the sun shines so bright
i was burn walking under it
i couldn't help but thirst water
whenever i pass through it
but the sun is my life
i will never exist without it
for the light that i acquire
is coming from it, i'm just a moon
my beams are just the sun's reflection.

The room of reality
i won't be longing for anything
i'm but a wanderer who pauses
for a while, while my time is idle
but later after an hour, i'll leave this place
for i'll go visit a room, a real room not
the one we have--an allusions.

My loved family
my grandma in white,
my father at the back,
my aunt brenda,
my mama ching,
my aunt ate edith,
in front is keith my cousin
they are my loved family
maybe they don't know about it
yet it's okay i'd rather hide it
for there's no need for me to shout
how much i love them
and how much i care
even in my simple
dispositions
that i won't care to tell
cause i never want them to be bothered
and find time to spend with me
i'm just worthless,
and i really don't care,
that's me
and i'm always am proud to be me
i never regretted.

agreement
all of us teachers
agreed to pause for a while
and find a break
in this long hectic sched,
we all wish
to serve with passion
and love to our profession
we are but simple
we are only looking forward
to live and let others live
in there own ways
as they pass the test
in life that
can never be taught
by any teachers
but we ourselves who wanted it
to be part of ourselves
for we may be teachers but
we are just guides
not the managers of their lives,
we support
but theirs should be the effort.

Teachers in action
Teacher Angie at the back
behind Teacher Eve,
besides Teacher Emelie
who's in pink
and holding Teacher Mary Ann
her bestfriend ever since,
who were also leaning
towards Teacher Tess
who's wearing blue blouse but smiling,
Me at the back wearing glasses
afraid to be noticed by someone.
beside me is Teacher Flor,
smiling as ever
even the absence
of her family,
infront of her is the preggy,
the lady in gray who's texting
even in the middle
of this fancy meeting,
were all friends
but more to that
we are also teachers
who never cease
to love our own students
we all love teaching.

Me and Lady Emelie
we usually acted this way
as if we own the world
without thinking
our worlds are just
the little world in our hands,
but we don't care
we love ourselves
in our own special way,
problems?
it's just a smile away
it will all be lost
and gone
even before
we lost the worries
in our mind.

T65
not just the drink we all want
it's what we wish to live and more
we all wish
our only strength
are the smile and the enthiusiam
we have even in the pains
we encounter in our past
Lady Emelie wants to be rich and famous,
Miss Angie who wish to be
a repected teacher and be happy
with her loved family
and me who just want to love
and be loved
by you who's there
reading my life
ever since
I exsisted
in this world
of the living.

Flor
she is my friend,
she's the only woman who can understand
why i have my secret love with another man
besides my real partner in life.
she's the only friend
who talks with me about poem
for she's as well as a poet
and will be a poet herself
even not writing it.
she's Flor who never fails to adore
my poor creation
and notices my improvements
in this field of interest,
she is my friend even not saying it.

Ang lyabe sa pasaylo
Kinsa kadtong naggunit sa lyabe,
ablihi siya nga nanuktok
buot musulod diha sa ganghaan sa imong
kasing-kasing samaran,
dawata siya sa insaktong panahon,
panahon nga wala na ang kugan sa
salaod nga gimugna sa katawhan
kinsa mipadayon pagkulitog
sa samad nga gusto nang maalim
haron usab malibri, makapangable sa
bintana, makudungaw sa anaa sa gawas
sa iyang ganghaan nga gapaabot
kung kanus-a siya andam
sa pagkalas nianang kandado
nga gibitay mo sa imong dughan.
Kinsa siya? Kana gusto kong masayod?

At seven
when i was seven,
every night my mother
bound me in front of
our old lawaan table
that my grandfather
made for me
so i can savor
the taste of education
i felt bitter, i hate my mother
when she hit me and
whenever i showed my instability,
my inclination got me
into meer drawings and sketchings
of dolls and houses
i wish to built but failed
in my frailty, my fondness
brought me the other way.
i know i have lapses, i never
read books and listen
to my mother seriously. but i have
the passion, i made my action
fixed in Achilles heel.

ang pagpakahilom
sulayan ko pud unya nang pagpiyong...
basin ug makakita ko ang usa
ka insaktong tubag
nga dili usahay maayong magpakahilom
maayong mutingog
ug unya ipabati
ang imong kahiubos,
kahiubos sa usa ka babayeng nagluib
kanimo, ug mibiya
palayo apan kinsa ang nasayod
naa lang siya sa duol?

lisod espilingon kining gitawag ta ug pasaylo
usahay ato kining gipangayo
apan usahay wala kita masayod nga
ubos sa atong pagpangayo
dugay na diay kitang gipasaylo...
ang panahon mismo
siya ang may insaktong may kasayuran
sa kung kanus-a kini muabot
ug kinsa ang nasayod
ana lang siya sa imong likod?

