Dungaw

Eto ako,
sa harap ng
kuwadradong aparatong
magdadalawang-oras ko
ng kalampungan;
Habang ikaw,
ay panay ang dungaw
sa maliit na bintanang
gawa ng labis na pighati.
Sansaglit kang nariyan
at dagling nawawala.
Saliw ng tugtog na
walang hatid kundi
ang alaala ng mga
yakap mo't halik.
Nanunukso;
Nangungutya...
Na para bang sabi
"O sana kung ang
larawan mo'y may
buhay
lagi ka sanang
narito't
di na muling lilisan;
at di na muling dudungaw
lang..."

* This is one of the rare occasions that I make poems in Filipino... when I'm in the real overly senti mode...and you know what? our deepest feelings are best expressed through our mother tongue I made it this morning while I was frozen in a blank stare and decided to post it na lang... bear with me..

I'll be seein her today... She called me up yesterday and she invited me to come by her house to celebrate Mama's birthday... You might think I'm stupid but that's how it is... I wanna see her... Wish me luck
