Best Merriments Poems

The little drummer boy....

He played this beat for you!?

But you could not hear

Still, he kept rapping upon that drum ~

Even as the salty tears they did flow

Standing all alone?

While the Heavens rains, began to pour....

Yet, still, he played ~

With somber upon his face

As the world...

I sauntered in an evening mist
   A midnight's heaven, magic-kissed
      Lamp-lit raindrops pattered, awesome
         Shining city turned violet blossom
           ...

Blessed by God as a full-blooded Filipina
I’m endowed with great cultural heritage of Asia
Distinctively that of the Benguet “Kankana-ey” tribe of the Cordillera
Enriching my country, the Philippines, of her unique role in the global agenda.

Grateful am I to the Lord for my tribe’s awareness of...

Mirth-filled September exudes jubilant, vibrant moments:
Birthdays of family members bring reunion bliss
Engaging loved ones together in fellowship we...

a long time ago
mother earth was beauty aglow
near our niger’s banks as top trees
were plain jungle pavements
for jumping squirrels & monkeys
on a long quest for merriments –

yea! at such a time
at the beginning of all time
lived an old graceful tortoise
amdst many a dinta, the hunter...

She recall her day when she sat by the window
And saw the defiled sky to brace up on with spiritual phantasm
Of some demonic begrudges – amassing and making
The flushing spirit of the late evening merriments and bichrome realism.
 
She beshrewed the iniquity rushing by, but...

To dwell in paradise
In company of the noble Prophet
Get these ingredients
And have a share in the everlasting merriments
Shaadah
It is to testify
That no other deity is worthy of worship but Allah
And that Muhammed is His messenger

It is to worship Allah 5 times a day
Yield to the...

“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.”  Proverbs 29:18 of the King James Bible

Wrapped around my virtual mindfulness spree
I behold our special child basking in freedom
beyond dreamlike fantasy, verily ecstatic
zooming around park, designed for...

Aspire to be more than you are today
Strive for betterment in every way

Yearn for grandness in all aspects of life
Rise above apparent obstacles and strife

Seek the truth in all that you do
Commit to resolution and see it through

Breathe inspiration into every endeavor
Succumb no negative forces...

This love, love is so indifferent...
When I used to be the spoiled playboy,
My heart scorned me yet I endured the dallies.
Few shed tears and few took casually,
But when the society blamed me
I dismayed, 'whether I can love anybody?'
 
This love, love is so indifferent...
When I...

Christmas Love Came Down

Christmas cheers chime as chubby cheeked children anticipate and wait. 
Hoping that they have lived well enough for presents up to this date.
Reality relies on the realizations that love from parents and God give joy.  Really!
Infinite love shares Santa tales enticing...

Sun shone cheerily when we greeted our new life.
Merriments, not memories lifted lifelong strife.
Immense endearments, as your wife, I bestow.  
Like lavender lilacs laced in loves’ golden glow.
Every kindheartedness liberated pains flow.
Smiles replaced sorrow; together, souls know.

Sitting aneath her shades tree opening up a pearls box...
Glancing about afore pulling out, his and hers mix as match
Velvet dolls dressed in colours of cream; rainbow swirling dreams 
Genavieve, standing tall aside the stream, holding high her torch unto 
Merriments magical and majestical, love...

Carry on, my dear, carry, carry on
For soon, for you, there will be a new dawn
Filled with joy and filled with cake and presents
And if I must, I will throw in cents 
A pair, of course, for if that is not there
No advice will be...
