Walter Sanson Lotilla Poems

In silence...
... I gasp in awe in the still of the night
The evening breeze passes fragrantly by...
Yet the cold spell unfelt...
...

I bid you adieu... my fair one
... Thy last embrace so etched...
... in the recess of my tortured heart
...

I see... the sun rise... amidst the glow of thy presence
I see... your footsteps frolic... amongst the sandy shores... so serene
I remember... those twilight laughters...
... those sweet melodies that lingers...
...

The dawn gently breaks
... the morning rays slowly creeps
Paths so many... yet trodden diversely
... meant or unmeant...
...

A glimpse...
... too close a second, yet it lingers...
... I wonder why
...

Music ... temple of the sad
Refuge in one's misery
So divine... yet still down trodden
It lingers ... yet without being consoled?
...

What is Life
(composed for an elementary school assignment)

Life starts from the will of the Almighty
...

Rest thy head, rest thy head well...
... For thou hast suffered long torment in thy impairment
From the distant past, thou hast constantly braved
and toiled the unbeknownst
...

Oblivious to nature’s peril
A butterfly so small
... hovers in marvel of flowers abloom
... it savors its while... yet so short
...

Amidst the maddening crowd... I await...
My head, my eyes weaves... in eager anticipation
... searching for a face ... so long unseen
...
