A poem is a collection of spoken or written words that expresses ideas or emotions in a powerfully vivid and imaginative style. A poem is comprised of a particular rhythmic and metrical pattern. In fact, it is a literary technique that is different from prose or ordinary speech, as it is either in metrical pattern or in free verse. Writers or poets express their emotions through this medium more easily, as they face difficulty when expressing through some other medium. It serves the purpose of a light to take the readers towards the right path. Also, sometimes it teaches them a moral lesson through sugar-coated language.

“Buhay”
Mapaglaro ang buhay.
Madalas Kung sasablay.
Pero huwag kang tatamlay.
Masaya ang mabuhay.

- Pag-ibig -Ang pag-ibig ay sadyang ganyan Mapagbiro ang tadhana Kayraming mga katanungan Patuloy pa ring hinahanap ang kasagutan Sa buhay pag-ibig kakaiba ang nararamdaman Masaya, malungkot, nagdurusa at nasasaktan. Kayraming mga nais, gimik at iba pa Sa iba’y baliw kung tawagin Sa iyong nararamdaman para ipakita at ipadama ang iyong katapatan. Pag-ibig, Pag-ibig, Pag-ibig Ano ba talaga ang tunay na kahulugan? Noon sa panahon ni Maria Clara Ang pagmamahalan ng bawat isa’y Wagas, dalisay at sagrado Bawat paghawak sa kamay ng katipan Nagbibigay kilig sa kanilang mga puso. Sa pag-ibig ay may nanalo at na sasawi pero tandaan ang pag-ibig ay hindi lamang sa iba ang pag-ibig ay ay para rin sa ating sarili.
“Pag-ibig“
Pag-ibig sayo’y tunay.
Pagmamahal ialay.
Kagandahang tataglay.
Lahat ay bibigay.

“Perhaps”
Perhaps you found me
At a time when I was lost
And just beginning to understand
Myself again.
Perhaps you were
The first light
That I have seen
After being in the dark
For so long.
Perhaps you were
Just a stranger
With the enough amount of kindness
And a little bit of charm.
Regardless of how I have foreseen
You leaving
And how I have long reminded myself
Not to fall again
You had me at an impact
And broke my heart
Just the same.
-And now I’m back to how I was before you came.

“Fall Inlove”
I am over you.
Then my eyes meet
yours once more,
and I fall in love.
