Sa Panaginip

para kay Toffee

(LARAWAN | MAICO PEREIRA)

Nais kong maging panaginip
nang hanggang sa iyong pag-idlip
ako’y iyong mimithiin

Sagabal ang gising
ang gaslaw ng diwa
Sa mundo ng pagtulog
lahat ay malaya

Sa ilalim ng mga talukap
malayo sa ligalig ng daigdig
Hahagkan kita, irog
pupunuin ng pag-ibig

Ngunit lahat ng ito’y
pawang panaginip lang
Nawa’y mangarap nang gising
at ang tinig ay pumailanglang
