I have no space,
have so much time,
out of the race
(meter and rhyme) .
...
Ito lang ang hinihintay niya:
kung ano ang para sa kanya.
Ang dami nang dumating at nawala
pero lahat ay napasaiba.
...
i play records of nocturnes
at any hour of the day
at any time of the year
none of my neighbors object
...
Laughter salutes death.
Laughter greets God's final 'No! '
with praises and thanks.
...
wish i could pull the
distance between us like a
rug in the sad times
...
To the one seeking me,
I hope you would hurry,
I shan't have much time left
Till my heartwings are clipped.
...
A mountain extends grandeur-
a meteor expends grace-
peace to all who wander-
pain passing with no trace.
...
I stole for you.
You: Will be late,
hon, for our date.
Again? Dropped you.
...
Do you Zen for yen?
Do you beso for pesos?
Are you frank for francs?
...
Even if Gods and men do not love me,
and only do me harm,
I have taught myself love,
and I long to love them.
...
Born to rise again
after intermediate pain,
rise to rebirth, Friend.
...
are my blessings always mixed
because my wishes are vain?
or are my wishes always vain
because my blessings are mixed?
...
Heart, I wish I could give you rest
for that may give me rest as well.
But earth demands we cede our best
and prophet its doggerel.

Cell Phone Poem
I have no space,
have so much time,
out of the race
(meter and rhyme) .
Tried to keep pace,
bet my last dime,
right-about-face
(meter and rhyme) .
