Ulysses Cabinatan Poems

Heaven maybe is like Mt. Everest
I haven't seen Mt. Everest
I haven't been there.
But I believe Mt. Everest exists.
...

Scatter sunshine
Not dirty dust
Scatter sunshine
And give light
...

Fill me with love
Fill me with joy
Fill me with peace
...

Broken glass

Broken mugs
...

The morning sun kisses my cheeks
My face feels the warm
Seeping through me…
The same sun
...

Will the sarcasms they said, matter five years from now?
Will the insults they give, matter five years from now?
Will their existence, matter five years from now?
Will they matter five years from now?
...

As the flower blooms
It shares its beauty
It shares its perfume
To anyone who wants to smell
...

Let's plumb the ocean depth
And climb the mountain peak
Bomb out our fears
And entomb our anxieties
...

There is no year of the dragon
Nor year of any beast.
Dragons don’t exist
maybe if they -, but twas long years
...

I will never sing those songs again,
Songs of sadness and melancholy.
You’ll never hear me sing again,
Songs of despair, unrequited love, and broken dreams.
...
