A Blossoming Gumamela

 

A falling Star

Ignites from afar;

A vision unravels

A presentment foretells

A seed within the womb

In still regrets entombed

And withered by forces tragic

But still rejuvenated by the magic

Of a motherly faith retained.

In Hopeful dreams regained.

 

Ah,Daniella!

A blossoming gumamela,

In bloom enchanting

With freshness everlasting!

Ever so sweet,my niece

Deliverer of peace;

Amidst the darkness thrown

Your petals reflect the dawn

Price of a forbidden game

Conceived in passion’s name.

 

 

A morning star

Enlights from afar

A vision unfolds

A presentiment foretold

A Flower so beloved,

In still innocence enshrouded

A flower so beloved .

In still innocence enshrouded

Whose purity is unmarried

With a delicate skin, yet unscarred

 

Ah, Daniela!

A blossoming gumanela

In bloom enticing

With freshness everlasting!

Ever so sweet,my dear,

Conqueror of fear,

Through flying kisses of love,

Swifter than a flittering dove;

Fruit of a forgiven love,

An angel bestowed from above

"REGRETS"

 

By : Gerard Jude C. Bumanglag ,MD  2008

 

If only I could turn back the hands of time,

I would've hindered the blunders of the past,

Avoided the incessant aftermath of guilt

If it were possible to mend heartbreaks,

Stop tragedies from taking place,

 

Settle some unfinished business from before,

Given that very power,

I would've used it without any hesitation,

But who am I to manipulate the course of nature?

 

We all have our shortcomings,

We all have deep-seated flaws,

We all can learn from our mistakes.

 

Crumbled debris of bad experiences

Are he building blocks of my temple,

Thus I try to construct a much more solid structure

 

 

Even when it's already late for forgiveness,

Know that fate or destiny can be both unforgiving, too

So if you've done wrong, just make it right next time

 

Regrets,

Though its minions keep on gnawing at my conscience,

But they remind me that I am indeed only human.
