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
