Dizzily trilling  flight
And a soprano of feathers;
Dancing dark with a warble,
Spinning crescendo from the beak:
A blazing duet with the wind,
And a circus of flightful singers,
Wheeling around tuneless
Through the air of musical trills,
And feathers and bills.

bawat segundoy ako'y pinagmamasdan
para bang ayaw muna kong lubayan
bawat minuto ika'y takam na takam
sa lamang kong napakalinamnam

bakit ba ang tigas ng yong ulo
ang nakalagay ay tatlong minuto
ilang beses ka ba inere ng nanay mo
para matikmaan ang nasa loob ko

pagkaraan ng tatlong minuto
ako'y iyong binuksan
nilagay sa platitong pinatong sa pinggan
at dahan dahang hinihigup ang laman

sa bawat lunok na ginagawa
ika'y biglang napaluha
nakangiti at napatulala
binuhay ko ang katawang **** lupa

sa ating sandaling pagsasama
ika'y aking pinaligaya
at ngayo'y ika'y tapos na
hiling ko'y itapon mo ako ng tama

Crispy, and yet thin,
its rough curves shatter and snap,
salty, fragile chips.
A haiku to lighten up the mood. Also because for some reason there's a haiku section on craigslist, and I felt like I was issued a challenge.

Gumdrops in Candyland, teardrops in soup;
Tomato red, I spin my head;
And jump now through the hoop.

In the rain I walked, in the rain we kissed;
Paper hats, playful chats;
Forgetting what I missed.

Forethought for me, an afternoon with you;
Flick the light, to day from night,
More love, your love, I do.
The feeling of realizing you should probably be in love with someone. What are you waiting for? Go!

Let's pretend this
fleck of glitter isn't

simply a garish
pink freckle on a

blank canvas,
but an endless sea

bedazzled by a
playful, young mind.
... and then one day
                   you came along
with your handsome self
               eyes that tell your story
           boyish attitude
enduring smile
and
playful ways
opening my eyes to the world again
stealing my saddened heart
                                to give it life
and then suddenly
everything I had questioned
                      made sense

Peeping through my window.
O you playful, ludic moon!
Tomorrow I've to wake early.
I cannot play, leave soon.

Go away! carefree moon.
Put off your assuasive light.
Tomorrow I've to wake early.
I've a meeting with sun bright.

I don't want to close window.
I don't want to be rude.
Tomorrow I've to wake early.
I am not in playful mood.

Hide behind dark clouds;
Or behind mountains steep.
Tomorrow I've to wake early.
I cannot play, let me sleep.

I said, "God, I love you".
She smiled and said I'd do in a pinch.

I said, "but I need you to do something for me..."
She looked into my eyes and said, "What's that"?

I said, "I need you to tell me something".
She said, "All right.  What's that?"

I said, "repeat after me"
I said, " 'wes...' "

She stared back into my eyes and said, "wes..."
She laughed a little chuckle in her throat.

I said, "no, this is serious..."
I looked into her eyes.
I prompted her:  " 'wes...' "

She smiled, saying "wes..."
I said, " 'stop ******' around' "

She said, "stop ******' around"
she laughed again, adding, "wes".

I smiled and said, "no, try it seriously  now"
She said, "wes.  seriously.  stop ******* around..."

She laughed.
I said, "want to go back to bed and fool around?"
She laughed.
I laughed.
We went back to bed.

Just a vignette I wanted to expand.  An almost confusing exchange, shifting from the strict to the frivolous.

He nibbled at my ear and whispered 'Let yourself loose.'
I asked 'Darling,will you play with my monsters too?'
