Efren Petalver Carranza Poems

He learned his way back home
Where there is blood in the sky
The dirt road clings in the dark
And it lies again at sunrise
...

Fragile as crystal dragon
Born by fire in delicate form
With that of life, it's inert to compare
Than its mighty colors with that of love
...

When hopes may not come after your prayers are done,
Lose not thy faith when trouble stirs your calmed mind;
Your weaknesses must die in every clasp of your hands,
But in thy words of wisdom be your path and guidelines.
...

You conquered my heart
Like a song in my head
It keeps repeating
Of what is missing
...

I gazed upon the sky, YOU and I
Once a young lover, that I was, love didn't die
THE SECRET LEAVES OF MY NOTEBOOK holds
A love letter, it now unfolds
...

A rock on the river sits
Collecting moss, tufts, and weeds
As others moved by a torrent
To unknown shore from a distant
...

Each one of us has a world of our own
Where this is the kingdom of perfection
Too perfect and without limitation
We keep on coming here off and on
...

Red-blood begun to burst
As the dawning sun scream in silent hue
Fallen dew misted a little lust
All of her cue
...

Come to think about the time I was a young rant;
The universe: all seemed far away, big and wide,
That made me like a foot in the crowd on my side,
Holding the man's hand, my father was a giant.
...

I have not forgotten
The land that raised me upon its rich soil
By a father's hands who mourned and toiled
Fifty years but gone
...
