Applause

Let me repeatedly unite my two hands
For the feat like feet on wet sands,
I can infect with euphoria my band 
For the just seen, all-too-grand!
You yourself twang your lead guitar strings
Making their subject king of kings!

Applause, also a thumping of piano keys
That a chaos of praises frees;
An intoxicated crowd standing like trees,
Some minutes to Admiration lease.
A reward for breathless musical raps,
In wrestling commending some resounding slaps…

Applause for Misers donations
Echoes not across nations,
The one stirred by million dollars
Loudly heard Earth shakers:
The First, often sickly in Resonance
The second a Swaying Assonance…

On guarantee, an attack of one’s ear drum
By persons who hadn’t neared rum,
Merrily approving the superb
Or simply sympathizing with the drab.

November Holidays

November 1 is annual holiday
our nation regards it as “All Saints’ Day”…
Along biblical stand, such is noble
commending faith heroes, honorable.

“All Souls’ Day” greets November 2 with hope
as believers cleave to God midst trust-scope
sharing the Gospel of redemption gift
giving fellowmen spiritual uplift.

November 30 is marked with a red
“Bonifacio Day” … it is to be read
commemorating great patriot of zest
who fought for country’s liberation-best.

Some November days are indeed festive
with jubilant thanksgiving objective
family reunions and fellowship
birthday gatherings with praise-filled worship.

Grateful to experience November glow
my heart exalts Christ* amidst blessings’ flow
anticipating His joyous favor
for victorious reaching-out endeavor.

*Psalm 34:3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

Shiver

I ...
sit by the
window ...
cold, damp air
wrapping
tendrils 'round my
nape,
reminding me of
February ...
of her ... of farewell
chill thoughts
gather like
a knot
in the back of
my skull ...
thrumming like Thor's
mallet -
commending the
haughty
hell that dripped
from her
baby-soft
bows
like honeyed poison ...
to ruin
me.

Country Music

Chants echoing home bliss
Celestial songs of heart
Commending folks’ good times
Clear through guitar rhythm
Celebrating triumph
Clarion for me to hum:
“Cordillera*, you're God**-blest.” 

*My home region in our country
**Psalm 47:5 God is gone up with a shout, The Lord with the sound of a trumpet.

Freedom Exposure

“… The 1986 revolution in the Philippines … brought an end to the martial law imposed by Marcos’ regime in 1972, and saw the accession to power of the first woman president, Cory Aquino.”

Freedom songs of militant optimism
Reigned with victorious patriotism
Liberty shouting spirit of volunteerism
Vanquishing oppressed activism…

Music reverberating freedom’s prevalence
Street dancing breaking Martial Law’s silence
Commending People power revolution excellence
God I thank for His bestowed historical opulence…
 
Such marked grand national milestone in my College days
Having first woman president along political race
After freedom-driven coup d’etat of peaceful ways  
The Lord I praise for His provident grace…

Best of all is my spiritual freedom exposure
Midst university culture shock pressure 
Genuine peace*, divine liberation I gained with pleasure
Through Jesus Christ the Saviour Who my eternity does assure. 

*Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Only--

In a kingdom full of sole
Only
Only my  Lord only much I marveled the silent limit
Once I sat engaged and doing without this
Only on that day my soul grow lonesome
Once I sat engaged and limiting
The easy exclusive extending
Only while I pondered, more and impending
It was commending, only
That moment my soul grew most, solely
Back into my memories avoiding
And the control was voiding
The monitors came exploring
Only
That moment my soul grew remote
Solely
What could there be more purely cutthroat?
The large lower lauding
The aloof ascendancy appreciating
Only
I remember I was willing
What could there be more purely fulfilling?
Ah, distinctly I was praising
Solely
Question?
The mercy, the help from God
 Is by far a choice is it..solely
Only

Be Faithful

“Be faithful!”* That’s the Saviour’s requirement
Amidst His great sacrifice-fulfillment.
Let’s comply with joy as His called stewards…
…Claiming His full service-empowerment. 

“You’ll be blessed!”  Such is Christ’s sure victory…
...Commending righteous deeds for His glory.
We must rely on His upholding strength
In sharing, with prayer, Gospel story.

*1Corinthians 7:25 …As one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

Christ-Centered Character

Compassionate with confident charity’s call
Concerned for clear Christian conversion cause
Committed to Christ’s cross, cleaving to His covenant 
Cooperative along congregation’s counseling clamor
Circumspect to correct compromises’ conveniences
Courageous, contending against carnality-challenge
Cheering the cross-carriers, crowned cavaliers of the Creator
Comforting, caring for the chastised, crying for clemency chances
Creating conformity changes from corruption-cursed condemnation
Christ-centered character commending CHRIST!*


*1Corinthians 1:24 …Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Do I Have Any Ideas

DO i have any ideas?
  asked the cool winds
that into my Soul blew.
  "Yes, but no." i said.
[fear left me years ago
  and so it grew my spine]
"Well!" blew the words,
"commending  you for 
the Love you are Spreading
   - seeds grow unaware
then red two-lips and 
full blown are my own
 expressed words to the
World!

Long Live Brussels

Long Live Brussels! 

We need to fight back, 
And in arduousness react, 
Without restraint or hesitation, 
And blame in aggression. 

Islam and faith must go down, 
They must subside in renown, 
Islamophobia is more credible, 
Because of terrorism indelible. 

There’s something wrong, 
With religion’s repeated song, 
Which assimilates radicals, 
Who are potential criminals. 

It protects reactionaries, 
And funds Jahidi armies,  
Asking us to tolerate, 
The more liberal delegate.  

We must state the lines, 
Of faith’s heartfelt pines, 
By commending some, 
And by banning the one.
