To my children Talk yourself happy in GodI feel a surge of happiness in me.
My mood today uplifted.
Because I chose to make God first-focus,
My mindset has already shifted.
Bursting with joy, happy as can be.
Because hope in my God blooms inside of me.
I feel the flaring of His joy,
Floodings my heart, body and soul.
His joy engulfs my human mind.
And it's completely taking...

DAILY GRATITUDE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
Today I’m grateful for unconditional love….
Love comes in many forms…
from uncommon to traditional
but perhaps the purest form of love
is the love completely unconditional.

A PERSON OF LETTERS
Hi mom! Hi Dad! I’m your baby…you just brought me into the world…
But as I learn to walk and talk and grow….
There is something that concerns me…something I’d like you to know.
I know you’re pretty busy falling in love with me
probably looking to each other and our family and friends for support
and since I’m already...

Where the humdrum ends
Where the humdrum ends
A morning waits when roosters crow in vain,
and stunned eyes are awed by the rising sun.
When nostrils savor the dewy terrain,
as ears tune in to magpies’ chirping fun.
Soon a dawn will bloom and change the asphalt
To hordes of marigolds across lush leas,
where squirrels scramble and leporids vault,
while laughter echoes under maple trees.
There...

Summer Blast 2025
The Philippine Arena wakes in grand array,
For Summer Blast dawns on the twenty-seventh day
Of April in twenty twenty-five's bright sphere,
A day of pure joy banishing all fear.
Beneath the vast dome where echoes reside,
A festival spirit begins to preside.
The air will be buzzing, a vibrant delight,
As music and laughter take glorious flight.
From morning's first glimmer to...

A Team Reunion in Our Minds
The van rolled in, a rugged sight,
Across the screen in fading light.
Four figures bold, a mismatched crew,
With skills unique and spirits true.
Hannibal Smith, the master mind,
A plan was hatched you'd surely find.
A cigar chewed, a knowing grin,
"I love it when a plan comes in!"
B.A. Baracus strong and gruff,
"I ain't gettin' on no plane, enough!"
His Mohawk...

Are you attracted to eleven or more?Should 21st Century poetry
For the new minds of a culturally bombarded generation
Be limited from 3 to 7 lines?
Before you answer
To me personally, even though to answer, makes my Heart aches
I like reading poetry built around subtlety
Concealed layers or secretive depths
Relatable interchangeable meanings
Powerful raw stuff that sometimes leaves your eyes wet
Unearthed within deciphering...

Why Didn't You StayFar from the sea
I'm trying to set myself free
Tears flowing like a river
I have no idea when will it be over
You left in March, now it's almost May
Still, I'm asking myself why didn't you stay?
I can feel the heaviness in me like rain
My heart is clearly in vain
My nights felt so empty, I always cry
The...

Plagued by Memories"You do not think!
You do not learn!
You only play
With fire & burn.
You will not speak.
You will not cry.
You simply wait
For me to die."
Well, it is I
Have held my tongue
For all this time.
Now you are gone.
Now I am done.
Well, it is you
Whose Memory
Lives on in me.
No - Not memory.
Yes - Misery!
I was never good with words.
I...

Freedom here nowThough caged in form
Hemmed in mind and senses five
Though caged in form
Remaining still, poised in life’s storm
We feel throb of magnetism rise
Bliss rapture imbibed in surprise
Though caged in form...

Overcoming the Storm OVERCOMING THE STORM
Into the storm I must venture, knowing that any attempt to flee only prolongs the ravages.
Like any storm, it is relentless and destructive, just as a well-organized group of savages.
It rips and tears at the flesh with sharp talons, trying to gouge deeper into the muscle.
Perceived as high and lofty, it disregards...

of the unmanifest

wherein poised thus

bliss teleports us

Habemus Novum PapamYes, indeed we have a new Pope.
I wonder, however, if we have a new hope.
As a matter of facts, we have two popes:
One is active and the other is passive,
Which means that one is inactive,
The latter was a hell of a man who shocked: folks,
Foes, rivals, parishioners and cardinals,
By resigning his post,
By becoming a different...

The WeddingThe day arrived
We had a ball
The love was shared
At Shrigley Hall
So plush and sweet
You both were scrummy
Scrubbed up so well
So proud was mummy
So now it's time
To be together
Through every storm
And sunny weather
We send you on
But are nearby
So keep in touch
Or else we'll cry
I drank too much
So signing off
With love and plus
It's time to scoff
You...
