- 20 THE AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE JOURNAL July, 29 Three More Poems by Gilbert S. Perez Jane Jeanne was the flickering, friendly flame Of a candle light That soothed me and crooned me to sleep in The evening shadows; But Jane is the cold and pitiless Incandescent glare That murders the shadows and tears down My castle of dreams. Bacoor The bamboos sway In the light gray mist Of an early May Typhoon; They creak and they moan As they lean Over the lichen covered Stones Of the crumbling walls That cradle the dead In old Bacoor. And Old Mother Earth Swings her feathery Plumes As she croons Her endless lullaby Of eternal sleep; While under a dark Mimosa Three paces away From the wall, Are the graves of three Who knocked in vain At the heavily padlocked Gate. But what they did And how it was done Is a secret that few can tell; So they sleep—outside— And the wandering goats Graze over the grassy mounds. Two of the graves Are a meter apart, And the other Three meters away. Here lies the lover And beside him Eve, With Adam, outside Eden, Whose stubborn gates are closed. Or it is Menelaus, Paris, and Helen whom they loved. Roads of Old Bohol How glad I was To see once more The coral roads of old Bohol, The white paths by the sea Where, with that witless recklessness Of flaming youth, I threw away A year’s piece of my life; And further on a brief day’s crumb Of languorous existence Beside the bubbling sparkling Icy crystal pool Ten meters from The brackish sea Beyond the Lila fishtraps Beyond the Loay bridge. The coral roads of old Bohol Still wend their way Like gleaming marble rivulets Across the hills And over the cliffs And on to Anda pass. TOBACCO REVIEW Alhambra Cigar and CigaretU Manufacturing Cp.
