Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
O! Time!
What art thou whence gone
Art thou into the mortuaries
Apoplexied asphyxiated amputated
Moves thee no longer in the halls
Where two souls ought be-toke
Their selves twixt binds of Eros’ rope
And ‘twere none a-rope but gallows
Of death before grown and born is
The love before them love lost
Unenchanted a-cursed a-gruelled
O! Time!
Thou wert a cadaver for Fate!
[Writ. C. Aug. 91, University of the Philippines Manila]

THE GREAT RETURN
Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
That which was
Lost may not be lost
‘tis but slumbering in its bed
Beneath its epithelial chambers.
Soon shall it wake up
To conquer its sleeping state.
Soon shall it triumphantly march
To possess the majestic estate bequeathed to it.
Soonest that it triumphs its tremolo of voice
As herald of its presence in the here-and-now
It has come again.
Nay, it shall stay.

BREAK! BREAK THROUGH TIME AND SPACE!
Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
Break, break through the barrier
Betwixt time and timelessness!
Descend upon Terra’s mortal face!
Nestle in the minds of knowers
Who’ll catch you a-glide!
As to your catchers who know not
One another, perfect strangers
Illuminate them with your radiance!
A holy fire you are and ever
To all men you’re passed a-glow.
That you land on different mortal
Baskets at one time and only one
Is cause enough for bafflement
For both simpleton and erudite.
But your stately arrival exudes greater kingliness
Then the wondrous enigma you’ve aroused
Risen have you from beneath time’s antechambers
To exterminate the nebulae of ignorance.

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.
