Alicia Ynez
 


Alicia Ynez spent a lifetime held captive by unrelenting karmic decrees; be that as it may two things have remained for the most part of this life: her faith in God and her sense of humor, the former a spiritual grounding and the latter a continuing exercise in futility.

Of late, Alicia’s metamorphosis found Alice wandering still in the poet’s heartland stealthily working on prose and poetry with great audacity and moving on in the hope of giving due recognition to Filipino writers/poets/artists who have more right than she does to claim credit for Filipino ingenuity.

 

 
  I Would Like To Be Your Surrealist Poem
  Addressed to Paul Eluard’s LADY LOVE
  She is standing on my eyelids
And her hair is in my hair
She has the color of my eye
She has the body of my hand
In my shade she is engulfed
As a stone against the sky
She will never close her eyes
And she does not let me sleep
And her dreams in the bright day
Make the suns evaporate
And me laugh cry and laugh
Speak when I have nothing to say”
                                          -  - - - - Paul Eluard
  Cinderella’s glass slipper on your eyelids
My hair is your twilight I wear as halo
My eye tenderly mirrors your captive soul
My body supple and serene in your hand
I am your shade intermingling with your cloud
Crystal ivory in limitless azure
I keep watch over peripatetic dreams
With fleeting numberless and seasonless days
And we laugh cry and laugh cry and laugh some more
Play with words that flirt in our minds when lips kiss
How I so wish to be your surrealist poem
Incongruous expression from memory
Finger etching delicate lines in your brow
Neural metaphors leave nothing unsaid
