Long Ating Poems

the sky erupts monsters
sky erupts monsters forming
erupts monsters forming wreaking
monsters forming wreaking havoc
forming wreaking havoc shattering
wreaking havoc shattering serenity
havoc shattering serenity bolts
shattering serenity bolts of
serenity bolts of hell
bolts of hell deluge
of hell deluge descending

Magdadapit-hapon na't ang kalangita'y nagku-kulimlim, 
naghahalo ang madugong pagka-lunod ng araw sa sinag ng
buwang nagbu-bughaw, 
ang anino ng aking pag-iisa'y namumula sa pagka-bagot, 
isipa'y nagkapunit-punit, 
sugat sa katinua'y walang tigil sa pag-durugo, 
animo'y nahiwa ng...

God be praised for today’s wondrous altar date
That you, very new couple, 
Brother Noel and Sister Berlin became one flesh*…
Tied in the Lord’s love of blissful blessings.

We jubilantly greet you with our earnest prayer

FAITH IS A POWERFUL THING


Faceless fears. Trials. they seize and drain whence one let them sink . . . 
Across our path are stormy hills and mountains that blocks.
Interest should kindle one to stand as...

I brought her back 

I brought her back into my life 
and now I can't even close my
eyes for a second, her eyes are 
the only sensory which can see 
if I'm telling a truth...

Kung sasariwain ko sa 'king isip
Ang nangagdaang mga kapanahunan,
Liban kay Jessang lubhang pinintakasi,
Ikaw'y naroon 'di ko maikukubli!

Sa koliheyo kata'y nagkakilala,
Katoto kita sa 'sang asignatura,
Sa unang tagpo'y 'di ko maikakaila
May paghanga ako sa iyong nadama.

Aywan ko...

Sa isang malamig na sulok ng lilim,
girian ay lumalalim,
liwanag laban sa dilim,
araw ay palubog ng palubog,
dahan-dahan,
mahinahon,
ngunit ang iniwa'y dumudugong kalawakan,
pulang-pula,
ito ay rebolusyon ng pag-ibig,
himagsikan sa araw ni santo valentino,
tulad ng spaghetii al' amatriciana,
sa ating harapan...

The meal seemed amazing
Apple pie hot out of the oven was blazing
Ice cream with caramel sauce made it very pleasing
Now one more toast we are raising

Eating something tainted
Do I get out of...

Soaking up sunshine on sandy warm shores;
   sipping sangria while sampling smores.
Under umbrellas we’re putting to use;
   utterly euphoric as the day comes unloose.
Mid-morning mildness is making me muse;

Magkasama nating tinupad ang ating mga panaginip...
panaginip na makamtan ang tunay na pag-ibig.
ikaw at ako, magkahawak-kamay, masayang humabi
mga pangarap na sana'y ating pinagsasaluhan sa araw at gabi.

humabi tayo ng panaginip
nakiisa sa masidhi nating pag-ibig
nagpatangay sa...

WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY ...

Allowing myself some free time to do what I want to do
Perfecting a poem to post on poetry soup
Planting seeds...

Fating are the warm days, introducing most
Appetizing cool refreshing reception. Most
Rewarding scent of autumn wood spice.
Entrancing grace of fluttering amber leaves and faint
Waft murmur hum.
Engaging novice playful breeze
Lifting upon the ebbing wave of
Languid pulse to...

Ihanda ang sarili sa Banal na Hapunan, 
Ang pagdalo sa pagsamba ay pagtalagahan; 
Itaguyod ang ganap na pagbabagong buhay, 
Lubos na isulong ang ikapagtatagumpay.

Tumulong tayo sa gawang pagpapalaganap, 
Huwag magsasawang mag-anyaya at maghanap; 
Akayin ang...

Kapaligiran, Kay gandang pagmasdan
Lalo na kung ito'y maayos at malinis
Subalit kulang yata sa aral o disiplina ang mga Pilipino
Maraming basura ay nagkalat, mga plastik at bote 
Na sa kanal ay napupunta at bumabara

Darating na naman...

Huwag manlalamig ang pag-ibig sa Diyos, 
Kahit ano pa ang maganap sa daigdig; 
Palaging sundin ang Kaniyang mga utos, 
Sa kapighatian ay huwag padadaig.

Maging maalab sa tawag ng...

Huwag pababayaan ang mga pagsamba, 
Magkaroon man ng hadlang o ng problema; 
Sa loob ng templo'y tiyak malulunasan
Ang mga suliraning pinagdaraanan.

Umawit ng pagpupuri at manalangin, 
Ang mga aral ng Diyos ay ating dinggin; 
Pagtalagahan natin...

It’s sad just how low, American leftists will go,
Mentally ill by the thought: TRUMP WINS—two in a row.
Pelosi—their Jesus, decrees moral high ground,
Enter Schumer, Nadler, and Schiff—three idiot clowns.
And yet, not one strategy has rid...
