sleep now my love
leave your worries behind
free your mind of doubts
for tomorrow is a new day
at times graces don’t come in droves
in any form opportunity comes
just in case chances won’t show up
and remain elusive for you to catch
don’t fall into tears and be hopeless
you can tie up the wind and lash the storm
have a good sleep tonight
and i’ll deliver your dream …

left without a downpour of rain
flew away, far enough my eyes could stare
chased the wind’s course, here and there
like a feather drifted and floated everywhere
flew low on November sky
away just a little nearby
gray as ash wider than a mile
I ran, the hill became an isle
the bright sky, I love the sight
let my hopes and wishes be magnified
into the heavens I wrapped-up this plea
be kinder to us, let nature be…

unexperienced one
complexity of life is still unknown
its unpleasantness under the sun
a child always love to play
though he lacks knowledge about some things
and his ignorance about the world
a candy is happiness to him
under the rain it brings smile on his face
this simple joy fills his emptiness
happiness so simple the child owns
adulthood may claim his stage of innocence
little by little he’ll know the unknowns
a chance to build a life stronger in defense…

finding himself with eyes pleading
lying everywhere with no place to go
on pavements cold as the morning snow
resting his soul living with sad memories aglow
different colors walking through him
slippers and shoes made no difference
he watched them move inside of him
no one felt what his hands were begging
he prayed hard that compassion would grow wings
to fly over and shower him not with earthly things
but LOVE is all he needs and everything will follow
to a soul like him a little kindness people will bestow
you don’t see it but he has his thoughts running
if you could hear his heart and read his mind, saying
“my brain has too many tabs open” swarming his mind
could somebody close one tab by being kind?
too many questions seeking too many answers
without shelter, it’s a survival to the fittest
how is he going to pass the days in serious hunger
the beggar, a part of society’s essential fiber.

i’m too shy to say
even putting it in writing
i can’t directly put into words
dissenting feelings not to hurt
i can’t bring out the No
to a modest and demure loner
if what i hear are words so mellow
maybe the no won’t be at the corner
“i can’t go with you now”
really it’s too hard to say
i just can’t say how
an alibi can go astray
______________
May be you’ll wonder why the sky is starless tonight…
1
the stars seem to be hiding
from my lonely sight tonight
somebody must have hid them
from me to twinkle bright
2
or somebody covered my eyes
with clouds so thick so wide
or is it the forthcoming storm
with thunder rolling to form
3
or somebody gathered them, put them in a box
intentionally stored them, put them in stacks
or the Lord did not hang them tonight
so people can see how’s our world without Light
4
but the Lord is unforgetful
for the things He had given
He has a purpose for all His actions
to show to people directions
5
He has the power to take them back
He’ll gather to safety all His flock
and to give what to whom
just like the stars He had broomed

“If you want to experience a forest, mingle among its trees,” writes Michael Wojtech.
Trees have their protective outer covering in their trunks and branches that are colored gray and brown. There are variations in their colors and textures, if you examine it closely.
In the picture, you can see that their skin are carved by sharp objects by tourists who visited Nogas island in the province of Antique, Western Visayas, Philippines. Aren’t the tourists hurting the trees in such a way that they are piercing the tree barks. Leaving their names on trees won’t make them famous.

i took a unsuspecting glance at her
as i stood facing the wall
deep-seated dimple adorned her face
now sunken as a smile gave the embrace
she looked like Francesca
woman of conviction, woman of courage
a look-alike of a woman i’ve known
a lovely loving mother on the canvas

sometimes the thought of nothing creeps secretly
when nobody feels the presence
when nobody takes you
as who you are
many times your shadow entertains
can’t ignore your own being
standing and surviving, you pretend
in defiance of negativities
the mind refuses sculptures of clay
fighting an uphill battle processing a nay
building social connection you’ll not lose
empathy is… walking in each other’s shoes

I find this statue very unusual in its form. I thought this was a mermaid, but looking at how the bend at the stomach makes her more of a snake than a mermaid. Her odd and very strange figure is likely that of a carnivorous reptile. Do you agree with me ?
You can find this incredible “being” inside the premises of Dawal beach resort in Zambales, Philippines.

the course seems to be so strange
stretched far as the eyes could see
lines full of spiny little thorns
tracing life’s untold painful byways
honeyed path, their moments are sweet
unmindful of those pauperized ones they see on the street
desirous hands ignored not one gold they’ve shared
pretty face, unkind heart,
familiar but not a godly
sketch of a human being…

I see the unending horizon from afar
I feel the loneliness that’s far beyond
I don’t know the reason alienating the star
Why is it from me, you’re so very far ?
A line that divides the ocean from the sky
As I get closer, it runs away from my eyes
The nearer I get, the farther the horizon
When do I get warm to your distant emotion ?
I can only see the stars at night
The day seems so envious they’re out of sight
When skies are clear, you choose night to appear
Then you yourself begin falling like a tear
There’s no losing chance for a heart that waits
Time will tell when to open the gates
The far horizon and the stars at night
Into my heart they will all be tied…

lessons were learned from those times gone by

there’s music i hear
don’t know where it’s coming from
my hands are tapping the board
look, what have I done
my lips are murmuring
head moving, up, down, left, and right
feet moves forward, backward, and sideward
but i’m not a dance wizard
lay me in a spell
unchain me from the shackles of doubts
free me from mental pressure
lend me a soft closure
chances share me the joy to sing
and for a moment i feel free
like a tree i hide under its shade
where my anguish, hurts and gripes fade…

