Angelito C. de Guzman

Healthy fatigue setting in,

A mile’s run bringing it,

Daily habit it has been,

The cost of being fit.

Morning air clears the mind,

Sweating in the cold,

No clue as to what you might […]

Making it this way,

Weaker but surely,

Have a lot to say,

Beating the way that’s free.

Mightier than the sea,

The end of it we’ve seen,

Very few would agree,

Going back where we’ve […]

Another humid mid-day,

Nothing to do but wait,

Staring at this pot of clay,

Reminds me of humanity’s fate.

Death comes to all,

Young and old alike,

We will all answer the call,

We live to […]

Longing for the day,

Freedom still from afar,

Keeping them at bay,

Still struggling in the dark.

The day when it comes,

Will bring joy to the heart,

Takes a while to be home,

Where do you […]

Little triumphs has seen light,

Persistence has paid off,

Doing it made it to little heights,

And avoided being cut-off.

Now there’s joy like a little child,

Gives warmth to a cold […]

To standstill forever,

Resting in the dark,

A life not moving ever,

Far from the river bank.

They say nothingness is a teacher,

What have we learned so far,

Decades seems wasted,

Hope has […]

Show me the way to forever,

A lonely road you travel,

Depart from it will never,

When the subconscious is able.

Often you will feel lost,

Like a mansion in the woods,

You never see the […]

Moonlight shining in the morning,

New burst of energy that lasts,

Still don’t know where it’s going,

Strange shadow in the pavement it casts.

A different kind of nothing,

Of the blue sort it […]

My compact of smoke and love,

Little things I find strange,

One moment you’re up,

Next moment you’re in a daze.

Nothing comes easy,

Love from little things pulls through,

Before it’s bitter […]

Smoking makes the spirit soar,

Nicotine high is something else,

It will get you knocking on the door,

On the other side you hear bells.

For whom they toll nobody knows,

Faith in The One is what […]

Cure For The Spirit

A few drops suffices,

Facilitated cross over,

New life to the senses,

Dull world inside now a little color.

Still feeling a little broken,

Tears that are not […]

Gasping for air a little,

Sipping iced coffee a little,

Day not as bleak as the weather,

As I gather my senses together.

Hope for the future today,

Things will go well we hope,

Keeping the […]

White Dove

Gasping for air a little,

Sipping iced coffee a little,

Day not as bleak as the weather,

As I gather my senses together.

Hope for the future today,

Things […]

Raced to heart’s content,

Little fears disappearing by the second,

Keeping to what’s important,

Little people sharing what’s common.

Home is better anytime,

To roam far we need stronger […]

When there’s nothing more to lose,

When everything is taken,

The tightening of the noose,

Reinforces the feeling of being forsaken.

Faith is a must,

Should be granted freely,

Not a privilege […]

Sitting in this old restaurant,

Ceiling fan spinning slowly,

Barely gets me out of this rut,

Brings to mind things that are almost holy.

Humid air hanging heavy,

Summer air in winter must […]

Nowhere to go but up,

Languished for ages in this dump,

Every bit of hope’ve been given up,

Been living this life like a tramp.

Wine seems to be the key,

Get drunk every night to be […]

Last time there’s nothing,

Never will return again,

Can’t lose this one thing,

Sought shelter from this falling rain.

No one wants disaster,

Can’t be too welcoming,

The call to leave town […]

Looking at the mirror,

Hair ablaze from the heat,

Staring at me in horror,

This creature with sharp teeth.

More scared of me than me of it,

Funny what a slight inclement weather could […]
