Slave to wayward thoughts,
unwritten poems return to haunt.
Tempest of tragedy arrives as a harbinger,
wrecking fences that divide sleeping paths. 

There is no one to show the way.
Father's sins betray,
mother's tongue destroys. 
Punishing a misled mind,
to ponder unwanted silence.

Time is no friend, so much is lost...

marigold tongues
water a flowering seed
as downy hands
mend a crushed bruised reed.

a flaxen shaft
lights a smoldering wick
as a ‘lectric beam
starts a heart’s soft tick

spines in strain
raze a barrier wall
marigold tongues
make a blade stand tall...

The Lying Tongue
sang a song
The Flattering Tongue
played along
The Know It All Tongue
intended the composition
The Meddling Tongue
held it's position
The Harsh Tongue
kept quiet for once
The Tactless Tongue
reluctantly obliged 
The Rude Tongue
got annoyed
The Loquatious Tongue
was soon overjoyed
The Discouraging Tongue
hummed on
The Self-Depreciating Tongue
became withdrawn
The Argumentative Tongue
thought it all wrong

When someone lies to me, sometimes it's difficult not to turn and walk away. I think they do it because of one of two reasons. Either they need to feel important, or because they think I'm too stupid to know they're lying."


Nothing irks me more...

Tides move in as one--
bowing upright azure tongues,
marching from the sun.
Pallets lick the shifting sand,
slowly move the plastic land....

You think fields are so lovely?
You think as this snow falls
furious that it will give up
its words to the likes of
you?  It would just go
speak to you in soft
tongues ones that
you alone you
only would
be able to
hear?
No
loud lies
no chance
will the snow
speak to or utter
to you...

Green Trees to calm our nerves.
Fresh Air to soothe our lungs.
Dampness to cool our heads
and Comfort to fuel our tongues.

Branches to free our notions
and storm clouds to feed our soul.
Black rain to fill us up again
and raped wind to make us whole....

Escape into your heart;
Where your mind can't be found;
Flee into the fleeting muscles, pumping iron;
Flow within the vessels that inhabit dew;
Liquids of scarlet drops of quarrel;
Flee from out your head;
Those hurt full pangs you dread;
Sacrifice those killing scene;
Vanquish thoughts of unpleasantness;
Words hurt more than metal,...

The oldest voices whisper below the ground.
Hands pull on roots — wind-beaten, gnarled —
stories woven through the fabric of time.
Bark peeled slick, leaves flattened,
the wisdom of what makes whole lies
between finger and thumb,
passed along like a flame, a prayer.

But the soil only knows part of...

Snakes in loose tongues
Proclaim one message, doing the opposite
When lie bangs and sty clangs
Identify and typify the hypocrite

Who declares faith in one moment
Swims in seas of sin
Inviting the ferment of torment
The hypocrite in his din

Can’t shove away
Despite claims to sainthood
That conscience can’t slay
As sin neighbourhood

Captures...

Ancestors had fore-planned 
My whole being in Spanish
Yet, my concerned parents wrote 
My rhesus A-plus blood in Tagalog

I was born, they said 
To enjoy my own life, not theirs
That I took slowly my first steps in Ilocano
Only to be held captive by a beast, a...

Spittle of diddle are many tongues forming spittle
two ends against the middle they diddle spittle 
spittle, they diddle, as mucus forms of diddle, spittle
still` Breath of Spirit speaks to even the coldest  souls
current of life excels the void womb thus swells
dilly, they dally, ...

Heavenly voices sing sweeter than a lark
raised in harmonic language of their own.
At the ready to guide us through the dark.
Love transcends on the tongues of Angels.

They pay heed to our glimmering tears
and to hearts when in need of mending.
What blessings for us to have...
