Goodbye, my dear

ADDIO, MIO CARO

They were on my side before

Suddenly, they weren’t anymore

Good things I cherished

Even they too vanished

Efforts I relentlessly gave

Relationships I could have saved

Wonder why is this true

Solitary and oh so blue

Heavens may have revoked

And this occurring stroke

So used to play along

In the end it was all wrong

People I dearly know

Teasingly, they come and go

Closer to me as my world have changed

Then usual, they acted strange

It always ends, but why?

My heart is aching of various goodbyes

Soon, I know they’ll be back

For me they’ll be in formal black

Some will weep, others laugh

Relived memories on my behalf

As I lay to rest, paid my dues

Suddenly there I left them too

Monday Poem

I am much honored to present a burst of my classmate’s tentative existence in literary world.

My Monday Poem
By Rusty Sanchez Jr.August 28, 2010 (9:00 to 9:30) 

Never ending tell tale stories of misgivings
Unrelenting ….. Unforgiving
Breath of innocence, besiege by armors and arms
Misdirecting……Miscalculating 

Shameless faces of tangential ranks
Captured in lenses without poetic masks
Dying seconds of  clouded fear
Aggravated by sounds of bullets turned tears 

Ostentatious display of might and arrogance
Shelled in a bus to detour a lost rank
Ignited by a flat tire to seize his wallet size
Growling  like a boob tube monster firing with a shut eye 

Making my Monday mourning put into poem 
Conflagrating……..annihilating
Unstoppable……..unbreakable
Forgiveness we seek for the world to understand
