Dinuguan
Isa akong manunulat at bilang isang manunulat kailangan ko ng panulat. Isang araw nagising ako. Normal, mag-aalmusal, maliligo, magkokompyuter, manonood ng telebisyon hanggang sa naisipan kong magsulat muli. Gaya ng nakasanayan, unang-una kong hahanapin ang bolpen na paboritong paborito kong ginagamit.
Hindi ko alam kung bakit ko ito paborito. Minsan nga e putul-putol ang sulat nito, yung...

“huwag mong bilangin ang mga sacrifices mo
kung mahal mo ‘yung tao, isipin mo,
buong buhay mong gagawin ‘yun.
mapapagod ka lang.
- unless gusto mong mamatay ng maaga.”
“Love is a give and take relationship.
You give everything
…and take nothing in return.”
minsan may nagsabi:
“mas mabuti na ang ituring kang option…
kaysa optional.”

oo nga naman.
A nice way of living is way different from
a good form of survival.

Kabaliktaran

Paiyakin mo ako’t saktan ng matindi Lumayo ka’t ‘wag ng magpapakitang muli Itigil mo na ang ‘yong mga ngiting nangingiliti At ‘wag iparirinig ang boses mong kay buti Hindi ko na kailangan ng mga matatamis mong gawa Mga pinagdaana’t pinagsamaha’y kalimutan mo na Isipin mong di kita minahal at ni di mo ako nakilala Kalungin mo sa isipan ang lahat ng pagtataka Pagdudahan mo ang...
Anino, Ang Aking Aso
ni Estancio Hugnatan
Apakan mo ang anino mo’t nang ika’y makasigurado Na walang makatatakas sa pagharap mo sa palaso Ilagan mo ang dapat ilagan, at harangan ang kailangan Saluhin mo ang mga ito at tiyaking di mo kamatayan Pagka’t kung galos at pasa lamang, ito’y iyo pang ikalalamang Ipunin mo’ng mga gasgas at galos sa sangkabalatan Pagka’t ito’y panlabas, hanggang ibabaw lamang Matuwa sa dugong...
Unsiyami
ni Estancio Hugnatan
Inakyat mo’ng mga palapag sa pamamagitan ng hagdan Nagtiis ang binti mo’t katawan sa hirap na nakamtan Naninigas na nga’t tila namamanhid na ang kalamnan Ngunit patuloy pa rin ‘pagkat may hangad sa katuktukan Sa unang baytang bago pa man ang unang palapag Titingin kang pataas at iyong maaaninag Ang kinalalagyang taas ng tinitingalang pugad Waring sumasandal sayo’t...
Tulala
ni Estancio Hugnatan
Di siya nag-iisa pagkat kasama niya Ang hangin na sa kanya’y nagdidikta Ng paghingang minsa’y may bunto pa Kasama niya ang araw maging ang buwan Na kahit sa damang lamig o kainitan Tila yakap siya’t di pinapabayaan Na pinakamaganda pa’y dinadamayan Kasama niya ang lupa na papatakan Ng luha kung pag-iyak ay pahihintulutan Na tatalunan; kuryentehin man ng kasiyahan Kasama niya...
Sigurado Siguro
ni Estancio Hugnatan
At nagsalita ang langit sa tainga ng tao Nagbulong ng mga kataga na di nito matimo Hawak sa palad ngunit buhanging dumadaloy Di mapigilan, di mahawakan, patuloy sa pag-ugoy Pinipilit ng isip na matarok ang kaganapan Ngunit sa laki nito’y di kayang matakpan Kahit kumot, di man lamang malukuban Pagkat ang diwa’y walang mapagkukumparahan Saan huhugutin ang mga rason upang...
Makabuluhang Kawalan
ni Estancio Hugnatan
Sa hanging malamig dama mo ang init Pagkat yakap ka nitong buong-buo Pagkat may binubulong itong pagsamo Sana’y sa hangin na umiihip …marinig mo ang bulong ng damdamin. Sa pag-ihip ng hangin, magkukumpulan ang ulap Tatabing sa kainitan ng araw na laganap Tatabing sa katamisan ng buwan sa alapaap Pati na rin sa mga bituing gabay ng nasa dagat …pagkat naririto...

