Don Prem Legaspi Poems

Invocation of words given to describe
Thine hide that hides what crawls inside
Painfully Uttered by the priests and scribes
My roots dig deeper than the ones that bore thee
...

I close my eyes
in the darkness, entwined
I see you
And I wait for the embrace
...

Thoughts are formless within one's mind
Thus Lent to it's wildness
So it requires utter vacuity to shape
A question
...

My spirit has a place amongst the heavens
It's own twilight throne within ebon halls
Beset by vast walls of solemn emptiness 
And proclaimed by banners of starlight
...

A force dwells within the edge of reason and doubt  
Between the angles of stars and empty spaces
Lingering continually behind pale and veiled shadows
Intertwining with all who seek refuge unto it's fold
...

My bones arose from the earth
Brothers they are to pillars of stone
Dust reclaimed, in longing of the land
 
...

alas, a longing for light
illumination's gift from a lone candle
held by a mere wick, embraced within wax
meant to be wasted by both's unison with flame
...

A miasma of sound enveloping
Yet a faint song keeps resounding
...

I beg release from thee
Obstruction from attainment
Thy kiss of the vast infinitum
Intertwining and unparalleled
...

Absolution taketh thee in
By force, ripped from the womb
Life both the sentence and the sin
Thy shell, for now,  entombed
...
