Mother's Day 2013


And then, i saw the leaves dropping
in a slow, motion
untangled
doing a free fall
touching, above the earth's surface
arid, but technically perfect.
serving, as basin of the green fiber
of the sturdy tree
in our lawn

And then you smiled
picked me up and whispered
"let's go inside for dinner my son"
and i nodded
and locked your gaze
as you coaxed me with your hands
in to your embrace



...Thoughts and memories
just like above came rushing into me


You served unconditionally
without reservation
You loved compassionately
without hesitation


When i was a child,
I saw your cries ...
i don't know the meaning then
but when i held your hand,
you hugged me tightly


I was a witness to your laughter
and you taught me to enjoy
the simple things in life


Mother, my dearest,
my beloved ...
to you i dedicate.
this simple piece
of love poem
not because it's mother's day
but because i love you so.

Young Native at Nagsasa Zambales

To blur the line of reality and magic.




Bequeath me your chains
I will accept with all my heart
with the smile in my face

Letters of Juliet from Romeo



You are tempting ...
leaving me with gasps, and then i shall wait
for you to utter again, the words i long to hear
'ven by a ping of text, i crumble in delight
of the joy you bring, your compliments
the eagerness, for you to meet me
in a mask, in a veil of eager glory
just one time, you beg
for what if, my defenses are low
shall we dance in to the tune
of everlasting gore
or keep the promises, neither we have spoken
and only the wind can tell
by your chuckle, when's the last time?
i couldn't remember
the last time we met, again in person
back in 2008? in the pelted streets
of Vergara, or in the bridge
and yes! in the gates of heaven


don't take it, i'm dead
serious!
if you want to, don't chase it
be the beacon, of light from darkness
