Waves ***** Nostalgic Piers In Waves Of Life Poem by Rommel Mark Dominguez Marchan

pier 14 manila 06/07/01

it's quite 20 hrs passed the day
release now my metallic cruise
loose now the twisted cord
pull up then the gigantic anchor
while propeller ready to whirlpool
against the tide current

push us into the jungle sea

then engine chants
in cadence with my mental bid
farewelling pier 14

At Ozamiz port

while m/v our lady of mt carmel
porting at ozamiz port

you are here with me again
to take me away from home
bring me later to the city queen
of south - cebu

i miss your swing while swaying
in rough seas of life
safe and sound lullabying
creating tender sleeps against tide

i am now excited of your cuddle
though it hurts
mama and bj will leave me exactly
7 pm in pier
i need to be strong
so mighty as your propeller shaft
carries me from stormy home
