Whispers in the Night

Why do I hear your whisper
When for a long time
I sought your presence
Yet, I only found
A blank space
That yawns into an abyss.

Why do I hear your whisper
When I am longing for someone else’
Yet, that someone’s presence is there
But not for me to hold.

Why do I hear you whisper
When I am trying to tread
A solitary path
To bring together
Body and soul.

Sa Pagitan ng mga Patlang

Sa pagitan ng mga patlang May mumunting sundot ng ngiti at tuwa Habang nakatunghay sa malamig na umaga Nababalot ng hamog ang kapaligiran Habang araw ay buong tapang Nagsaboy ng kanyang init Kahit hindi gaanong sumisigid sa kaibuturan Dama ang puno ng pagmamahal at pagpapala Sa puso ay pumukaw Nagdudulot ng ngiti sa mga labi Habang puso at kaluluwa Pinupunan ng init at pandama Salamat sa magandang umaga.
