Monocrostic (Birthday of Carmelita C. Mangilaya)
Paranoia, hysteria
the chatter off lips fills me up with ridicule
curses off demon breath blown on me like a baptism by virgin blood
but i
etch triple sevens off sixes
hit the jackpot off my last nickel and laugh
cause happiness is made not given and i profit off the pain
why would i dance with the devil when i can dance through the rain
Sundays i go to temples built with skulls that gossip through their souls from hell
and the preacher wont let me off this noose
sit and stare at devils in slain angel skin on pulpits
i have to go to lonely hills to praise God
and i can't find God, God finds me
and even there the devils dressed in a hoody in a mini van with tinted windows and camera lenses
i took love there once and she got goosebumps off the lucy in the air
so we dashed off to a rendezvous and made love
love transcended us to a place where time doesn't exist and they don't either
we played Bon Iver
talked of times when times were quieter
sometimes with a bud and a lighter
old fashion mimosa and i recite her
a poem
on the rooftop over the city we use call home
O, Lake of the Mystical land
Budding with life small and grand
Provider of man and provider of land
Giver of sanctuary of birds all around
Harbour of beauty and pleasant sound
Many a lovers attracted to you
Transcend into heavenly plane trying to meet you
Your idyllic demeanor attract me to you
Is today the day I transcend into heavenly plane?
Will I be the one with nature through you?
It's not just the good news you deliver
Oh my you are so clever
You've been here forever and ever
Rejecting lovers is your old trope
Even if the lovers reach you with never-ending iver
Is it you or the afterlife they strive?
Your never-ending beauty creates strife
No, it is you they prize
Because other lovers go other ways
But all of them go in afterlife
River, are you saddened as you drift along-
In this, your journey started centuries ago?
Varied tales lay hidden in your rippling song;
Embodied, mystic secrets mantle rocks below.
Resting- no escape in your never-ending flow.

R-iver of tears that runs
H-as drowned many a heart;
O-n the thirtieth of May,
D-on't let your dream fall
A-part.
A-s you feel the pain inside,
R-iver of tears overflows;
I-n spite of the grief,
B-liss blooms like a rose.
A-llow the sun to shine, after the rain disappears;
S-mile with a glowing grin to dry the river of tears.
R-iver or pool of tears
I-s drowning the pain;
S-econd of May Tuesday
S-tarts to smile
A-gain.
N-ever swim in the pool of tears,
O-r you will surely sink;
C-omforting you this day
I-s the thing that I think.
L-et both your eyes sparkle,
L-onely night disappears,
A-llow your fret to fade,
D-on't cry a pool
O-f tears.
C-ry not a river,
H-ope for the ray of new light,
E-yes should start to glow.
R-iver of teardrops
R-educes your happiness,
Y-our joy and delight.
