Ang Awit ni Maria Clara

Walang kasintamis ang mga sandali sa sariling bayan,
Doon sa ang lahat ay pinagpapala ng halik ng araw,
May buhay na dulot ang mahinhing simoy na galing sa parang.
Pagsinta'y matimyas, at napakatamis ng kamatayan man.

Maapoy na halik, ang idinarampi ng labi ng ina
Paggising ng sanggol sa kanyang kandungan na walang balisa,
Pagkawit sa leeg ng bisig na sabik pa-uumaga na,
Matang manininging ay nangakangiti't pupos ng ligaya.

Mamatay ay langit kung dahil sa ating lupang tinubuan,
Doon sa ang lahat ay pinagpapala ng halik ng araw,
Ang mahinhing simoy ns galing sa bukid ay lubhang mapanglaw
Sa wala nang ina, wala nang tahana't walang nagmamahal.

"Why let go when unknowingly you already have it"


A line of a poem that I can never forget from a girl I loved so much before but we never been together as lovers..

[alviperz]

Living in here in the flock of rain showers
Living in here in the midst of disaster
Never let anyone command and conquer
No one could ever leave and forget her...

hey i also write poems..hehe... have a look..tell me what you think...^_^

I

Thou art the only flower in the sands,
Thou art the only one sacred.
The only kind ever existed on lands
In a world full of anger and hatred,
Thou beauty hath blinded me,
To see you what the eyes cannot,
Follow may what heart dictates to thee
In loving a beautiful maiden lot.
I reached the lieu no one ever could,
Olympus, fervored all the way to,
Passed the road brutal and rude
Mind not what the heart do
To love the dearest kin of Venus,
Hidden from men and impetuous.

II

To love thee or not? Or
To break free from chains?
Answers left unsaid doth
Heart should dictate.
To someone doused with dust
Love continue or halt?
Affinity afoot my door,
Love does what love is.
Thou whipped not knelt,
Disturbed yet unshooked
Rapid thunder shook me,
The truth unfolds
Clear not the voices heard
The gist, is Emily.

III

In the midst something falls
Of an ever-bounded man,
Towards the light crawls
Away from darkness ran;
Doubts shrouded the eyes
Of whom that cant see,
To judge between the lies
And of that what is me,
Thou love may give
The things that cant be given;
Under GOD, to serve and to live
The voice has long been ridden;
So, be loved better be
Than to fall into misery.

IV

Fate brings and fate takes
The bliss I savor,
Its needle pierces through
My thickened armor;
Fate brings and fate takes
The girl I longed for,
When such agony passes
To and from the door;
When you asked me to love you less
I loved you more,
Oh! The lass that I love the most
The only, the one I adore,
Face me and never elude
When love enters do not seclude.

V

Oh! Such beauty shown
A fine lass now you have grown;
Nightingales with cooing glad
Welcoming a gleeful lad;
The eastern light of the dark
Pierces through, leaving a mark.
What was once unbound
Now chained, not found,
What was once free
Now captive to thee;
The bludgeoning that felt
Bruised and broken yet unknelt;
Yet encumbered you might be
But don’t fall into misery.

VI

The reasons, the reason sought
To answer, the answer caught,
Enthused, been enthused to write
The feeling, true it would might,
If doubts shrouds what the eyes could see
Just look, look into the abyss of me;
If the things you see are the things that rot
Ponder, the eyes may fail but the heart do not,
Yonder, look what is beyond
And strengthen, to strengthen the bond;
Life may seem brutal and rude
But GOD never gives that never you could;
The breath may scamper away
But life, into the heart will stay.

VII

If thou trust shall not
Then love will ne’er be!
You know how I love a lot
A maiden made for me;
What love hath brought
May change the stars forever,
The star that sleeps has caught
To replace thee, oh I would never!
These may seem what He has spooned
But never big, too big to swallow,
Don’t fall to what was doomed
Stay way from the remnants of the shadow;
The whip that alters may fail
But whatever would it be, just sail.

VIII

Thus words out they came
Then truth with it follows,
The impact made me lame
Now walking ‘neath the shadows;
Stupid might have I become,
Crazy now have I felt;
Your love, please save me some
Pleading now, I knelt;
Yet look, look into the east
And cover the tears that fell,
To smile made me, least
The rays that made me well;
Oh! GOD how I thank thee
For letting me, letting me.

