i  lit one cigarette;
a cryptic background music lulls me,
bringing me back where we first pledged our love.
love so pure and innocent, un-mired by any sensuous aspiration,
...

Incessant longings sail on my ocean of tears,
The thoughts of you lingering,
the loss of you sears the heart like the branding of an ox.
...

beyond words describe the fullness of you.
your smiles, such sweetness;
they pierce through my soul and etch to my heart
an unquenchable longing.
...

The rain sings her adieu;
her surreal scent, her every smile
her very essence drowned by heaven's
teardrops, while her memories remain:
...

She dwells in my innermost
sanctum;
her imaginary smiles, her touch, her being, her love,
enliven my thoughts-
...

Forward you, to me Temptress
your wind-borne linen brushes lightly,
A million diamonds shroud me,
As you blow me your kisses.
...

Wendy, Wendy, she gave me a thimble;
She held my world and made it crumble.
The tender orb's icy sheathing starts to melt,
thawed by the enigma's hearth it felt.
...

Tonight we’ll share the heavens;
Souls knitted into one,
Fly together we, the ochre moontrails,
on gossamer wings.
...

Flowers, candies and things so dear,
Poems and paeans, you won’t even care to hear;
I used to yearn for you and sing you lullabies
But now dear fickle, I’m bidding you good bye;
...

Pen, Paper, and a cup of coffee,
Head throbbing, and a hand scribbling furiously,
Just as the flickering flame of the kerosene lamp
danced away with the easterly breeze.
...

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.
...
