Obed dela Cruz Poems

There were many of us in your debut,
A pile of men with infatuation.
I couldn’t take it, I just left the cue
And gave you a note for your citation.
...

Humans, look to that fresh and clean water.
In there, I may build my home and shelter.
But please, never take it away from me
For I want to promise my family
...

Lonely couples through the night as they travel along
Stepping pedals that go round and around for a while
With two innocent hearts maybe not knowing what’s wrong
Though they already knew they may be lovers with guile.
...

In the mouths of untrained ones I see bread from hell
Because their foolish tongues enjoy in its sweetness.
Its baker baked it with a flavor you can’t tell
Because its unique taste will bring you to its spell.
...

In the coolness of the night
I go and get my blanket.
It keeps me warm and keeps me safe.
Nothing troubles me in my life.
...

It’s hard to do a thing against your will.
There’s a command and you want to conceal.
There is this heavy sorrow in your heart.
You decide, this work, you will not start.
...

For my God, nation, and family I dedicate this poem.

I’m part of the army of the Lord
I will preach the Gospel throughout the world
...

When I start a race,
I must learn to face.
When adders come,
Shall I go run for a ladder?
...

Debate is an art.
It is like a beautiful painting that we adore
Because its colors blend with so much magnificence.
With logic’s touch, its importance you cannot ignore
...

Another day is passed but smiles are on our faces,
Knowing that it is not yet over under the sky.
For we know that the rays of light are in all places
Even though my eyes proved the evening tide has drawn nigh.
