In this solitary side of twilight TO MY DISMAY i discover a tiny bead of tear trapped in the SADDEST corner of my EYE; i swear, THIS WASN'T THERE IN THE carefree years of my BOYhood nor in the exciting days of my YOUth; there isn't any reason for it to exist for it has never been a part of the crowdeD cubicle of LIFE; but obviously, the world rejoices TO SEE ME IN CONSTANT ANguish CRrying SHUddering irredeeMABLY in shame; people of my own fellowship and bloodline want me ripped apart by forces common to our heritage; now they are even invading the last frontier of my privacy, MY IMAGINATION which is my sacred refuge fROM THE WICKEDNESS of today's EMbrace. as i intentently stare at the MIRROR, not a visible trace of tear is left clinging to my conscience I REALIZE now that i have always been crying tearlessly from the moment i first opened my EYES.

Thanks for sharing Mr. Clemencio's biography. I can say that he is a good poet. I am also a writer. I write because it is my passion. I know it is also his passion. He must keep that fire burning for the rest of his life.
