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.
...
These clouds, they’re so vague, I can’t see.
And down there- the sea,
So thick and blue black.
Is this how clear your love for me?
...
It drains the darkness away;
This reality is absent in me for a while.
Through the seeming presence of the air
And the vastness of the sea.
...
Ambot ug asa, ngano ug gi-unsa,
Nga pag-abot sa panahon nga aduna na koy buot
Mao na man kini ang akong nahibaw-an.
Ug nahadlok gayud ako, kay bata pa lagi.
...
Di’ ako ang tinuod nga ako
Kung may kambyo-
Gamay man o dako, ga-an o bug-at,
Maayo man o dautan-
...
As if a newly born angel,
Delivered with great pain.
Fruits of sacrifice
For a precious like no other.
...
Once, twice... a hundred...
Even a thousand times before.
But among countless trips,
I never had one like this.
...
The music starts to slow down a li’l bit;
Melody’s towards humming.
You’re hearing my deepest voice.
The words slip though your earlobes.
...
A certain vision
Haunts the whole atmosphere.
It gives me chill I don’t need.
My hair stands.
...
