Pag Ila-Ila Kono


by: Lorenzo



Waiting for you
there you came
mango pie with mango juice
your lips being pink
sharing.

Sundae for two
sharing with me

Starting first as shy
but opening
laughing
enjoying your company

It was a pleasure to meet you.
Thanks to your uncle,
'Eddie'

Mo Huwat Kono Siya


by: Lorenzo


When presented with the situation,
that I was leaving Bohol again,
he met it with a smile and a phrase,
"Mo huwat ko."

My grandfather said the most beautiful phrase that I've heard come from him.
"Mo huwat ko."

Kai gusto man siya mo kita sa ahong ginikanan
kai gusto man siya mo kita sa ahong mga igsoon--iyang mga apo.
Mo huwat siya.

I beg and pray to God's sweet embrace
to give him more years to live,
strength of body,
strength of will,
strength of spirit,
so that we can see him again.

My dearest, beloved grandfather whom my memory cannot forget,
whose very voice commands my tears come down.

"Mo huwat ko."

I love you, 'Lo...

And sing and dance with Bugsay and crew

This guy from Dimiao loves to sing and dance
To the sound of Isles who claps with her hands

There's a priest from Bohol who sings and dances
So fast with the notes like fast romances

This priest friend of mine hangs out in Slidell, Lousianna
Down by the bayou with all them cajun'ana

This lyrical guy is pretty cool i say
He makes it fun to sing and pray

Did i rhyme? Yay!

Kon gusto ka nga mosamot kamatso
Yarok og kinahon nga Don Perico.
Tan-awa ang silingan mong si Bugsay
Dugokon sa mamords nga chicks kanunay.

Ayaw na lang gud diha pagpasumangil
Basin mohagtik hinuon imong bangkil--
Gisapot lang ka ug nanimahong uyap
Kay wa kaligo unya wa pa jud ka-nap...

syalan ka ba lord hubag
ahat ka bang nitulibagbag
smelling ginamous de balingsya
bisan gaatubang aning foruma?
bantog rang di ka ganahan ug stocks
kay ang baho ani eggs bugok nga buaks.

[chicogon]

Mga banggiitang mamamalak
Kung sa tagawog pa siguradong mapasabak
Morag nisakag lubing daghan ug hakhak
Ug didto sa taas mosilaab.

Mga adunahan diha ilang gugma
Pinangga jamo nila ning foruma
Bisan unsaog lubag-hubag
Nagsigeg sunod-sunod kang Bay Hubag.

Visayan Poetry perteng lamia
Akong utak perte gajod kaginga
Tagae lang ug bolinaw sa Balingsya
Mohilom ra tanang mobasa.

Sa tinuoray, ang akong utok napuno sa balak
Nga sa goma nga ligid sa kahimatngon makasuyak
Apan sa dihang takulahaw ikaw ang mi-entrada
Handuraw ko gipulihan sa ginamos sa Balingsya...
