Julian Salvacion Poems

“Song For A Tulip”
By: Benedict Salvacion

I loved thee in the quietness of the wind
...

What is it in your name? Your smiles?
For it captures me...
Why do you move like a swan in summertime?
Gentle and yet so wild...
...

Silence, an infinite melancholy
washed in waves over my seventh sea
voyaging to the abyss of my limit
emotion stood still, to sail no permit
...

La Canto Finale
(An Ode to Joan Camahalan)
By: Benedict Salvacion
...

Let me bring you thoughts from the clouds
Fly with me,
Visit the realm of reveries
Let ourselves be lost
...

Calm me oh! Moonshine!
Your son at rest before your arms
Amass the tears and the mourning of your child.
Embrace me by your breath
...

Farewell! Tang my tears enslaved by thee
Tied swirl in maze aghast
Claimed eyes of blinded men
Hidden neath’ thou bitter breast
...

Peak through the glass of time
Silhouettes of beams rushing
Embraced by light
Hear the first cry of my Julian
...
