300835Ang Buhok MoPascual de Leon

Ang buhok mo’y mahahabang ahas
Kung nakasalalay sa iyong balikat,
Mga ulang waring di lupa ang hanap
Kundi sampagitang humahalimuyak.

Sa itim ay gabing walang buwa’t tala,
Sa haba ay halos humalik sa lupa,
Sa lago’y halamang malago’t sariwa,
Sa sinsi’y masinsin at nakahahanga.

Naging katulad ka niyong Penelopeng
may timtimang pusong miminsang kumasi’t
Ang naging aliwa’y luha’t paghahabi.

Sa haba ng iyong buhok nakilala
Ang kadalisayan ng pagkadalaga
At ang kahabaan ng isang pag-asa.