Pugad ni Kasiyahan
ni Estancio Hugnatan
Isang agilang nakamasid sa di kalayuan Sa dapit-hapon na kay rikit ng pinagmulan Sa paglubog ng araw’t kislap ng parating na buwan Mananahimik at ‘di iimik mula sa kinadadapuan Dama ng bulik kung sa tandang ang lakas at ihip ng hangin Tumatanglaw sa mata’y nag-aagaw na liwanag at dilim Ngunit ang talas ng tala nitong agila’y di magamit Kaya’t ang ibang pandama’y...
Love Birds
ni Estancio Hugnatan
Sa paglipad ng ibon na muntikan ng di maabot Kay taas na pala at di nakita ang kilabot Bagamat kinaya ng kanyang mga pakpak Ngunit talagang malakas ang ihip ng habagat Napuwing ang ibon at napapikit na tila nasilaw Nalito at naulol, nalihis sa sinusundang ilaw Hindi naman madaling hanaping muli ‘pagkat hindi naman araw Alam niyang kaya, ‘pagkat naririyan ang tanglaw Hindi...
Kaya ko siyang mahalin, kagaya ng iba
Pero gusto ko siyang mahalin ng angat sa iba.

To the girl who has everything
by Ethan Hugh
What can I give to the girl who has everything Nothing. Nothing that nobody can take it away from her. Nothing that nobody can even see Nothing that even nature cannot find I can give her myself. I am nothing; But she’s my everything.
Maniobra
ni Estancio Hugnatan
Ngunit saan tutungo ang pagtibok Ngunit saan hihimpil ang isip Ngunit saan ang kahihinatnan Kung hindi nakikita ang daraanan Ngunit bakit ba ako naririto Ngunit bakit tila ako’y nalilito Ngunit bakit puro kalyeng liku-liko Kung iisang daan lang naman ang tahak ko Ngunit paano babanggitin ng mga labi Ngunit paano hihilingin ng aking pagwari Ngunit paano maipararating sa...
Kakaibang Kahapon
ni Estancio Hugnatan
Katulad ng pagsikat ng araw Katulad ng pag-init ng lupa Katulad ng simoy ng hangin Ngunit ibang halo ng damdamin Ikaw ang kapiling Katulad ng pagkain sa tanghali Katulad ng tubig na inumin Katulad ng kubyertos na gagamitin Ngunit ibang kislap ng matang taimtim Biyaya kang ituring Katulad ng pagdapit-hapon Katulad ng paglubog ng araw Katulad ng pagdampi ng dilim Ngunit ibang...
Two less lonely people in the world
by Ethan Hugh
The two types of people in this world aren’t the good and the evil For who determines good? And margins evil? Sometimes the ones who do good are considered bad And the ones who do bad getaway like they are straight in their acts Because people tend to turn a blind eye to them Both the good considered bad and the bad considered good So what composes the population of this world? Let...
Kung tutuusin, wala naman talagang “busted” eh
Lahat naman tayo sinasagot

Sonnet 1
by Ethan Hugh
Then she left her lips with myself amidst And those stars that I long to touch draw near Void was romance and prevailing a tear Nothing was told, like mole, like spy, love breeds When slavery tortures this madman bleeds Writhing in pain where no reason is clear Eating lowly earth inflating his fear For this madman looks up reciting creeds He squirmed to get past the green thorny...

