Marites C. Cayetano Poems

forgive me
I cannot look into your eyes
to let you see
how much I adore you.
...

It was nice to hear from you
even though
it was only in my dream.
...

Balatkayong pag-ibig
sa akin
ay huwag mong ialay
sapagkat ang nais kong pag-ibig
...

I can destroy myself
if I will allow me
to destroy myself.
...

Better come close to me now
for tomorrow
I will be far.
...

scent...
music and breathing
the flow of my spirit
...with the air.
...

You can call me greedy
but I can live only once
so I'll get what I want
if I can.
...

Halika sa plaza
at duo'y lakas nati'y sukatin.

Subukan mong sa lupa
ako'y iyong ilugmok
...
