Minerva Agriam Poems

The morning after I killed myself,
With useless things I thought I would need;

I found greatest Love from the simple moments
...

Who is going to lull a crying child,
Lost in a sea of tantrums?
Who is going to help a lost soul,
Swimming in sin?
...

Oh! Sparkling Nature how
I love to speak of Thee!
But can you give light
To my sojourn for eternal bliss?
...

At the back of my mind,
I got you dancing with me.
With strong gentle arms that
Caresses not my being but my soul.
...

My dearests, let your ears listen;
Your hearts digest the message I want to impart.

Even if you have choosen to spread terror to the world,
...

Can't you read my searching eyes?
Can't you feel the longing of my heart?
Can't you hear the whisper of the lonely
Night that mentions only your name?
...

Love is sweetest when you dream,
And when you dream you give your best;
Plans and efforts are your ways,
To get ahead and have your special dream.
...

Ayoko ng makita kapang muli.
Mula ng malaman kong,
Ipinagpalit mo lang pala ako;
Duon pa sa isang katulad nya?
...

I tried to concentrate, to be able to compose a prose;
Nothing would come to my bothered mind.

I spent hours lying, trying to fabricate ideas;
...

Ang tagal kitang hinahanap,
Di na maisip ang mga sandali.
Araw araw naman kitang kapiling,
Bakit naghahanap pa rin?
...
