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
