DELUBYO NG PEBRERO

Ang mga damo'y tila nakayuko
Sa mga burol na nanlulumo
Ang hangin ay tinulak ang ulap
Na tinago ang araw na wala nang andap
Ang langit ay huminga ng malalim
At pinakawalan ang kidlat na matalim
Dagundong ng kulog ang hagulgol
Sa damdamin ng pusong nasapol
At pumatak na ang ulan sa malungkot na kalangitan
Habang ang bahang dugo ay hihimlay sa karagatan
Ang bundok ay gumuguho
Ang bulkan ay bumubugso
Upang idura ang nagliliyab nitong "lava"
Na malapit nang mamuong ginintuang "magma"
Lahat ay sabay sabay sa pagkaganap
Ang delubyo sa katorse ng pebrero
Minsan na akong sinabihan
Di naniwala hanggang naganap ang kapalaran

THE SWEETEST INSECT

Title: The Sweetest Insect

In the garden as I ponder
I saw insects that wander
Fly from flower to flower
Hop the leaves and under

Then I begin to wonder which among is sweet
Is it the QUEEN BEE along with its fleet?
Is it the industrious and with its platoon?
or the "Caterpie" within the cocoon?

The queen bee mandates its fleet
To make royal jelly and the eternal sweet
But does it make them sweet at all?
When its men after the sweet, they fall?

Is it the royal ants then?
of which nature's and man's sweet they have stolen?
Does it make them sweet when they are easily blown?
And in a pool of sweet they drown?

Aye! these two royalties are no sweet!
For they only know what's "outside" sweet
They smell but they don't see beauty
Not like the sweetest insect I know which flies freely

It has gay colors and knows which is beauty
By flying to-and-fro crowns of royalty
It digs for inner radiance
As it sips the sweet all at once

It is the sweetest I have seen
For beauty it sees from within
"Catterpie" into a "Butterfree"
That's why it's "butterflies on our tummy"

FADED MEMOIRS

Title: Faded Memoirs

I dug for a bone but found none
Remembering where I buried but now gone
Got a shovel but of size one
Will I ever see even just a fungous bun?

Sitting on a swing chair on the porch
Everything pitch black except by the torch
Like a butterfly I drew near and got scorched
Fell to the floor and thumped by a horse

I knew I had to dig a hole
And be brave like a bull
Forget and no longer reminisce
The conglomeration of joy and pain i have finished

Hell and heaven, it's their conspiracy
For me to act human and love should I see
Experience the world's great wonder
And feel the chill as I ponder

But the subject crawls no more
As my spine loses its intense amour
Towards the one that made me feel glamor
And made me feel protected in an armor

I used to see through a crystal window
However no more due to eternal dew
I used to feel like a condemned widow
But faded memoirs made me feel anew

Romantic Dilemna

Title: Romantic Dilemma

The sweet aroma of petals fills my nostrils,
As your gentle ways give me the thrills.
Your words caress my fragile heart
Like you're a being that would not hurt.

A deafening pitch of sound broke the rhythm of my recall
Like a window glass hit by a baseball.
As my hand bleed when I picked the broken glass together,
And remember I am committed with another.

Should I or should I not?
Loosen or tighten the knot?
Would I or would not I?
Think of them, or we, or just I?

NOSTALGIC EUPHORIA

Silence surrounds my solitude
As the distant past beckons
Nostalgia seeps deep down my bones
When memoirs fill up the latitude

'Twas when the falcon soared up to heaven
And fell for the voice of an angel
The sky met earth, that was when
'Til heaven bound with hell as well

'Twas the most outstanding emotion felt
When an angel's heart, the falcon did melt
"Euphoria in Utopia", That's how it was
Great as it was, but now just a past

Sonnet of the Fragile

Oh heavens, i am a damsel in distress
For I have been gullible to the tricks of a lord
as he showed me great magic, not the less
great courage and strength as he proved he is bold

On a duel he won my smile
By the crowd he earned lots of praise
He traveled an extra mile
To have my heart and take me from my base

Bold as he is but wicked in nature
Treated me as trophy just for display
Trust and love for us he did never nurture
Even when his whims and caprices I did obey

I dreamt too high and believed too much
Now I am broken just because of a hunch

free me from being solitary

i was walking down an isle of darkness
i was happy as i glided with finesse
like a doe, i hopped through and through
'til i saw a light out of the blue
enticing as it was
i raced myself to it fast
but the pitch black gap was vast
that it faded before i reach it at last
i was happy alone in the dark
but the light gave my existence a spark
that made me look for it wherever it may be
probably, from being a soledad i wanted to be free

apologies

i am human...
i commit mistakes...
and i apologize when i know
i am at fault

here is a poem i dedicated to one of my cyber friends - 'carlo' for offending him a couple of weeks ago...
