Ulysses Cabinatan Poems

calmness after a heavy downpour.
sunshine clears the dark clouds.
hope shoots from the muddy ground.
all will be well soon...
...

fill the void in my heart
fill the void of my soul
complete the puzzle in my life
in your hands
...

If a writer stops writing,
A part of him dies…
When a singer stops singing
Something in him dies.
...

You are a refreshing water
On a thirsty throat
A food
to a starving spirit
...

Your presence calms my soul
Your beauty captivates my attention
Your smell soothes my nerves
Your words are sweet
...

I'm more than 10,000 days old on this world
But I don't know how many hundreds of years my spirit lives
Did I exist somewhere else before?
I can't answer
...

Rocks and stones are everywhere
But diamonds are few

Pebbles and sands are plenty
But very precious gems are rare
...

Do hills dream of becoming mountains? Do small pebbles dream of becoming big rocks?
Do small grasses dream of becoming bamboos? Do a shrub dream of becoming a tree?

Some dreams are easier to attain, than kissing my own elbow or licking my own nose.
...

A morsel is a treasure
A crumb is more precious than gold
And a piece of rice cake is more than a feast!
Years pass, their desire hasn't changed.
...

I cannot be the best singer
Or the best dancer
Or the best director
Or the best scriptwriter
...
