Unknot Poems

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
around the star-struck skin of
seraphic silhouettes
feel the suppressed sighs
of the ice-moon...

Sailing Towards Romblon

...Eagerly we wait,-
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...

Knots Knotted In Mind

...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 …
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.

Unknot

...Carry the burdens
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
Driving my ange...

Father's Friday Feeling

...Competent parents cherish their children; 
This Friday feeling - free for family again.

All week, we're the authority, we're the grownups.
Adulthood ain’t easy with parent/child hiccups.

You lost African child,
Who will find you in the wood?

Do you know where your home town is?

What goes out

What goes before

...It is so hard to let go of love,
lovingly.

than reel or reeler ever lost
in all those years of lazy inches

But my heart is filled
Not hungry of affection.
I had a fill of you last night
A fill of you for a life time

All around us are walking corpses
Corpses of political disregard
