(Untitled)

(About three weeks ago, I received an elegantly designed wedding card from a distant friend. Today is his wedding day. What can I say then?: "Congratulations my friend and God bless. Thank you very much for still remembering me and utmost for your friendship. I gave you this poem three years ago in response to the one you composed for me and 'tis only now that I'm going to post it through this blog, hehehe...")

From North to South and from East to West

The world contains culture so vast

And so the skin, go red and white

Black, yellow, brown adds to the light.


Some can go somewhere out there

But others can’t so they stay behind

Privileged is he who flies and roams

To hear the truth and meet the world.


A story then starts to build a line

Like these phrases they take so fine:

“They have but I have none”

“I’ll go to sleep ‘coz 1+1 is equals one.”


“The sun never rises from the West

Nor does it ever settle to the East.”

“How come and why like that?”

“Bye, bye! Take care,” and just like what?


Off to Marinduque from out of plan

Three days, four nights same shirt and pant.

But just relax, explore, enjoy and have some fun

Simply like the dance plays of Shahrukh Khan.


India, America and the Philippines

With intrigues and mysteries so filled it seems

Laughter, naughtiness and arguments all won

Yet LB Square’s still a place of perfect fun.


And now - all these lines I know of one

Who’ll leave them all at the IH walls.

Friends he met and again they’re gone

Like the river blue that flows and rolls.
