Glittering by the myriad silver mists Beneath the rays of the rising sun, Atop the roofs of the village houses beyond Youthful memories the vista reminds. Yonder there the foam-hill often sit To enjoy the morning and lovely sunset, Looking afar to distant blue seas Inquiring what might be across the waves. What would be, … Continue reading

A lovely playmate in my boyhood days When dreams and hope cherished and ecstasy begun, Enigma of love borne by her heart and mine, Fountain of happiness linger in memory undone. Deep in my heart, in its holiest chamber crept The infinite bloom of love emerged, Craving to be freed in her heart lit And … Continue reading

To breath a song into the air is not the preemptive right of the young and the youthful.  It’s for all ages. For as the saying goes: Youth is not a matter of ripe cheeks, supple kneed  It’s a temper of the will.  Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years.  Man only … Continue reading

Why I cannot understand Whose group is telling a lie And whose group is telling otherwise All of them seem right in their hypothetical advice. The first group shouted: Yankees out! Our Constitution demands: Nuclear-Free Philippines! You sucked our economy for almost half a century: Mocking our National Sovereignty, Degrading our Morality. That’s the CONS … Continue reading

SPRING Mountain and river lie in the opening sun, Spring wind freshen the flowers and herbs, Swallows are flying to fill their nest with mud, Doves spread themselves drowsily In hot sand. The blue river reflects the white birds, On the green mountain red flowers are burning, Silently I watch the procession of the Spring, … Continue reading

[ad#468_60_banner_aligned_center] Pipila pa kaha ka liso Ang mangatagak sa yuta Aron ang usa ka Punong kahoy mitungha ! Pipila pa kaha ka kalag Ang mahibalik s abog Aron lamang na’y usa sa Akong pulong magpatalinghog! Pipila pa kaha ka kasingkasing Ang mituaw sa pakiluoy; Makiangayon, tarong magdumala Ikahatag na sa nasod! # Jorge L. Barba … Continue reading

I saw teardrops on petal of flowers, Tree leaves and blade of grass, When touched by the morning sunshine glitters A joy to the heart of someone who cares. I saw fireflies in the night time Gathered together around a gumamela tree, They formed as if a glowing crown to see Which implies the nature … Continue reading

I saw sparkling water dashing to the shore On reefs and sand where palm trees stand, While on a flat rock two lovely figures move Beneath the shadow their secret hold. Suddenly the moon above the western sea Hide on the wandering cumulus cloud, Ashamed to look on the two creatures who shared The momentous … Continue reading

[ad#468_60_banner_aligned_center] I saw candle-like trees huge and shady Where vines and rattans climbing up and down, They stand on ridges fast and heavy, Treasures when felled and rigged and sawn. I saw flock of Elks in mid-day drunk Cold water on creek live spring, Their ears tensed, very sensitive for sound, On their head many … Continue reading

[ad#468_60_banner_aligned_center] I saw the streets crowded with cars And people going all around, They look all in hurrying courses, In manner I don’t really understand. Others laugh and others cried Others sob and others smile; They don’t care to dare lead The others in their way strayed. Along the road the music play With modern … Continue reading