IX

You love driven by pity
To the really first you’ve ever had,
No match for its versatility
But God protected me ironclad;
Was it only because of it?
Or was it somethin’ else?
From you dimmed heart lit
Was it something that dwells?
Ajar you are standing now
You don’t know what to do,
But you have to make a vow
Only in one canoe;
Whatever may be the decision
Rely on Gods inquisition.

X

Eternal bonds seemed shaken,

For the thought that hasn’t been taken;

The time when we thought we knew,

That miracles happen on us too;

Ajar may you be now

To decide the unbreakable vow;

Wanting me you to bind

That solace in you I could find;

Reap the time to what is right

To consider love and love be light;

But then dissension stumbled on,

I just woke up on a gloomier dawn;

Now I’m lonely but not sad,

Devastated but at least not mad.
XI

Condemned for misjudgments

That’s how I am;

A winner of disappointments

That’s what I’ve become;

A simple walk that means a lot

And a chance to know you better

Turned out to show what I haven’t got

And made me into a big time loser;

The things that I have done

Haven’t done you any good,

For the things that you shun

Showed me the things that I should;

So pardon me for being so cheerful

I never knew it would turn out awful.
XIV

Into the very recesses of my mind
I delve deeper so I can find
the girl that caught me deeply
which held into my memory.
You’re a rising sun yet I’m a setting moon
in an endless chase of affinity,
your face flourished, your beauty’s boon
which beheld your divine chastity.
I love you so, just so you know
so painful as I see and watch you go,
by knowing into my heart you cannot stay
I’m again wishing you’ll come my way.
As i end this noble writing cause
hope to forget all of my loss.

XV

The innocence of thou beauty

Hath wilt my undying heart;

O when can love be desperate?

Is it to give some of thou part?

The thought of happiness

Made my mind clamor;

Entranced away from sadness

Made thou such glamour;

O! Hear the plea of a stranger,

Utter nobody of thou fairest,

Your sympathy made me stronger

Lend me your heart O dearest!

Yet my freshest, away you turneth,

Towards your Adonis you faceth.

XVI

Maria! Maria! What a sweet melody!

The angels sing in perfect harmony;

As I say your name in my highest appreciation

It speaks of only a goddess’s reincarnation;

O’er the creatures that seeks your worth

Only the greatest could only come forth

Coz your eyes shimmer like the purest gold

And your smile glitters, warming up the cold;

My weakened body strengthens in your presence

My dying heart raised by your benevolence;

Only perfect words suited for the perfect lad

Such an honor to meet you, I’m glad;

It’s simply

Victoria

just spelled in words

Clothed in white and robes of lords.

XVII

Oh! How painfully hard can it be,

Of whips and flails I cannot protect

Thee charming maiden made for me

And of joyous memories I reflect;

Roses bow as you stood eager

A scenic site behold!

And of tempests dare never

To break the bond foretold;

Oh! Thou have made me strong,

Victory! Pride is torn asunder;

Finding thee was never wrong

Loving thee is never a blunder;

No impediment will I allow

To break the love I have for thou.

XVIII





Let not question shroud thou heart

If petty disputes keeps us apart;

Zealous eyes I have seen in thee

And lovely smiles only for me;

Never shall they take you away

Nor halt the reason for you to stay;

Death is nothing but a friend

And only love will it defend;

Never will I ever try to leave

Alluring deity, only passion we believe;

Lo! All the love I’ve found

Lose not all the feelings abound;

Enthralling is the site by which we stand

Never darkness nor time will reach this land.

nothing there is
left for me, for us,
but loss --- yet we
choke & gain after
race & rush &
nothing's to come
of it but tick
tack time ---
A little paper on
the cement is
just as glad
as i am, just
as won ---

Why I Am Not A Painter
by Frank O'Hara

I am not a painter, I am a poet.
Why? I think I would rather be
a painter, but I am not. Well,

for instance, Mike Goldberg
is starting a painting. I drop in.
"Sit down and have a drink" he
says. I drink; we drink. I look
up. "You have SARDINES in it."
"Yes, it needed something there."
"Oh." I go and the days go by
and I drop in again. The painting
is going on, and I go, and the days
go by. I drop in. The painting is
finished. "Where's SARDINES?"
All that's left is just
letters, "It was too much," Mike says.

But me? One day I am thinking of
a color: orange. I write a line
about orange. Pretty soon it is a
whole page of words, not lines.
Then another page. There should be
so much more, not of orange, of
words, of how terrible orange is
and life. Days go by. It is even in
prose, I am a real poet. My poem
is finished and I haven't mentioned
orange yet. It's twelve poems, I call
it ORANGES. And one day in a gallery
I see Mike's painting, called SARDINES.