beating the clock will not be easy
for the day to come

I remember how it was
waiting for you at any instance
it was always like
a discomfort for me
awaiting cure
waiting for you at any place
was like hell of a trouble
waiting to be solved
you took so long to pop up
at the agreed time and place
i was always the first to be there
but when your smile breezed in
i was always in heaven
when you hold my hands
and heard you spoke, “Let’s go now”

when your voice speaks from nowhere
it echoes in my mind from somewhere
often i hear it so gentle and meek
your soft voice is the tone i always seek
when your heart and mine beat as one
exploding like the sound of a gun
i knew your mind was speaking to me
so i gave myself so easily
but one day my tears were unnoticed
on my pillow i cried the loudest
with my pillow i embraced the tightest
’cause i considered you my best
why did you give me this freedom
i didn’t ask for independence
felt your worth since the welcome
need nothing so far the distance
but you confessed there’s another love
you played it so well thru the years
leaving me here inside of me
you will always be the echo in my ears…

another spot of gift
exchanged greetings …
no one had stayed long enough to endure
the discomfort and injuries of anyone’s feet

cool and lovely white sands to wade
glisten in the shallows of the distance
hidden under the nippy calm waters

dive into the waters of the murky sky
gather the stars from the bottom of the ocean floor
empty the rivers to run dry
color in oil the flowers drawn in fashion
dream all the nightmares of the night
scatter the scenes in your slumberous sleep
be the knight hero as you snooze back into a trance
at peace with yourself as the soul rests to retire
scribble all the letters in the milky way
far apart they float in senseless drafts of ghosts
clothed in white as you near the gates of the graves
open wide your eyes as you comb your curly ash blond hair…

when all the morning dewdrops become my pool to bathe

or continue my sleep ’till i find the beginnings

they float everywhere and go un-destined
if all of it goes a-missing
where would i be find a-living
take me by the hand let’s share the world
we only see a single sun
we only have one place to run
there’s only one Heaven when all is done…

this is the night time
the almost stoical philosophy
fascinating the hours
of the early dawn
the silent moment
where shadows sometimes hide
in the deepest silence
in the corners of every dream
clouds and smoke billow from the chimney
where yesterday’s bit of fantasy
become a yarn of romance
worn by bodies in love…

i tried to collect some words
i haven’t expressed for months
the attempt was not easy
after the second dose was given
a fresh start for me
as some rusts were beginning to show
the mind that was sharp then
has grown flat, dull and blunt
felt a little sorry for myself
’cause i struggled the change and contrast
but i have strove for more
to do better than my last…

I’m really sorry I haven’t written any piece for the past weeks.
Last August 04, 2021, I was vaccinated with Sinovac. It was smooth until the second dose on September 01, 2021 was injected on me. Four days later, I got a fever, cough, I lost my sense of smell, appetite. We panicked. “Now, you have Covid19 .” We contacted our family doctor. The message was clear not to be alarmed . My family started sending me foods of my consumption. We were told those symptoms were just side effects of the vaccine.
Two weeks later, I have recovered. Thank you for the prayers.
Thank you so much for staying there with me. Thank you my dear readers ! I Love You !

should i start to write
without a pen in my hand
should i speak the words
about love that’s grand
it isn’t simple to start
a story that has slipped away
i nearly forgot it all
the love i once had before
it was in my blooming youth
when everything was fun
salad days were oozingly smooth
after class was the solid truth
we’ve set our times to meet
an hour there on the busy street
together our eyes would translate
we were seated on a late lunch date
and togetherness wasn’t enough
we let our decision to be so tough
a room we paid was a mistake
a miracle of love was passionately made
episodes of chances burned our desires
emitting smoke that sent signals of fire
but we’re strong to carry on the fight
’till we have children to see our nights
now messing around with our lovely grand kids
still riding the waves of joy waiting to recede
love has been kind and fair to us
as we become the grand old Adam and Eve..

it’s almost night
though the sun is high
a plethora of dark clouds
seems too fast to multiply
rumblings in the somber sky
like bowling balls in rapid roll
on a wooden lane lucky to strike
all ten pins with all your might
then the sky put on the weeps
letting go all the tears it could keep
into rivers and streams catching the loose
plants and trees enjoy ringing the blues…

Tried so hard to find the words
to fit in the line of what i thought
it tired my eyes bearing the huge efforts
so you could feel the struggle of what i sought
Stories in my mind i let them go
strewn into paper i laid them down
to grow a plot and let it flow
how rainbow colors became a crown
Poets of the old had their thoughts free
the younger minds write so differently
old and young talents sometimes agree
identical scenes are acted unusually
There are times some had it wrong
when thoughts are similar they feel it’s cloned
birth of mistrust they chose to defame
Envy is the name of the game …

Too many stars glitter up in the sky
i don’t know which of them watch me by
too many reasons came to my surprise
which is the answer to my question why
The moon is up and tomorrow it’s gone
it’s in the horizon, next day, the twilight sun
in the night, it’s back over my head
not shining in full, only half instead
It snows in the mountains, hills, and plains
sand dunes in the desert, not visited by rain
in the tropics, the seasons are wet and dry
i’m puzzled, do they have the same sky?
I really wonder, why we have an earth
so many people die, so many giving birth
traditions, colors, and beliefs unfamiliar
please explain, my stars, why there are wars
I have to say, “Goodnight, Stars of the Night”
i need to sleep, tell the world not to fight
hoping that in my gentle and placid retire
tomorrow is a reality of a story justified…
