Aeron Manabo Poems

Are you tired?
Rest my love.
Rest your head on my shoulder.
Hold my hand tight.
...

We have waited for so long,
For this sweet and lovely day.
Let's listen to a romantic song.
Bed of Roses, here we lay.
...

Do you remember my promises?
The night I said those words.
My grip on your hands.
My knees on the floor.
...

Oh young one are you ready?
For this long and perilous journey.
Thorns and obstacles you will encounter.
Whatever happens, don’t falter!
...

What would you do for the world?
What would you do for Mother Earth?
What would you do for God’s creations?
What would you do for yourself?
...

I’m not good-looking,
Nor am I strong.
Falling and Failing.
I always do wrong.
...

In the street,
Enduring the heat.
Shirts tattered.
Dreams shattered.
...

Do you listen to its melody?
Do you hear its sound?
Do you feel its spirit?
Do you understand?
...
