As every new morning broke, I stood outside and look
As the gray world vanish, I close my eyes and wish
Looking at the east with its brewing pink glow
I savor the strength and breath freshly anew.
...

Feel the breeze of morning July
In an early strides at its field of rye.
See the bloom of posies, buttercup and daisies
That's the wonder of country life never ceases.

(A stranger named Alex on my FS account started sending PM's and delivered judgmental comments. I took his ruse and fell on writing these passages.)

Aanhin ko ang guwapo (What do I need good looks for)
Kung sampu naman ang kaagaw ko. (If there's ten of us in a row)
...

One late afternoon at the rooftop
I noticed a dead tree in the back lot.
With its lifeless branch spreading wide
I know he was alone and feeling sad.
...

A certain place in the dark
There stood shadows
Shadows of lonely souls
Longing for the comforts of love.
...

Oh rain, rain, rain
Come and wash away the pain.
Pitter, patte on the rooftop clean,
Do the same to me, oh holy rain.
...

Clumsy wings flutter up and down the sky
Into the world of innocence it flown and try.
It tasted the wines offered by gorgeous dames,
It licked the flames of many dangerous games.
...

Treetops glittering with hue as moonlight see me through
In a quiet and calm night when the moon is shining bright.
While the stars are twinkling afar and smiling it might,
I stare like a fool and wonder how are you tonight?
...

I wish I could fly
Like birds do in the sky
Soaring deep and high
As I watched them nearby.
...

In the heart of the woods
A secret garden stood.
Where flowers carpeting the Earth
With beauty and slendor so delicate.
...

Darkness creep like thick blanket
Cloaked twilight with hasty descent
Shadows float like wraithlike gauze
As evening stole daylight to night.
