Poems

Here are some of my poems (first published in my blog)

Maria
Tinititigan
Tinatanong
Ano ang mali
Ano ang nagawa
Ano na naman.

Araw-gabi,
Sa iyong katahimikan
Ako'y kinakain
Ng pagdududa
Sa pagtrato ko sa 'yo.

Namumugtog na mata
Nagpupumilit makakita
Ayun lang pala...

Kulang ng ampersand
Ang scanf
Sa function mo
Na askPlayAgain.

Angel's Feather
This lone feather I hold
In the palm of my hand
Belonged to an angel
My heart besotted

Alas, my calls she laid aside
My summons for naught
Her Master's answered
Who sent her off away from me

But she left me a trifling
A treasure I daresay
A little feather
With silver lining

In hope's embrace
I put myself
Waiting for her
Below the stars

Who weep for us.

Craven's Folly
I am the grim wanderer of the realm
Let me narrate to you my gloomy tale:
Our host fought a battle with blazing helm
And was about to conquer the gladden dale
But the White Prince came, majestic, screaming
A battle-cry, and cleaved through our soldiers
And raising his standard, his men following
Sweeping on us, like a tide of boulders
Our men fought bravely with sword and shield
But the Prince’s men were like angry gods,
Rending and tearing on the blood-red field
Lo! I could do nothing, stacked were the odds
For I was a craven, fleeing the sight
Wretched am I now, doomed, lonely, like night.
