like a star
she's at the same place
every night . . .
blinking on and off
like a neon light
an egret,
the north star, moored
in clouds
it was nice
of her to txt me
tonight,
telling me that she too
tires of the darkness
deep morning . . .
a cat cleaning the
palengke floor * palengke: Tagalog for market place
my puppy
loves me as is . . .
a sandal
to nibble on
when boredom calls
another
set of eyes drew
me into
a dream i'll harbor . . .
like a ship docking
eating clams . . .
the sea dripped slowly
from her lips
is it some
kind of magic?
a touch of
spring? a blossom
wanting to be picked?
your eyes . . .
a different side
of winter
are you one
of those who smile
and can't say
no, a comic book
character at night?
humid night . . .
watching winter
pass me by
outside my
window, a volcano
slumbers . . .
waiting for her
lover to return
i wake up
to words covered with
pollen
another
set of eyes drew
me into
a dream i'll harbor . . .
like a ship docking
eating clams . . .
the sea dripped slowly
from her lips
is it some
kind of magic?
a touch of
spring? a blossom
wanting to be picked?
sudden wind . . .
a chill as she passes
through me
is it God
weaving us together
into a
tapestry that can't
wait until tomorrow?
time didn't
exist when the rain
came and went
like children
we close our eyes and
hold each
other's hands in a
a toy jeepney
Early spring?
an egret spreading
her shadow
neither of
us want to be alone
facing walls . . .
without candles
and warm smiles
slowly,moon
paints a smile on
egret's nose
will you
enjoy poetry
painted in
captions above
makiling's mist?
moonlight . . .
dancing across your
breasts
sudden wind . . .
a chill as she passes
through me
is it God
weaving us together
into a
tapestry that can't
wait until tomorrow?
time didn't
exist when the rain
came and went
like children
we close our eyes and
hold each
other's hands in a
a toy jeepney
Early spring?
an egret spreading
her shadow
neither of
us want to be alone
facing walls . . .
without candles
and warm smiles
slowly,moon
paints a smile on
egret's nose
will you
enjoy poetry
painted in
captions above
makiling's mist?
moonlight . . .
dancing across your
breasts
dream
of me while the
serpent sleeps
and rhinocerouses
blindly follow
