Haiku - Gentle Ripples - M(O)MENT(O) - Oh Furious Beast



HAIKU - Unrhymed Melodies


look in front & see

mirror mirror on the wall

I approve of me


and fate led me here

once ordinarily bland

Life imitates Art.


searched far & beyond

Where art though my prince charming?

I'm yours forever


continuity

Living one day at a time.

each dawn awaits me


splendor in the grass

quaint, dainty wondrous joy!

You mesmerize us!


straight up or straight down

my life is like a T-square

where does it lead me?


come into my world

quintessential yet fragile

I am just like you.


----


Gentle Ripples


Cool amber sand,

brushed away the heat.

Flowing,

bright paths...

every motion

leaves such mystery.


Laughter and love

conquer, each moment

The moment

I sense a motion,

where windows

of light

lit the path,

every day

magic and mystery...

make me

love you more.


a butterfly

I imagine

can make you smile

such moment

offers laughter,

mystery

and

LOVE...


sand castles overflow...

withered mystery

imagine,

each moment

as the day ends

a hat, pebble,

slippers...

you, me, us...

how lovely!


---


M(O)MENT(O)


a passage in time

through gentle ripples...

every time

you think of me,

happy thoughts

just pass me by.


make every moment

an island in paradise!

if you turn,

just around the corner

at rainbow's end,

eternal beauty presides.


deep in my heart and soul,

many wonder

one's reflection

in shallow water.


until we wait a while,

until the quiet storm

subsides,

from dusk til dawn

and every summer's past,

i'll be here

...waiting


----


Oh Furious Beast (Ondoy)


you destroyed everything in your path,

mighty, strong, oh furious beast!

non-stop downpour

loud & angry you roared into our cities

total darkness,

an eerie silence...

is this still my beloved country?

or have I entered the gates of hell?

innocent lives,

you did not spare,

gods in the heavens

save us from this furious beast!

hear our cries & our pleas

our agonies, our sufferings

to thee we pray

and beg for your mercy...
