Pacific Hernandez Poems

All for myself I wanted you
And fenced you with my love
And faithfully you there stayed
Inside my heart and in my house
...

In the morning of my life, I did not measure time
It was ample, there's enough, eternity seems mine

Then noon time came, it still abounds, comes in a steady pace
...

You were always with me whether it's thick or thin
You always filled my shoes in comfort and in vain
And Wherever I go, you are where I would be
You're not only a friend, you are a part of me
...

SUMANGA

Sumanga ay basket, malalim, mahaba
Na konting masinsin at pino ang lala
...

Pangloob ay naiibang uri ng fishtrap
Di puwedeng tanggalin, di puwedwng ilipat
Pagkat iyo'y built in sa tabi ng tibag
Kung saan mayroong tubig na napatak
...

BUMBON

Ang Bunbon ay tirahan ng mga isda
Na hindi natural, tao ang may gawa
...

PAMAMARIL

Pamamaril ng isda ay maaring gawin
Sa pamamagitan ng baril na de hangin
...

PAGLILIMAS

Ang paglilimas ay saan ginagawa
Sa mga bukirin, sa kanal o lawa
...

DALA

Ang dala ay lambat, malapad at bilog
May mahabang lubid na pinaka-buntot
...
