+ Keep The Balance Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Keep the balance


I miss the turn
To the rock I kiss- falling down
Loosing breath momentarily
While closing my eyes steadily
Not for prayer but of pain
That penetrates my brain
It was the other week
I recon the brake- and this and that
The long ride under the sun so hot
Then the rough crooked path
Thorny road that halt
Nay! Nay! Nay!
It’s the ride it may
That needs bearing
That needs caring.
