noisy luncheonette
1950’s fast food
men in suits and ties
women in cotton dresses
wearing high heeled shoes
none unchaperoned
counter closed on Sundays
family day
everyone in church

Oh April
I hear you tapping
Tapping on sweet Spring’s back door
Running through the streets after dark
Undisciplined, unchaperoned
Chattering in a fledgling nest
Peeking from behind softened soil
Basking in a sunrise drum roll
I hear nature whisper
OH! APRIL

Lonely Heart
separated, alone, self
Unescorted unchaperoned by solus single
on my lonesome
no one but myself
My soul thrives
just unattended

Enjoying myself, in a deserted world
Strolling down, unchaperoned.
Ran into someone,
Who knew he would be my heaven.
Eyes locked, piercing eachother's soul.
When realization hitted, sorrys are traded
Amplifying the beat, we left hoping to meet.
Days went, new semester began
Wanting some fun, destiny unified us.
Time passed, we fell for eachother's heart.
Finally! He confessed, "Beni sev", he demanded.
Tears spout their way down my cheek
Nodding like a tot, "NS" left my throat.
Laying on the grass, we gazed the stars.
Mumbling "Te quireo" he pulled me close
Those eyes, I fell for, staring mine with adorance.
Lips molded together,
Arms holding eachother
No lust, only love.
Replacing lacuna with warmth,
Euphoric feeling, engulfed around.

I am worried
I am in despair
I am tensed
I am in low spirits
My song sounded melancholic
My thought turned pessimistic
My emotion became lifeless
My life seemed purposeless
My heart lost its rhythm
Cold shivers rippled my blood
My pulse missed its beat
Vacuum nested every nerve of my head.
I started my journey from somewhere to reach nowhere
I found myself toiling in the sands of dreary nightmare
I continued my cruise on the shoreless ocean
Searching for a home in an unknown destination
Life seemed to be a battlefield and I transformed into a weaponless warrior
Fighting with an unknown enemy for a mysterious reason
Tears were racing with the valley of blood
Anguish supplanted the graveness of a flash flood
Having fed with very little hope of survival
I gravely waited for the life's arrival.
Sailing unchaperoned in the gigantic world,
I realised that life is a personalized game and the triumph embosoms the unflinching souls.

With my head against your breast,
your very heartbeat pounds within your chest;
a soft rumbling thunder between the tears
resounding loudly, deafening within my ears.
Lord, have mercy on us.
Time has not been kind
stealing away the very breath of life and mind;
in momentary gasps and pauses
staggering toward heaven's door as it closes.
Lord, have mercy on us.
A young life cheated by shortened time
lingering in passing seconds and minutes that unwind;
soon to cease this earthly existence breached,
unchaperoned to another place beyond my reach.
Lord, have mercy on us.
Tears soft and salty are released
in a sad recognition at its very least;
that we are parting from the sands of time
and you go your way and I, mine.
Lord, have mercy on us.
One last goodbye, teary eyes in mist
a look, a glance, the accepting final kiss;
time is never ours to keep
close your eyes now, fall asleep.
Lord, have mercy on us.
Say it soft, weeping as we cry
for me to remain, our last goodbye;
for you to go in eternal retreat
and I alone, with memory of you at peace.
