Songs from “May Panahon” (Words). Here are words to the songs from my album May Panahon , which I released in 1998. I wrote these songs between 1978 and 1989. Most of them were written under the Marcos dictatorship and were my responses to those times. The songs were recorded on a 4-track cassette tape recorder in 1989, in Baguio and Quezon City, with Lingling Maranan-Claver, who performed many of these songs with me live in Baguio. Poems from “Darwin News”. Songs from “May Panahon” (Audio).

http://reinvention.intercreate.net/songs-from-may-panahon-words/hanap-ko

Hanap ko’y ligaya’t kaunting tahimik. Sa luwag at sagana ay sabik. Pagod na ako sa daang matinik. Pagod na ako sa kahihibik. Hanap ko’y pirasong lupain sa bundok. Tanaw sa malayo ay look. Pagod na ako sa daang magabok. Pagod na ako sa mga pagsubok. Sa init ng digma, ako’y nanlamig. Nanlumo ang diwa’t nanlambot ang bisig. O, tila kay daling naiwan na lang ang pinagsimulan. O, pinagmumultuhan ng alaala ng kinabukasan. Saan man mapunta’y di matakasan. Ang taghoy ng bayan na kalayaan.

Magandang umaga, Ka Ramon. Madilim pa’y pabukid ka na. Ikaw ba’y sapat na ang tulog. Sa magdamag na maginaw, Ka Ramon. Magandang umaga rin, anak. Pagod ma’y kailangang bumangon ng maaga’t. Lupa ay naghihintay at sabik. Sa araro’t kalabaw, ay anak. Ang pawis at hamog ay nagsasama. Sa pagbubungkal ng lupang di kanya. At sa tag-ani’y babahagian siya. Kahit na katiting, gagawan ng paraan. Magandang tanghali, Ka Ramon. Kay init na’y patuloy ka pa. Ikaw ba’y sapat na’ng pagkabusog. Magandang tanghali rin, anak.

Hatinggabi na, wala pang pahinga. Antok ay ayaw dumating. Mag-uumaga, puno ng pangamba. Sa araw na parating. At bukas ng umaga. Ng makina sa pabrika. 8220;Mahal ko,” bulong sa kanya,. 8220;Ako’y sipingan at giniginaw. Ang aking dala, bahagyang gumalaw,. Totoo, halika, nang maramdaman.”. Hatinggabi na, nagbuntong-hininga. Di alam ang sasabihin. Mag-uumaga, puno ng alala. At bukas ng umaga. Kanyang kamay pa ba. Ang dudumi sa grasa, at. 8220;Mahal ko,” ang bulong niya,. Mayroon ba siyang maaasahan?

Himig ng bayan ko. Ngayo’y di masaya. Tinig ng bayan ko’y. Himig ng bayan ko. Tinig ng bayan ko’y. Aawit ako para sa bayan. Ang tinig niya’y tinig ko rin. Tutugtog ako para sa bayan. Ang himig niya’y himig ko rin. Pakikinggan ko ang bawat hinaing. Sasalaminin ang bawat damdamin. Ang bawat mithi akong aangkinin. Bayan at ako ay pag-iisahin. Kikilos ako para sa bayan. Lakas niya’y lakas ko na rin. Lalaban ako para sa bayan. Digma niya’y digma ko na rin. Ang alinlangan aking papawiin.

Poems from “Darwin News”. These are poems I contributed to a newspoetry email list, “Darwin News”, that I started on 28 August 2000, and which lasted until 2001. Here’s the text of my welcoming email to to list members, explaining what Darwin News was about:. Too many things keeping us too busy, and here’s another (only if you want). The basic idea is we comment on Darwin events, poetically. We can argue, etc. and do most anything as long as its in poetry. Here are my bits anyway, of Darwin News:. 8220;b...

24 years since landing in Sydney. February 8th, 2010. Early on the morning of 8th February 1986, I was going through Immigration at Sydney airport, sleepy from an overnight flight from Manila. The Immigration officer said to me something to the effect that “oh, you’re in trouble now! 8221;, which of course alarmed me — I was indeed in trouble in Marcos’s Philippines, which was why I was in Sydney, running from that trouble. I asked, with a fake smile, “what do you mean? Happy Birthday, Mama. Posted origi...
