A TRIBUTE TO... (di pa siya patay ok?)
sabi daw nila, masaya daw kapag nagagawan mo ng isang tula ang isang tao. well, gumawa lang ako, naalala ko lang siya kanina eh... hulaan niyo na lang kung sino.
TO HIS STILLNESS
his photograph
has lain on the old table
for quite some time,
and the moment my eyes met his,
the windows of my soul have remained open.
Time has allowed me
to carefully observe every aspect
within the appearance of sylvan frame -
the shape of his face,
the marks on his skin,
traces out his charaacter.
and every detail behind his smile
radiates his aura.
i know
he can never speak
but the glaring look in his eyes swathed my obsession
with bewilderment, telling me
that his stillness proves his sensitivity
but i still defied everything,
and though i never felt
and will by no means feel his caress,
i found contentment by merely looking
inside his beauty that shall last forever,
like his silence
