I'm a returning college student... I am currently studying at Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Open University System. I became a widow at the age of 21, so I had to go back to schooling. Poetry is one of my passions since I was 11 yrs. old. I lost my pieces which are usually written at the back of my notebooks. Since I found this site I decided to pile them together here. I write only when I have very big emotions that tries to blow up my heart. So I put it on the paper... and eventually everything seemed to be doing well.
What is love if love is not around?
If love does not sing
'I love you' anymore
Or play no music at all?
...
What sense that she is present?
These are grasses that she has grieve at
There they’ve gone and smart they stood
Has Emerald drunk those flowing rivers that came from her swollen lids?
...
They say it was a place
Of colorful butterflies
floating around virgin waterfalls...
It is not!
...
I see how my hands were bruised
I stepped and felt my feet calloused,
Bend these knees to ease the pain
Release me now unlock the chain.
