early days ***** SEPTEMBER POEM
My hand is running as magic pen
when i write, September Poem
my heart is beating like a lyre
when I read each poem's line
The grasses are growing green
when I write, September Poem
hymn of birds singing with glee
Humming the written verse at tree
The soothing wind is coming from plain
when I write, September Poem
It blows softly 'round my ears
gives colors of the days

society ***** PAYATAS DUMPSITE OVERNIGHT
(a year after the mournful tragedy)
Down
On your man-made mountain
Frighten
Of another collapse
Of another tragedy
Deprives the innocent
The poor the majority
The hunger
I am blank
As I throw sympathy to all night scavengers
Digging for endless survival
Your smoke your artificial breath
I smell too

wisdom ***** START WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED
Don't blame your
parents poverty
for not inheriting you
wealth from birth
Don't finger point
randomly anybody
nor compare with
other achievements
and implies narrowly
if you are like this
you become like that
Don't question
the magnificent hand
of your Creator
for your totality
of your being you

Keep Your Plan Within Yourself
Tip from Prof. F. Mina, my masteral mentor UM, whose wisdom inspired many of us
If you have plan
keep it within yourself
otherwise
negative intruders steal
your dreams
If you have goal
set it within yourself
otherwise
evil corrupts
with itsnarrowminded tilt
Goals and plans
need not to be bragged

inspired By Journey: Open Arms
for the Filipino vocalist Arnel Penida
I can do nothing
but sing about it
and so am I relieved
from the pain
It is the Journey music
caressing my burdened shoulders
as a heavy bomb
threatening my inner breathing lungs
Lying beside
the Journey's Open Arms
exiting now from the dark
Softly whispering
biting the tounge of happiness
as total inspiration
a soul-surrendering

tourism ***** FOGGY SHARP NOON
It is Baguio
And I am writing
Fog is falling
It befell us before and will again
White air lends its cold
Freezes the smoky balls from
Native bonfire down hills
It washes the pines
Whose pointed leaves lend
Music for the deaf
The noon gets more smoke
More cold now on my feet
Rays of the sun are tortured
Seem it refuses to shine forever
What a premature sunset occurs
Fog falls again
Like soft rain

humor ***** LOVERS MOON IN A PROHIBITED PARK
A tardy moon
rushing down the park
Pair of lovers
await
kissing among slight darkness
above the risks of grass bites
blushing out flesh to flesh
under late comer
moon lit
Lovers moon
Lovers moon
Quickly ascending now
the farther it goes up
the deeper..................
the lover's intimacy

biography ***** FEAR ME NOT, OH PLEASE, FEAR NOT ME
I am not the poem
you read in hunter's web
i am not the simile
you read in rhythmic melody
i am not the methapor
nor personification nor hyperbole
eventhough my tounge can speak
literary language's soul
and my mind can blink
mystery of endless imagination
still i am not what you are thinking
yes my hand writes
romantic tone
from veins run the
blood of pen
to spell in solemn way
I AM A POET

Wind In Mountain Dusk
It couldn't whistle
as nature's wind
whirling shadowed dust
for breathing and disappearing
It couldn't be
as proverbial evil wind
straying fickle-minded
faith believers
It couldn't hiss
the leaves of the pines;
pushing oceans waves
into storms
Confusing, now, but it's not
to chase the wind
in mountain dusk
here in biographical track
transforming wind into dreams

history ***** SPARTANS
At your times
you were honored
among your gods
as greatest warriors
at all ancient centuries
you swept as sparrow winds
and ferocious as the holocaust fire
against the multitude
heartless foes
Bringing always the banner of glory
and that was all for the GREECE
Death were invisible
by yours
Now, you are numbered
among the legendary dusts
