Obed dela Cruz Poems

I have seen sculptures and these ones are the best.
There are made using Earth’s most expensive dust
Because there’s no spared expense when they were made.
I just pray that their quality will not fade.
...

(These are the days when I just love God. Hey, I am a hardcore dude. Call me a Christian and make me proud of it but hey, I am not a religious person but God’s love is so amazing that makes me go poetic. God exists. God saves. God loves each and every one of us.)

I saw my Love with crystal tears falling from the eyes,
Looking like withered leaves as the body breaks apart.
...

Sa biglang pagmulat, ako'y tumingala sa langit
Habang winawari ang mga misteryo ng buhay
Kung saan may mga bagay bang sadyang pinipilit
Nguni't sa kadalisayan ay hindi naging tunay.
...

Away from the shrines
Of abominated grace
Taught by hired sophists
Who turned away from God’s face.
...

Many years back,
All we aspired was perfection
When justice blooms
And truth prevails education.
...

(a poem to commemorate the day of Philippine Independence)

Do you still remember in Cavite
When our banner was waved in liberty?
...

There is a special gift
Every one of us was given–
Something to call our own
That no one else on earth can have.
...

Dear Heavenly Father,
Some men perhaps
Walk on Your halls,
Your Cathedral
...

Embarked for first life’s journey away from home
Had I once been while stored in a mortal frame.
Now past the entrance — near the seashores I come
To step on the land where things are not the same.
...

I still remember when the world was restless and cold
As I laid for a slumber within the walls of death.
It was when my spirit has no dream for it to hold
And my dying soul was gone without the Living Breath.
...
