Marites C. Cayetano Poems

Pride
when it becomes
the only shield
to protect your being
...

Aanhin ko
ang lahat ng yaman sa mundo
kung dito ay wala
ni isa mang kasalo.
...

What's the use
of having all the riches in the world
if there is no one
to share it with.
...

I am your friend
come take my hand
and let me show you the way
to the big mango tree
...

Oh, my Lord
can I ask you not to save me
but save my dearest one?
...

Hell
it is a place
where you will pray to die
everywhere is darkness
...

in heaven
you will pray to live
you will pray for no ending...
...

For the love of you
I will live beyond eternity
even when death comes
I will rise
...

A young man
wandering in the dark
with his heart bleeding
found himself
...

Sirkulo ng buhay
mula sa lupa
muli'y...
sa lupa.
