Code of Silence

a delight it made
torns a flower
a fear it created
within itself
where to cling…?
ask me not
the labyrinth of love
i can’t explain

the reserve was gone
what is left behind?
to hope for a sullen thought
that one
never changes his mind?
or to believe otherwise
that favors reform?

but the flower
is feeble beset with fears
where to resort…?
ask me not!
but on second thought
ask me
i know a little of love…

Epistle 1

Weep, my heart
for the bitterness of the bitter as gall
for the firmness of judgment as verdict
for the worthlessness of vain as hatred
for the painfulness of pain as heartache
Weep, my soul, for all these
Because you can not weep for all these
When your heart is into great delight
Thus, take the chance
that will never take part again
Weep, weep, today
Tomorrow, laugh
And the universe laughs with you.

MR. DANILO G. ARANZANSO

( a poem that was made way back in college)he
looked
at my entire
deep penetrating eyes
glancing with vantage
caustic eyes
I fear

them
yes
I

do…he
caressed
the whole of me
never knowing he’ll do
never expecting he will
but now i know
now, I don’t

know
what
to
do…he
touched
me, I shivered
that was the first I fel
tthat was the first thrill
it drowned me
till i can’t
stop
him
no

more…he
lied
to me, I cried
one day, bursted out
never thought he’ll do
the worst
I felt
is to
cry,
I

did…he
made
me believe all
made me happy, what??
made me disappointed
at times, he does
but not mostof the
time
he
is…

he
cried
in front of me
he doesn’t want it be known
he doesn’t like crying, I think
was it a sign

of what?
love?
oh…
I
know.he
got angry
and I know why
he doesn’t like me to smoke
but he does smoke, he does
and keeps on
till I also
hated

what
he
did…he
got jealous
with whom? I’ve had many
crushes, few admirers
he hates the tags
that was an act
of knowing
if he cares
but
I
know…

he
got a name
MR. DANILO G. ARANZANSO
a neophyte in the name
of love they say
how’s that?
please
explain…

Sweet Baby Kay

You are the fruit of our love
Sweet baby Kay,
A blessing along life’s skein,
A smile in the midst of melancholy,
A hope between uncertainties.

You are a jewel, sweet Kay,
A priceless and unequaled jewel,
You are the joy and the laughter
Overflowing our hearts,
You are everything,
and we love you so much.

Heart’s Struggle

Restless, my heart is…
The solace you offered
Straight it may seem, was hurting.
Bewildered, my mind is
Conquered by emotion
Struggling to last.

A love bestowed
Became a love denied,
A love pursued
Into a love surrendered.
You must remember, my heart,
Do not bleed for anything…

Specially to insensibilities
Instead, with your mind
Go on loving and giving
Never expecting the returns
But deliberately forgiving
Feeling sunk, my soul is…
