Love Poems of Phil Literature

PHILOSOPHER’S LOVE SONG

By Tita Lacambra-Ayala

If truth is real

it will

become true

If truth is

unreal it will

not become

as you

are truth

as you are real

you will

become true

if not to me

at least to your self

at least to the part

that’s real

to me when I

touch you

SOOTHING AS NIGHT WINDS ARE

Salvador B. Espinas

Love is gentle, love is quiet

Like any distant star

Love is beauty, love is music

Soothing as night winds are.

Love is patient and unselfish

Divine, true, neutral, fair –

Love is ageless and immortal,

Lost love is just somewhere

And the heart that abandons,

Nurses a tender scar,

Softly stabbing, and yet sweetly

Soothing as night winds are.

QUIETNESS

Amador T. Daguio

I am lover of quietness-

Unechoed songs within a silent heart,

A sliver pond, a statued loveliness

Where words can take no part.

I love the quiet ways of memory,

The quiet looks to give you loving praise,

The quiet secrets of my misery

Through quiet nights and days.

The quiet mountains of the earth I love,

The moving clouds, the sun, the dewy leaf.

My quiet questioning o God above,

My quite, tearless grief

MARIA CLARA`S SONG

JOSE RIZAL

Sweet are the hours in one's native land,

Where all is dear the sunbeams bless;

Life-giving breezes sweep the strand,

And death is softened by love's caress.

Warm kisses play on mother's lips,

On her fond, tender breast awaking

When round her neck the soft arm slips,

And bright eyes smile, all love partaking.
