Best Holy Oil Poems

Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help,
as I lift my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

—Psalm 28:2 NIV

USHERED INTO THE MOST HOLY PLACE

Morning! Yawn! Stretch!
Arms rise, palms like cups
filled with holy oil.

Praise, thanks to almighty God,
no matter the circumstance.

Who has...

Rain Returns

Rain showering
Offering affluent tribulations
On the feet of barren tree
Blushing and springing life

Cajoling rain anoint
Holy oil on burnt out soul,
Caressing rain smear
Heavenly bliss on temples,
Murmuring rain
Horripilate espousing
Garden fresh love.

Rain grunts
Slashing violently
Deporting love to landslides
A henchman sleeps at the bell mouth.

Rain mourn
The untimely death
Of love and...

CHILDREN’S TOYS

do dolls have a soul?
glassy-eyed she stares at me

Dear Mr Corona

Allow me remind you how we were
Before you visited us here
I really have to let you know this!

We were happy and never this distressed
Our children sang because we were highly blest
Our hopes were devoid of your presence.

We were happy and never this defiled
Our...

In the beginning, there was salt. 

It hung in the air like unfinished scripture,
gathered in the throat of the sea,
waited for a mouth dumb enough
to mistake thirst for an invitation.

Then butter,
smeared on the void like gossip,
greased the dark’s knuckles 
like an understudy,
taught the abyss to...

Rat carrying cheese as holy oil
Lion sitting on a goat as sofa set
Hyena in the pulpit as day’s preacher
Eagle keeping penguins as security
Monkeys playing flutes as jesters
In church stair they do their things
In watchful eyes of heaven and earth...

We in are in a time of darkness,
A season of sorrow and regret.
Like a great fish caught in a current 
Rife with unexpected, opposing tides.
All are tossed ever farther 
from lives all hoped to access. 

Striving against this typhoon of violence
Perhaps our hope is bereft?
As...

Creator Art Director
Praise be to you in the Highest
My Highness
Answered with Glory
Created our story
Truly no other
May be called our Father
Among the wild
We heard your smile
Within arms length
Strength
Bless our Author
Who entered the water
Washed us from within
Took away all sins
His Holy oil
Blessed our soil
Quite exquisite
The Holy Spirit
Within...

(Dedicated to the Filipino Youth)

Our years of youthful yonder—
carry the mark of strength and beauty.
Like ancient, unwavering mountains,
no force can shake us, no storm can bend us.

Our years of noble sacrifice —
bear the weight of wisdom and menace.
Like the clever, tireless ant in summer daze,
Rizal’s...

Another year & another time
To enjoy your sweet place, so fine.
This was so peaceful & needed
God heard us when we pleaded
For quiet & space
To break the pace,
To sleep, pray & admire;
Refuel with His fire!
Holy "oil" come down;
Took away our frown.
May Jesus' love fill you too:
Blessings...

Mother said to carry Dad's little green luggage,
Godzilla my foe, I can do a step not a hundred,
Mother said to put in you--that, it's all bronzed,
Ugh, zip-phew Godzilla you stink your breadth.
Godz I gotta look for Dad Mom I ain't no angel.
Godz I told Mother...
