Day

Seconds vanished as the dust,
futile to expend alone to lust.
Minutes spent as if it didn't last,
memories be kept or else cast.

Hours gone like wind so fast,
each moment that of future past.
Time has ticked as it must,
shall not return for free adjust.

Random I

Poems I used to write,
slowly has dimmed light.
I, along, may have flight,
yet it shone no of bright.

Genius dig my frozen temple,
find wisdom once sat ample.
Long since been this sample-
of thoughts- some seem to trample.

Whilst curse amids the part,
fear not of its genuine art.
Lessons, itself shall impart,
through path where to start.

I

How can you find someone who's gone for a while?
Will you risk your feet for a run of thousand mile?
Else, swim breathless from long river of Nile?
You choose, or I leave it to your own style.

Tonight, I shall bid my goodbye,
I will see you 'til candle lit die.
Farewell isn't my whitest lie,
Nevertheless, it's just I.

Quadrant III

i

The night almost started,
with love so highly wired.
Yearning atlast been battled;
beside each other, fired.

Never seemed to derange,
warm breaths in exchange.
Dauntlessness out of range,
that wasn't likely strange.

Caressing with all the trust,
drained from relentless lust.
Cautious moans either must,
until climax came to last.


ii

Thought they won't meet,
'cuz you surely do very neat.
Allowed loads to come'n spit,
multiple shots hit, oh shit.

Calmness you've self-given,
certain about as high as ten.
Believed that won't happen,
did it sometimes even then.

'Til part of calendar lapsed,
monthly visit then unpassed.
Still no flood has reflushed,
felt like you wanna collapse.


iii

Got yourself an OTC-test kit,
to ease worries just a bit.
Dropped your sample in it,
and showed lines, as if it lit.

It plotted on the third plane,
two dashes ran and craned.
You nearly lost your sane,
wished to ride away by train.

Butterflies flew to stomach,
all might be taken aback.
Self won't do the egg crack,
orelse you shall be sacked.


Excess:

iv

Now tell me you can figure,
the title of this literature.
Hints I have shown so pure,
I know you've guessed for sure.

Goodnight

Goodnight, night.

Just hold me right;
but not so tight.
I still wanna see bright,
of tomorrow's light.

Nightmares which bite;
allow me to fight.
Deliver me from fright;
weakness in despite.

Whatever's my flight,
I'll forget it tonight.
Sleep high-height,
like stillness of kite.

Taghiyawat

paggising agad sumambulat,
'di pa man nakakamulat;
ng kamay kanyang sinalat,
namimintog tila Mt. Ararat.

sabi ng ilan-ilan,
ika'y sadyang natitipuhan.
kaya ka tinubuan,
hiwatig daw ng karikitan.

laban naman ng medisina,
ito daw'y namamana;
o kaya'y 'di sapat na protina,
mani't tsokolate isama na.

ginawa lahat ng paraan,
para kumpol ay mag-alisan.
ng hindi mapagtabuyan,
umabot tuloy sa tirisan.

tunay ngang nakakatamlay,
pag tumubo lahat ng sabay.
kulang na aking pag-alalay,
amorpropyo'y sasablay.

Pity

Words echoed back through the wall,
it hit me like that of from a fire ball.
Has already been taken its toll,
self now faces vengeful trouble.

I have heard the sharpest answer,
of your mind you unhesitatingly utter.
Then my reply sounded in obvious stutter,
enough you have killed me like forever.


"I don't love you even so little,
pity you-- that in my heart alone settle."

"I should have known it earlier,
so I don't appear like a stupid martyr."


Tonight seemed the hardest fall,
allow me to cry them all.
To the floor my heart stumble,
deeply wounded while I discreetly howl.

I hugged myself with strangest fear,
goodbye came here so very near.
Might it happen tomorrow dear,
prepare ourselves by the pain of spear.

Spratlys

Look at the geography,
can't you see what I see.
Ain't near to your locality,
visit some trained in ophthalmology.

Oh yes now I knew,
your eyes can see few.
You widen that view,
cut the claim you sew.

Your land has a lot,
richness there it sat.
Great history plot,
with high economic stat.

Ours have just dot,
but much of hotspot.
Wits we've only got,
but in war we cannot.

That greed you stop,
or else you shall flop.
God decides in a pop,
He'll take us on top.

In battle there's big shot,
truly we have slot.
We'd share gold pot,
but that island-- NOT!


PS:
In this work no name drop,
you guess unlike bebop.
Ears don't prep to clap,
our rights I just face-slap.

Baliw

Sa lugar na kay lawak,
patuloy ang pag-apak.
Patutunguha'y 'di binalak,
saan man mapasalampak.

Naglalakad ng yapak,
kasuotan ay wasak.
Lumilipad syang utak,
sabayan pa ng halakhak.

Banil ay puno sa katawan,
dumi nakuha sa daanan.
Amoy tila may kasamaan,
'wag nalang pakialaman.

Kumukulo man ang tiyan,
'di inda kung walang laman.
Pagtulog ang kasagutan,
kahit sa paligid umuulan.

Kung minsan pa'y napaaway,
sa mga matang pasaway.
Kamay nila'y kumakampay,
layas, talsik pa kanilang laway.

Madalas sila'y nagtatawanan,
kapag ako'y napapadaan.
Sambit nalang'y katanungan;
sino ba nasa tamang katinuan.

Baliw aking isip't damdamin,
'yan hindi nila masalamin.
Panibagong mundo na akin,
kasayahan duo'y naangkin.

Hokum I

Words I pick,
I'll be humming.
I won't speak,
keep on list'ning.

There's no trick,
it's just nothing.
Be unique,
that, I'm trying.

Has no topic,
in this rhyming.
Free verse kick,
all I'm writing.

Make this slick,
ain't for sliding.
Time to tick,
which I'm aiming.

Shan't you mimic,
what I'm doing.
Yours won't click,
sincerely reminding.
