Sands of Illusion

Ate asked for help. :D I don't know if this is considered as sonnet, but I made sure it has fourteen lines and follows the iambic pentameter. :D

Sonnet I, Sands of Illusion
(A sonnet in response to Dr. Jose Rizal's To Josephine)

The sea rolls its waves towards my new home
The breeze cools my unsettling emotion
I have cast my heart and soul to stay, not roam
Yet my hands clutch on moments with passion
On these shores my eyes seek for your figure
My overwhelming flight tires my strange mind
I imagine things, I feel your gesture
And the sunlight fires my heart to be blind
Is this real? Or the fantasy of a seer?
Will the husky scent of your neck linger?
Jose, Jose, Love, are you really here?
Did you fly and land to make me stronger?
Ah, but the moon sings the reality
I am but a fool of despondency

Heehee. :3

Sulyap

Had my prepcourse. :) Was inspired to make a poem. :D


Matagal ng itinatago-tago
Aking paningi'y di na nagbago
Ang lahat ay nawawala
Kapag ika'y nakikita
Galaw mo'y sinusundan
Habang ika't pinagmamasdan

Noong nakita ka
Di inaakala
Damdamin ay umaapaw
Sa mga bituin
Aking panalangin
Na sana'y mapansin mo rin

Bawat salita ay parang musika
Ngunit ako'y isang saling pusa
Sa libro mong napakakulay
Anong diperensya
Kung ako'y mawawala
Sa iyong buhay?

Hanggang kailan kaya
Matitiis ng pusong
Isang sulyap mo'y sumasaya?

I'll post the sonnet I made for my sister's PI100 requirements next. ;)
