Best Dama Poems
Salamat po, Ka Eduardo,
Sa inyo pong pagmamahal;
Inaakay n’yo ang tao
Patungo sa bayang banal.
Kahit mapagod, mapuyat
Ay hindi n’yo alintana;
Ang mahalaga'y matupad
Ang tungkulin n’yo sa Ama.
Ang Iglesia’y tinitipon
Sa lahat halos ng dako;
Panganib ay sinusuong,
Iniikot itong mundo.
Dama ng mga pinili
Ang inyo pong pagsasakit;
Kami‘y hindi masasawi,
Kaligtasa’y makakamit.
Walang iba pang hangarin
Kundi para sa Iglesia;
Nagtagumpay ang mithiin
Sa inyo pong pangunguna.
Sa inyong pangangasiwa,
Puso po ang nangungusap;
Kami ay di nagsasawa,
Pagsamba ay laging hanap.
Pasasakop kaming lubos
Sa Lider Pangkalahatan;
Kami na mga tinubos,
Pagsunod ay di iiwan.
Tutuparin ang tungkulin,
Totoo hanggang sa wakas;
Tatapusin ang takbuhin,
Pag-asa namin ay wagas.
Kayo po ay aming mahal,
Habang kami’y may hininga;
Ang inyo pong pangangaral
Sa amin ay mahalaga.
Dalangin namin sa Diyos,
Patnubayan kayong lagi;
Sa biyaya ay mapuspos,
Kalusuga’y manatili.
Ang Diyos ay pinupuri,
Kami’y Iglesia Ni Cristo;
At nagagalak po kami,
Salamat po, Ka Eduardo.
Del asiento se miraban;
Ella, con su abanico
Hacia Él comunicaba:
"Serás mi caballerito..."
Se entralazan y caminan;
El "paseo" finaliza,
De frente ambos saludan,
Reverencias realizan...
Ya comenzará el baile;
Él le toma la cintura,
La dama toma la mano;
Danzan al son de cultura...
Se mueven libres "al compás",
Dan vueltas por el teatro...
Se finaliza la danza
Y juntos van al asiento.

Who the hell rings bells anymore
whether in a Capitalist society, a Theocracy, an Oligarchy,
or a Dictatorship
the DING has sure been taken out of the
rama dama ding dong
No ones home, the juries out
G-d is dead?
Shell, Chevron and Texaco
have reduced the life expectancy of people in the Niger delta
to 50 years ......
The Oil companies are fracking the hell
out of the water table ....from here to Canada and back
and guess what..then they can up the price of
BOTH oil and FRESH? water??
Who are the bell ringers [Ask Jessica Ernst how the water is in her well?]
Where are the bell ringers [hmmm, Canada?]
[Strangled in the nooses of corrupt governments]
DO say! Do doubt! Do think....
Take a whistle blower home for dinner!
Blinded by the stars [lulled into limbo by Flamingo dancers]
living vicariously ..voyeurs
peeping through the key holes of ****-holes
Pull yourselves UP..OUT, declare COMMIT
re-remember what it means
to have YOUR WORD mean something
re-remember what it means to be a friend.
Free yourself, for no one else will.
Fallacies RING true to the disempowered
there DONGs removed, their clappers plucked
Sex, drugs and Rock and Roll was the mantra
of MY age, and HELL NO I WON'T GO
our calling card.
*Thank you to my muse and friend Rueben O.
for inciting this ancient ding-dong :)
Please read his excellent write [Didn't Don't]
Aun asi valio la pena hacer lo necesario para estar contigo
en hora buena valio la pena llegar hacer mas que tu amigo
quizas el final fue fatal casi terminaba ahogado en un canal
pero no cambiaria todas esas noches cuando comia de tu panal
aun con el corarazon destrozado supe darme cuenta de una cosa
que valio la pena compartir de mi vida con alguien tan hermosa
mi dulce sentimiento de nada me arrepiento mujer
y si estuviera un poco loco quizas hasta lo volviera hacer
pero mami pa' tras ni pa' cojer impulso
en cuestiones del amor me he puesto caperuzo
no soy adivino pero supe darme cuenta que tu corazon no dispuso
quizas no fuiste la muñeca que esperaba pero no te acuso
en hora buena porque valio la pena sumerguirme en ti como buzo
dicen que despues de la tormenta siempre llega la calma
es una tristeza que esta vez sea en otra cama con otra dama
pero aun asi fuiste una bendecion mi nena
porque valio la pena todas esas noches de pasion sobre la arena
porque valio la pena.......ya sabes quien tu eres!
Pa todas las mujeres!
Down from the lofty tower of love.
Again I recall the times we together cherished,
Many times we risked storms of discord
And now all the steam has finally perished.
dama de noche
fragrant blossom of midnight
there, though out of sight !
