WORDS
By Angela Manalang-Gloria
I never meant the words I said,
So, trouble not your honest head
And never mean the words I write,
But once and kiss me now goodnight.
The words I said break with the thunder
Of billows surging into spray:
Unfathomed depths withhold the wonder
Of all the words I never say.
MAN OF EARTH
By Amador T. Daguio
Pliant is the bamboo
I am man of earth;
They say that from the bamboo
We had our first birth.
Am I of the body,
Or of the green leaf?
Do I have to whisper
My every sin and grief?
If the wind passes by,
Must I stoop and try
To measure fully
My flexibility?
