Frigid, callous heart Sharp poisonous thorns planted Cackling, eye glinted The wicked nearly prevailed Relieved ‘tis but a bad dream © Anna Jailene Aguilar
Coming together
Frantic heart beating I watch, anticipating You draw close… closer Then your breath warm on my neck Hands and lips yearning… desperate © Anna Jailene Aguilar
In your arms
Foreign universe Your strong arms wrap around me A dream. Illusion Yet your touch, your eyes piercing Caressing. ‘Tis home © Anna Jailene Aguilar
Hope
As spring fills the air Leaves turn green, hopeful promise Even gloom soon fades Nothing lasts eternally Save for love to God I pray © Anna Jailene Aguilar Save Save
Inconsequential
I am a mere speck. Average. Insignificant on planet earth. To matter, oh, to matter! Arduous task I should give up. © Anna Jailene Aguilar
In sickness
In trance-like state Calling for help–utter pain Hours of trying ends Later cries and tears no more Hospital bed brought comfort © Anna Jailene Aguilar
Radiant
Not ever will I Radiate like the sun and stars Or beauty queen’s charm No matter how hard I try Save perhaps my beaming smile Though reason limits That heart contains none but love Utmost bliss unmasked © Anna Jailene Aguilar
