I saw the moon
bow before the sea
bestowing her diamonds
in an attempt to
calm her riptide
high
low
high
low
splash
splash
the surface glitters
the moon illuminating
and bold
yet the waves
never falter
’til the sea cried
to the moon
“never can you
bring me to
sleep.”

I made myself
a
cup
of
coffee
while I was
busy
waging wars
inside
my
head
creating
fictions
out
of
beauty
lies
love
and
envy

Fiction by Krisini Nanini | October 3, 2010
He pulled her hand hastily and brought her to a dark alley away from a lonely lamppost.
They walked deeper and deeper towards the shadows until total darkness enveloped them.
He pinned her to the wall, his lips devouring hers, gentle and fierce, then suddenly her tongue forced its way into his mouth. For a moment she felt surprise, then he responded to her excitement. Roughly he pulled her closer, crushing her breasts against him. Tentatively he let one hand cup her breast and she coiled her leg on his hip. He slipped his hand into her dress and under her brassiere.

(Para sa ating lumipas na pangulo na naging simbolo ng kababaihan, pag-ibig, katapangan at pag-asa)
tulad ng halik
ng unang sinag ng araw
sa mga matang
kay tagal na
nalugmok sa dilim
niyapos ng dilaw na laso
ang perlas ng silangan
at ikinumot ang pag-asa
Poetry by Krisini Nanini | April 26, 2009
you left nothing
but bitterness
on
my
lips—
perfect bliss.
Poetry by Krisini Nanini | April 26, 2009
I will chase you
with my eyes
even if you run
into the darkest
night.
That’s the only way
I can
see
some
light.
Poetry by Krisini Nanini | November 16, 2008
Pagod na ang araw
Sa pagmamasid sa luntiang
lupain.
Kasiyahan at hinagpis
itim at puti
paglaya at paglisan
pagbangon at pagkalugmok
pagtangis
buntong-hininga
lahat ay pauli-ulit.
Kaya siya’y hihimlay muli
sa likod ng asul na kabundukan
at sa kalangita’y ipipinta
ang pulang anino
nagbabasakali sa paggising niya’y
may pagbabago.
