Best Blanca Poems
Beautiful as the name you were given,
You are a white rose…
It was a perfect decision.
Delicate and so sweet,
You stand out from the rest,
Not only my sister…
As a friend you are the best.
You are a teacher...you are a model
there’s so much more… I could say,
Like you’re my inspiration…
I hope to be like you one day.
I watch and admire
All the things that you do,
I love you… my sister
This is true… so true.
Your dedication to the family
And the way that you express,
Only deeply reinforce…
all the things that I have said,
Your skills are so abundant
You are a treasure to my world.
Then you even made it better
With my nieces… your two girls.
I reminisce… and I can see you dance,
Your reading, your novels
like in a trance.
And all the talks we use to have
I know there’s more to come,
and I’ll take them all to heart
Cause you’ll always be the one,
My sister... an idol...
A woman I hope to become.
Inspired by a sister's love
Agweruik, isang alagad ng kadiliman
Misyon niya sa mundo ay sirain ang buhay ng mga tao
Mandaraya, manloloko at mapanlinlang
Hangad niyang pagharian ang lahat at iligaw ang mga tao mula sa pagiging marangal at banal na pamumuhay
Kaalaman niyang itim ay galing sa hari ng kadiliman
Napapaniwala niya ang lahat sa kanyang makamandag na dila na tila ba ay parang sa ulupong o dragon
Gusto niyang paramihin ang kanyang mga kampon
Sa pamamagitan ng kanyang pagbabalatkayo
Mapang-akit, nahahalina niya ang mga mahihina sa kanyang mga kasinungalingan at pagpapanggap
Mga kampon niya'y wala sa sarili na sa iyo ay magmamatyag at susubok sa iyo sa anumang bagay
Gagawin ka niyang masama sa mata ng mga tao
Kaya mga kapatid ko iwasan natin ang mga kagaya niyang anak ng kadiliman, sila na nagpapahirap sa mundo
Ang samahan nila na mga ganid ang gustong magpasasa sa mundong ito
Na bigay ng Lumikha para sa atin na kanyang tunay na nilalang, ang mga kagaya nila ang susunugin sa dagat ng apoy, sa pagdating ng panahon

"Welcome to Colorful Colorado"
me and the Sangre De Cristos
march across the border
and Mt Blanca rises to greet us
smooth and elegant
as a wedding cake
draped with fondant
majestic and proud
above the clouds
in my heart
she strikes the home chord
deeper than
the tourist town
I dip in and out of
it's home-base
she's my home
I don't live
anywhere anymore anyway
but for a couple of months
to babysit a kitten and a pup
I'll breath thin air on Pikes Peak
pan gold on Cripple Creek
celebrate my aunt's 90th
reunite with my cousins
hike some woods
energize my soul
smile and be free
from strange longings
titilatations that don't quite
satisfy
dear home
you raised, educated
initiated
and launched me
into this frenzy
yearning and hurting
I return
kinder than my first love
and fairer than my last
your bosom
buries my sorrow
no shame
nor defeat
do I suffer
in you
just wounds
enough to be made whole
preciosa Mt. Blanca
your wedding dress slips
down bare shoulders
dripping rivers and creeks
refresh
and sustain me
in this odyssey
love swirls about
sunning herself
up around a bend
gazing from the top
of some forgotten trail
singing love songs
in a honky tonk
or pouring coffee
in some route 66 diner
she's the loveliest
sweetest icing
on this cake
Pikes Peak
Cripple Creek
and my
ninety year old
dear Auntie
que' guapa
Mt Blanca ;)
