______________



when life becomes a roller coaster ride

it’s a learning experience you have to face

a friend or a foe against the challenge

it’s your choice to embrace or bypass

any growth that can boost your morale

A Princess or A Prince…

____________


i mused, i nibbled
the words you cracked then smiled

it tasted like wine
and it made me gone wild


sweeter than honey
you dished out Yes to me

kisses flew over
here, there and up the tree


sweat and energy
burning, making mem’ries

like a buzzing bee
building a family


never a moment
your eyes shed painful tears

your lips were silent
when love crept in your ears


we love the night scenes
caressing skin to skin

bodies merging genes
both of us sighed a win


one more life was made
a princess or a prince

I cry some tears sometimes…

________________

i see the greens outside my windows
the sleepy air has driven me to dream
i rest my thoughts only the time knows
the distance unknown how far i’ll swim
painful heart, i cry some tears sometimes
a few stories, i keep in my mind
lives differ like words at ends that rhyme
portrayal of dreams can’t be unwind
breath right, walk on through each cloudy night
brave the rains, tread the slippery trail
stories of grief no need to rewrite
fantasy from real, dreams do divide

Gold Dust

Tarlac, Philippines

______________


the view was clear
no debris, no litter, no trash
not a speck of dust


no deceit, no betrayal
just the true picture
the real score


by the naked eye
the normal beats of heart
unsuspicious mind


every inch of the mask
wrapping a clear image
losing its shine to dirt


full moon in the heavens
radiant with honest heart and clear conscience
bringing truth and light


if chances has slipped some deceptive lies
distorting the facet of truth
gold dusts must have been the price

The Scent (Father’s Perfume)

_____________


the flowers in the garden
i touched and admired
every blossom smelled like heaven
a beauty to desire

i sniffed all the blooms
to be praised or put to shame
no other but one
has stood out to fame

so i tried to remember
who wore the scent i liked best
it has come to my mind
father’s perfume bested the rest

Intimate acquaintance

_____________


roasting my mind
on a bed of assumption
rising from the sea of humanity
an expedition for an intimate
acquaintance with myself

i constantly hear the sounds
bringing the promises of truth
the waves that keep coming back
are left on the distant shore

conversations of the loose-lipped crowd
the walls have ears and stories can sprout
the things that dangled all around
peddlers of lies, empty thoughts abound

for a moment i gazed upon the sky
and saw these birds flapping their wings
i had hoped they will never forget
at times, birds of prey, always a sterling pet

This is N Seoul Tower in South Korea. It is also known as the Namsan Tower or Seoul Tower which holds transmission antennas of KBS, MBC, SBS TV, FM, PBC, TBS, CBS, and BBS FM.[8] It is South Korea’s first general radio wave tower.  It had its name changed to N Seoul Tower in 2005, with the “N” standing for ‘new’, ‘Namsan’, and ‘nature.’  There are four observation decks (the 4th observation deck, which is the revolving restaurant, rotates at a rate of one revolution every 48 minutes), as well as gift shops and two restaurants. Most of the city of Seoul can be seen from the top.

Toughness…

________________


sweat dripping on the thirsty ground
is water that came from humans
physical activity and temperatures around
yielded the physical toughness of man


everyone’s life has its ups and downs
managed our responses reacted to rebound
but each time we face our fears, worries and doubts
we find ourselves giving up then turn around


our ability to execute an action
at a level that’s always paired with caution
the unwavering will to ultimately win
is mental toughness, a skill, a discipline
