Ramon Amancio Estanque Poems

Philippines is a country
Blessed with beauties of nature,
A country that has
Their own unique culture.
...

Streets of the roaring town,
Hush for him, hus, be still!
He comes, who was stricken down
Doing the word of our will.
...

Sometimes you're broken or sometimes you loss?
Don't give-up,
It's only a challenge to us
Not the end,
...

No one ever saw me like you do
All the things that I could add up too
I never knew just what a smile was worth
But your eyes see everything without a single word
...

The world was clean before we came...
but we did not have even the slightest
sense of decency to think that it is
not a big garbage can or trash mound;
...

once upon a Monday evening, while in class I pondered leaving
over many a quaint and curious volume of organic chemistry -
while I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there cam a tapping,
as of someone gently rapping, rapping at the chalkboard -
...

Just what is it in me?
sometimes I just don't know
what keeps me in your love
why you never let me go
...

Let me hear you Shout! !

How do I begin to tell you 'bout this friend
Who's like no other
...

know my friends-
they are those born
in nipa huts in the countryside,
under patched-up roofs
...

After the storm, how clear are the surroundings
the covering darkness disappears in a moment
hardened soil softens in the water
wet trees quickly spread green
...
