God please
Let my ruse
Hold out
Just a little bit further.

Let my mask
Stay on
Just a little bit longer.

Let me walk away
With Pride
Still dangling
From my chest-

Lord grant me no rest.
We all fall short.

I’m sitting in the spot
where I wrote my first poem,
but all I can think about is you.
I suppose writing your first poem
and seeing your first poem
are two very different things.

And your love,
tied like an anchor to my heart,
keeps sinking me deeper into you.

From the rooftops
Of my aureate balcony

I will the thunder
To scream louder.

I will the winds
To blow harder.

I will the lightning
To flash brighter,

I will the hail
To flow thicker.

The moonlight kisses
My temple

For I...

I am a stutterer.
Para sa atin ang gabing ito.
Gaya ng iyong pangako, tayo
Ay didito't papalaot upang
Salungatin ang daluyong ng

Ating mga damdamin. Saglit
Nating iwan ang parolang
Magdidikta kung saan dapat
Ang nararapat na hangganan

Ng pagsagwan natin sa maalon
At malaon nang karagatang ito. Saglit
Nating ibaba ang layag at laya ng
Ating pag-ibig; ikubli ang panganib

Na nakaamba sa bawat paghampas ng
Tubig, sa bawat pagkabig ng dibdib, at
Sa bawat pag-igpaw natin sa hatol ng
Panahon. Saan man tayo ipadpad ng

Lunday na lundayan natin sa gabing
Ito, walang pagaalinlangang sundan
Natin ang bituing magtuturo
Patungo  sa ating mga sarili...
Para kay Khiwai.

Leaves twirl and fall to the ground
Smoke curls from chimneys
Chilly winds blow through the trees
Leaves turn bright colours
Winds howl at night
Coyotes shout to the full moons
And wolves yell to the darkness
The earth becomes cold and anytime now
Winter will soon be on its way
Visiting the world with lacy snowflakes
