Smiles

One day, I was walking down

The stairs with my heart in a crown

With every steps

Stables my lips

Nodding at every opportunity

To greet people of oddity

Reaching the exit with squinted eyes

Batting the fresh sun rays

I feel the tightness on my checks

Like a dried lick

Mouth stretching wide

Dimples shouting at the side

I walk head up, chest out

Shoulders swaying like a clout

Out from the building

Proud of myself communicating

With people who smile back

Without hesitation that mock

Forgiveness

You have all the cards now,
I know you plan to play for tomorrow.
You shield yourself from discomfort --
Near selfishness, without rapport.
My approach was strong,
Not necessarily to wrong.
I’m sick of faltering;
Im sick of waiting.
Let’stop this fight
‘coz I can see the light.
I will give you all the comfort
As you most like, full support.
I will give you all my cards.
Share me none of your brand.
Have all of your prize
Out of my paradise.

STALKING

You are cute like a dog

To see posted on a blog

To pet like a mate

If only it will not bite

Your stuffed like a teddy bear

Your stomach full of beer

My hands won’t reach around

To wrestle to the ground

Your look is sharper

Than a nervous tiger

Tempting me to reach out

Thinking it’s a cat bout

Snaking along the corridors

Avoiding all the doors

Swift and ready to brake

Slippery and wet that strike

Such a dog hugger

An attacker of bears

Who can tackle a tiger

Such a way to snake a lover

MIST

It’s late in the afternoon

And the night is seeping in.

Dark clouds have hovered

Around the mountain gourd.

Like it was deliberately washed

By a black ink, blindly.

Against the sky so blue

And the bright bayou.

The landslide at the center

Isn’t that dangerous anymore.

A clamp of trees on the right,

Detailed by white paint,

Showing its branches and trunks.

I could say I might have seen a skunk.

At the left is a bush of trees

Mist flew up like it is alive and free.

TRUDGING

Walking from day to day

Courting my feet like a lady.

We challenged our sorrow

For another bleak tomorrow.

Like floating in the ocean

Accompanied by no one.

Steering to a point, nowhere;

On hand is a dream -- bare.

Walking with head high,

Inside, shouts exhaustion and sigh.

We walk among the masses

And mirror each cases.

Like we missed out on something

That should engross our liking.

Steering to a gentle way,

We try to evade our doomsday.

RUSH

Stretching, spreading my hands to the sides

Tilting my head to the heavens, asking for guide

Regulating my breath against the strong wind

That threatens my lungs to expand

The iron bar that I stand cannot conceal its excitement

My body in numbness move forward, drops, silent

The rushing waters caught my head

Pricking me with frozen needles

That move to scalp to sole as it spindles

Born This Way

 

   When you meet a blind child you'll
     Send them to school.
     Send those children to play
     Even handicapped, in any way.
     Feed those hard working children
     Just to rest the pain.
     Give what you have,
     All the way they came.
     Work like a boss
     For the community at loss.
     Our family work for people
     Not for money in pool.

Latawan Dadama

We could have been out hunting,
Instead you went with your dog.
We would go out ball playing,
Running around like a douche bag.
I would be there with you sitting
For i don't want to run around
We would walk with hands, holding,
In Baguio City, we did.
I can always buy bread at those stores,
We went far like kilometers.
To eat baked breads,
Made of day-old breads.
You might not agree on things I come up with,
But the first one to laugh at my antics.

The Other Man

The man besde you whose stare,
Lay you both undoubtedly bare.
His hands touching yours,
Easing out twitch of labors.
At the middle of the crowd
Handing food proud.
Those delectable smiles
Swoon the crowds pleasures.
His sculptured body
Complements your beauty.
Tosing as the luckiest lady,
It's like your wedding day.
I stood among the crowd,
My throat are bound.
My eyes are vigilant,
They can see through a plant.
The cord of my temper,
Had risen like a bear.
Ready to lambast and strike,
But that's not what you would like.
Cleaning dishes,
Are not my wishes.
You poke me hard
And laugh it loud.
Befriending an ex
In merriment without sex
Should not bother me you say,
His out of our way.
I am a man that trust,
Who heed what you must.
Look out for the people
At the side of your eye;
Craving for your sight
Are your children and I.
