SUMMER, STAY, PLEASE STAY

Beauty is in the air, the lazy summer air...
Filled with mysterious notes
Of piano keys struck delicately
Fireflies flit all around the garden
Filled with such fragrant flowers, they intoxicate.
Summer evenings are glimpses
Of a dreamland that inspires gentleness
Also evokes joy for the grandeur of this world
Even in the midst of despairing darkness.
Summer, stay, please stay...
Stay to comfort shattered hearts!
Bring laughter to sad souls!
Lift spirits to the Sun!

THE LIFE OF THIS GIRL

the life of this girl
appeared in her eyes like a pearl
she tried to keep her eyes shut
blinding her but...

IKOT-IKOT ANG MUNDO

ikot-ikoy ang mundo
hindi siya hihinto para kanino man
kahit di ka gumalaw ng maraming taon
nanatili ka sa isang lugar
kahit isang hakbang di mo ginawa
iikot pa rin ang mundo
paikot-ikot ang mundo
walakng katapusan
kung mayroon man
malayong-malayo pa

Strangers to You

a "twist of fate" they say
when the easterly wind becomes a westerly
suddenly in unfamiliar waters
the surface is neither rough or smooth
the stars above are strangers to you
your friend, the north star
has vanished from sight
the map onboard, you trusted
now cannot help navigate
