BARUNGBADO (A Collection of Poems by CLAROS,Richelle Diane P.)

THE LAST SUPPER


There came the bitter sound of hungry,thirsty,drenching downpour:
Pit-Pat-Pit-Pat
Solid sheets of tasteless rain lashing down - pelted,pattered the dusty pane.
A black Mercedez Benz sped down the highway route to hell.
The doorbell rang
D-I-N-G!D-O-N-G!
Persistent spurts
DING!DONG!DING!DONG!
Jagged, flashed of lightning lit up the pleasing night to horror daylike.
A figure of satan materialized out of the gloom-
HAWKLIKE EYES, JAW JUTTED,SHRILL ANGRY VOICES
"WHAT THE @#$% ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!"
Kiko and Koko cried,pulse beating nervously.
He bulled her pale,weak flesh.Whack her hard on her bruised shoulder.
THRILL.SUSPENSE.HORROR!
Like in a saga that has no plot.
Storm brewing out.Punctuated by the sudden clash of china.
CRASH!
A DEAFENING CLAP OF THUNDER seemed to shake the CHARNEL HOUSE.

Dead silence lay over...

Not a soul was in sight.

AWESTRUCK by the WEIRD RED-LIGHT SIGNAL.EYES BULGED.
Exchanged blank looks.Koko's throat rumbled.

A chorus of disbelieving laughs greeted her words.
"Relax stronghearts.Your D**  finally dines with us."

They wanted to scream but they couldn't.
They wanted to run but their feet were rooted.
LURKING,WATCHING like some cruel harbinger of death.

........................................
........................................

(Now then,very softly)
Pit-Pat-Pit-Pat
Looking around the table happily.
She had her mouth all set out for
SOME-NICE-BROILED-BASS-FOR-THEIR-LAST-SUPPER.

----宋人素Song- Ren Su



FEATHER DUSTER
Sweeping out all the cobwebs
Removing the trace of dust
Rising,spreading out
like a great wing of smoke.
And everything has vanished
Gone,gone forever!
Except this dirt
staining her "happy" face.
----宋人素Song- Ren Su



ANG ORASYON NI KANDILA

Sobra na ang ilang pagpasipala,
walay bahid nila kung motulo ang imong mga luha.
Gihinay-hinay nila ug yatak ang akong ugma
Bisan pa man nasunog na ta
wa silay pagpakabana.
Mga BAGA!
Mga way baga
kasing-kasing ug uban pa.
Kanus-a pa kaha kamo manghimuta
ug ako maghimaya?
Unya ra ba kung
ako maupos na?
----宋人素Song- Ren Su






ANG DANGUYNGOY NI LIGHTER

Gipul-an nako sa akong kinabuhi SUPER,
Di ko molitok kung way mokaher.
Gusto ko magpakita sa akong kahayag
pero mag-agad ako sa ilang pagbuot kay lagi "under".
Ug kung way mokablit, dili ako  kaserbisyo KIBER!
Asa man ko modangop niini
para ako na mag-buot kung kanus-a ko mobaga  "forever"?

----宋人素Song- Ren Su





ANG KUMPISAL NI KANDADO

Pssttt...
Ari sa gud.
Tabangi ako sa pagpasabot sa publiko.
Dili baya ako buot manirado,
pero suluguon ra ako
ug wala akoy mahimo.
Gusto ko man sila ablihan,
pero kinahanglan mangalhid  usa sila sa akong amo.
Unta,ila ko respetohan,
dili lamba-lambahan,
kulkog-kulkogan
ug bisan unsa.
Kay kung sila tugutan
ngano ako mobalibad man?

----宋人素Song- Ren Su






NEW MOON

Endymion,the hunter
small are his hands,yet his arrows fly heaven high.
She,the Moon,Selene
saw him,
love him,
sought him
came down from the sky.
Her hands are as gold rings set with beryls.
Her eyes are as the eyes of doves washed with milk.
Her lips like lilies dropped like sweet smelling myrrh.
So,Selene sat down
under Endymion's shadow
and his fruit was sweet to her taste.
She kissed him,
lay beside him,
Father and home-
she left them.

But tears poured down,
when his words finally came out.
No music swelled within his soul
just silence surrounded his heart.

Endymion,the hunter
blessed is his fortune
but cruel is he.
Shot her heart out
watched it bleed.

She,the Moon,Selene
fragile is she.
Back to the sky,
fraught with many sighs,
in the cold darkness,
she dies.

----宋人素Song- Ren Su
