Jake Tadla Poems

Ania’g nag-inusara,
Kauban ang barkada.
Nag-isturyahanay.
Nagkinataw-anay.
...

A complete sonnet
Yet a shattered glass.
The noisiest and busiest town
Yet I can feel solemnity.
...

Souls subject of trade
Desires manifested by mouth
Distance totally disregarded
Auric link pursued.
...

Another chapter unfolds
And the previous pages
Flipped by two fingers
Torn by the manus of clock’s second
...

Snap…
Snap, snap…
Snap back to reality.
Oops!
...

Now here lays my very tomb
To where you used to spit,
To where your trashes dwell
And all dirt of history fills me.
...

I’m so numb now.
I’ve become so numb now.
No matter how many it’d be,
Bring it all on
...

Searching for all possible ways.
I’ll drive my shoes from here
To where your door creaks.
I long for diamonds that’re free.
...

Mingdausdos and lapok sa da’n.
Ang inahan mingisi sa iyang anak
Samtang nagapahimulos sa duwa-an.
Matang naulit sa panghitabo.
...

Abhor the silence.
Margins left unclaimed.
Blind’s lost at sea.
Dark clouds are falling.
...
