Indak

Bagama't kay yumi
sa kanyang pagsayaw,
poot na kinikimkim
iyong maaaninaw;
isang binibining
hinubog ng lihim,
isiniwalat ang damdamin
sa bawat arimunding: Subukang pagmasdan kanyang giling at indayog: mga kandirit ay tinuldok sa bumabagang poot. Tingnan kanyang bisig sa bawat kumintang: lagablab ang galit sa kanyang mga hakbang. Sayaw ang dalanginng lakambining mahinhin, sa bukangliwayway maging sa takipsilim; Lihim na bumabalse,kasabay ng hangin, habang kanyang mga luha'y itinago sa dilim.

Forlorn Outbreak

Melancholy has spreadlike invisible virus:depleting hearts…weakening egos...Helpless soulsnow dwell in sorrow:heeding salvationfrom internal abyss.Crawling in darkness,exodus beginsamongst individualsyearning happiness.Like lupine cannibalsdrooling for hope,they secretly cravedtheir brethren’s kudos.Ah, poor beingsin the bosom of dolor!spare yourselves from threatof self-inflicted death.

The Man I Miss

I miss the man
I fell in love with,
whose eyes exudes
melting gazes.
I miss the warmth
of sincere embrace;
the sweetness in the moist
of a passionate kiss.

Sensing distant chill
amidst his presence,
I silently weep
behind the curtain of bliss;
my lips may beam
a hypocrite smile,
but beneath the lids
are lonely eyes.

As I stare at the man
I learned to love,
my heart exhales
a heavy sigh.
Indeed, I may be wrapped
in his sturdy arms,
alas, I cannot feel
the thrill in his heart.

Souls in Twilight Solstice

Trotting the sable pave,
paranoia trapped my id;
embraced in ghostly chill,
each gait was dragged with fear.
At a sudden glimpse I noticed
the other humbled souls:
ennui, pallor and dying,
craving for toxic venom.
Even unfortunate Luna
was not spared from tragic fate:
like a tarnished pearl - discarded,
in solitude, she remained;
likewise heed the plight
of all the weeping stars:
revive their vanished luster,
rescue the evening sprites.
… united with the clamor
of these mourning souls
we traced the road that vows
eternal liberation;
but in desperate search
for lucent signs,
morose tracks still haunted:
brutal cavilers hounded...
eerie creatures crawled
old cobblestone pavements…
With evident inopportune,
sanctuary, we yearned.

The Yellow Canary

Like a sunshine ray,
like animated lemon,
you brighten the day.

The Catalyst

Always remember:
complacency will commence
eternal regrets.

Bird of Paradise

Donning tangerine,
every creature was impressed
with your arabesque

The Humble Bamboo

Amidst the prestige,
for your world renowned stature,
you opted to stoop.

Ooops!

Catalyzing change
in the lives of my brethren,
I forgot myself.

Dolorous Trap

In this conundrum,
I am perpetually trapped:
dolorous, weakened.

Waiting in Silence

Silently waiting
in the solace of my space,
I longed for your kiss.

Sambit ng Puso

Sa bawat pintig
ng pusong nananabik,
ngalan mo’y sambit

Morphed Soul

As the wind hums
a melodic tune,
my spirit waltzes
in the dulcet breeze;
Clueless and naïve
of the echoing voices,
I sway to the rhythm
of moonlight’s grace.
Ah, in solitude,
I find and gain
the parts of me
that I seem to lose,
Except for one, which
my heart longs for:
the missing twin
of my lonely soul.

With this, I left
my comfort zone
and searched for the love
that would make me whole.
Little did I know
that in embracing this stage,
I would start to become anxious
with the solitary phase.
Hence, with this,
I promised myself,
the moment I found
the mate of my soul,
I would do everything
to keep it whole.
