My 18th Leaf
Culled thee from waist height
Quaint ornamental
A type of hard grass
Some Japanese breed
Pretty “dwarf bamboo”
CapSU-Dumarao
Arancillo land
So their property
Their worker planted
It's a décor there
Third day January
Third day Twenty Twelve
Third Day of the Year
Of Water Dragon
About 4 PM
Eighth bundle of same plant
Row from TED Building
Along the path way
Side where there frat huts
Arrayed in neat line
First TED afternoon
Of this year to home
While alone walking
Under fine sunset
Bye bye for now TED!

When Napoleon declared the French parliament defunct,
representatives beat him up. A couple hundred miles away,
Beethoven scribbled over his own dedication to Napoleon,
whom he had supposed to be a champion of liberty.
As climbing the greasy pole goes,
this wasn't exactly polished.
He was roughed-up - by politicos!
Can't blame them: no-one likes being abolished
(for sure, not these ego-bloated shysters!)
What else? Oh, in a paroxysm of rage,
an eccentric Kapellmeister
gouged a hole in a music page.
For all his smiling talk of ease and glee
(tomorrow), his eloquent implorings,
this moment always comes.
The pipes get drowned by drums.
The sleek ship of self-regard, so sleazily,
drifts free of its decent moorings.
Eighteen years of love and light,
You've made our life so very bright.
From little steps to towering heights.
You soar so high with endless flights.
With so much love and endless grace,
You light the world and every place.
*****************
Happy birthday, my precious one!
A new chapter has just begun.
As you shine with hope and nerve,
Show the world what you deserve.

Happy 18th Birthday
Time to sail to horizons new
There's a world out there waiting
Just to be with you
Filled with miracles and wonder
Blessed with experiences for your soul
Let your being enjoy these moments
Until you return back home
Happy, happy birthday, Theo
May the world become your oyster
May those horizons bring you closer
To your ultimate, magical destiny

On this day in the year of 2017,
a very great and inspirational man was lost to many.
I regretfully never met the man,
but he has helped me in ways that no one can possibly imagine,
including, but not limited to, my life long struggle with depression.
If I had only one wish, it would be to personally thank him.
Rest Peacefully My Friend.

World is gypsy dot
Sickness present punishment
No healer is there
Medicines in naughty wombs
Savior on blessed secret pyres
Blind, deaf, dumb, lame gods
In empty buds of praying
Paths made of dead masks
Before the all gods deaths are
Legal sin's unholy child
For destined earth luck
Stories of lives bewildered
Termite fate world's blood
Water of pot the graveyard
Near of evening burning lamps
Naturally comes
Disasters of the tsunami
Now presaging
The unseen flood in world air
Bringing hell in hungriness
Now final signal
All in safe shelters to save
From mighty heinous
But food-less centers for lives
Painful more than epic deaths
Sun and moon
Preexistence of good lights
But covering by the earth
Preexistence of the dark
There's day, night
Lockdown Reign
By the govt to save all lives
But to implement the rules
Please perfectly ensure it-
'Door to door
Healthy foods and medicines
Delivery is precondition
Of Lockdown'

Colonies compressed
Tyranny their stress
Empires progress
Wealth by conquest
European dominance
Great Britain Spain France
Religion insurance
power the dance
Americas their settlement
unsettled through intent
Spain could not prevent
alike Britain lands went
French blockades and boats
aided break free hopes
As raids of history wrote
Tea they chucked from boats
Freedom justice for all
A land of all equal
This their global call
whilst slavery install
A land of dreams
and hopeful scenes
where slavery seems
to be unseen
Liberty for all came to be
this land sees all men equally
this land sees all men free
to black a land of slavery
At The Feeder, January 18th
The fresh dusting of snow this morning
is now a lacy network of sparrow tracks
overwritten by the single trail
of the marauding squirrel.
The feeder has been frozen
for two days,
and the only way to feed the birds
is to scatter seed on the snow.
The black squirrel,
shoulders hunched,
slowly moves across the snowy plain,
vacuuming up seed
as he goes.
His exhaled breath puffs the snow
as he creeps forward exposing more food.
The mourning doves sit watchfully
at a distance,
almost hypnotized by the action below,
timid, even amongst the sparrows.
The sparrows flit about
looking for an opportunity to land.
When one brave soul gets his feet on the ground,
he is joined by the rest of the flock
and the squirrel moves on
with a look that says,
“I was finished anyway.”
Romanticize a scene
it falls in endless dreams
begin and then you see
that what it is is all it will ever be
crimson petals in a vase
lace curtains rise, open windows
open eyes
kisses soft
whispers cannot compete
of how delicate a moment is with you
leaves drop onto the ground
cold cobblestones
dusk drops upon us
melting on our tongues such is Autumn
until the second we must part
I'll hold you tight here in the dark
K-ind and so considerate
A-s well as so humble;
Y-ou really touch our heart,
E-ven our mind and soul.
M-ay I offer you this greeting
A-nd simple thoughts of mine,
R-eminiscing the day you were born;
C-herish this very special moment
O-f celebrating the birth of yours,
S-ending the 18th key to a beautiful November morn.
You're 18 today!
That's really great
I'm really excited
I really can't wait
I'll see you tonight
We'll have lots of fun
You suck my willy
And I'll smack your bum
I'll then get a rope
And tie you up tight
I'll take down my trousers
And give you a fright
I'll strip off your clothes
I won't get it wrong
And then we'll have sex
(It shouldn't take long)
It's going to be fun
And it'll happen today
And (if I'm lucky)
I won't have to pay.
Late night, at 12 they all had come...
full of surprises, it was fun!!
My face was actully full of cake,
by that time I was totally awake!!
My 18th birthday party will be memorable in life,
distinguished by cutting two cakes with a knife.
With chips and cakes spread all over the party,
The only time when mommy smiled when the carpet became dirty...
I thanked all my loving friends,
who had come all the way from the other ends!
I hope God could just repeat this day,
This was my 18th birthday!!
T - Tacit, I remembered when she was innocent
E - Enjoyed playing with me, so dependent
R - Rare friend of mine, Tess, she's my best
E - Eighteen years of her life brought some to happiness
S - Stubborn sometime yet she's so fine
I - Intelligent they say so boys crawled to be on her way
T - Thin, curly, smartie, cutie and kind
A - All of these are characteristics of a friend I've found
H - Her presence I missed so much
A - As time passed, changes happened to both of us
G - Gosh, the juvenile best of friends turned into ladies
O - Open their minds to the reality that used to be their fantasies
S - Special girl of my life celebrates her special day of her life.
This was written by my beloved late father for my debut 20 January 1991
B e always good and true in your undertaking; be always
L ady like in every ways and manners wherever you maybe; resist all
O dds and adversities that you may encounter in this life's journey in
S eeking happiness and fulfillment for these are the very essence of life; our dear
S aviour JESUS CHRIST hath lovingly imparted to us his flock that we may
O vercome all temptations and pitfalls that abound in this wide cruel world; but
M ost of all, offer yourself and your works and whatever will become of you to Him, our
divine creator LORD GOD.
Lovingly your's,
TATAY
