Saying goodbye
March 31, 2008Cusp
This month’s almost over
Along with many things:
My wanton, careless ways
Caught up with me finally;
Discontent helped me cope
Losing an indifferent lover;
The threat of facing penury
Becoming just that–unreal.
A new month’s about to start–
My life feels the same way.

Mommie dearest
March 28, 2008Birthday Poem
Sa kanyang kaarawan
Alay ko’y ito lamang:
Ilang salita’t linyang
Aking inaasahang
Maging mga bulaklak
At magdulot ng galak
Na di agad lilisan
Sa kanyang kaarawan.
Happy Birthday, Ma!

Convalescence
March 15, 2008Recovery
Everything felt new
This morning:
Sun, wind and bird-song.
The past weeks spent
In deep pain
Seemed a distant memory.
Breathing deeply,
I softly uttered
A prayer of thanks for
This relief, a new chance
To see, feel, hear
Sun, wind, and bird-song.

Cut and bleeding
March 8, 2008Sugatan sa Pag-ibig
Matagal na akong saklit
Ng pananakit sa ‘king loob;
Mahigpit ang kanyang kapit
Di makalas ang pagkatutop.
Ganito sana katatag
Ang moog ng kanyang pag-ibig
Nang madali kong matibag
Ang pader nitong pasakit.
