Ulysses Cabinatan Poems

Our tongue will turn to ashes
Our eyes
and their visions will turn to ashes
Our scars,
...

The sun doesn't rise
And the sun doesn't set
It's only the earth
That really rotates
...

Love tickles one's heart
Rinses one's soul
Cleanses one's mind
Makes the spirit vibrant
...

Make our life be notebook leaves
You can write something new,
Page by page
...

Find love,
By sharing it away.
...

I shed my past hurts away
Like a snake
Shedding its old skin
To relish the new shiny skin
...

Careless words
Carelessness
Made everything
As brittle
...

Love has its own language
which can be learned in anyplace
It sometimes uses gestures
It sometimes uses words
...

Breath of love
Swirling on a bright dawn
Leaving dew of happiness
and cool mists of joy
...

It stores up water in its roots, stems and leaves
It sips the morning dew
And any moist the dawn air brings
for it to endure the painful heat of the sun at noon.
...
