test piece
alon (In Tagalog language, in small letters..different from a similar title of a previous work, but not in contrast with it)
alon
sapat na ba ang
ulap sa dalampasigan
upang ang dagat
ay ating masisilayan
araw ang pagbigkas
buwan ang pagluwas
parang namumutawing
bibig at tamlay ng bisig
bigyan mo pa ako
ng rason
upang ako ay huminahon
beach bunny
beach bunny
it's rare to find a
cute bunny on a beach
with a tropical rainforest
climate
often the
price for the
oceanside homes
skyrocket
but why?
I'd like to contemplate
but escape
is just a word that
resemble a getaway
yet the
dreaded city streets
in my town
seemed a trap
are we all
getting stuck
just like that?
—That's what's up
where else
would I want
to go, if you may ask
It's not that my
already dimmed skin
wanted to bask
in the amber sky
but this can also sound
like doing a task
And if you OR I shall
cry one day when we
figured it is a cask
a picturesque view
it is not anymore
something that we can
still mask
the thing i have for her
the thing i have for her
what is it really
that drives
this business
of the heart
to feel the pulse,
the energy,
the vibes,
the market's
upward trends?
Is it high art?
the clashing views
and tastes
in society's
quandary
i am but an
undergraduate
of this self-study
which I hope
one day: that I could
face the sunset
or what they call
half-light
Is she the starlight?
I dream only: her
soul whispering
to my delight
