Sa lawas ng
dalampasigan
ko isusulat
ang libo-libong tula
at mula sa mga himig
ng alon sa laot,
doon ako huhugot
ng mga tayutay
at saknong na
may lantay at tugma.

Little surfer girl
Framed by the sun and waves and sand
Sun-kissed skin
Slender muscles
On display for her captive audience
Pulse in sync
With the steady music
Of the shore's breathing
Attracting the spray and roar
Of almighty Poseidon
Lithe body
Gliding on the water
Like how she has
Implacably skipped and splashed
Over the breaking hearts
Of so many who have pined after her

I need but a glance
To invite me
To paddle out and see
If I can conquer her waves.
