THE SUBWAY

BY: VIRGINIA CLOSE

In the busy moment on the train;
As I watch different faces of the day.
I begin to see a subtle man eye to eye;
Smiles cluster on my cheeks very shy.

The glow in his eyes speaks with tune.
Hummingbirds suddenly appear on the rail.
I then jostle the haggler in my heart;
Lips of mine beaten by the teeth every grain.

In the glimpses of the contouring curbs;
As I stand, all my body trembles down.
The nearby station is so near yet so bland.
I then hope this handsome man shall go down.

Oh! My gosh, I am sure that my heart jumps like a child.
I realise that in every corner of the station is bright.
As the light of the sun blinds my eyes;
Sparkling with brilliance; never stops as I pass by.

Morning is foaming bubbles in the sky.
As I walk in the pathway of the street;
Someone holds my elbow on my right.
I almost jump with fear very scared.

The gorgeous man in the subway is in my sight;
Giving me the book that fell down from my lap!

Tatay (My Father)

TATAY 

BY: VIRGINIA CLOSE

The Angels and the seraphs are passing by

With my Tatay carrying roses to greet me hi!

To see his handsome face makes me cry.

Tears of joy and jovial moments to see him smile.

His presence makes my heart jumps so high;

The memories of him is all that I have now.

The bond that we shared cannot be erased by anyone;

I carry him in my heart every day through all this time.

He was called to heaven a long time ago;

For his mission on earth is polished and done –

To nurture me and my siblings in this world of ours –

Tatay, you are the best – 

Your soul is untarnished and pure.

My dearest Tatay, I love you so!

You have given me the greatest in life and you did so!

Happy Father’s Day to you and your mates up there!

Have an awesome day with the Almighty in heaven…

I Thank you and salute you for all your great deeds here on earth!

HAPPY DOGS

BY: VIRGINIA CLOSE

Barking till the break of dawn;

The Dogs are lonely when they growl.

They have to walk; they have to prance;

To the warm summer day in the park.

Such a pity if they stay in the yard all

day long; for they will brawl with no

control. All day and night, they love you

so; Trolls to come; they will shoo.

All year round, the obedient best friend

guards the house with a grind. Like

ourselves, dogs need to exercise

outside. If they don’t, they will be

irritable; what a shame! They need

the care not only food to eat and

water to imbibe. The assistance must

be given to show them our love.

They need to flaunt their tails with

their smiles; and wiggle them to make

them shine. The great fun in living is what

 we aim. Dogs are happy as they stroll

like swans; prancing delightfully as

they strut with excite. Memories

of hiking give them joy and

content; ecstatic feeling of joviality

confirm in their hearts, inhaling with

grandeur of living when they pace.
