poems by Marie Pearl Rojas of BSEd IV-English

OBSESSION

Made through the cries of a crescent moon
My name bring forth your spirit's doom
A beauty appears for you to see
Yet tears and sorrows if you possess me

I dance with the rhythm of the waves of the sea
With youthful vigor filled with glee
Dare plunge to deep waters and beyond the bay
And see me waiting there with fey

Dwelt in the entrails of a pagan's soul
With just innocence and loving goal
Have grown and molded with pains and tears
Fated to be abandoned and thrown with fears



GUGMA

Aduna ko'y binuhing kamot
Nga naglukop la'g dagan ug suksok
Magpunay lang gyud ug hikap ug kuot
Sa mga butang nga dili mabunlot

Sa mga ngilit-ngilit, magsuot-suot
Mahumok ma'g magahi, modiretso dayo'g kumot
Mura pud kini'g ilong nga mohapit-manimhot
Sa itom nga butang-mga mugbong uhot

Ako gayud kining gibantayan
Apan dili gyud nako siya mapugngan
Kay kini mokisi-kisi daw gikatlan
Kung dili gayud makakamang-kamang

Maong ako nalang gyud siyang gipasagdan
Ug ako nalang nakit-an nga naa siya'y gisudlan
Kung asa? Ambot, wala nako maklaro!
Unya, nadungog nalang nako
Ang inanay nga pagbakho...



SCORN

Dripping bloods of restless angle
Chanting, chattering – life entangle
Buzzing and beating of untapped wings
Clogging the pavement that darkness stings

Strips of clothes unraveled
Monstrous signals to road untraveled
Guilty notions flooding the dirty streets
Shouting and yelling of conscience - discreets

Mistakes, Sins, take pleasure to Anger
Exposed – that afires the heart like dagger
Words and tongues like swords that lavish
Consumes souls of old with hatred and anguish

Laughters of war and darkness – forlorn
Where spirits of wicked humbly adorn
Kings and madmen solemnly argue
To stones and cottons they never outgrew



WHEN LOVE DIES

Earth and Heaven clash
Like rottening of old calabash
The fall of opposite poles
Ended up to hundred carvings of holes

Leafy moments of intricate collision
Both sides lead to foolish demoniation
Angles and poses of several views
Ended up to numerous, boundless cues

Options and notions of life untold
Creates thousands of reasons to hold
Emotions and emptiness – such a big space!
Ended up to an oblivious love race

Venus and Cupid humbly play
To these profound hearts to go astray
The Fates unsuppressing their wrath
Ended up in uncolliding both our path



AN ANGEL'S CRAVING

An oblivious sight I can't deny
The thrills and demons solidified
Reckoning banquets of dust and doom
Whispering, beggings of spirit's gloom

Boundless era of dusks and fume
Revenge outstands the new millennium!
Stir the luminant shrills and sighs
Let Hades hear the deaths and cries!

Money, Power – have it and win
Join the quest of Pleasure and Sin
Lovely flowers? Have it undressed
Drank its nectar of pure finesse

Give no space to love and compassion
Yet strive for hatred and destruction
Let men endure and beg for Death
Ruin their souls and end their breath

'Tis oblivious sight I can't deny
The demons in me solidified
I reckoned banquets of dust and doom
For I bring forth my spirit's gloom



PAGPANAW

Wala ko pa hibal-i
Ang akong padulngan
Samtang ako nagpanaw
Nga wala ang akong alimpatakan

Ang sagitsit ug busina
Sa akong gisakyan
Mao'y tima-an
Sa gubot nga dalan

Asa kaha kini paingon -
Kining dalan sa Kasadpan?
Aduna pa ba kini'y utlanan
O may sumpay pa libot sa kalibutan?

Wala ko pa gayud hisayri
Nakatunga na ba ako niini
Kay ako kasamtangang nagpanaw
Ug padayong naghanduraw
