Quote: "Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love." By Rumi

             **************************
Spring geckos dance amid the early dew, 
Olive snuggles with dulcet dreams as mint.
A duckling settles

Blocks of Nigh

through streets of déclassé squalor, i wander, 
courtesan of chaos my feet bare, 
ballerina on the dirty floor 
o the city's kin of decay, 
ragtag orchestra plays its dirge;
an eerie swan song.

i dance with shadows, a mistress of midnight's 
in alleyways, i hear the ghosts of carnal revelries,
know the dolled-up ghoul of society's sweet melee,
her

Building Blocks

One, two, what'll I do?
Three, four, up from the floor.
Five, six, stack them like bricks.
Seven, eight, make sure they're straight!
Nine, ten, will I go again?
Eleven...oh my heavens!

Great Lego Spill at Sea

On a night with waves so high,
A ship sailed beneath a moonlit sky,
With cargo bound for distant shore,
It carried toys, and so much more.

But, fate had landed on a different course,
For the sea unleashed its torrential force,
The tempest rose, the winds did howl,
The ocean roared, an angry beast on prowl.

As the ship heaved to left

Lego Blocks

Building with my Lego toys toys toys,
brings my hands such joys joys joys.
Red blocks, blue blocks, yellow too,
building gives my hands something to do.
Lego blocks shaped like a bird and a tree
other blocks put together and shaped like a bee.
Lego blocks collected in a red bin
Leave the bin on the table to play again.

Brick By Brick

Higher and higher, 
brick by brick. 
Snapped together 
makes them stick.

Green on the bottom 
then blue, then red.
Add one more block,
take it down instead. 

Maybe a white one,
or maybe a black.
Who knows how high
I can make them stack?

When I am done, 
I will let you know. 
So, just let me play
with my Lego.

Writer's Writing Writers Block

Of all the things I want to write,
Braver than me today, just these endless thoughts might,
A sky that doesn't exist, there I would fly a kite,
My brain thinks, but to the muse! I just cant hold on tight!
What to write? My brain just argues and fights,
Will I ever be able to see my work's sight?
I

On the Fire That Razed Blocks 3 and 4 of the Baguio Public Market Night of March 11, 2023

It all began with a tiny spark
That quickly grew to a roaring blaze;
Its flaming arms reaching every space
Devouring all that in its path lay.

It was close to midnight, who would’ve thought
That the night would be pierced by this onslaught?
Firefighters came and with all their might fought 
This treacherous foe, its destruction sought.

So we stood and

Stacking Blocks

He grins beneath those golden locks
And stacks his blocks
And stacks his blocks
With non-stop and incessant talk
He stacks those blocks
And stacks those blocks
And then so he can take a walk
Pulls off his socks
Pulls off his socks
And drives his truck into those blocks
To watch them drop
To watch them drop
With giggling that never stops
He stacks his blocks
And stacks

Again It Blocks

Writer's  block again 
This is the avenue it unfolds on
This is how it presents sorting 
Through old poems  
Anything to bare fruit  one thousand 
Times dodging misbehaving 
Verbs and rhymes 

Every other story has a name
To claim  Writer's block makes great 
Effort with its stock 
My mind is keyed into dawn

Goldie Blocks Had No Fear

Goldie Blocks had no fear of anything – not closets, the dark or stairs.
Faerie tales did not scare her, she did not fear lions, tigers or bears.
She is fearless, her mother and her father agreed about their child.
They allowed her to roam the land. Goldie Blocks was rather wild.

The neighbors said “I would raise her

Over Every Wall That Blocks Me

And over every wall that blocks me,

Over 
Every distant hill that I can see,

I imagine 
A magical land,

A land,
Where somehow things are different,

Winged creatures 
dance among the trees,

Sunlight, 
Falls like torch beams,

White Clouds, 
Rise, 

Like Mountains in the sky, 

Stars hang like diamonds,

Rivers flow like electric blue,

A place 
across the hilltops,

The other side of walls,

A

Blocks of Time

Good time and bad time
The pulses of time continuum
Repeat with rhythm regular or irregular
Destiny decides the timing and the duration
But they must change from one trait to the other
In the impermanent world of the ever changing times.

Good time and bad time
The two faces of the coin life gets
Spins at its own interval regular or irregular
You

Ancient Blocks

Ancient  Block

Times you are amusing

Fencing off heads

Away from their ideas

Making breeze without the wind

Oftentimes you awful

Being mean and breaking wills 

Spewing words without no thoughts

Making faces while freezing phrases

Othertimes you send your gaps 

Inside thoughts and makeshift phrases

Making one frenzy

As we tap and tap

to patch up each sentence 

Making mockery of tense and moments
