Should I…

today, i woke up with some thoughts
should i write or just forgo the day
noises i heard of today’s punches
are lifting me up from the bed
intensity of spirit is driving me out
away from the usual me

i saw a caravan of weakened souls
heading to a point unknown
with open hands raised to the heavens
their faces looked tired and blown

from my window i heard the blubbering
shouts of anger i could hardly understand
an inspiration, a subject, should they be?
paper and pen… an echo, be the draft’s body ?

Silver Lining

beclouded line of the far horizon
dark overcast dimmed the day
tried to catch the remaining light
and keep it in his memory

hard up as he was born
just a decent life, didn’t wish for more
unexpectedly the spirit would be torn
tears have fallen scattered on the floor

pathways have crossed the jungles deep
didn’t mind if he was dreaming while asleep
twilight took him to the deep of night
dawn had him leading an herd of sheep

sometime, he felt dumb that he would say
his life was a waste of time to play
in the sky, dark clouds dominate
rained his life with so much weight

he tried hard to be aware
fixing all those past mistakes
learned that behind those dark clouds
HOPE is the silver lining he had found…

Surrender…

a chair facing the lonesomeness of somewhere
seats a man with thoughts of stares
every direction his mind wanders
seeking peaceful equilibrium
with his spirit’s sentiments


streams of kneaded past tableaus
runs around his grayed memory lane
turning shifts of melancholy listlessness
freeing,
hidden concern of
not caring anymore in anything
manifests his being at the edge of time,
the total surrender of his existence

AMORE MIO…

You are the alcohol
that drives me tipsy as
the spirit of every wine

the caffeine
that stimulates
the brain and mood of every dine

the capsaicin
that makes
the mouth hot with fire

and you’re the water
that melts from ice cooling my throat
in every amount i swallowed

without you
how can i enjoy life
getting a charge out of loneliness

how can i savor the sweetness
of getting high on collecting
memorable good experiences

how can i revel inside me
without adoring and loving you
you are my weakness, “Amore Mio”

in the shallow lake you thrive
with colorful and delicate petals
marvelously you rise up to inspire
in sparkling hues of pink ruby and sapphire

for poets you’re a seductive metaphor
in the thick of mud surviving in dreams
beautiful as you are derived
from the ancient Greek myths of nymphs

legions of races love your glow
an attraction in the water kingdom
a mythical nymph in the creek or pond
you’re a spirit living the life beyond…

My Miracle

Frightened by the outburst of storm
all of me became damp soaked with guilt
can’t fly with feathers wet with sins
I beg the sun to dry me not to wilt

Felt the mood of my spirit being sold
to the devil in exchange of a crate of gold
emptiness seized me and gave a rousing roar
embraced me closer to knock at Satan’s door

believe me, my life is in shambles
tears are washing away erected holy temples
my heart’s in pain going around in circles
take my hand, i badly need a miracle

in the worst of times i could only cry
helpless to be me i could only die
but thunder became so quiet like the moon
wounded heart played tough
and it’s a miracle too soon…

Phantasm

_______________


sometimes i walk
without my shadow following
with closed eyes
my spirit is on call wandering
in the black of time
it glides over the sea
not mindful of its mercurial height
until the zigzagging drop
became the close-mouthed dawn

awake

my spirit is awake
finding ways of shaping things
building scenarios
out of a pyramid of words

the sun may be hours away
and a tinged of preparedness
drops the immaturity of ripeness
of doing things right….

Rain

rain falls with some might
and fills the emptiness
of myself

my spirit rise
the mood of your embrace
warms me more

let it rain, let it rain
’till the clouds display the sun
as we start up the fire

i lend you my breath
to thaw your chilling lips
and let warm kisses rain

i’ll be the canopy
keeping you dry from rain
drops from heaven leave no pain
it’s yours and mine for us to gain

Castle…

take your wings and fly
to the summit of a cloudy sky
lift your spirit and together you must try
the showers will hide an imminent cry
take your words in flight
when your dreams deny
when the limits of asking is too high
then realization will bring light
it’s time for a change
pick the perfect shade of rays
not the overcast or somber
the one just suited for your sight
not the one that’s very bright
for your dreams will go blind
build your castle on the ground
you can never build it in the air…
