Kailan pa kaya?

Kailan pa kaya?
na tayong dal'wa sa ilalim
ng lilim ng punong narra,
magkatabi, magkalingkis
ang ating mga braso,
magkadaop ang mga palad;
magkahinang
ang ating mga damdamin
habang paapuhap na sinasamyo
ang bawat tibok
ng ating mga puso't diwa.

Kailan pa kaya?

Graduation

Damdamin

Katulad ng mga ulap na handang itago ang
damdaming mangingibabaw ng langit,
kumuha siya ng papel at panulat, nagbabasakaling
malambungan ng mga salita
ang paghihirap ng kanyang puso't diwa.

Paano ba lisanin ang nakaraang
mas masaya kaysa sa kasalukuyan
na naglulunod sa iyo sa kalungkutan
at pangungulila sa taong dinadambana?

Student-Teaching Culmination

Good bye college days after. This day marks the end of my struggle as a student-teacher. But the memories stay [as long as I still long for them]. These people left a mark and have etched their names in the wall of my heart. I'll be missing them.

pity

it flies.
it hits.
it hurts----



i died.

Tonight

sober --
cups of coffee.
busy --
tasks to finish.

tired --
over fatigued.
sad --
missed him.
blue --
longed his presence.

Aye!
There's always a reason
for everything.

Yet,
a glimpse on your pic
weigh them less.

Wish you were here.
Hope you're near.
Miss you.

I'm starting to kill the chicken in my heart. Hah! Kudos to my courage.
