Para Sa Mahal Kong A.R
(by: May S. Leynes)

1-
Nagtagpo ang aming mga mata
sa kakatwang sitwasyon sa labas ng simbahan
ay kung bakit puso kay bilis ng pintig
parang may kabayong ang takbo'y mabilis
at kahit may kaba ay ngumiting pilit.

2-
Nagdaop ang mga palad namin
at nagkakilala kahit hindi alam ang sasabihin
sa isa't isa matiim ang pagtingin
ilipad nawa ng hangin ang kabang nasa aking dibdib.

3-
Mga mata niyang parang nangungusap
mga palad niyang mainit, kay inam humawak
na parang palad ko'y ayaw pakawalan
paligid ko'y kulay rosas
nangangarap, isip ay lumilipad.

4-
Lumipas ang ilang araw
ang ugnayan namin ay teks at tawag lang
marinig ko lang boses niya
masaya ako't puno ng sigla
ganito ba ang pag ibig?
hindi inaasahang madadama pala.

5-
Nais kong isigaw sa mundo
minamahal ko siya, sana po ay ingatan Mo
sa isang labanan ng magkapwa Pilipino
sa alitang hindi mawatasan
bakit 'di magkaisa, bakit naglalaban?
Diyos ko, ang minamahal ko, iyo pong ingatan.

6-
Halos madurog ang puso ng matanaw siyang paparating
puno ng putik ang pandigmang sapatos
ang damit niya'y meron pang bakas ng dugong natuyo
Diyos ko, bakit ba isang kawal ang minahal ko?
bakit siya ang ipinagkaloob Mo na makasama ko?
gayong alam Mo na minsa'y duwag ako
takot sa reyalidad na isang araw
babawiin Mo siya sa akin ng walang paalam.

7-
Ngunit sa t'wing ako ay nasa bisig niya
naglalaho lahat ng takot ko't kaba
napapawi lahat ng matunog na halik niya
sa mainit na yakap, lungkot ay napaparam bigla.

8-
Marinig ko lang ang boses niya't halakhak
hindi magkamayaw sa pagpapasalamat
dahil siya'y nakabalik ng ligtas
wala ng alalahanin na sa puso'y mababakas.

If Cloud 9 is Real

A cloud 9? I think it's to good to be true. It's just a piece of chocolates that barely satisfies the sweet cravings of someone who appreciates sweetness from different perspective.  Cloud 9 is just a common comparison from literal sweets to a feeling of satisfaction. That's how I viewed it.. that was how I viewed things; rather.  Because from someone's point of view specially the one who've been through a lot, cloud 9 doesn't matter. Cloud 9 doesn't exist. It's a just piece of nasty sweets sh*t that roaming in this planet to make the fool believes that there must be something in sweets. That there's something to look forward to when tasting it. That there's more enjoyable feelings swallowing it.  And that's hilariously true. There's something to expect from the sweetness of that thing. You'll learn to hope again. To wish again. To try again.  Just one more..  One more bite.. Bite.. And when you tasted it again, you'll want some m...

Somewhere in the Past

By: May S. Leynes Somewhere in the Past🤍 Somewhere in the past Where we giggles in simple things Joyful kids playing In the fields  Of their dreams. Greenfields of hope Paradise of lovestory People believes in destiny Struggling  And wishing To be still called "a family". Sunrises bear freshness To the dying beliefs Sunsets set the time Of the rude rules of the tribes. How rain waters the body To make it more fertile Where even rainbows can be planted And harvested, to expunge all the grudges. How often can people whim To go somewhere in the past And feel the melted love Buried in the ground. Somewhere in the past Where respect is evergreen Togetherness is the ultimate goal To share the blessings is the yardstick Of priceless success. Somewhere in the past.. There was a soul glowing Of purity and innocence That sadly hardened After the turbulent journey Where vulnerability Became the munition Camouflaging the bitter core.. Somewhere.. In the Past. #Taurean #poems #poet #poet...

WOMAN

Image
By: May S. Leynes 📸: May S. Leynes Woman..  - a mama, a companion, a friend, a partner, a wife.. (and many other priceless qualities). They can be naughty, tiger, and sweet as  sugar. Can be a parrot, a recording device, robot and annoying..but; they still deserve man's patience and respect. - when inlove.. she, most of the time, tend to give "that all" in her and set aside herself for the love she believes in..  Oh..woman. 🧡 A dramatic, hysterical, monotone when deeply cut but; can manage to stay calm. She's magic!  Specially when someone just dropped by and treat her "saltik" as an acceptable, worthy, and beautiful facet of her being..  ( I used to said those things to myself before I entered in a relationship decade ago.. and I did the exact things of forgetting myself and set aside all my treasured feelings and decisions to support and honored someone else's endeavors.. that time, ironically!) Ps. This is "A Nougatelli Cookies Sent...
