Cold,
Was the look in her eyes
When their eyes first met
Cold,
Was the skin of her palm
When he first held her hand
Cold,
Was the touch of her lips
When they first kissed
Cold,
Was the brush of her skin
When he felt it with his fingertips
She siphoned his warmth
And left him shivering
When she stepped out for her next rodeo.

Imagine…
You’re inside
An enclosed room
Wall to wall
You find yourself
In deep predicament
Suddenly…it talk
“You are great!”
“You shall surpass
And, you shall live
Beyond your expectation!”
How come?!
“But your faith
Is the truth
Forget your reservations
No, never waver
More than ever
Thank HIM
For every breath
For love, life and strong belief!”

Generally, no kiss does attract opposite
But, necessary of course
For a definite purpose
Like in intercourse
Kiss is important incidence.
Kissing stimulates
With the same gender it complicates
But, more importantly with opposites.
Nevertheless, for opposites the more
Kissing is very afflictive!
Don’t joke….
Kissing is an ingredient between mates.
Kissing the lips is passionate love
Kissing the head is respect, irrespective
Kissing hand is submissive
Kissing the sensitive is to seduce
Could turn into malice unless you love
Kissing at times is to bid goodbye.
Kissing game
Sometimes for a price
You need to have practice
The spirit is drowningly, torridly enjoyable
Fullness in the act is a consummate
For opposites it could be explosive.
For honeymooners they need a license
Yet for live- ins never mind
But to be alive…
Kissing superhuman is superbly exhaustive!
In the biblical tragedy
Judas betrayed Jesus when kissed.

Why, it hasten
As the clouds open
Yes, I’m afraid, I got no appointment
I need to acquaint
My problems are hard to understand
But just the same I’m emphatic and dream
Somehow, many things happen
There are lightning and thunders
They resisted that I understand
Here, it came a Helping Hand
‘though abandoned and denied
Yet, I believe there’s heaven
Maybe tomorrow it redeems
And finally it enjoins to a meeting again.

I am bound for home,
A little after midnight
After an earthly nightly owl,
Over wines, songs and dances
The wee hours till we adjourned.
While driving in a wooded area
When a sudden downpour
With a big thunder climaxed me around
With total darkness and a blackout prevailed
Then, my car slowed to a stop
And stranded in the middle of nowhere
Oh, I have an empty fuel, my goodness!
This very untimely and unfortunate
Opportune misgiving on my part!
Thinking of some of my remedial intuitions
My cell phone is dead!
At last, a car light at my back
Perhaps a law enforcer
Or, maybe somebody came to a rescue
A loud knock at my left window
Pointing my flashlight where the knock came
I saw a… lady in a white gown smiling at me!!

Where we live is universal
It is men’s abode, they fight for it
Only to become lethal
Man now without mercy is cruel
We love the EARTH and man is wise
To be a fool, he abuses trees for his use
Be it for personal and commercial
He does irresponsible mining to his detriment
His garbage and waste are left uncontrolled.
But sure in pageantry we are not forgetful
Of the monumental EARTH HOUR of this event!
Each one representing
The air, the water, the land, the fire, the rain, the trees
And, Miss Earth is found and crowned
A great face, an advocate , an ambassador
Torchbearer of environmental protection
Mindful of man’s obligation to save this planet
By the second, by the minute, by the hour!
Note: I will diligently sort my garbage into 3 categories: real garbage, recyclable and food scraps (recycled as fertilizers), my humble way of preserving our planet Earth!

MIDNIGHT PEARL
Pearl is precious
Sea pearl even hard to find
Much more a mermaid at guard
Human pearl even more
A human being is a true beauty but weak
More than ever it needs careful care
A lady with a heart
Is a midnight pearl
The heart is a focal point
Center of her morality and fidelity
Her love must be pure and spontaneous
It can’t be gleaned outside
It is deep inside
The night is enormous and blinding
Its horizon must be lingering
Prove worthiness that endures! It can make waves…

FIRE
The fire in you
Must be sustainable
It has to give warmth
And not dampen the dryness
But unguarded fire
May go astray
It might be widespread
Enough water may never quench
As the fire lingers in you
Give space makes it ignited
Glorious and gratifying
And the heat is there till morning!

I am no robot
Transform me, I disagree
I’m natural with a heart
All my life, I want
Is me, with love, with feelings
I'm warm, not cold as steel.

His charm captivates me as I stroke his lovely hair
Ohh, his passionate kisses, his tongue on my face, on my neck...
With amorous eyes, relishes his bark, “wuf you, wuf you”.

There’s music in the wind
As I muse the sexiest piece of my life…
Veiled with love, faith, hopes and dreams
The Kubo (hut) now standing tall.
It has fulfilled its loyalty not to share
Events of unlimited joys…
As the Hawaiian sarong fluttered
The language of love shared
The heart raptures with fulfillment
Indescribable life’s SEXY moments…

Year 1983 Lord
You gifted me a special child
I thought then, he was a penalty
Now I realized, he is an earth angel
A priceless present from heaven.
He has cerebral palsy, total blindness and quadriplegics
I can’t replace his erratic muscles
I can’t give light in his eyes
I can’t change his feet.
I can’t modify his physical condition.
Listen to my heart Oh Lord
I am your humble servant
You make miracles
I don’t pray for miracles now
I supplicate for continuous strength!
“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change”

JANUARY
Spit out hope dear January
The cycle has just begun
For grandiose resolutions:
Saving money, spending less,
Losing weight, eating healthy,
Walking, exercising more,
Sharing more precious time with love ones.
Remarkable plans!
Light the fire dear January
Keep the torch burning
A spot light through a jungle of:
Joys, pains, triumphs, failures
Comfort, discomfort,
Fortunes, misfortunes
Health, sickness.
Riddles of life!
Exalt as you open the door dear January
For you are the gateway
To the unknown 2012!
