I've got colds for a couple of days now and I'm rather unproductive these days. Anyway, here's an old poem of mine though I really don't have any idea if I posted it before. Currently revising some of my poems.
river hari revisited
the warm west wind's whispering brought me here
where i first embraced the waxing moon
one night when she came down to wash her face
this is where i made love to my muse
when i was a youth of sixteen summers
this is where i penned my first wanton poems
on the breasts and thighs of a fallen angel
perhaps the warm west wind's whispering
brought me here that i may haply remember
the half-forgotten days of my youth
now that i am through with blue houses
plucking withered roses on six-pence beds
BREAKING SIGNS: The Noises of Culture by Cirilo Bautista
Jose Garcia Villa once remarked that “Filipino poets are earless because Filipino poetry is tuneless.” It is not, we imagine, a congenital disease that dislocates their meter and rhyme, but an acquired disability resulting from environmental realities. They are, in a way, victimized by the world they write about, for its noises weaken their sensibility and stupefy their imagination.
