Tina Marie MannongAgpalo Poems

His presence keeps haunting me,
at times when I have already forgotten.
When not even the tiniest memory
can be remembered,
...

Take care, goodbye
These words slipped out of my mouth
Though they're not the words I want to utter.
I could not reveal the pain I'm feeling
...

Like many others, he has a story to tell
Not of dragons and swords
Nor of his space travel and many lords
Not of his fight with a ferocious beast
...

Here I am
With so many faults and flaws
But these did not bother you
Did not stop you nor pained you.
...
