Sleepless…

I had trouble sleeping
When you appeared in front of me
Like you just knew I needed you
And there you were
To keep me company.

Rose Haiku

September showers
Trickles on the velvet rose
And quenches her thirst.

Without a trace…

I used to know this girl
With a cool pixie cut hair;
A warm, reassuring smile;
And glowing skin so fair.

…because you love me…

the simple radiance of your smile
full of warmth knowing it’s for me…
the comfort of your hand on the small of my back
both leading and reassuring me…

Another “tula” about traffic in the Philippines

Sorry my English speaking and reading friends, but this is another Filipino/Tagalog post. But for your understanding, the word “tula” is Filipino for poem. The poem here as well as the last one I posted entitled Tula, were composed while I was back in the Philippines stuck behind the wheel in extreme traffic.
