Apo Dr. Sonja: Dios-ti-agngina iti panangbasam iti Dagiti Balikas a Rosas. Ngem kastay kunadan, saan a nasken a batoken ti kaipapanan ti daniw a saan a ti umuna a level of meaning. No la ketdi marikna ti emosion ti daniw, a saan a nasken nga anninaw ti rikna ti mannaniw, awan duadua a nagballigi ti daniw The writer, as always, is outside the poem, ta no naibulosen ti sinurat a kas iti tumatayab, addan bukodna a biag. Makaulaw, ania?

Elusive Disclosure

                                  

                                         

                                         

                                      why your voice paints a rainbow in my sky
 
                                      why my rain turns sunshine in your smile


                                      how your thunder and my lightning can blend-

                         is disclosure I can't understand!

                                        
                 

My thoughts on stray mode

Thought Random

Moments come and go and with thoughts
both controlled and wanton,
I'd like to catch them in here
as always I am wont to do.
Just like now, when I have so much
in my mind waiting to go.  But I can't
seem to get them off the ground!
I just cant! So why can't I?
Most times, it is so easy for me
since words effortlessly fill up my sense
of literary creation, if I may call it that!
Most times, the words would even be there
before the concept comes around.
So why in heaven's name
can't I leave base and go for that silver lining
just there for the taking?
