Jemarie Ragudo Poems

Love here, love there
Love springs everywhere
Love thrills, love excites
Love enchants and delights
...

Tonight, like many nights before
I sit here hunched over my desk
Pen in hand, a lamp above my head
Waiting for the voice that comes
...

If I can be a princess
Of kingdoms by the sea
Where knights have wings
And dragons speak to me
...

We can bind the wind
With cords of fantasy
And keep it still
For a moment
...

He waits for me
Like royalty
Each day when
I get home
...

You’re not old, Dad
You got wrinkles
And few hairs
But you’re not old
...

First, you need a cup of hot water
They say it should be hot as hell
I don’t know, I haven’t been there
Let me just say it should be scalding hot
...

I waited
Pen held above a blank sheet
I waited, but nothing
I looked around and waited
...

He looks at me
With eyes that speak
Of bashful admiration
Can I tell him
...

You came with all the splendor of the rising sun,
With the symphony of Mozart in your eyes,
You came like a rain in a dusty summer
And when you spoke, everything went still.
