nostalgia ***** ODE TO MIS. OCC. PHILS
From margin southern sea
rise calm waves in gentle free
with wind of love
from shore to Malindang above
Lend your ears
hear this ode
with rhythm songs to you my dear
blessed words our minds to cheer
My heart is fullfilled before i rest
as i share thoughtful poems for readers' wit
to love own town, respect all guests
with aid to harness intellect
My poems uttering in silence
undyingly wait in patience
to be shared and be published
despite of world material crisis

terrorism ***** SADDAM HUSSEIN IN NEW IRAQ
He was the dictator
in the old Iraq
the once fertile
the abandoned garden
of Eden rushed
It was always his
first word as the final and executory
handed down from
holocaust- master the
Austrian blood Hitler
in infamous Nazi era
and Saddam tragic death sentence
provoked his old Iraq was beaten
and democracy is running down
in new Iraq alas!
million patriots cheer!

Earth In Figurative Atmosphere
The earth is a poem
dust of word from soil
comma of rustling river
moving like sentences
over hills below grains
the earth is a poem
the endless way of invisible wind
like writer's ink
encircling spiral earth
narrates methaporical senses
the earth is a poem
beholding singular strength
a verb from greeney scene
all birds fly across simile lane
above appositive mountains
the earth is a poem
the haiku tune of nature's keen

Indian Is The Client's Race
1
I have a client (in massage)
Pana (indian) is his race
Studied ''daw'' in London
and talk with shaking face
His armpit like a camel
smell ''no washing'' feet
smell no washing feet
smell no washing feet

We have a client
Pana is their race
Having business now in Dubai
despite dirhamscrisis
they're going to establish
Like Philippine 5 - 6

sorrow ***** CEBU ISLAND AND OTHER SORROWS
Here where I built my name
My success my failure my pain
In an island where my dreams were built and perished
Pre-law studies public admin masteral
Collegiate debates amateur mountaineering
Freelance photography Christian brotherhood
Constitutional advocates neutral ideologist
impulsive emotions and human lust
Painful to look back
The idealism the struggle
The hunger and the lust
The lust that slaved my flesh
With horrible love
An erotic love
From suicidal woman’s heart

humor ***** ART OF WAR
The book, the Art of War by Sun Zsu, had inspired a lot with my aunt especially when she came acrossed the highlighted points of the book,
' ferocious as the fire, silent as the forest, immovable as the mountain, fast as the wind.'
She implanted those thoughts on her son for his everyday real battle in life but it went in different direction:
Fire: her son became a hot-tempered fellow
Forest: he loved messy things and untidy
Mountain: yes immovable as the laziest guy on earth
Wind: full of airy thoughts son and with empty head
My aunt was totally disappointed. She thought her son would be like Napoleon Bonaparte, Mao Zedung, Adolf Hitler and others who once treasured the book, the Art of War.

Lonesome passion (as inspired by my colleague Crisanto Mendoza Caguintuan, Dubai)
I am alone and lonely
but I am not lonely
of being alone
lonely in thinking of
lonesome memories
lonely
in thinking of that too much
idealism becomes you weak
and leads in the path of stupidity
beyond real schemes
verse makers are born beggars
golden verses uttered from their golden minds
are nothing but a poor supplement
for economic turmoil
therefore, what benefits to have
a brilliant minds
whose ideas is as wide as the open seas
