I was born in a small village in the city of Lucena, Philippines. I started to write poems when I was 13. In those days ideas and inspirations were nearer. I wrote about 20 poems before my 19th birthday. Unhappily, my book of compilation of poems was destroyed during one of our heavy typhoons in 1980. I was able to save 'in my memory' only the short poems. The beginning of my early teens were saved by composing and writing poems. Poetry has always been my loyal companionship till now.
Life is full of mystery
of unexpected encounter
meeting faces and unforgettable places,
We just couldn't understand.
...
Goodbye cold WINTER...
Nortured by my waiting...forsaken but not forgotten,
Covered-up the withered dried leaves of AUTUMN,
Renounced the prevailing changes of seasons...without reasons.
...
The curtains are now down.
This human show must go on…
Life must be played till the last breath
No matter how complicated or difficult the comedy…
...
I dedicate a hymn of gratitude to your courage...
For although weak and banded;
...wounded and baffled for years...
...Your soul stayed unbeatable.
