Jane Quijano Poems

I remember the day I carried you
So tiny, so fragile and new!
I walked with knees trembling
But I tarried and carried you!
...

I could feel the softness,
The touch of your skin in your embrace...
How I miss the sweetness of your breath
Touching my neck...
...

The stars glittered in the night
And the moon was hanging low;
But our feet had wings for curtain call
Of the last symphony...
...

Curiosity
Touches you endlessly...
Since the first glimpse
Of Phoebus!
...

Every person...
...has his own version,
...his own outlook,
...his own interpretation
...

Sing me a song
That could lull me to sleep
And make me dream
Of my dream before I weep...
...

The living breathes
The pungent odor of death.
He walks along the trail
Of the dead...
...

Tumatakbo ang panahon
At umiikot ang mundo
Bawat saglit ng buhay
Ay naglalaho...
...

I cannot sleep, cannot sleep!
My heart does not ache
But like a funeral drum
It is beating slowly to my grave...
...
