Standing all alone in the woods;
eyes shut, I feel the lilting light.
Sun dodges needles through the crown,
beams land on my skin softly so.
Brisk breezes quicken and rustle.
Bristlecone pines ever sway slowly,
while pockets of air blush...

Ab har chehre mein uska khoobsurat chehra nazar aata hai,
Mere dil ka har raaz, uski ek muskurahat mein chhup sa jata hai.

The Great Wave Off Kanagawa

Morning and the fishers put out to sea,
With joy and farewells to their families,
Unaware today, they would meet with fate,
To fight for life with a giant rogue wave.

IF YOU PULL A LONG FACE : Part XXVIII

IF you pull a long perplexed face
You could be watching SUMO in Tokyo Bay
Or reading this without a NIHONG-GUO dictionary in front of face
Rather I'd say you...

Salamat po, Ka Eduardo,
Sa inyo pong pagmamahal;
Inaakay n’yo ang tao
Patungo sa bayang banal.

Kahit mapagod, mapuyat
Ay hindi n’yo alintana;
Ang mahalaga'y matupad
Ang tungkulin n’yo sa Ama.

Ang Iglesia’y tinitipon
Sa lahat halos ng dako;
Panganib ay sinusuong,
Iniikot itong mundo.

Your beauty astounds me,
your voice enchants me,
And i'll never hear a sound so sweet,
Until I depart for Hades shore,
Your voice holds me like a statue,
it lilts so soft and gentle,
And it would drive me crazy...

Kahirap! Kahirapan ang dahilan
Kung bakit hindi maulad ang kabahayan.
Kabahayan ng pinas ay pinabayaan
Kurapsyon at pandaraya ay ayaw lubayan!

Gera sa ibang lugar ay kapabayaan
Kapabayaan ng mga unang nag silbi sa bayan.
Ang dami patay at naghihirap dahil...

Connor Constrictor 
crept through the carpet.
Marianne Marmot 
marched through the market
singing, “Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”
Boys and girls join in singing,
“Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”
 
Tutu Toucan 
turned to and fro
while...

Sa kanilang mga anino,
Kami’y kanilang itinago
Lagi kami ang sinusuyo
Na manatili lang sarado

Na dating walang pumapanig
Noong kami ay nalulupig
Ngunit ngayon, kami’y titindig
At sana’y kami ay marinig

At bakit naman kami matitinag?
Dahil ba kami ay babae lamang?
At bakit...

Little Shrine,
Half hidden in the trees,
Stark branches and stark stone,
On this cold winter’s day,
You are all alone.

Rough cut stone steps in the side of the hill,
Lead you away from the everyday,
Into the woods,
With stone lanterns...

Lately, it's been memories 
and sleepless nights. 
My bed, our bed;
these sheets smell like you.
I swear I hear your voice 
at three am, and I'm 
awake for another night. 
I almost called you,
but I talked...
