MGA POEMS NGA BALAK
Gabiing Dako Dihang Nag-tama Ka'g Pina-Miles Davis
Janeil S. Lim


Gabiing dako dihang giyugyog mo kanamo
ang sonatang bungkag sa puthaw mong duwaan
Baga kaayo ang nilikitan sa dagkot mong hinawiran
Klareks na kaayo daan sa ki-at nimong tinukaran
Dungog ko ang pagsulod-gawas sa balik-balik nga bajo
Bajo'ng kalit gisugat ug bundak sa mga elementong imong gi-maestro
Uban niini ang wa madungging mga pakpak sa sulod sa imong ulo.
Ga-lanog, ga-panawag nag-sumitir nga maka-lupad ka'g ayo.
Pwerteng bulhot mo ginamit ang mga di makit-ang gahom
Mapasagarong gasunod sa dagan sa kalag sa imong torotot
Hinay-hinay mong gi-hipnotismo ang mga nasa-ag nga ulo
Sa mga trabungko'ng na-amgo sa hinithit mo'g ayo
Miles Davis na gyud kaayo ka sa pula mo nga mga mata
Naningkamot nga di makapiyong bisan pwerteng luyaha na
Nagpamugos madungog apan nalubong ang mga piniresong tono
Natabunan, nasapawan sa gamhanang kurambos sa mga instrumento.

 A Requiem For Bukag
Janeil S Lim

We cover ourselves
with blankets of yesterday
as silence drowns the night

Amongst ourselves
we look back with remorse
to seek out what went wrong

At a point where life becomes a blot
you had the edges blurred
to meet your comfort

And with every unlived dreamed
we found you hurling yourself across
the suburban hell that conceived you

The sound of bottles being drained
creates a lamented melody
that echoes the end of childhood

Somewhere,
your smile is forever lost…
Deep Inside The Bilibid Of Your Heart
Janeil S. Lim

Entangled
in imaginary
webs of steel
I prostrate
myself
before the flowers
on your feet
As I serve
my lonely
sentence
behind
the cold
steel bars
of your heart.

In the dark corners,
ghosts cry
unheard
and secrets
come home
to die
A voice is calling
Resonating
endlessly
my name
Echoing
tirelessly
the pain
of having to be
the bearer
of the end
And yet
in this brink
of apathy
its your voice
that sings to me
a lullabye
Coming deep from the Bilibid of your heart.

The Rebel
Janeil S. Lim

All they could
tell me was that
I needed to get a damn haircut
I was busy playing hurt. And all
they said was I needed to get sold
Why does my head
debate each time
I am face to face
with order?
These bedtime stories
have been told before. No fairy tale
can convert me
-to look more human than
all the others in the herd.
Besides, in this burning wool
how human could one sheep get?

Mindless Heart, Heartless Mind
Janeil S Lim

"to be locked up in intellect is to be locked out from truth….."
-Old Oriental proverb


I can't force myself
to swim
To wear my soul wet

Can't find no
better exit
from this soaking hell;

To leap means
having to die

A momentary death

The heart in its tranquil state
slowly defies the mind.
