone, Unspoken words, songs undone, Traces forever etched, Left too soon, wicked pride. hearts that ebbed, Minds collide Not quite, not quite, unbroken thread, Until we part, in life, in death. “Infinite. Unbroken. Into the hands of God.” (One for the road, Monday.) -cricket
