Isang tula: Takipsilim

Photo by DOP Marvin Reyes

Ang paligid ay dahan-dahan nang dumidilim

habang ang ating mga kamay ay magka-tiim

Panandalian, tayo'y magkakawalay

hanggang bukas ako'y maghihintay

Tila habang-buhay ang gabi

sa tagal nito'y, 'di ako mapakali

Hindi na ako makapag-antay

sa panahong hindi na tayo maghihiwalay

Ngunit sa ngayon,

susulitin muna ang panahon

habang ang kapaligiran ay unti-unting lumilimlim

Ha'mo bukas, magkasamang muli tayo hanggang takipsilim.

Earlier today, I saw a young couple in our street holding hands and slowly walking to (what I assumed was) the girl's home. They seemed to be savoring each second, each step, each moment that they are together before they reach the gate. They'd probably see each other again in the morning (I'm not sure) but the way they were acting, makes you think that one of them is moving abroad. Hay, young love. So intense. Kaya napasulat tuloy ako ng tula haha!
