reinalie jorolan Poems

Bind me not
to these longings
that slice so deep into
this lowly lowly heart,
...

Butiki, nagtatanong lang

Paano ba ang makibaka sa buhay
na hindi nahuhulog sa
...

It is when the water sways
That I think of your 'tributaries'
and the warm cozy walk
during the chiily Sunday
...

YOUR EYES,
…such gifts they are to nature,
Their glows are of the crisp morning rays,
Sweetly caressing this sleep drunken heart.
...

At first,
a hunter of words
a night owl that's misconstrued
to be someone as 'troubled...'
...

I sensed she’s no strength to gather
herself away from this gutter

Her brain blames it to the pain
...

In my deepest thoughts
where webs of logic can never touch
I'd meet you there...
I'd say...that is my kind of dreamland.
...

My baffled heart is
Nestled in between your hands.
A scared lone robin
Within your winter's embrace;
...

I'll write...if only I've words
that will frame you perfectly
within each intellectual turn
- a poetry perhaps of a certain form
...

“My Cup of Tea”

My lips parted
in surreal anticipation
...
