Luwa

 Kon gabii ag mahayag ro buean,
Gahayag man rang paino-ino
Kapin pa gid kon iya ka sa ang euyo.

Kung gabi at maliwanag ang buwan,
Ang isipan ko'y lumiliwanag din
Lalo na kung ang katabi ko'y ikaw.

Old Pond

old pond--
a frog jumps in
no water

I’m Back Home!

 I’m Back Home!
***Melchor F. Cichon
July 9, 2021

Beloved,
I’m back home!

I thought her kisses were much sweeter than yours
And her hugs were warmer than yours.
I thought that together
We would walk hand in hand toward our future
Even during rainy seasons,
Even if our paths were like the zigzag roads to Baguio.
I thought that if I slide down
She would help me get up.
But I was wrong.
So I bit my elbows!
And packed up myself
And walked back to our home,
Hoping that you would hug me tightly
Before I enter our door
Like you used to do.

But our home
Was empty
Except for your handwritten note
That you left in our bedroom--
"So sorry,
But I have to go.
I know we will meet again
And forever
In Heaven.
Bye, Beloved."
