Para sa mga Tyopeng Espiya:
Starting Lines for A Cut-Short Story
(Lilom Anahaw)
In quietness, I hide
my eyes’ sparkle,
everytime your radiance shines
on this shy phantasm.
In lines that try to be funny-
I go nowhere,
As I seek redemption
to make you smile.
My words- they wouldn’t speak
their real meanings
and tell you that it’s your lips
that make your smiles I adore.
I run, as you walk
towards my way,
because I couldn’t bear to breathe
the air that touches you.
