writing a poem of love
is accepting
new words
for the piece
you've written down
at the back of a
tissue paper
in the cafe
where you first
met.

A poet of culture

hawakan ang
namumutlang
bulaklak
at ibahagi
ang
lungkot
na dinaranas nito

yakapin
ang mga
dahong
nakakalimot na
at
halikan ang sarili
gamit ang
mga labing
puno
ng
ala-ala't pagdududa

Translation:

hold onto this
pale flower
and share
stories of its sadness

embrace
the leaves
that have forgotten
and kiss thyself
with
lips
full of
memories and doubts

Ipikit ang iyong mga mata
Alalahanin ang tulo ng tila ginto **** mga luha.
Pumikit
at pakiramdaman ang simoy ng iyong halagang umaagos sa gripo't nagbibigay buhay at ganda sa mga halamang lubos nang napabayaan.

Tell them about me

Maybe in the future
you'll tell them
about that
sad
girl
you
met
and wonder where
she is now
Maybe you'll tell them
about
a
kiss
you never knew
Or
a
hug
you never met
Maybe you'll tell them
about the beauty
that
was
never
there

The unseen beauty that you have held onto so greatly has been used as a scale for my misfortune

Misguided

Oh but my dear silent sinister
The love you offer is greatly disguised
As an angel's harp ringing gold
My heart beats as does the sole of your shoe

A red roof

Untangle the hay
that got into your hair
Remove the splinters
that dug under your skin
Slowly pull out the
gun given to you
Aim it in the air
Count to 10
And maybe a bird
won't pass by