PEACE! PEACE! PEACE!
Painted on murals,
Vandalized on walls,
Written on daily newspapers,
everybody yearned about it,
Yet everybody resorted into violence to attain it.
From the very first kiss of the morning dew,
Nothing could be heard on radios,
But wars from Jerusalem to kabul,
Till midnight when the nectar of the Dama De Noches flowed through the petals,
Nothing could be seen on televisions,
But mutilated cadavers from Damascus to the streets of Zamboanga City,
And everybody sought for PEACE through all ages.
If am dead and gone,
It would be sweeter to be buried before darkness,
Beneath the blooming flowers of yellow roses,
Where the scent of them would hug my corpse,
When the windy afternoon comes,
Their petals would perfume my decaying flesh.
Under the falling rain,
When my soul crosses the river styx into the other world,
Where the angel of death's guitar strums flow underneath
The rainbow bridge of soft pillows,
perhaps I could find peace across the river
Dark
lady-
feminine
beauty,coupled with
strength

MIDNIGHT BLOOM
dama de noche
midnight blossom of midnight
there though out of sight
YELLOW SHADOW
full moon half yellow
lake laps secret shores shallow
feathery shadow
DAWNBREAK
gray fog moist on hills
rooster flapping wings crowing
dewy dawn breaking
Down from the lofty tower of love.
Again I recall the times we together cherished,
Many times we risked storms of discord
And now all the steam has finally perished.
Son las 4 de la manana y no puedo dormir
pensando en ti y en todo lo que a de venir
veo como el dolor enunde toda tu alma
y me duelo porque no encuentro calma
eres mi dama y todo lo demas no importa
solo quiero amarte el resto de mi vida corta
perdoname si te he fallado de palabra
o si he hecho algo que solo te causo drama
tu bien sabes que no es facil para mi
decirte que te amo y luego verte ir
te vas y entre sus brazos duermes
ya ni lo amas pero en dejarlo no te atreves
mientras tanto seguire con mis pasiones
en este triangulo amoroso de ladrones
pues me has robado el corazon entero
y en las noches eres de el por certero.
que puedo decirle al corazon ya no la ames
seria como decirle al ciervo ya no brames.
La tinta de mi pluma se agotado
La inspiracion de mi se a escapado
No se si podre otro poema escribir
Naufragando en el dolor de mi existir
Ni escribiendo usando mi propia sangre
Cambiaria todas mis nubladas tardes
Como un juvenil me enamore de ella
Un bohemio poetico y ella mi doncella
Sin imaginarme que todo terminaria
ya ni siquiera quieres ser mi amiga
Pues una promesa le hiciste a el
Aquel quien en las noches toca tu piel
El mismo a quien no amas
Pues no sabe tratarte como una dama
cuando estas con el sufres por dentro
sin ti a mi lado nada se siente completo
Solo me queda decirte adios amor
Sinceramente te deseo lo mejor.
What is the true meaning of Yoga?
The understanding of Yoga as a physical and mental practice is widely observed by people all over the world. There are training schemes and centers for the ones who think Yoga is a solution to keep themselves healthy and fit. The asanas, the yogic positions, and formations to train the physique exist. Although, it is only but a branch of the actual lifestyle of a Yogi. Being ignorant about life’s deeper meaning and is the root of such misconception.
If only we chose to ask the right questions to find the true meaning of life, we could truly understand Yoga. Any human being can be in Yoga. All they have to do is to disconnect from the world, bhoga, and connect with the Divine Energy. Through Bhakti Yoga, Karma Yoga, Gyaana Yoga, and Dhyaana Yoga, one can realize the Truth. We are not this body that we seem to be in. We are not the mind and ego. We are the Divine Soul in reality. The World is a cosmic illusion. The union with the Divine is priceless. And Yoga, is the only path, the path to life’s ultimate goal, liberation. It is a permanent state of bliss and peace. Through meditation, taking control of the mind, body, and ego is critical in achieving everlasting bliss.
In order to douse the flames of passion, one must practice the discipline of body and mind. The sages called this Sama, Dama, Uparati, Titiksha, Shraddha, and Samadhana. We, humans, are said to be like a chariot with 5 horses. The 5 horses are the 5 senses that we are blessed with. We the Divine Soul, are the charioteer. To Discipline our life, we must take charge of the 5 senses by controlling the mind. Such discipline of the mind and body is called Sadhana. Once we gain such forbearance, faith, and fortitude, we must then develop the Desire for the Divine and Liberation. This is what the sages called Mumukshutva. If we are fortunate to become Mumukshus, then our desire for the Divine and Liberation, the realization will set us free in the path of True Yoga.
“I too thought Yoga was exercise,
Stretching my arms and thighs.
Till I realized, it was Union with God,
That Liberates us and unites us with the Lord.”
-AiR
