Avery Eglantine Poems

I regret mine plea for freedom
For I ain't oppressed nor detained
I might've need more wisdom
For I'm naive, indeed! too lame
...

I let the wind blew mine sail
I ne'er steer, I thought I fail
Mine paperboat has charted course
yet I submit the fleet to wind's inevitable force
...

Depressed
Stressed, Alone, Insane
Accepted/Rejected, Love & pain
Desserted/befriended, Vain
...

Isang ibong ligaw na sa hangi'y 'tila nakikipagsayaw
Na sa pagdamay ng kapwa ibo'y uhaw
Sa langit na ang kulay; agaw pula't bughaw
Sa mga nasa lupa, tanging anino ang tanaw
...

The stars quite too high
for me to reach
...

Mine eyes too keen to see far ahead
Yet I fear mine almost sure sense of end
This hollow container is tearing and dead
I cannot reveal - they won't understand
...

Spirit of the path

Once I thought I need a destination
'till I was stucked on an old train station
...

The growing thrill deep within
which hither in mine soul reigns
Is like a sparkling bubble of dynamite
Ready to explode in due ignite!
...

'Broken families ain't true'
They said twas non-existent.
Broken homes, are there?
To mine heart the pain's consistent!
...

A lunged creature drawn beneath the water's surface
'twas flat, 'twas plain, 'twas serene and peaceful
to hold breath and die is martyrdom
-to retain the peace above the dead water
...
