I know You desire to have my heart
I want You to have it too
But I do not know about how to start
My giving my heart to You

For love is confusing, and thoughts are weak
I hardly know anything
Of what must be done to the heart I...

The best way to capture a poet
You can place them in a cage of words
Within verse their emotions contained
Each beat of their heart steeped in the pain

You can place them in a cage of words
Still they will write their way to freedom
Each beat of their...

Oh well I got an angry email to begin my day
Because of my last post on the Jabidah thing yesterday
Galit sa akin but greeted me with Assalamu alaykum.
And kung personal Moro friends ko naman ito 
They know I don't criticize Moro leaders
I always leave that...

If I Could Capture Sunshine



If I could capture sunshine
I would plant it in my heart
and nourish it with gentle love and care.

I would let it grow forever
like a forest it would fill me
and devour all the darkness that lies there.

If I could capture sunshine
I would...

As I walked through
The wooden door
With a murmuring heart
The silence drove me crazy
As I took the long never
Ending breath
And stepped into the room
The face I saw
I rememberd then
Oh!
We meet again
A smile knocked
At my door
As I broke the silence
On the floor
And passing her by
Capturing the moment...

Equus Caballus
   Flying hooves cry for freedom
      Why are you pursued?

There is a singular moment when the 
Sunset is at its most brilliant….
Just before the color begins to fade,
Still lovely but past its prime.


A moment the wave is at its crest,
Just before it plunges into oblivion.
To capture the force of nature
repeated, but never exactly the...

In shredded attire
Bodies of flesh
Through the waterfall haze
In sweated fresh
 
In his arms captured
Her leg like a vine
Wrapped with intention
As he enters entwined
 
In standing pose
This pillar of man
Inner grows
Wanting runs
 
Tongues fencing
Adventurous hands
Waterfall spray
Mixing with glands
 
Grandiose groans
Echo this cave
Two statues in loved weld
In...

We all find ways
to cherish a moment,
the ones we wish
would last forever.

Some of us
snap photos.
A camera in our faces
every chance we can.
'For the memories' 
some will say,
as they lay out albums,
photo string lights,
and frames
that line 
every inch of wall,
and table
until it's a museum
in your house.

Others...

You captured my heart a world apart 
I must say with every new passing day
My thoughts in dismay
I want you here with me
That sets our spirits free
Why can't all those men just let you be

Dear our time is very near
I want to make all of...

Don't miss me for I'm never very far,
glimpsing your days from a secret star.
I'm among flowers that grow by your side,
resting on rainbows when hoping to hide.

As stars sparkle in the misty moonlight,
should a lone one capture a naive night,
or, if the summer breeze ruffles...

Lightning in a bottle 
That is my little firefly 
I gotcha right out of 
The summer night sky 

Gently captured now 
In an old glass canning jar 
You twinkle, twinkle, twinkle 
Just like a little star 

Riled up and startled 
With a tap... tap... tap
Awaken...

When love captures your soul
Putting everything on this amazing roll
Spirit unfolding right before your eye's
Your heart is pounding totally mesmerized
Seeing your life become synchronized 
With all that lives so deep inside

While we are learning to fly
Shooting our love across the sky
Spelling out all the answers...
