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.

ON SCULPTING THE PHYSIQUE
Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
When is body strong and sturdy
But on occasions of rhythmic rounds
To sweatshops o’ physique’s crafting.
You are the sculptor your body wood
That you will shape with exquisite beauty and
Undisguised strength.
Your shaped physique is one authentic
Samson: it will mortally slaughter
Time as it reposes its own morgue;
Cremated is the browbeating fatigue
You are to your Self no cynic
Smoothened are the chances for your wishes
To do myriad works unlimitedly.
Like a true sculptor fulfilled
In its shaping, you are t’ward your
Physical frame.
