A Shallow Grave
Not deep, let my grave be shallow
From dust I came to dust I'd go
And of nature I'll be a part
Nourish even the lowly grass
And be of worth that I was not

On the Sea of Love
I am sailing the sea of love
on a raft of scanty words
Gathering tidbits of flotsam,
phrases, rythm, rhyme and clause
I arrange them into verses
fashions out a ship of poems
And sail on to the one I love,
who is in a foreign shore

Beauty of a Poem
The beauty of a poem where lies?
Is it in its rythm or its rhyme?
Should it be long, should it be short?
Or should it be in florid words?
In words it should and short need be;
but long in thought in entirety
A poem's beauty in nowhere lies;
it is but all in the readers mind

Mababaw na Libing
Mababaw na libing ang hiling ko't nais
Upang sa alabok ako'y makabalik
Nang sa kalikasan ay muling sumanib
At maging bahagi ng aking paligid
Abono't pataba sa damo man lamang
Na silbi'y pagkain ng ibang nilalang
Magkaro'n ng saysay at ng kabuluhan
Na ako'y mayro'n ba noong nabubuhay

Pangloob
PANGLOOB
Pangloob ay naiibang uri ng fishtrap
Di puwedeng tanggalin, di puwedwng ilipat
Pagkat iyo'y built in sa tabi ng tibag
Isang cubic chamber na inukit doon
Sa entrance sa harap naroon ang trapdoor
Sa loob ang trigger na magpapabagsak
Sa trapdoor pag trigger ay nasaling ng dalag

Drama of Life
Our life is a drama and the players are we
The stage is wherever we want our feet to be
But we can't always choose the best place in a stage
and choose the part we act, it is GOD who dictates
the kind of story line, the plot we have to take,
when to raise the curtain and when the play must end

Poems in my Heart
Some of my poems are not printed
Never spoken, never heard
In my memoirs only written
And to recite them is a sin
Pleasing to some, will hurt a few
Not recite them is best to do
Now in my heart they're deeply etched
My mind and thought could not erase
They will forever there exist
Until my time do them delete

Sa Dulo ng Landas
Landas ng buhay ko nang aking simulan
Kay daming pangarap akong tinatanaw
Pinilit kong sila ay aking marating
Subalit mailap, hindi naging akin
Sa dulo ng landas, ako na'y naroon
Ang dinaanan ko ay aking nilingon
Walang mga bakas ako na naiwan
O kahit na anong pagkakakilanlan
Na minsang ako'y do'n sumagi't dumaan

The Lonely Seas
I search the seas of poetry
My sail and wind, a poem
Hope to be near the one I love
Who's in a distant shore
The seas of poetry I sail
Where woes I jettison
When loneliness I could not bear
It's there I ease the pain
But when I found the one I love
There was a mighty door
Standing guard to her heart of stone
That's so impregnable

Crescent Moon
If you're a galleon
I envy you
Calmly you sail the sea of night
Roughly I sail the seas of life
Where is your port of call
If it is certainty
Take me aboard
And keep me from
A fate to me unknown
Pick up my woes
and in the high seas
All of them jettison
Please take my love
And bring it forth
To a love one
Who's in a distant shore
