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.

Komplikado

Nakakalito ang mga tao,
status nila'y pabago-bago.
Hindi ba't nakakaloko,
sarili naman ang ginagago.

Kailan lang ikaw ay masaya,
binanggit pa pati pangalan nya.
Lahat ng posts tungkol sakanya,
nasobrahan hoy, ang PDA na!

Ang inyong matamis na lambingan,
sagad hanggang umabot sa kalawakan.
Naka-tag pa kapag naghaharutan,
na-witness tuloy ng mamamayan.

Lumipas ang ilang buwan,
mukha mo'y natatabangan.
Umiiyak ka sa 'yong unan,
kasing dami ng ulan.

Sa Facebook mo'y naging single,
simpatya ng friends walang tigil.
Bakit mukhang nanggigigil,
dahilan ba'y sa iba siya naki-mingle?

Nakakatawa tulo'y malaman,
pagmamalaki'y walang kinaratnan.
Pagtapos ng inyong sarapan,
pasakit lang iyong kinahantungan.

PS:

Wala ka ng mukhang maihaharap,
sa taong nuon ikaw'y pinangarap.
Pagkakataong 'di mo nilasap,
ngayon sana'y ikaw'y nasa alapaap.

Sa takbo ng 'yong libido,
napasunod pati si kupido.
Sa tulad mong komplikado,
ikaw saakin'y naging burado.

Sumpa

Pansin mo ba kailan aking huling likha,
sapat na patunay isip biglang nadukha.
Walang halos mapalawak ni isang paksa,
nilisan ng katalinuhan-kaya sarili'y nagluluksa.

Ngunit 'di lingid sa likod ng isip,
likas, siya'y namamahinga't nananaginip.
Humanda ka't hahagupit ang kanyang ihip,
upang matugunan ang 'yong sariling sabik at naiinip.

Ngunit may banta sakanyang pagbabalik,
may natuklasang isang bagay na kahindik-hindik.
Na ang mga tula'y may bahid ng saltik,
inaalayan'y lumilisan sa paraang pa-wisik-wisik.

Napuna ng aking kahusayan,
sa mga katha kong may nilalaman.
Bawat taong hinandugan,
sila'y patuloy akong iniwanan.

Sumpa- 'yan aking biglang nagunita,
sa paraang alam ko'y duon nananalanta.
Wala man lang pinahayag na banta,
mambabasa ko tuloy todo sampalataya.
