starstruck ko ni mam erma

ganina, naay ni missed call nako. dayon ni-text ko sa numero. ug pahuman naay nitawag nako. ug sa wa damha, si mam erma cuizon ang nitawag nako. grabe, starstruck ko.

The Shape of the Moon


There were two hikers
reaching a peak
before the sunset.
But it was too high.
Soon they saw the sun
with a tear-lit eye.

Then blackness gently sailed
in the edgeless beach
of orange and crimson sky.
Sundown marked the waiting
for the summit air.
Their distance weaved them
closer but the strands
of their tiredness entwined their failure.

But like thieves in the night
they awoke to continue
to reach the peak while the world
was just about to sleep.
And from the nurtured howls
of the full moon they touched the dark.

They finally grasped
each other to scale the height
of the land form and its fathomless bliss.
And in the morning, their marks were gone,
leaving no trace, yet only the shape of the moon.

classes will start this coming november 9.

but i'm still planning to insert three hours to write a poem and another two hours to listen to japanese anime songs. i also plan to learn nature photography. and this november, i will go back to moalboal. hopefully, i have enough time to go to daanbantayan (my home town) this december. wow, this is bonding time with my pen and digi cam (not just reading and studying books).












p.s. a picture of my cd (japanese anime songs), my poetry journal (where i write drafts of my poems), a small bag (where i put my digi cam), and my favorite book of poetry (witch's dance by marra lanot).
