I'm Ma. Aileen Salibay. I'm from Bohol, Philippines. I currently enjoy teaching to a wide variety of bilingual learners in Thailand. Besides my passion in teaching, I have a deep interest in music and poetry. I express myself best through music, and it has become my top dessert when life serves all sorts of flavors. It wasn't until recently that all flavors have blended together and roused the poet that has long been asleep in my core. Every flavor savored has pulled out rhymes that eventually convinced me that I have tales worth to tell. So, when I am not joining a dance class nor a choral singing practice, I am passionately scribbling words that beautifully rhyme in my head. AiLovePoWITry page is an anthology of love, pain, win, defeat, and others that hopes to offer you a good taste.
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.
