Rommel Mark Dominguez Marchan Poems

Knowledge is power
little knowledge is more powerful
more dangerous
anytime anywhere it explodes
...

modern poets in
this modern world
are free verse
thinkers
...

Anybody
can be somebody

by aiming to be
...

Night goers walk
in search for night pleasure
not for tonight
...

Calamba Laguna
April 2001

I am here
...

(written a night before I go back home, Manila to Palilan, Jimenez, Mis.Occ. circa 2000)

When I go home to Palilan I would hurriedly walk on the long road to home.
I’ll throw my warmest smile and look straight thru their eyes who surprise prettily about my unpredictable journey from somewhere they never know as I come back without crown they expect.
...

Chilly wind moving closer to me
Wrapping now my feet
Touching my weary limbs
...

(a year after the mournful tragedy)

Down
On your man-made mountain
...

Youth keep all your glorious age
For length of years in this world you live
Learn not in midst of wicked
Retain God’s promises unfade
...
