MELVIN BANGGOLLAY Poems

J-ust the other night
I have seen an angel
Enchanting my sight
that I didn’t foretell
...

WAKE UP, MR.
mELVIN bANGGOLLAY

The night is deep and shallow
...

P-edro Alit, a man of many virtue
Born with the breath of the poor
Yet armed with a dream to subdue
The flame of poverty’s towering door.
...

PORK BARREL SCAM
Melvin Banggollay

P-ork barrel scam’s aroma
...

Y-olanda, bagsik mo’y grabeng sakuna
Na Hatid ay pait at lubos na pagdurusa
Ng mga kababaayang iyong sinalanta
Ng iyong paghihimagsik sa bayang dalita.
...

Captured thy serene eyes
With her smiles of charm
With power that surmise
...

Sepent’s Tongue in an Angels Beauty
Melvin Banggollay

Verily, verily, I have seen a beauty
...

Valentines, anew its flare declare
A time for heart with love to share
Among those who had found a pair
To tingle their passion with all glare;
...

On the day I enrolled law,
I behold many young fellow
with youthful dynamism
to show with all optimism
...

for the flower I loved
to uproot its sting
blinding me to have
hope in wandering.
