WHERE ARE YOU SWEETEST LADY?

WHERE ARE YOU SWEETEST LADY?

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago


Where are you, sweetest lady?
Long had passed since my heart’s Cupid beating
For you was at its zenith.
You are a living ghost that appears
Ceaselessly on the panoramic screen
Of my cognitive antechambers.
Do our thoughts and hears still meet
Betwixt undefined time and spaces
Like blended waves of twin satellites
Long cut off from
Their umbilical cords?
Or am I just churning reveries
Of a love flame long deadened
By oblivion’s deoxidizing waters?
Please tarry not the questioning
Or goner would be my fate.

SYNCHRONICITY

SYNCHRONICITY

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago


Far apart are two minds who’d never
Caught a glimpse of each other’s name
‘Til one day
Unbeknown to them
A same shooting star of an idea
Visited both of them amid
Blankets of dazzling light.

They are both
Children of twinned situations
Whose midwife is
Time.

GYMN THE DAY

GYMN THE DAY

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago

Mood is pokered by afterthought

Of exercises in a gymn. ‘Tis a

Moment when one has no opinion

Or feelings for anything

Feelings are most unwanted scavengers

Let them not descend upon the self on this

Time.

Just listen to sweet music

Of fast and slow beats

Their messages, garbled and drowned in one’s

Unfeeling state.

Just let time past away

Past

Away.

O’ MORNING

O’ MORNING

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago

When the sun shines up yonder

Smiling, greeting smilingly

When birds chirp ceaselessly

Singing, singing soothingly

When ants traverse infinite treks

Working, laboring joyously

When feathery clouds hover above

Hand-waving, gleefully hand-waving

When the cool breeze fills up spaces

Whistling,merrily whistling

Come has the moment of meditation fulfilled

A blessing for the self

When morning’s truly a generous friend

Like a zillion angels, benign provider
