Don Prem Legaspi Poems

I beg release from thee
Obstruction from attainment
Thy kiss of the vast infinitum
Intertwining and unparalleled
...

Absolution taketh thee in
By force, ripped from the womb
Life both the sentence and the sin
Thy shell, for now,  entombed
...

Resolute deformity of fear forms tantric,
Near stratifying sense of space-time fabric
Quantum passing of the black river tides,  
Passes the mortal sense, dimmed by demise
...

Real eyes
Of the truest auburn hue
Able to see what lies beneath  
But chooses to remain blind
...

Corporeal form remains fettered
This body wanes yet Im content
For existance is tempered in strife
I strive to gain and remain 
...

The skies pass,  As they should
Dark as they, from suns they soothe
And light peaks through the clouds
Piercing past the shroud
...

Chained shell constructed
Derivative cosmic grain
Hailed mother's bosom
Soothing whispered strain
...

Made as I am
It is only skin
Prone to touch
To needles and pins
...

Invocation of words given to describe
Thine hide that hides what crawls inside
Painfully Uttered by the priests and scribes
My roots dig deeper than the ones that bore thee
...

I close my eyes
in the darkness, entwined
I see you
And I wait for the embrace
...
