Kapag natuyo na ang ilog ,
Hintayin mo ang mga ulap ...
Pasasaan ba 't mumunti **** daigdig
Tatahan ang hinagap sa paghagilap !
Patingala ka man na masdan ako
O kahit pa tanawin mo ako ng payuko

Magmumula lagi sa kaliwa
Aking simula patungo sa kabila ,
ikotin mo man ang iyong tingin pakanan
Manunumbalik ako tulad ng isang orasan
At sabik muli ako sa iyong masid sa lagusan,
at tanging gabay lang ay hangin na may bahagdan...

sa umagang may lamig kapagdaka ' y init
At kapag ang ibaba nga ay nag-aalumpihit
Ang kaitaasan ay napapasailalim
Wari ay kabiyak ng kabibing walang lihim
Bukas-palad mo akong minamalas at sinasalamin
Habang tikom-bibig kitang tinatalastas at pinaparinggan

Nang walang ibang ibig sabihin...
Hanggang pawang totoo lamang ating anihin !
Kaya naman paulit - ulit ko itong binabalikan
Dahil sa araw-araw mo akong Mahahagkan
Gamit nga ang Lente ng iyong minamahal na sining..
Kapit lamang sa tuwina ako sa iyong paglalambing !!!

Sapagkat ikaw nga ang magiliw kong siyentipiko
Na may hawak ng tubong pansuri ng aking laboratoryo !
Pasasaan ba 't mumunti **** daigdig ,
Tatahan ang hinagap sa paghagilap !
Kapag natuyo na ang ilog ,
Hintayin mo ang mga ulap !!!

Imagine..

A cold windy day.
Your palms are shivering
Under the gloves you wear.
With you are your loved ones
Laughing with play..
You sit down on those chairs
Chatting away...
Or may be waiting for some one
Who has lost their way. .
You look around and smile
You have had a wonderful day
May be you drink cofee
To keep the chill astray.
You click a photo
To remember someday...

.
To remember someday. 😁

Rhythmic
Tearing
Cow on grass
Settling rooks
Cross sky
All around
Sound playing
Scent
On wind
Descending
Sun
Gold leafing
The horizon
Obscuration
Veiling arc
And furrow
Crop
And shadow
Poplar lined
Fields below
Quiet here
Above
A moment
Passes
Contrast sharpens
Trees recede
Into darkness
Sun bleeds
Into Earth

As I sat on my bed
On a gloomy evening
Listening to the soft Yet sonorous sound of falling raindrops
Looking Outside of the window
Unexpectedly
I gazed upon a dainty figure that was approaching towards me
I sat there confused
Thinking whether it was you or visions playing inside my head
I blinked, and You faded away with the raindrops As they splashed
I smiled in the midst of realizing
I was a fool Thinking I was in serendipity
While My memories were getting the better of me.

I fear that inside
I’m made of silver halide
I can’t risk exposure,
so my pupils go wide

as they thirst for light
in this room sealed tight
while lusting and longing,
for my dark to turn white

and print on my brain
black and white frames
of a moment in time,
that will always remain.

But a moment of light
means I must let some in…

I'm sure my development
can never begin.

Everyone cares how they are perceived in society; otherwise the ones that supposedly don't care... wouldn't insist they don't care!!

Photographs tell our story
About good times and days of glory
Of relationships that didn't last
They're like a time machine to our past

They're the memories of places we've been
And gives us a chance to visit them again
They'll show our kids who haven't a clue
That we were young once too

Although, I’m mindful of the President’s tweets
and the pundits’ chatter;
And, while I keep up with the world news that matters;
Amid the pandemic, the politics, and the police brutality;
I often settle my spirit on . . . poetry.

I take some time.
I free my mind.
S l o w l y, I sip from a glass of smooth merlot wine.  
I relax,
I kickback,
and I ride the rhythm of the rhymes.

Because after a bit,
the constant “Breaking News,”
the quarantine,
the vanishing Lysol disinfectant spray amid covid19,
the social-distancing,
the quest for a vaccine,
the protest rallies,
the unsettling maskless scenes,
and the viewing of America’s racial unrest,
just invites unwanted and needless mental stress.

So, during these anxious days of shelter in place,
I retreat to a quiet and pleasing space,
where literature calms all worries within.
I find a book. Take a sip.
And, I warmly welcome fiction like a cherished friend.
