Caught in Between

The dead sing no songs
Thus I know that I am not.
The living see colors
But why could I not?
I live in a dark world
Where only spectres thrive.
I die in every moment
Only to rise once more.
Fine lines exist between
A breath and without,
Trapped between spaces
Afraid to take a step.

Akong Balay

Singgit lang “Tagbalay!”
Sulod lang anay.
Maayong pagabot
Akong palangga
Kung diin ka pakadto
Kag kung diin ka maghalin.
Tambay dason.
Pahuway danay.
Bugtaw kung gusto
Pero kung indi man
Padayon sa pagdamgo.
