Emotional Ride

Emotional Ride
January of 2013

When I was on my way to East Orient...

It was a cold heart-pumping Monday afternoon:
the tree stood proudly, 
leaves dark green,
some yellow-- and blown!
--dancing in the chill breeze of winter.
The air fresh yet moldy-smelling
loomed with the thought of Spring. 
When suddenly...
the cold winds changed.
What a creepy freak!
I'm wondering what he's thinking.
I'm right here behind him
with my windshield wipers
switching in the rain.
Those two red lights and
another light on the top
underneath it says,
"Come be my hand 
and I will take you to the sea of fire."
What fire?!
I was focused on him
--in his mirror.
He waved his black-covered hand.
He stared right at me.
The earth moved,
my hands shook,
sweating,
neck stiff like a board,
but to my surprise...
the door slammed! 
He turned out to be my... what?!
What a lovely day!
Oh... yes! Yes, it was.

Matuod nga Kapikas

Ikaw ang adlaw;

Ako'y bulak maghulat

Sa kainit mo.

Ikaw ang adlaw,

Ako ang hayop; sa silaw

Moduko ako.

Honestly, my dear~

Words of hate I have uttered,

I have lied to you.

------------------------------------

Pahinumdom

Hinigugma ko~

Don't! Stop! Don't! Stop! Don't!

(Wagtang pagbuka.)

------------------------------------

Kasingkasing Napikas

 Mata namad-an;

Nalumsan kining dughan

Sa pagbiya mo.

------------------------------

Out of Love

Promised words of love:

Vowed and written; remembered,

But half forgotten.

----------------------------------

Powerless

Great tasting coffee

Lost its hot stimulant kick.

Decaffeinated.

----------------------------------

Sold

"You look cute," he said;

"I am always cute," she said.

"We're in business!" 

------------------------------  

Wa'y Kabu-ot

Na'y pagka-chick pa,

Nagpatusik na pod s'ya.

Lola magtabyog?

It's a very baby-like poem but my son and I did it together. We had fun writing it. 

My Love For You

My Love For You
2006

My love for you
Is as Xanadu
Where the river's
So quiet yet hovers
The whisper of sound
From the underground.

Mystery Dream Lover





My Mystery Dream Lover

2008

I dreamed of you;

You were all over me;

Your kiss so sweet;

It tastes like red cherries;

Your touch was great,

Filled with possibilities –

Even the sun

Could not raise its radiant heat.
