Marites C. Cayetano Poems

Be the man of my dream
don't make me work
don't make me sweat
kiss my hand
...

Just let me rise
let me shine
because this is my time.
...

too much rain
worries the farmer
peaches pale.
...

Wait
until the fruit is fully ripe
so you can taste
its sweetness.
...

rain breaks
birds on electric wires
do re me.
...

young swallows
leave early this morning
first journey.
...

Sa buhay
na puno ng pagsubok
mga paghihirap at luha
pagod at pawis
...

This changing world...
where children hear
not only the voice of their mother
where children eat
...

oh, rain
gently when you fall
my crops are now ready for harvest
I beg you
...
