Best Basa Poems


African Violet

African
Violet
I see you in the wind
Subtle, beautiful
The sun captures you, 
from bloom to stem
Your dark attraction is intoxicating
Various shades you are,
Blue-violet, fuschia and pink
My favorite
The wind teases your petals,
Your color is rich,
Deep
Your petals are your crown
Where did you come from?
Usam Basa mountains of Kenya or Tanzania?
What do they call you?
They call you “Blue Boy”, but I like
“Pink Beauty”
I pluck you, and touch your petals…softly
Teasing the rim ever so gently
Let me plant you in my garden
Let my water flow around you, 
In you, to nurture you

Pesteng Pag-Ibig, Bakit Mo Ako Ginanito

Sa maghapon ikaw ang laman ng isip ko
Sa gabi, sa pagtulog, ikaw pa rin ang laman ng utak ko, 
Saan nga ba ako susuling, saan nga ba ako pupunta? 
Hindi ko alam bakit nasumpungan kita.

Ang pag-ibig mo na nasa kabilang ibayo
Ang sarap pangarapin, maramdaman ng totoo
Ako ay lasing na sa pag-ibig mo, 
Ngunit nais ko pa'ng uminom sa alak ng pagsuyo mo.

Ako ay isang ibon na nasasabik sa pugad mo
Basang-basa na sa ulan ng pagsinta mo
Nais kong sumilong, maramdaman ko ang init mo
Pesteng pag-ibig, bakit mo ako ginanito!? 

Ikaw na nakaririnig sa bawat hinaing ko
Isa-isahin mo'ng himayin bawat kataga ng tula ko, 
Pagkat hindi lamang sa bawat katha ng bolpen ko
Namnamin mo'ng mabuti bawat himaymay ng puso ko...

Sa panahon nating makita ang isat-isa
Tignan mo'ng mabuti ang aking mga mata, 
sa bawat katagang usal ng aking bibig, 
Lahat ng salitang namumutawi ay dahil sa iyong pag-ibig.

Nais kong pigilin ang bawat kong tanong
Kaya basahin mo'ng mabuti bawat salita, talata at saknong, 
Na ikaw lamang ang bawat bulong
Ng puso kong pumipintig at nagtatanong.

Matikman ko lamang alak ng iyong pagmamahal
Ikukulong ko ang sarili at magpapakabanal, 
Na huwag nang tumikim pa sa alak ng iba
At di na malasing sa kandungan nila.

Sa bawat tula na aking nagawa
Laman ng puso ko aking inilathala, 
Ako ay maghihintay sa pag-ibig mong dalisay
Dahil nais kong malasing sa pag-ibig mong walang kapantay!

Ao Ga Le

Ao dil me sare yaro hindi ko basa le.
Kabhi gungunate rhe h ise fir se gunguna le.
Aj bhi jab puchhti h meri dadi ma
Mujhe achha lagta h
Office ki english ki bakbak bhul jata hu
Fir se mujhe lgta h
Hindustan me agya hu
Jiski god me khele h
Uske to aj rishte nibha le 
Ao jra sa gunguna le.

Nung Una

Nang unang nagtagpo
Ngumiti ang araw
Napawi ang basa at malumbay na puso
'Di na ininda ang hapdi ng kinahapunan

Nagtawanan ang bawat kaluluwa
Umiyak ang mga damdamin
Nagsalo sa init at lamig
Nabusog ang puso
Sa gulo may kaayusan

Sa gulo may kaayusan?
Isang malaking tanong
Isang tanong unti lamang ang may sagot
Ilang unos ang dumaan
Damdaming puno na ng nyebe

Ang ihip ng hangin ay mainit, nakakapaso
Liliparin ng isipan ang mga nasabi
Pero pilit itinatago ng puso ang hapdi
'Di maikukubli ang luha
'Di na muli babalik ang ngiti ng araw

Pumikit ka na at humanda sa pagbitaw
Dahil mauulol ang pusong sugatan
Kakain ng bububog at tinik
Makikiusap na parang pulubi ang pagkatao
Ngunit di ka na pakikinggan

Nung unang nagtagpo ngumiti ang araw
Nagyon badya ng ulan na parang halimaw.

If Mind Murky Remains

What use cleaning up a skunk 
If your mind murky remains,
A fish forever is dunk
In water, her stink still retains.
