menabung bulung ning napunbilak mikutkut king marimlang impun
balang bulung agtalan ne ning lumbe
kauma ning bulung king maung gabun sabe
ating musbung, kadalusdus ning lua ku
ating lalsut bayung tanaman... bayung aku!
ala kung sapat a amanu
para palambutan kekang pusu
sikan a lub ala ku naman
para maglubid kalaraman
e ku makalalang poesya kapilanman
nung nukarin ding sampaga mamukadkad la
atin ku mung dayat katmung mababo a kataya
sapat mu bang kanita isiwala
ing pekamalalam kung kapilubluban!
Bustan mung ume ku kambe daka
king pekamadulum nang karinan
ning kekang kakewan.
E ko buklat ding mata mu
para mu manakit kang gulisala .
E ku gawan, e ku agawa.
Dapat ipiyak kula naman ring mata ku
kanita kasangga dakang pibatan ing dalumdum!
* Linikas nang Peña ibat keng poesya na ning anak na sinulat ne ing keng lalam anyang 16 banwa ya.

reveries
reveries, fallen autumn leaves
at an icy beginning: open graves
every leaf of memory falls as i weep and
as soon as it touches the ground
my tears flow upon it, it blossoms
as a new tree... a new me blooms!
i don't have the words
to melt your heart
i don't have the guts
to tell you lies
i can never write you a poem
where flowers bloom
all i have is a sea of shallow words ,
enough to express
the deepest within me!
Let me go with you
into the darkest part
of your forest.
I won't say I'll open your eyes
for you to see a spark .
I can't do it.
Instead, let me close my eyes
and together we will endure the darkness.
