In life
...Need there’s to smile nor cry in life,
What will, will by and by in life.
Bank to bank lifeboats ply in life,
Still, the same boats must die in life.

to unknot the twigs of tainted trees,
where cuffed anklets

Sailing Towards Romblon

As early as the sun mount,-
At the harbor’s plank.
After a short while…
We heard the Ferry’s hail
And shouted us, to come up!-
With our kits and bags!
While on the ship...

...All life I wandered,
In search of vague meandered,
But when I pondered,
Said my long subdued heart’s voice:
Unknot all knots, mute all noise.

Allow Me the Time
...Allow me the time …
To stand and stare,
To ponder on the how and where,
To lose myself in thoughtfulness,
To unknot my mind’s tangled mess,
To consider and to meditate,
To transform into a Zen ...

Random Webs
...People do things without thought.
Every action and word are random.
The tangled web we try to unknot.
Leaves us crying, us not being able to unwound.

Too long
Not knowing when
To give up
Especially there is nothing
Worth keeping
No reason to fight for it
Showering me
Nothing but pain
Embedded in me

All around us are walking corpses
Corpses of political disregard