walang puzzle na nabuo kung walang kulang ang bawat piraso nito. naalala mo bang mas maganda ung picture nun kung nagsama sila? pinunan nila ang pagkukulang ng bawat isa kaya sa tuwing makakakita ka ng puzzle piece lagi mong tandaang walang taong perpekto minsan din naman, sa dami ng puzzle piece, hindi ka tugma dun sa nakita mo parang lang pala, akala mo lang pala. pero wag...
Ramon Magsaysay's Credo
“I believe that government starts at the bottom and moves upward, for government exists for the welfare of the masses of the nation. I believe that he who has less in life should have more in law. I believe that the little man is fundamentally entitled to a little bit more food in his stomach, a little more cloth in his back and a little more roof over his head. I believe that this nation is...
Close the Box
by Ethan Hugh
Maybe I’m trying, trying too hard. To achieve something. To love someone too much for me. A pair that we may have but no matter what, we cannot. Maybe after all, all of these were wrong. Everything was just an illusion Everything was just my own magic trick Maybe after all, these things aren’t meant to happen. The laughter that played in my mind After all was a broken record...
Sponge
by Ethan Hugh
When it rains, we don’t get wet. The droplets touch the ground just enough To caress it so tenderly The ground kisses the rain And the rain hugs the ground But they are strangers to each other Even though they are face to face The water runs dry even though it’s wet The soil left arid even with the sprinkle of the sky When it rains, we don’t get wet. That’s the problem with...
Magnet
by Ethan Hugh
We are together but we are not to meet. If we are opposite poles of this one magnet, how can it be? We face each other with our backs And never see the other face to face But how wonderful it is to be with you How majestic. How ecstatic. How euphoric. My mind says it’s all right to have you It doesn’t matter if I have your back And you have mine to talk to All that matters is you...
Someone
by Ethan Hugh
Having someone is not to have yourself That is getting out of your comfort zone That is having the humility to adjust That is putting that pride down That is recognizing the beauty of the other That is having a new lifestyle For indeed, someone occupies you And by law of science, no two substances Can occupy the same space at the same time That is you cannot be the same you if...
Not that I need, but I want
from an engineering professor
To be loved means to be wanted and not needed, where everything you give is just a bonus. To be loved means to be told, “I can live without you but I don’t want to”. That is, that he’d rather stay with you even when he does not need you. To love means to want someone you do not need, where everything she gives is just a bonus. To love means to...
Sonnet 050108
Leaves that thirsted for the chill of the wind Again take pleasure, flowing endlessly From the windows are witnessed, truly thinned The branches of the trunk that hung crusty Branches regain verve, took flight, laid attached Numb from atrophy, recov’ring the health Indiv’dually yet assembled and latched Migrating strength, operating in stealth Crunching bones giving a geared up howl Fluids creep...
is there anything sweeter?
The 10 Rules: 1. Don’t ask her to be feminine 2. Don’t let her drink over three glasses 3. Drink coffee instead of Coke/Juice 4. If she hits you, act like it hurts. If it hurts, act like it doesn’t 5. On your 100th day together, give her a rose during her class 6. Make sure you learn fencing and squash 7. Be prepared to go to prison sometimes 8. If she says she’ll kill you,...
Sonnet 041808
The mute deafens all who heed the essence Intense core, unable to artic’late Impenetrable vigor shown as dense Absent spring, endless waves reverb’rate Minute as dust, loud screaming continues A grain of sand precincts the sea in whole Blind vapor conspire bearing unbear’ble Phenomena, slaught’ring, turning like coal Grasping adrenaline pouring divine Yet there is no more god to cling upon For the...
Sonnet 041708C
Creepers walk across the velvet darkness Yet the oculars shed shafts of glimmer Lenses that protrude, still maintains flatness For gloom swallowed to the throat, not quiver Wounding the vacuum glass, sight of a scene Pans tried to sense, answers nil to the lump Confused matter so delicate can’t grin Phenomenon turns to memory dump Getting across the wall that obstructs none More tedious than...
Sonnet 041708B
Through the wide, able windows of a blind This essence witnessed through a vivid site Rear convolutions surprised formed a kind Popcorns leap’ng in their sockets with their might Palmless pans persists to doodle, inscribe Following an order, waves can’t unearth Beating the cause, showing want to describe Kinetics from unknown, displays rebirth A brush in the cavern able this clear But expresses...
Sonnet 041708
Walking steadfast towards the waiting rear Prancing doll, awakening charges on Grant, memoirs collide lubricate the gear Pumm’ling in the depot to gain wars won Pulling nerves, the support be adequate Clutching to convolutions to make juice Parcels come, conveyed inside a tight crate Comp’lling stirs unable to crack fine fuse Shouts of silence that bewilder the lump Of gray and white through...
