Vital Secrets
this life is but a facet of life
this death a facet of life
there is a facet of life our heart
cannot grasp, our eyes
cannot hold and our mind
witholding all its secrets

The chasing game
dawn of new year
did it just pass by
oblivious of me?
did it pass through me?
or just inch out of me
and leaves beyond my grasp?
i would chase it
day by day as it gives birth
to another year

At The Beach One Early Morning
i see indifferent soft sands
i feel the fineness of their being in my palm
i bury my thoughts there
my hands holding on
to what is falling out of my grasp
the waves murmur
so envious about my silence.

Why Scars So Many, Coconut Tree?
Why scars so many
all over the trunk
of coconut tree?
O..those are the parting kisses
buried deep on its bosom
by its children hugging close
when death pulls them apart
with its browny grasp!
