Nothing- but
faded memories to mark
the shapes and signs painted
along forgotten walls- scattered
fragments lost in time.

Footprints and bits of
broken bytes sketched within
tapestry’s lines-home to faded
accolades, place of an ebbing
soul- a shrine.

Long, empty stares without
a sight dashes and glimpses
flashed in and out-remnant and
bits of simple pleasures, the
real treasures of
your life.

Forgotten wishes thrown
aside as soul floats back in days
gone by retracing footsteps
recalling tales-those
lingering echoes
lost in time.

Mirages-
offered sacrifice
packets of thoughts
to coincide- scrawled
in planes and
hidden slopes
immortalized
by time.

    (mirage)

    looking at picture frame
    tricky shadows came
    lady holding tapestry
    is waiting, maybe for honey
    above an eye gazing pretty
    beautiful faces cheek to cheek
    woman’s lips and nose on left
    people marching up a ladder
    to a door, could be bunker
    two holes above is just grim
    could be a sign of nearing end

    things could just happened
    clear silhuettes on a poem
    woman walking on a arrow
    towards a cute home below
    an igorot hut i do know
    why two arrows a long shot
    and a woman cut in half
    i could be right a guess
    and i’m really enjoying this

    *** first and second stanza
    is a woman, third and fourth
    arrows, last one is igorot
    hut…hmmmm, anybody home?
    sorry, i saw it.
