"Ninety-three years seem long
But life is short -
How youth seems strong
But life is short -
How you love and give,
Life is still short -
How "is" a few minutes ago
Became a "was"
Oh, life is so short."
I wrote this minutes before my grandfather died. It's sad that he went in this pandemic time. It's heart wrenching that we live on the same island yet separated by different region, province, municipality. So near yet so far. And we couldn't get into him and see him being burried.
John AD May 2018
Malamig ang hangin , kumukulog
Mga taong tulog sa pagilid aking napapansin
Malalakas pa naman sila dati pero napagod nadin
Dating masasama ang motibo , naliwanagan ng positibo

Simula pagkabata trato sayo hindi makatao
Marangyang pamumuhay noon , isa na lamang litrato
Naalala ko pa nga ang boses na galit at imahe nito
Ako'y inis na inis subalit mali ang pagsagot ng apo

Madalas ako mapagalitan siguro matigas nga ang aking ulo
Kung dati madalas ko silang marinig sa mundong ito
Ngayon tila isang panahon na lamang ang pagpaparamdam nito
Lagi nalang silang nagpapahinga para matagal pa namin silang makasama

A free verse sonnet
To someone I miss the most.
One of my favorite people in the world
I remember all your giggle and franticness
Your envy and affection
Your attention and appreciation
Your generosity and magnanimity
I am mesmerized by your feelings and prompts
Years of silence longing.
Miss the way how you mind
Still remember how you stare
First man who says I’m good in singing.
These instant words are the words
I doubt if I can ever tell to you, personally
I Love You Dad!
When you left I cried
Not because you’re not here anymore
But because there’s NO MAN,
Will treat me like you did.
The Nada
