Ang sarap ng tamis ng bagong pagibig Ang sarap mahulog paulit-ulit Sa iyong mga bisig at halik Patuloy akong nanunumbalik Bagamat marami silang nagsasabi Pagibig mo’y hindi puro luwalhati Hindi ko pa rin kayang ika’y iwan Puso ko’y sinisigaw ang iyong ngalan Hindi ako naniniwala Sa mga naririnig na bali-balita Na ikaw daw ay hindiContinue reading “Bago (A Filipino Poem)”
