Asong Ulol


Sa pagkahaling sa panahon ng kamusmusan
May isang natatanging alaalang hindi mawawalay
Delubyo ang kaharap habang naglalakad
Paparoonan ay isang masukal na likuan
Ulap ay tumatama sa paningin
Binubulag ang bintana ng kaibuturan
Samantalang ikaw ay parating
Ang aking kaibigang yelo
Mata’y nakatitig, bilugan at maitim
Bumalik sa basang semento
Mga hinagpis tahimik na pinakinggan
Kahit pa ang diyos ay di maintindihan
Ang pag amo mo ang siya lamang kailangan
Sa sigawan at delubyo ng buhay
Ilang araw ding kumakaway
Parating man o paalis
Hindi pinapansin, pagkat hinagpis kung magtagal
Sa maliit na impyerno sa dulo ng mundo
Ilang beses nakinig sa mataimtim na luha
Na galing sa musmos na puso
Ikaw kaibigan ang natatanging kaharap
Sa gitna ng digmaan ng katangahan
Hindi na kita nakita
Baling araw ikaw ay masisilayan
Malamang pasalamatan
Pagkat sa isip ng isang batang ligaw
na sumambot ng kalupitan
Ikaw ang natatanging kabigkisan

I wrote this blog on March 10, 2006 in my yahoo 360 account as an attempt to blog about my medical life (which I failed to do). This was written days before I became a 4th year student, a medical clerk, or in the medical lingo, "the lowest life form in the hospital"... Ever since I entered medical school, my whole life turned up side down. It was like I’m adrift into the whirling pool of uncertainties. I counted every moment, every second, living it day by day. They said it would only take a short time to finish medicine, the hell with it (4 years of pre-med, 4 years of med proper, 1 year of internship, 3-5 years of residency and 1-2 years of fellowship). Partially it was true, toxicities make time fly in lightspeed. I am a 3rd year medical student at UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery and an incoming clerk (duty starts at april 15). Whenever I remin...

Room

When  we were surrounded by chairs and whiteboards Books afloat and skulls on the table Light escaping from the other room Sunrays piercing thru the blinds You were looking at me the way you are looking at him Right now.

Your Grace

Black Digital ravens slowly descend Sliding to open does my hand Unearthing the letter from your Grace Reforming your Sansa's face Galloping steps between our Wall Heavy as the Red wedding at the Hall Can never be mine your Grace Gaze at my white walker face Our path begets Winterfell A great kingdom burned to hell See through the flames your grace Murder by the Hound's daze A visit from the One Eyed Crow Is an arrow from Ygritte 's bow Its the beheading scene your grace These mind bending plots to haze
