Answer to Game in Poem "The Old Songs"

Answer to Game in Poem "The Old Songs"

The Old Songs
(by Luke Walter A. Ceballos)

Line:

Hiding inside myself,


to wait and see a different view in my life --

someone waiting home for me,


maybe she'll lay her head on my shoulder.


I know you'll understand,

the moment you touch me --

maybe it's you,

maybe the old songs.


I've been so alone all my life,

I guess I wanted something new in my life.

I've been saving love songs and lullabies,

I'm tired of listening alone.
From the Song:

Hiding Inside Myself by Kenny Rankin

Something New In My Life by Stephen Bishop

It Might Be You by Stephen Bishop

The Old Songs by Barry Manilow

somewhere i have never travelled (by e.e. cummings)

somewhere i have never travelled
(by e.e. cummings)

somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully, mysteriously) her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands

Game:

I wrote this back in college. There is a pattern I used in writing this. Can you identify the pattern? What is it? Please give your answer in the comments section. Thanks.

Saturday Night is Also Lonely (by Lamberto G. Ceballos; published in Home Life July 1999)

Saturday Night is Also Lonely
(by Lamberto G.Ceballos; published in Home Life July 1999)


The office chores have already been put away
Inside cold steel cabinets.
On the street I am now a stranger
To nondescript faces from nowhere
Only to be gone in the midst
Of interweaving scenes of light
And shadows.
How lonely the hours of one who wlaks alone,
Who feels the pain of a friend's absence.

Here in this KTV bar they don't care
And don't really know if a song is sung
In pain as a love of long ago did
Under a golden moon after losing his bride.

You're not here, my friend,
And I cannot flee from the drowning
Loneliness even when beer mugs clink
In the dimly lit room that engulfs me.
On the sill of my silence
My heart becomes a wounded bluebird
Poised to fly home.

Sitting all alone at my table, eating my ginatan and juice... I came across your eye catching title "... Is Also Lonely."  I was thinking of going out on Saturday, by myself (as always) - on a bar - enjoying the music and at least two shots of Bailey's, then off to my bed at 10:00pm. Yeah, you were right... INDEED, "SATURDAY NIGHT IS ALSO LONELY."

Ang Imong Kanindot

(ni Luke Walter A. Ceballos, napatik sa Superbalita Pebrero 16, 2008)

Unsay naa sa imong hawak
nga sa paglatagaw sa akong huna-huna,
adto man gyud ko mosangit?
Unsay naa sa imong dughan og buko-buko
nga adto man gyud mogakos ang akong ispiritu?

Wala bay nakapahimangno nimo
nga naa kay pamaagi sa pagpakitag mga misteryo
sa imong kada lihok lakip na ang pag-urong?
Ug kini nagdala og peligro nga mga komplikasyon
sa kada inosenting saksi?

Kahibaw ka nga naa kay kupot kanako
ingon nga ang mga bukid gikuptan sa yuta.
Bisan imong gipatag ang akong mga paglaum ubos ngadto sa yuta,
makasibog gihapon kag mga bukid
bisan sa imong wala planohang kanindot.

Unsaon nako ang imong katahom
kung dili man gani tika maangkon?
Dawaton ko na lang ba ang panahom
nga ang kanindot para lang tan-awon?

Nganong ang mga mata di man makontento sa pagtan-aw lang?
Ug gusto man gyud sa kamot nga hikapon ug kuptan
ang kanindot nga dili makab-ot sa mata?

Not a Pager
(by Luke Walter A. Ceballos)
(published in the Philippines Free Press September 12, 1998)

You tear me down to pieces,
each time I think of you.
Turn my head inside out,
the minute you are in it.

You dumbfound me
with songs you learned from MTV.
You keep me thinking,
when you excuse yourself for Jollibee.

You manipulate my heart,
when you press the buttons of your Tamagotchi.
You bag my thoughts
Like a cellphone in your pocket.

But I'm not like a pager
that goes well with your Armani Jeans,
so I won't ask you to be my baby
not like that song from Savage Garden.
