Jemarie Ragudo Poems

Two minds
one dream
Two hearts
one love
...

O man of little wits!
Why gaze upon the sky
And pant for that lovely star above
Of what use is that head above your heart
...

Fools have eyes, but are blind
They look, but cannot see
For they look with their eyes
And not with their hearts
...

Tell me of what use
Is man’s conquest of the moon
If he cannot unravel the mystery
Of a woman’s mind
...

Slowly, as dusk unfolds the
Brilliance of the night sky
When the sun’s majestic glory
Gives way to the dominance
...

I looked at him
He licked his lips
I touched his hair
He kissed my hand
...

Dreams unfulfilled
Goals unreached
Success slipping through
fingers outstretched
...

I guess it’s too late
To say “I should have known”
What a selfish devil you are!
...

When you love someone
You see the splendor of spring
Burst into life in the magic of his smile.
You sleep with his name in your lips
...

I sensed the presence in the dark
The filthy body against my back
And though I was just half awake
I felt the roughness stroke my neck
...
