para sa isang summer na bitin

Summer Under the Blanket

By Patrick John Rebullida


I wait for one full day in the sun

Bare-footed and bare-chested, my heart exposed

Flesh hot with sweat from your heat spun

Each moment free, with nothing to oppose


Blurry lines are drawn on the sand

Where crabs burrow and children build castles

Neptune’s waves echo, crash and land

On the white shore, it’s grain rattles


The rough and soft meld into one, unify

Under the blanket of the blue horizon and clear sky

The light of day and dark of night, unify

As I forget the time swiftly passing by


This is the summer I’ve longed for

This in dreams I summon and bind

Let me stay on this white, sandy shore

Under the blanket with fingers entwined
