Beyond the years and graying hairs
I am keeping in a book of dreams.
Like dried leaves and dried petals
flooding my way to the mailbox,
togetherness is just one simple note
of words handwritten in a page.
And in my dreams I am trading places
of happy photographs and postcards.
Those promises that fill my head
I am dreaming still. Wondering
what’s like to [...]

As I would keep my path
clear
of grass growths.
I will find a way
leaving a trail.
And watch
the sky touching earth.
The feathered wings
of my angel
on the horizon.
I hope.
I would keep my footsteps
slow.
To observe
some familiar things.
I used to see
in my many quiet mornings
in the clearing.
I would follow
the sun beams.
Over the veil
of the fog.
As it lingers
above the field
of windflowers.
I will gather [...]

I skipped my regular routine attending church services in the morning that Friday. A week ago, I have already informed our pastor that I plan to attend the Industrial Area church service instead in the evening. I also missed out our church choir practice that night, which I am so sad about.
We braved the dusty road [...]

A box of reverie
I open today,
when hearing
a familiar old song.
An empty gaze
through the empty hall
brought back-
sunny days
and the carousel.
And all
the happy couples,
filling spaces
with their dreams
It used to be-
some balloons
float there
among the clouds.
See, even doves fly
with freedom on its wings.
Like changing of seasons
drifting away-
a gentle river
changing course.
I became-
a passersby
to the playground.
To the carousel.
On one bleak, cold
Sunday [...]

Today is January 1 of 2009, I woke up early, surprised why there are no lights from my windows. Normally, I see car headlights in the street and lighted windows from the buildings each morning. Looking at the clock, time seems to have overstepped its normal pace.
I came out of the front door and there the [...]

I watched.
Amazed of the cold faces
Of concrete alighted
Bursting in an orange flame,
as the dust wafted
In the chilled morning air.
There in the distance,
the cadence of sleepy
glazed eyes of towers
Sparkles like goblets
Scraping the sky.
The narrow street
Came to life, one by one
Bloodstream of people
Slowly lining up the busy
Artery of the city.
Soon this numb feet
will drag along
with the [...]

The tides finally embrace
Its long-time lover
Immaculately veiled
As it marches. White
Kisses soothing
The parched
And the laden.
The joy of the morning
And witnesses throng.
The sky’s tenderness,
spreading its golden feathers
Waving in jubilation.
With wind songs joined
In chorus by the seabirds
Of nature’s pure harmony.
With sun’s soft light
Sealed a promise
Of love’s eternity.
This secret place
of your shores.

A neighbor who lives nextdoor had a caged lovebird hanging in the hallway in our apartment. I was awakened one morning by its relentless chirping as if I was awakened by some familiar bird songs I once heard from my hometown’s parish church. There was a surging of long distant emotions that was laid dormant through all these [...]

I was searching through the friends list on my Friendster, when suddenly a name came accross my mind. Yeah, I was looking for this friend for so long and now I am typing her name on the blank spaces anticipating that the search engines will come up with some positive results. Voila!! There she goes. She is [...]
