Long Aking Poems

Oh well I got an angry email to begin my day
Because of my last post on the Jabidah thing yesterday
Galit sa akin but greeted me with Assalamu alaykum.
And kung personal Moro friends ko naman ito...

the sky erupts monsters
sky erupts monsters forming
erupts monsters forming wreaking
monsters forming wreaking havoc
forming wreaking havoc shattering
wreaking havoc shattering serenity
havoc shattering serenity bolts
shattering serenity bolts of
serenity bolts of hell
bolts of hell deluge
of hell deluge descending

I beg on behalf of the human race re. our effects on mother nature.

Help is what she needs, her abilities slighted
Atrocities committed by man impeding her adventure.
Verily, all things are so bad, and by us...

Magdadapit-hapon na't ang kalangita'y nagku-kulimlim, 
naghahalo ang madugong pagka-lunod ng araw sa sinag ng
buwang nagbu-bughaw, 
ang anino ng aking pag-iisa'y namumula sa pagka-bagot, 
isipa'y nagkapunit-punit, 
sugat sa katinua'y walang tigil sa pag-durugo, 
animo'y nahiwa ng...

Bereft of CHRIST, and the very word “Christ,” 
there would be no Christmas…
since Christmas is the birth of Jesus Christ
the “Emmanuel”* Who is the Saviour
though not exactly on December 25
as traditionally known...

Devoid of CHRIST, the...

Hi JOSEPHINE, KAMUSTA KA NA?
SIGURO nagtataka ka kung bakit ako sumulat
PASENSYA  NA, pero WAG KANG MAGTATANONG,
WAG NA, dahil magiging BULAG, PIPI at BINGI,
Lang ang damdamin ko sa paghinga,
AWIT NG PANGARAP na PANGARAP LANG
LIGAW tingin...

SPRING OF SUBSTANCE


Adorable word  drawing a rainbow of substance-- SPRING
Benumb snow-white cloak that drapes the earth,
charmed by strips of  golden spotlight above blue skies
delicate cloak now being peeled to show
emeralds of nature: daring...

Ravaged and forgotten, I await my fate in this junkyard,
Under the fierce sun and pouring rain and snow . . . but,
Still within this rusted frame beats a soul and memories, and
There was a time...

Paggising Sa umaga, palagi akong natatanaw ang araw.
Sumisikat at Nagniningning, habang nararamdaman ko ang init nito.
Tulad ng pakiramdam ko sa tuwing nababalot ako Sa init ng pagmamahal mo.
Dahil ramdam ko parin ang mga yapos, gapos...

MY SPIRIT SINGS

Almond eyes speak: "Take me home please--
bonnie green fields where I may wander,
chasing butterflies and darting dragonflies
dearly gazing to blue and orange streak skies.
Everyday, I will find some daffodils
fixing and tucking one to...

Halina't maglaro Tayo ng tagu-taguan at ikaw ang Taya.
Tumakbo pa ako para magtago hanggang sa isang dingding ang aking nabangga.
Pero sayang lang Pala ang pagtago ko sa liblib na taguan,
Dahil una palang wala Ka nang...

Kung sasariwain ko sa 'king isip
Ang nangagdaang mga kapanahunan,
Liban kay Jessang lubhang pinintakasi,
Ikaw'y naroon 'di ko maikukubli!

Sa koliheyo kata'y nagkakilala,
Katoto kita sa 'sang asignatura,
Sa unang tagpo'y 'di ko maikakaila
May paghanga ako sa iyong nadama.

Aywan ko...

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.

*Paghuli ng Bulalakaw*

Minsan ako'y nakahuli ng isang bulalakaw,
at sa aking mga kamay inilagay
Ako'y lubhang napaso, nasaktan ng lubusan
kaya't aking itong pinakawalan...

Isang gabi, natanaw ko ang isang tala
na nagliyab sa himpapawirin
Akin lamang tinignan, at aking pinagmithian
Wari...

Magpaalam ka naman. ??

Tila bituing ngumiti sa langit,
Nagliwanag ang aking paligid,
Akala mong anghel, bumilis tibok ng dibdib,
Naging mabait naman ako, sinusundo na ba?

Oras ko na ba? bakit nariyan ka?
Paalaala ba na buhay ay hindi puro...

Panaginip

Ako'y isa lamang kaluluwang
dumaraan sa mundong ikaw ang nagpinta
Kung saan ang bawat halakhak ay walang kasiyahan
at ang pagluha ay pangkaraniwan

Ako ay isang hangin na dumaraan
Humahaplos sa tulalang nilalang
Dumadampi sa balat mong manhid sa nadarama
Nakatunghay sa...

Jesus’ Acts of Healing

There never were any miraculous healings
Ramifying the existence of a god or heavenly king
Events entering the supernatural or metaphysical, none
Acts which contravened rational thought, not one 
There never was an external validation...

RAP TUNE:

Kung alaala'y magawi, sa iyo oh Irog,
Ang ngiti sa labi'y, sariwang hamog,
Matamis, malinaw, at isang biyaya,
Ng bukang liwayway, sa damong linga.

Pumapawi sa uhaw nitong yaring puso,
Tanggal ang init ng damdaming  paso,
Sapagkat sa tuwinang,...
