MY UNFINISHED VERSE

                                  How can I disguise those sleepless nights?
                                               Where silhouette of thy beauty
                                                     Humming to my serenity
                                                           A glowing ember
                                                     A feeling next to never

02

NOW I KNOW

                                            Seven months felt like seven years
                                   and now I face my greatest fears
                                 Why before I could never wait
                                         but now I know the heavy weight.

 

03

DISTILLATION

                                                        Watching the rain spilling down, 
                                             drowning the earth below, 
                                             reminds me of 
                                             life's perpetual change.
 

04

NO REST

                                 It's time for me to rest for a while
                                         My condition is not that good 
                                 But hell, I can't seem to leave behind 
                                          Whatever it is that I must do.

05

FRIENDSHIP

                                                          Days will pass,
                                             And things will grow old.
                                               Flowers will bloom,
                                               And soon will decay.
                                             But when friendship starts,
                                      All of the year it will remain fresh.

LAST PIECE IN THE PUZZLE OF MY LIFE

The sweetness of your Voice
    Your soul searching eyes

Throw in the smiling lips
 Makes my life complete

ISANG PUNONGKAHOY

Kung tatanawin mo sa malayong pook,
ako’y tila isang nakadipang kurus; 
sa napakatagal na pagkakaluhod, 
parang ang paa ng Diyos.

ANG MAGANDANG PAROL

Isang papel itong ginawa ng lolo
may pula, may asul, may buntot sa dulo; 
sa tuwing darating ang masayang Pasko
ang parol na ito’y makikita ninyo.

MANGGAGAWA

Bawat palo ng martilyo sa bakal mong pinapanday
alipatong nagtilamsik, alitaptap sa kadimlan; 
mga apoy ng pawis mong sa Bakal ay kumikinang
tandang ikaw ang may gawa nitong buong Santinakpan.

KUNG MAMILI ANG DALAGA

Nang may labinlimang Disyembre pa lamang
ang dalagang aking naging kaibiga’y 
ganito ang laging kanyang bulay-bulay 
“Pagka’t ang ganda ko’y di pangkaraniwan 
ay pipili ako ng isang liligaw na
bata, makisig, mabait, mayaman.”
