Kill ‘em

January 11, 2013September 27, 2026 | Don Normantico

Unleash the beast within!

Let their howls echo through the night!

Today, vengeance strikes hard

Today, dark justice is served!

Strike them down without mercy,

Crush all who stand in defense!

Leave no survivors in our wake

Teach them the meaning of terror!

Let them taste true fear!

Terrify them, break their spirits,

Devour their pride, and strip away their hope!

We march with lethal intent

Annihilate them all! Leave none standing!

Overthrow every foe in our path!

Today, victory belongs to us!

Raise the flag high!

Together, we claim the night!

Calling her

January 6, 2013September 27, 2026 | Don Normantico

She lies gently on my shoulder,

Playful and soft in her grace.

Her perfume dances in the quiet air,

Her hair cascading down her face.

I listen to her gentle breathing,

Sensing her skin pressed against my own,

Anchored by her warmth and weight.

Resting there, she looks like an angel;

I wish this stillness would never break.

Yet I freeze, afraid she might hear

My heartbeat softly whispering her name.

Like a fool

December 30, 2012September 27, 2026 | Don Normantico

Deceived by the beauty of innocence,

Yearning for your love,

Even as you betray his unconditional devotion.

He waits patiently with open arms.

Breaking down, he bears his disgrace,

Losing his mind throughout the process,

Wandering through space and time,

Far away, yet holding his ground.

He asks forgiveness for himself

Giving up is not an option, nor is defeat.

Pushed aside by the one he loved the most,

He cannot learn from his past mistakes.

Ironically, he insists on his feelings,

Like a fool who cannot understand his own fate.

In love again

December 30, 2012September 27, 2026 | Don Normantico

The sun sinks into the dark abyss

As a hollow night engulfs the world.

A bitter defeat, a quiet death

Like blood-red ink pouring onto the page.

Spilling bitter words from deep within,

Tracing scars across his broken heart.

Yet your light awakened new desires.

Dazzled by thoughts of you,

Caught entirely off guard by your smile,

He is terrified, yet helpless to stop.

Quite by accident, he has fallen in love again.

Tamang Panahon

December 2, 2012September 27, 2026 | Don Normantico

Pusong giniginaw, mali ang tinitibok,

Uhaw sa pag-ibig, ulilang lubos.

Nababaliw na isip, nagmamatigas

Batong lumalaban sa subok ng tadhana.

Siya’y nagtitiis habang nasasaktan,

Mga matang laging nakatingin sa kawalan.

Isang lalaking hinding-hindi ka pababayaan,

Naghihintay na mapansin ang nararamdaman.

Laging nariyan, handa’t naghihintay ng pagkakataon,

Siya’y nag-aabang ng kaniyang tamang panahon.

Tinatagong Lihim

December 2, 2012December 2, 2012 | Don Normantico

Meron akong tinatagong lihim
Hindi alam kung paano sasabihin
Daanin ko na lang sa pabirong paraan
Ang pagpaparamdam ng nararamdaman
Hindi alam kung anung gagawin
Natatakot na baka hindi mapansin
Itatago ba o ipaparating

Panitikan

November 11, 2012December 16, 2016 | Don Normantico

Isa puso ang bawat letra ng alpabeto
Tahakin ang landas ng isang manunulat
Wag titigil hangang hindi ka kuntento
Magsanay upang maging magaling na arkitekto
Wag mag da’dalawang isip gawin mo mismo
Lawakan ang ka-isipian gamitin ang natutunan
Maging mahusay na makata malupit sa literatura
Ilabas ang saloobin sa bawat tinta
Ipagyabang ang nilikha ng talino
Ipaglaban ang sining na nagawa mo
Mga sulat na hinulma ng karanasan
Pagyamanin ang sariling kaalaman
Igalang ang mga bihasa sa panitikan
