YULETIDE
Eyes-closed:
I can see nothing but snow flakes,
Mountains covered with thick bunches of snow,
And lakes, and rivers, all frozen!
Shining, shimmering from sun’s rays.
Eyes-opened:
It was all fantasy.
“I’m still reminiscing the ‘essential you’ that reflects in the gleams of Diana.”
CIVITAS DEI
Mingled to you from yester-night’s breeze
is such a heavenly feeling.
Surged and caressed by soft wind,
Heard melodies from far-away leaves,
Yowled from liberation of rhythms and rhymes of our souls; and
Luster -dew dropped onto our cheeks.
“Then Diana made it more romantic.”

In either way, choose?
To keep holding to a single hope:
To keep holding and do nothing,
To keep holding and die for nothing;
And to persist loving for the lie you’ve made.
COWARDICE
A ghost hunts me
Seems devouring me wholly
I want to run away…
I want to run away…
I want to run away…
Oh, it lingers!
Oh, I’m afraid!
Afraid for what I’ve made…
A ghost still hunts me…
SILAW at ISANG GABING PANAGINIP
Sadya bang ganito and tadhana?
O, bakit nakapapagal wariin.
Tanglaw ko ang hiwaga ng buwan;
hayaan mong ibulalas ko,
Tanglaw ko ang kislap ng tangi kong bituin;
hayaan mo ang mga haplos ko,
haplos kong may hiwagang umuukilkil…
O, Dakila kong Araw,
‘wag mo akong pasuin
‘wag mo akong gisingin
sa iyong nakasisilaw na silahis.
SILAW
Lingid sa kaalaman ng lahat…
IKAW…
AY…
NAKASISILAW…
Walang alam ang iba…
Manloloko!
TULANG PATANONG
Paano ba ako magpapatuloy hahawak sa sinabi mong lubid kung sa tingin ko’y isa lamang itong sinulid na pilit kong ibinubuhol sa kasalukuyan mula sa nakaraan at umaasang aabot pa sa hinaharap?
