Jeffrey Dela Cruz Poet Elegy

Verses From the Arid Sunset

Tranquil 'pon a drizzling sunset
Alone with clouded sorrow
Partly anguish, vividly hollow
Armor piercing from hatred

Blurred mementos in the fast lane
a wildfire spreading fast with haste
Ashes all over, scattered like rain
A tragedy right at your face

My chest is starting to erupt
from all corners, losing focus
Everywhere are echoes, elsewhere's abrupt
Thirst to end this, nothing to lose

Interfering my train of thoughts
Your hair are all over the place
Oh how will I ever forget?
Oh how my ego float in daze?

Stressed out, so tired and broken
as I puffed my last piece of stick
Processing again and again
Running out of words 'til the nick

Kp Nunez March 11, 2015 at 10:51 AM Again a sad write, kabayan. Beautiful in its intensity, your words speak of hurt, and loneliness for someone whose absence is so hard bear. Again, a 7. :) Kim Jeffrey Dela Cruz March 12, 2015 at 3:23 AM Hope you could have the to read my Filipino poem entitled, "Digmaang Karanasan/Pagmamahal".
