A Friend Indeed

A friend in the phone, doesn't makes me alone;
when things go wrong, the time will not be long!

A friend in deed, will sometimes need,
A dough to feed, but will leave you bleed!

People passed by, with my mind up in the sky;
seeking how to let cry, tear glands that are dry!

Truly many says "Friend!", but few are willing to lend,
ears that are bent, surely will make you mend!

A friend I always meet, will only give a greet;
heart dug in the pit, they'll never make it fleet!

A friend I never see, would always be in glee,
to cause my feeble knee, sturdy and make it free!

Peace is always near, whenever I feel and hear;
her soft voice in my ear, that makes the eye give a tear!

A friend away from sight, always near to give light,
in my mind there's a fright, blown away and made bright!

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!).

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.
