Manny Paras Poem
I have crossed oceans
Tasted salt of discoveries;
Allowing strangers
To become families.
Now I am older, yet new allies
Beyond map's horizon
Still rouses thirst
For unknown destiny.

Manny Paras Poem
The outpour
spouts gently. My lone thoughts
drain bitterly as pearly chutes ebb
Soft patter
of rapids flushes night
from angst. Though barren stream dives endless
And pierced rocks
lash at my lost chances.
The twirl of water eases love's blow
While I dive
into an evening's pool
like a rapid swollen by gray spills.

Manny Paras Poem
Verse settled down without fanfare
Three ladies made of roses bright,
Greeted me by showering care
Which on first day, was pure delight.
And moving on after Autumn blew
I spilled letters down through the lane.
Now it’s my time to say thank you,
Flowers sent on your windowpanes!
Happy Valentine’s to Linda, Anne-Lise,
And Skat
A Special Valentine's Note Address
to Linda (aka PD) Anne Lise A. And I –SKAT

Manny Paras Poem
Yesterday, time stirrred of reveries when
All of Summer brought colours bright;
My love's longing roamed this place, yet
Troubles whipped our days; in a rush it
Seemed your tenderness withered fast.
So hasty for that promise of evermore,
Far from flames that once led us to new stars
Away from a maze, until noons grew cold.
Now, despair widenened a river made,
It drained petals crowning your hair. But love
Looks at us without a glimpse of eternity
As miles flew by, not one word for a heart yearned.
Though roots are tended where gardens bloom
They're dried by sun's heat, unwatered and frail;
Here where our fingers dug into the sand
To memorize the glory of dew. I asked you to
Stay and wait for birds to name our songs.
Oh, those hours when wings of joy flew
I recall the way your smile rustled with the wind.
Believe me, I'm unable to bequeath this glow
In you I found the luster of dusk, more beaming than
Yesterday, today or even tomorrow, still---

Manny Paras Poem
Over the dewy crown of mountains, I lay
among grasses beneath a jeweled sky
Illuminating the mist, tickling my face --
A first thrill in spring.

Manny Paras Poem
House me not on beds of orchids
Orchids though fragrant can wither,
Wither on yards dried from neglect
Neglect, though, ruins heart’s dwelling.
