i.

the quiet of the meadows
as wildflower listens to the
babbling stream,
stones washed by the silvery
water,
the sun pressing the land into ghosts.

ii.

dusk sags like a balloon
remembers a darkening sky.

iii.

it has grown late,
poetry quivers on the
windowsill,
taps nonchalantly at the door.

iv.

the clouds turn emptiness into dreams
like morning frocks billowing on a line,

the moon walks over
sings of darkness and blue smoke,

the cold starts to sink into
the crevices, conjures its ice
like brittle honeycomb.

v.

tomorrow waits like
a hungry child,
she eats our fingers
and our hands
and we let her
for we can’t bear for her to go hungry
as she carries everything of us
forward with a little push.

you see a man suffering
I see love dying for loves sake

a journey of utter trust
winding down the stairs

to reach Adam and Eve
and to bring them up again

Galit na galit ang asawa, anak at kababayan ni Pepe

Pano nga naman, ang napulot ni Pepeng tatlong daang libo ay ibinalik sa may-ari...


"Kung di mo ibinalik sana ay di na tayo magdidildil ng asin"
ang may galit na sambit ng kanyang asawa...

"Kung di mo ibinalik sana ama ay di na ako araw-araw maglalakad patungo sa eskwela"
ang may paninising salita ng anak...

"Kung di mo ibinalik sana Pepe di hindi na kayo maghihirap"
ang may panghihinayang na usal ng kanyang mga kababayan...


Tumingin sa kanila si Pepe at nagsalita

"Aking asawa, aking anak, aking kababayan
Hindi ang ganyang ugali ang nais kong inyong matutunan
Dahil higit sa lahat nais kong inyong malaman
Na hindi lang tayo sa lupa... nag-iipon ng YAMAN"...

God bless the one who PRAYS
PRAISE the Lord's heavenly REIGN
RAIN on me, then warming RAYS
RAISE my soul to a higher PLANE

PLAIN and simple, he can HEAL
HE'LL save any sinner TOO
TO him, surrender yourself WHOLLY
HOLY father is for me and you


PRAYER

oh Lord, can you hear my PLEAS
PLEASE shelter me from the RAIN
REIGN over me with a watchful EYE
I long to make it to your domain

She's whom I waketh for
Indeed, tis indeed;
She's mine mi amour'.

She's whom I breatheth for
Indeed, tis indeed;
She's mine Filipino girl.

She's God's messenger to thy world
Indeed, O' indeed;
She's mine diamond, gem, pearl.

She's for whom I liveth for
Indeed, tis indeed;
Mine queen Jane nagley, all that I need.
