MELVIN BANGGOLLAY Poems

CHRISTMAS CALLS FOR
...

Natonin, land of my great forebears,
cradles the birth of my own precious life
upon its majestic mountain that bears
witnessed to my childhood's delight.
...

The life you have may be short lived
but your name will forever lived
in the heart of those who believed
in the music of your soul you build.
...

Silence truly deafens my ears
With its annoying breaths
but tell me your whispers
lurking from your heart's depths
...

Wake me up with the magic of your whispers
that echoes like music deep down to my ears;
touching me with so much delight that embroiders
my soul with happiness against my own fears.
...

Jenilyn, a woman entwined with angelic beauty,
who fabled my heart to love her at first sight
...

Keep going
and never quit
...

D-eath is an inevitable foe of life
That comes with a sting of strife
To end one's long life malady
Or give others rivers of agony
...

LOOK AT ME IN THY EYE

Look at me in my eyes
...

Asse pion tako e umasenso
Umadayo tako asse ili tako
Urey ge no ngan se liget tako
Urey ge mansigeb da likna tako
e manenan as dahe pamilya tako
Ayu-at, anne e manaren tako.
