"kili" poems
Gusto ko ring
maranasang makulong
para naman
magka-thrill
kahit kaunti
ang buhay kong
napaka-boring.
Pero gusto kong
makulong
nang walang
ginagawang
anumang
krimen.
At a loob ng kulungan
ay pabahuan
ng hininga,
kili-kili,
puwet
at singit;
paramihan
ng libag sa leeg,
tinga sa gilagid,
kalyo sa labi,
at tartar sa ngipin.
Doon na rin
masusubok
ang aking
pagiging
best actor
sa pagkukunwaring
makadiyos ako
sa pagdadala ko
ng banal na libro
sa lahat ng oras,
minu-minuto
upang parolya
ay aking matamo
at kinabukasan
ay laya na ako.
Hustisya
ay kaydaling
laruin,
sistema
ay kaydaling
butasin,
buong kuwento
ng aking tula
ay uulit-ulitin.

Dear Mountain hello
I feel bad, I’m sorry
Everyone thinks you are this monster
But I know,
The hikers always make the trail
The mountain has no say
They can’t see the forest for the trees
But I see you mountain for the trail
Our spoken words your trampled ground
Emotion bonds for twists and turns
Our animosities propel your summit further out of reach
“It must be cold on all that ice up top, hu?”
I know your top is frigid warm
Like I said, I sorry. They don’t get you

Sinabi ko naman sayo
Na may abandonment issues ako
Na dinaig pa ng pinandidirihan at kinatatakutan kong mga mahahabang bulate
Ang takot kong maiwan nalang basta basta
Para akong isang turistang naghahandang tumalon sa isang napakataas na bundok
Isa isang kinabit ang mga harness sa aking katawan
Maingat at ekspertong mga kamay ang siyang naninigurong ligtas ako sa gagawing pagsubok
Habang ako'y nanginginig at kinakabahan
Pinagpapawisan
Ang kamay, noo, paa, batok, likod, ilong at maging ang mga kili-kili
Malawak ang paligid at dapat ay maalwan ang paghinga
Ngunit ito'y tila kinakapos
Sige lang. Kaya ko to. Matatapos din to. Kasama naman kita, hindi ba?
Nagpaalala ang guide
Ngunit ako'y nag-aabang lang sa sinasabing signal
Tanda na magsisimula na ang pagbagsak
Ang lakas ng hangin
Hindi ba to makaaapekto mamaya sa amin?
Pinapwesto kami ng guide
'Pano kapag hindi ko kinaya?'
Nagbibilang na siya
'Matatapos ko ba?'
Ibaba na nila.
'Hindi na mahalaga. Kasama ko naman siya.'
Isa
Dalawa
Tat--
Teka. Teka. Asa'n ka na?

Secrets fill the air
Whispered through the swaying trees
Though they make no sound
Nature Poem
The wind is an unpredictable beast
Clawing, tearing, ripping
And yet, gentle as a baby's breath
Strong, frigid, freezes to the bone
Hot, humid, sweltering, offering no relief
And yet, can be pleasantly warm or refreshingly cool
What it might bring, no one can know
The wind is an unpredictable beast
Metaphor Poem
Euphoria is a green too bright to be real
Filled with intensity that's possible to feel
It is a heated blanket that has too much power
Though it's unplugged, it lasts for an hour!
Euphoria is a color that projects too much light
It is a blanket that does its job too right!
Letter Poem
Dear Bel,
At first sight, many people consider you a monster.
And for what cause? Because you're different?
If that were to always hold true, wouldn't everyone be afraid of each other? It's not to say you're perfectly harmless, that's true.
But that's why we all admire you.
Myself, Legolas, Tauriel, Fili and Kili, even Thorin.
Because you are different, special, and quite able to hold your own even against an army of orcs. Not many people can make that claim.
How is Mirkwood? Rivendell is the same as always,
Though for some odd reason, my father's been in a really good mood.
It's really quite frightening.
I love you and miss you quite terribly.
Please send my best to Legolas, Tauriel and King Thranduil.
Ever so sincerely,
Sari

When I first met you,
I was amazed and speechless.
For I was searching for perfection
In my future love.
But you made my search come to a
permanent halt.
The one for me has come and was
What I was searching for.
His eyes reminded me me of chocolate
on a hot day. His hair
Was that of a chocolate river.
His smile could light up even
the darkest cave.
But his laugh, Oh his laugh.
it was a light hearted cello.
He could make even the hashest
World have a rainbow in its sky
With his excitement.
He was perfect for me until he went to
Battle with his brother and uncle.
But I wouldn't lose him to such evil
And do nothing.
I saved him his brother and his uncle so we
Could be together as one.

People people
It's very good to live
The sun is good
Clothes are good too
And my body too
your body too
water, the plants and
the fruits are good
Eat a lot is good
Sleep a lot is good
Love is very good
I love my man
because he is good!
He is very good
The joy of *** is good
Often *** is good
Thank you mum dad
thank you very much
The sun is good
very very good
It's very good to live
thank you very much
I love you
because you are good
