Ma Aileen Canizares Salibay

Eros's arrow is with mystery,
pain and sorrow aglow on its tip.
Greatly fancied by many
but hits him who least expects.
...

It makes me wonder
When tiny buds suddenly bloom
Not only from twilight till dawn
But all day long.
...

Dawdling around a place on a hump day
Where everything was blue
And a deafening silence is all you hear
Feels like whimpering in a sepulcher
...

When false promises are set,
I taste each like a sweet dessert.

When you hand me a slice of cheat,
...

I wasn't born blind,
yet I become one
when you hold a hand
certainly not mine.
...

How was I to blame?
With those pretty eyes I see,
I feel trap in Medusa's lair;
I turn to stone when you stare.
...

I need no word
nor a hand to hold
Let my tears race down on my face.
Let me fall weak on my knees.
...

Have you got a friend
born with a ram sign?
Only few like to hang around
because lethal is her tongue.
...

After a great show,
a childish desire was all I saw.
In her eyes it was very clear
though her mouth spoke fear.
...

I am not a great poet
but you, guys, made poetry great.
This class was like a clean pad
and you're the words filling it up.
...

She's another Aquarian
who charms everyone.
Her beauty is likened to Aphrodite,
but her voice is to a drunken bee.
...

Along the beach cackles and gun strikes
equaled the waves splashing fun in Songkran.
But as the summer hues flashed in everyone's eyes
why did spring fill mine?
...

As the early sun rays tickle my cheeks,
my lips already seek the warmth on your edge.
And no matter how glued I am to my bed
Your scent quickly magnets my sleepy head.
...

Quick steps.
Hair whips.
Graceful twists.
Heavy sweats.
...

I have had bad chases.
I have won some races.
I have seen horrible shape shifters.
I have dined with fairy godmothers.
...

Lying perfectly calm,
I show no qualm
to the shapes that people make
nor to the steps that they take.
...

On the beach the sun tickled my arched lips;

Its brightness thawed the ice - cold heart inside.
