Ferdinand L Quintos Poems

The train rolls out slowly
from the old terminal bay,
rusty wheels reluctantly
roll on rails all rickety,
...

Pan-aasinan nen panaon ya inmuna,
..malaem ed yaman-dayat tan arum ni ‘ra
..ya makana’n tagano na laman da’y lapag
..ya too’d sakop to tan arum ni ya dapag.
...

As the gods silently slept
On imposing Mt. Olympus,
So surreptitiously I crept
And awakened goddess Venus.
...

As I lay lonesome one night in my bed,
Somnus on my wearied eyes descended,
but when my eyelids were about to meet
toward slumber expectedly sweet,

Name poem

ANGEL
...

My name poem

PERFUME
...

Blazing color of hope that thrilled your eyes
Exciting green gem set on ring of gold,
Lends brilliance now to this room you once lit,
I still dream you will someday return,

We watched a paper boat
on the river afloat,
we followed it totter
‘midst a mass of litter,
...

Success in life every one makes
by the chances he boldly takes,
the right to choose he was given
by the Lord who rules from heaven.
