Sorrow ***** Samal Island Lost Garden Poem by Rommel Mark Dominguez Marchan

Sorrow ***** Samal Island Lost Garden

Rating: 5.0


I lived dying in Kaputian in the island
Garden city of Samal for almost a year
The Davao gulf breeze and smashing waves
Had witnessed all my tears.
Retailing RTW, consignment local goods
Dealing pre need plans, educational
Life insurance, wholesaling facial creams
And the like

Disappointment drew in my heart
As I collect unpaid balances
No interest hike.
Wondering why I was too lenient to native T
Or Samalian except for the better few
I was complete stranger and their
Establishments were
Rise and fall as I knew.
Risk as I ride their colorum
Habal – habal single motor uphill
Prone to death with unlicensed
Drivers no doubt to tell

There was a time I can’t remember when
When the rented house was
Renovated (rental deduction) for
Mini grocery’s den
Then the greedy owner prematurely
Selfishly wanted to grab
Too inhumane act revealed nothing
But uncivilized mob

Perhaps next time I’ll visit and tour
I’ll spend only on its \innocent crystal shore
With sleeping bag, north face tent
Treka sandal, and instant baon
Digital cam to click new pics
And delet old wounds
