Listen to My Whisper

Listen To My Whisper

Gee, there’s a beautiful muse
And it is there… in my head
Sometimes, it is in my heart

It is always there
And, it whirlwinds
Within me

I let it flutter down
Like a yellow butterfly, nestling
On my candle-shaped finger

With a silver quill
It was written, now it's a poem
To behold, forever

I wow myself
Like I used to do, when I was 7
And I am so pleased

To be here, as a whisperer---
Cheerfully, whispering unto thee
The beauty, my aging brain sees

Poem

By: Ernesto Pangilinan Santiago | 02/10/2007 | Poetry
Poem Once, I was a poem--- A memory of a rose, ever-watchful Of the orb, whilst angel’s trumpet fills the air. Oh, sometimes then, I was a sweet poem--- The art of your heart; ‘Twas pure and simple, ‘cos that’s what I am. The poem and I---fourteen lines Of uncluttered life, warming the coldness of nights; Relentlessly, rhyming to the sound of your breathe. A sonnet of love, you proudly wrote Of me, but that was before… You lustily engaged yourself, with a free-verse.

Forgetful Poe(t)

By: Ernesto Pangilinan Santiago | 01/10/2007 | Poetry
Forgetful Poe(t) If you don’t want to speak, Why did you call me!? You’re disturbing me, honey You know, I’m really busy; I’ve a poem to finish, about us. Ok, come to my place, If you want; By the time you be here, Surely, I’m done with my writings. Speak, O speak to me now, I can’t let this poem go… Fluttering to an unknown grave. So serious, you are? As if I’ve done something wrong, What’s up honey, bad mood? No, nothing, O my dear Poe(t); I just waited for you, for hours. You’ve forgotten our date!

Sweet Petals of Life

By: Ernesto Pangilinan Santiago | 01/10/2007 | Poetry
Sweet Petals of Life There are times--- I fall, unwittingly and ‘cos of this, I want you to be near …for when my body trembles, give me the courage …for when my mind is confused, enlighten me …for when my memory is lost, remind me of me If ever I fall--- deeper into the abyss of darkness lift me, with laughter’s of the day And, if ever I weep again--- wash my sorrow, with hues of morn flowers and dry my tears, with its sweet petals Yes, I don’t want to live alone--- so this to you I ask, stay beside me that I may not fall into the pangs of solitude

O, Mother Earth

By: Ernesto Pangilinan Santiago | 01/10/2007 | Poetry
O, Mother Earth O, Mother Earth, you’re so rich, with butterflies’ songs and full of olden lullabies, sung by mountains and valleys while rivers keep flowing through the ever-changing seasons of life. You speak the language I hardly know, but your silver touch sends me a tingle, that great joy and laughter bejewel the lake of green. Your yellow orb scattered sparkly gems on the blue water of a mesmerizing sea; as for your majestic sky, it wraps, gently, its arm around me whilst I gaze, at-night, at the stars. O, Mother Earth, take me to the fortress, where kings and queens meet and teach me… the graceful dance of the wind.
