Marites C. Cayetano Poems

I've never called you father
I've never called you
even in your name
but what is this pain in my heart
...

if you tell me that your way is right
then I tell you it‘s goodbye for us
‘cause I‘m not going your way...

...to separate ways.
...

It's not the apple
that has poison
not even the wine
nor the shark's fin soup....
...

Are you going to kiss me
just like what Judas did to Jesus?

Are you selling me
...

Kalapati sa dilim
sana'y mangarap ka
sa liwanag ng araw
ika'y mamuhay
...

The sun is shining bright
after the stormy night...
life goes on.
...

Haru da!

kaze byuun byuun
...

Nuong ako ay bata pa
pangarap ko'y di mabilang
manggagamot, mamamahayag
abugado, at kung anu-ano pa.
...
