Joscephine Gomez Poems

Leave Manila at 5: 00 A.M.?
I agreed.
All of you couldn't make it
even at seven
...

Manners, moral, magic, maverick,
music, melody, madrigal, mazurka, mic,
mouth, muesli, mint,
magenta, mirror, menorah,
...

A smile, a look
connectedness felt.
Booked.
...

For CP

A penetrating gaze,
a happy, smiling face,
...

Inhaling, yawning, sniffing, gulping
sucking, slurping, gasping, sipping
exhaling, projecting, resonating, whistling
laughing, giggling, talking, chanting
...

Dedicated to all serious profesional singers in this world

We bring forth feelings like water from a deep well,
We caress every note, hearts we've touched can tell,
...

As I remember your smile this beautiful morn,
From the wellspring of compassion these words are born,
...

Your vision too narrow, clouded by doubt,
I see on your face, a frown and a pout,
...

Slowly, unknowingly, they enter you,
become part of you,
they grip you,
they own you,
...

Words don't come easily on the mouth of one
whose heart saw joy soon gone
who knew that this joy had come
just to leave when her mission's done.
