Roadtrip ***** The Traveller Poem by Rommel Mark Dominguez Marchan

Roadtrip ***** The Traveller

Rating: 5.0


There are places that a traveller
can ever remember.
The Luneta Park's crawling grasses
where I lay down to witness strange faces
The panoramic sunset of Manila Bay
with its crimson light
The breathtaking hills of Tagaytay -
The people's park in the sky
that lords over the active Taal
and where golfer's choppers pass by.
The Philtranco Bus with its riding lights
wandering along the Albay's path
but I missed to see the perfect cone -
the Mayon volcano; it was an hour of dawn

Over the sea, beside the plains
all the sights of the hills
I had viewed when I passed
through San Juanico channel

While on board Superferry 2
from city pier, I simply threw
my transient warm goodbye
a word of joy because i was going
to the island of Cebu.

Along the sea, various winds
crossed our way; the still breeze
the stormy tide that never ebbs
like the Romblon waves

After I crossed Magellan's frontier
I went down to the place again -
the Land of Promise where I was born
to live life and to spend my earthly sojourn.
