Marites C. Cayetano Poems

Dragonflies
why so busy,
why so many?
Is there anyone of you
...

Freedom is not free
you need to pay the price for freedom
and that is to abide the law.
...

I remember you
do you remember me?

I remember the song
...

The clouds are dark
and heavy
and my baby's heart
is lonely and blue
...

Salamat at ika'y naririyan
kasama kong humahalakhak
sa tuwa.
...

Halika na
sa duyan ng mga ulap
duo'y paghimlayin
hapo mong katawan.
...

I know
I've never been good to you
but please
I beg you
...

When I open my eyes
naked trees already dressed
with snow so clean and white
many little children making snowman
...

Each moment with you
is a precious moment for me.

Be it good
or be it bad...
...
