CFBDSIR2149(Homeless Planet)
No more pity for the gypsies
and those who left their homes as refugees.
A single homeless planet
sans the pull of a star to transit
and not moving in an orbit of a star,
seven times of the size of Jupiter
is floating in the space.
No orphanage or galaxy
to take care of it.
Too cold, fit for the young to live.
Book your tickets soon
to spend there your honeymoon.
To trouble you, there is no earthly goon
or for the budding love to prune.

Cherry Blossoms Adrift
Pink petals passing
Scents above so high
Painted porcelain perfection
Blossoms caress the sky
Swaying silent shroud
Suitors strolling by
Pink petals passing
Lover's gentle sigh
Pastel hues falling
Slow fluttering grace
Pink petals passing
Lining streams in lace
Pink petals passing
Smoothest transit by
Soft essence floating
In most subtle lullaby

Waiting On The Trip
a few days away
anticipation
the road is calling
i want to follow
where who knows
just go
like gone
rest
in death
life is moving
and the miles roll....
the pavement hypnotizes
makes me
forget
but the moment
wished
and is gone....
i will get
hopped up
no sleep

That Which Is Without Light
It is what it is.
Not hypothesized from theory.
Or sitting in laboratories,
Waiting to be probed under microscope.
This reality is basic to see as it is exposed.
It is what it is.
Flame from a fire burns.
That which is without light,
Becomes without definition in the dark.
And a mind comforted within limitation dies.
That's it!
No transit comes from anywhere,
To attach golden slippers, trumpets or wings.
When a wake up call has been attempted but ignored...
Delusions become more dangerous for those entrapped,
By them.

My Whole Path
My learning expounds the districts of lunch and dinner,
A soothing music interrupts the line of thought;
For musicians interfere with the ways of the thought,
The very business matters of a learned man.
Buy their love for the whole of the wine,
This tearful fluid pouring into the rivers of mercy
Shall transform a glowing moon
In transit.
My wisdom shall forsake a boat that crumbles,
This work is solvable for the verses are finer
Than the march of a short man who conquers,
The defeats of the whole path and road utter it.

Gaba
Sa dihang molarga na unta
Namugos nga mokuyog gayod ang bana
Walay nahimo ang asawa
Sa dihang mogawas na unta sa baba
Sa barge ang bus nga ilang
Gisakyan gikan sa tiil sa Mukas
Hunong sa agtang sa Ozamis
Kalit lang mibuto ang bomba
Nga gitanom sa terorista
Sa lubot sa Rural Transit
Nga ilang gikatulgan
Nasunog ang tanan nga wala
Moambak sa dagat sa tumang
Kahikurat ug ang ilang mga matang
Nagsulirat wala gani tagad kapiyong
Sa dihang gidali dali silag kuha
Sa limbong sa kamatayon

Venus Walked On The Sun's Chest
Eight years before walked
On the sun's chest; Earth's
Twin, the Morning Star.
And then you went back
Leaving a bruise in his
Heart; The back-counting
Began- when you would
Keep your gentle steps
Again on that burning
Ball! Ah! The day came!
Yesterday, billion
Curious eyes watched
You, passing through
Silently like a fairy
Of a dreamland, your
Foot prints imprinted
On him like a dropp
Of shade; making a
Cosmic record your
Transit became one

The Big Surprise
Defying Time and Space,
I traveled all the way
To the end of the colorful
And peaceful Rainbow.
While in transit
Through my long journey,
Hoping to find
That dreamed and
Hidden treasure
Awaiting
To be discovered,
A thousand thoughts
Came across my mind
And in one of them,
Your name was embedded!
Big was my surprise
When reaching my destination,
It was not a treasure chest

terrorism ***** MRT and LRT RIZAL BOMBING
Zooming
roaring
coming
falling not from sky
humming like bees
rushing-hour
a city train, it's a metro rail transit
passing
rail road track
along EDSA
goes to and fro
escaping from traffic jam
curing headache commuters
quick halt
dropping
snatching token passengers
then buzzing
zooming falling not from sky
it is the city MRT rushing - hour city train
passing by malls, galleria, shrine

You Whom I Hoped to Reach by Writing
You whom I hoped to reach by writing,
you beyond the multicolored tangle
of telephone wires,
you with your white paper soul
trampled in transit,
you with kaleidoscope stamps
& black cancellations,
you who put your finger on my heart as I slept,
you whom I jostle in elevators,
you whom I stare at in subways,
you shopping for love in department stores. . .
I write to you
& someone else answers:
the man who hates his wife
& wants to meet me,
the girl who mistakes me for mother. . .
My strange vocation
is to be paid for my nightmares.
