ERNESTO P. SANTIAGO

 


 

In A Wild, Deserted Dance

 

In ancient, wild

and wet woodlands—

I, too, will grow well

even without provisions,

or aftercare. I do not need

special treatment, and/or

to be treated like a god.

Ah, no one should be!

Love, hear me, in

your own

p

forget me not. 

 

The Unpointed Sword

 

O, her heart also

processes datas

and informations

that she receives

about his device

and its longevity

from busy-bodies,

according to their

terms and policies

and as permitted

by applicable law.

Like old masters,

her goal is to get

life moving again,

after the intense scrutiny of his

dark

autumn

eyes,

without suddenly

free-flirting her flesh,

without going against

the testaments of her

innocence - the God

I never had; thus

 shall I go . . .

 

The Litter Of God

 

While it may seem

like it would be worthy

 to “give and take,” love

is actually a great resource

for all of a life’s primal needs.

Everything a love needs to thrive

– listening,

understanding,

patience

and

kind

heartbeats –

can be

found in us.

Our different

senses will use

different emotions

of love – the litter of

God – in which I have

found an elegant home,

so perfect for your heart

that appreciates timeless

beauty of yourself, not

of someone else's...

 

 

ERNESTO P. SANTIAGO

 

ERNESTO P. SANTIAGO for a long time had believed that poetry is his flowing (es)cape to a higher understanding of the wor(l)d. He spends all his free time between here and there, trying to learn something. He is too small for his ego. He is enough for himself. As a poet the shape of words interests him. He is fully confident in his identity with a Filipino heart. He lives in Athens, Greece, and is inspired daily by the myth of his poetic senses.
