Maia Padua Poems

*a simple poem heartily dedicated to all my friends
and to Tina Benedicto and her friends (Taiwan)
...

How can I say I love you,
When every beat of my heart say no?
Every blink of my eyes says it's not you,
Every whisper of my mind deny it too,
...

Every birds' soulful song exalts our soul
Breeze is like God's touch, caressing
The dancing leaves tells the glory
The glory of God, the glory of His kingdom.
...

(my dreams in my teenage life where this kind of dreams
usually visited me in my sleep)

I
...

Heard their moans and hungry cries?
Lying in the street with nothing to eat..
Seen their raggy looks and dirty dress?
Tying to cover their young and skinny bodies.
...

Everyday,
I see beauty around me
I feel the warmth of the sun
The coolness of the rain
...

Tomorrow maybe so uncertain
Maybe buried by today's shortcomings
Clouded with tremor and aloof tranquility
We stumble on the rotten ground
...

A mystique smile
Along with your deep set eyes
Gazing blankly, mystery lies.
...

esp. to M.A.A.(my cousin)
(Sparing Partners-Recoletos) Joy, Judy, Cithamae, Luningning,

Alas, time has flew swiftly
Leaving memories of our childhood days
Of what things to do and words to say
Those days of uncertainty
