Elmer Romulo Valdez Poems

You...

You came, I found peace,
Gradually an affection,
...

Burning sands, roaring winds on fire,
Bearded masks, moving masses in white;
Alien taps and nods, strange sounds,
All unfamiliar, these unknown stares.
...

Open your bright eyes,
Flower of my dreams!

The solitary marble bench,
...

Love, can you be found -
in the fleeting wind,
in the flowing stream,
in the dimming memory?
...

There's silence in the noisy alley,
As the lost sheep looks for a way;
To reach the others in the flock,
Someone has to disroot the block.
...

The busy sidewalk is littered,
Of waste and unwanted morsels,
There's deprivation and poverty,
The raging soul has to drift.
...

The first three minutes,
Seem inconsequential,
Yet here lies the balance,
Between life and death.
...

Let there be no good-byes,
As our budding love is everlasting,
Though apart by mountains & seas.
...

Shut the windows of the past,
And dwell into the reality of today;
Yet destiny is held by the hands of time.
...

Woman, with that mystic smile,
Do you trace life's footsteps?
Do you still dwell in wonderland,
Shyly basking in its magical glow?
...