dili pud tingale maayong kalimtan
ang kaugalingon nga mas labaw nga
naginahanglan sa atong pag-alima
dili buot ipasabot nga kay miyam-id
kanimo ang kabugason
o wala mupakita ang adlaw
ug wala man lang gani muhalok
kanimo ang hangin,
kalimtan mo na ang imong kaugalingon,
nga kung buot huna-hunaon
karon mas labaw kang gikinahanglan niya
tingali sa higayon nga ikaw napod
ang gusto niya, ikaw na pod
unya nag iyang yam-iran...
ayaw nalang kana paabuta..

the fighter
I need to close my mouth,
need to sleep,
the path is long,
and i'm still
very tired.
i had a fight,
a sweet long fight.
i like it,
he was such a fighter.

the sweet corn of old
now it's here,
i'll hand it to you
my little creation,
the small paper boat,
where we will ride
far away from here
to the heavens,
where we build
our desire
the sweet corn of old
the kernels of our
little adventure.

i run the race
i run the race
i sweat to taste
the winning trophy
that you mentioned
in your letter to me...
i run the race
i took the right pace
i was never scared
for you are there
to satisfy my thirst...
i run the race
i broke my leg
i was never hurt
like today
i never expected...

inanag nga init palang kaayo
gihigugma ko ikaw
ikaw kanang
nagpabiling pinitik

nasayod ka niana,
samang nasayod ka
sa matag abot ko
sa matag Sabado
alas dos sa kaadlawon
haron paulion
ag gamayng langit
nga imong gidumala
ug kanang gamayng kamaisan
nga gipugsan ta sa atong duha

Mischievous Love
Didto sa atong kamatayon
adto ko ikaw paabuton sa atong kamatayon
didto niadtong atong pagsalom sa matuod nga kahilom
didto atong madungog ang matuod nga singgit sa atong mga paglaon
didto nga kita unya muhigda sa atong katapusang tanghaga
nga anaa sa matuod nga kangitngit ug kahayag sa pagtuo
sa kinabuhi nga ato unyang puy-an hangtod sa kahangturan.
Baliki ako
Come back often and take hold of me
by C.P. Cadava
dawata ako,
balika,
ug tunla sa imong maloloy-ong gugma
mag-awit ako sa akong mga bakho
samtang nagpa-abot kanimo
kanimo ako nahimong malipayon
kanimo ko itugyan
ang akong pagkamasulob-on
luyo niining pahiyom
nga ania sa akong mga ngabil karon
balika ang tam-is kong mga halok
nga alang lang kanimo
akong pinalanggang inahan.

Ang pangindahay sa usa ka rayna
Naligo ko ganinang alas 10 sa buntag,
gipiyong ang mga mata
atubangan sa akong hugaw ug karaang "shower"
buot duwaan ang imahinasyon
nga ikaw kauban,
gihalukan ang akong pagka-ako
sama'g giulagan ang akong kalag
sa tumang kahimuot
sa hinay-hinay nga dagayday sa tubig
sa akong tabunong pamanit.
Nagdamgo na usab ako
nga kanunay nakong ginabuhat
apan kini hukad kanako
sa usa ka lamiang pasalig ug pangindahay
gipangandoy ko'g giampo pag-usab
apan ang Ginoo wala na
mupatalinghog kanako
dili na ako prinsesa nga libre sa pagdawat
sa kamot sa usa prinsipeng mipadayag
rayna na ako nga nahigot sa sugo sa akong hari.

Pagbisita sa imong selda
Dili ulipon
Dili saktong orasan
Sakto ka
kinahanglang karon na
dili na maayong ugma
maayong karon na
basig ulahi na unya
apan unsaon taman sayop
ang orasan nga atong giduwaan
ang orasan nga babag sa atong
mga lakang
matuod ang oras apan dili
angayan sa atong pagpakabuang
dili ko buot magduslit
sa kalayo nga mao unyay
mulitson kanako
diha sa nagbagang
bukong nga imong gihaguan
pagpangahoy
didto sa bukid sa Kantolimbong
Maong pasayluang manamilit
bisan sakit ang laknit
sa kamot sa orasan
nga ako karong gihunusan
sa iyang mga lakang
pasagdi--
pasagding mahulip
sa iyang kaugalingon
ugma damlag.
Ang naputol
Dili nako gusto ang maglilong
mura anang tagulilong
gustong magmatinud-anon
apan ipa-unsa man
kinahanglang putlon
ang taytayan
nagsumpay natong duha.
Bisan sakit daw ang napiit
nakong panit sa siper nga akong
gikalit ug laknit haron masirado
ug dili naka makagunit
hapit sa akong panit
malayo sa kalayo
nga unya musunog
kanatong duha
sa nagdilaab natong gugma.
