Marites C. Cayetano Poems

I don't mean
I love you
...

No, darling
I no longer want
to climb the highest mountain
I no longer want
...

I wake up each morning
with the songs of the birds
and in the air are the smell
of the greens and blooms
...

Yes, you are a man
indeed, a real man
you are strong
and powerful
...

It was the day
when they could do nothing
but watch
as their loved ones
...

Non-stop sneezing
runny nose
itchy eyes
oh, what a day!
...

Mama para,
sa tabi po!

Nais ko pa sanang
...

From the tower of babel
let me see you rise...
one by one
...by one.
...
