Kalawakan

Kalawakang walang hanggan,
kalawakang 'di lumilisan;
Parang langit ang kapangyarihang,
natatanaw sa dalampasigan.

Sa dilim ng gabi'y,
liwanag ang iyong taglay;
Sa paggising ng umaga'y,
pag-asa ang naka-alalay.

O ano'ng hiwaga ang nadarama!
sa kagandahan mong kahanga-hanga;
Tunay at walang hanggang ligaya,
sa iyo, nadama't nagsimula.

I wonder how you get to dig into your archive for your poems. How?

@Minnie, pEDo was a very different person in his early years. He was sometimes perfectionist and also very organized, that's why he was able to keep his "small treasures" still alive up to this point. harharhar!

A Heart For You Beats High

Image courtesy of Horvath What mattereth in a calm heart, that from you I cannot depart? A genial feeling overpowereth my smart, like a tranquil beauty of a portrayed art. What ariseth in a sleeping heart, that you had always been a part? A life filled with happiness, joy, and mirth, seemeth to me that I am in a new birth; What hath thou doest to me, that I have such love to thee? A weak heart doth jumpeth with glee, like a bird in mighty doth flee! Background: 04Nov1998 @ 1029a, the poem's title was derived from the last verse of Rizal's poem entitled " To Josephine " which reads "late por ti un Corazon" in spanish. This poem was inspired by one silent lady whom I have fallen in love with back in my College days (aherm!).
