PINAY |
by Jack
Though born and raised a Filipina she struggles with her mind Fighting back the longing to leave her life behind Family is still dear to her as is honesty and good And if she could change it all today she's still not certain that she would The battles in her heart and soul she tries to overcome In hopes that she wont loose herself nor her precious freedom To look into the mirror is her life a lie Sometimes she can't hold it back and she breaks down and cries Life's path's not always easy and the journey might be slow So Lord will you protect her where ever she may go |

No title by my good friend Tet |
Sumindi na mga ilaw sa poste, Ipahid na ang iyong kolorete, Oras na para aliwin, mga buwitre na kung saang bansa nanggaling. Ibuka na ang iyong talulot, at tiisin ang mahapding turok ng makamandag na bubuyog. Bukas ikaw ay aking hihintayin sa dating tagpuan natin Sa kandungan ko ay walang pait kungdi ligaya na hanggang langit. |

A Night like These |
by Ming 8/99 a night like these in absolute darkness where the silhouette is a mixture shades of black and gray outlined by trees except for the twinkling lights of the fireflies hovering, faint lights from a fisherman's boat from the sea an array of stars studs the deepness of the night in absolute blackness
a night like these where the oceans roar to a soothing rhythm and the cats shrill cry in passion and the humming of the fan lures me to sleep and let me forget my loneliness
for I sit here alone contemplating about my life my past, present, and future dreams and schemes going through the motions of living day by day feeling and and absorbing life to it's fullest welcoming death any second, any moment ready to confront my maker when he asks me the question what have you done?
what am I doing? I seek strength and light in my solitude to understand and grasp the meaning of every action but then again, I still don't find any answers and I'm led back into the absolute blackness and mystery of the deep night that swallows me and not a twinkling of light from fireflies, nor from the fisherman's night raft, nor the studded magnificence of the star, give me the light nor the hope to understand the riddles of life the puzzling absolute grayness of my moods scratching my soul, carving open wounds seeking instant remedies and short cuts to happiness
happiness are nights like these, where the oceans lull me to sleep and the stillness of the moment caress my loneliness and I'm left alone just me, by myself, basking into the fullness and deepness of the night in absolute blackness |

HOME |
(Paradise is where your heart is....) by Ming
No roots, no country, no home, no family I try to be as happy as I can be Like a bird, flying, soaring in the sky, greeting the heavens, I ask why? Why can't you take me with you for a joyride? Bring me to a place, where serenity reigns, and my heart stops yearning, for things i'll never have. Help me see, my friend the beauty of every painful situation bestowed on me. Fly into the sky, and take my dreams with you, my hopes, my fears, and my fantasies. Is someone out there watching, waiting? Because I'm really tired of searching for my lost soul, belonging to no one. Take me to a place, where my restlessness ceases, and I can bathe in love and splendor, a place they call "HOME" |

THE ROOM |
By Maria Victoria Beltran read by Geli in a Valentine's Poetry Reading in Cebu
We drive inside the dark garage climb up- the narrow stairs I hear footsteps deep in my head while my heartbeat drowns my chest, I taste flowers smell its scent but the room is naked the tree is bare, I do not remember what happened next- your gentle touch I strongly felt. I look, around me- What is this room? It is strong and square- It gives fire within my rage, We tread with lowered eyelids here And softly go behind the blinds, But hearts may cry like loaded guns Brains may yell in silent hush And windows soar from wordless beds While walls explode with a violent rush- Inside- this room that is neither mine nor yours alone. |

Ayaw By Maria Victoria Beltran
Ayaw og ilabay sa sapa ang akong gihimo nga bangka nga gama sa papel og sa mga titik nga nagtiniil
gikan sa nagdugo nga kasingkasing nga nagbitay sa tumoy sa saging sa haw-ang nga nataran nga imong gibiyaan.
Ayaw ibahog sa basurahan ang mga lapok nga kaang nga akong gisudlan sa mga istoryang kataw-anan
nga maoy naggitik kanako sa dihang ang yuta nga akong gisakyan nibuka og gilamoy ang katawa ning kalibutan
Og bisan og unsaon nako pagsampit sa imong ngalan ayaw pagtubag kay aron makadungog lang gihapon
ko sa agik-ik sa langit nga giputos sa kangitngit.
Sa akong bahin- gitipigan ko gayud ang mga bangis nga balud nga imong gitulod sa akong panganod
Gitipon nako ang mga dalugdog nga nagdahunog kuyog sa unos nga maoy nilumos
Sa danguyngoy sa mga langgam nga walay sangang mabatugan bisan sa kadaghan sa kahoy ning kalasangan
Og sa kasakit sa mga nakurat nga isda kinsa nahigmata, gawas sa sapa Og sa dangog nga lumot Nga mora og nahimuot
Kay hangtod karon ang haw-ang Nga nataran Nga imong gibiyaan Naghandum lang gihapon Sa pagtuyok sa kalibutan. |

More from Bambi |
Tonight By Maria Victoria Beltran
I will give away my chastity open my moon- and I will yield entirely, totally Madness shall claim me and fire shall possess me, I will swim through the waves grasp the wind of the stormy sea. And you who plucks me on this starless night of Eros from the haughty branch where I perched in full bloom, You who glide between my branches to caress my raging fire shall hold me when I fall- when we fall and resist gravity- |
