Kc Cabauatan Poems

I lit one stick,
In the darkest of nights,
its acrid kisses bring out
hazy pictures of our distant memories.
...

i can tell you only one thing,
my sight searches for you,
like the dawn searching for the
orange hue of the waking sun.
...

ang gugma ko kanimo, murag bingka nga liki,
bahong aslom, pero diay, perting ka-lami.
pagong man sa taas, ug sa ilalom, sunog,
pero sa tunga ni-ini, perti ka hinlo.
...

paalam, putang inang bayan!
sinayang nyo lang ang aking unang kamatayan
pinilit maging malaya
laban sa mga kastila
...

ngayong gabi umaawit ang mga tala,
umaawit alangalang sa isang diwata
mga himig ng pagsinta
inuukit sa aklat ng tadhana.
...

some say it is a bliss - the union of two hotdogs:
two pieces of elongated meat lying side by side
bound by grease, tenderized by heat.
some say they're sumptuous, twice as filling, twice as fun; though you can only consume them one by one.
...

you enthralled me; put me in a trance,
all the buried feelings slowly start to dance.
you seeped in to my heart, a seed of love sown,
bursting forth like a flower that grew on a stone.
...

ilang mundo pa ang tatahakin,
upang iparating sa iyo ang mga nais ng aking damdamin?

sa unang sulyap pa lang, ako'y nahulog na sa yo.
...

stark,
a feeling
froze my mind.
a void abyss
...

i write not For the pleasUre of others;
meters and rhythms they're blights to my style.
i Care not what they thinK, just To be clear.
...
