Premium Member Mushrooms Acid and Coke

she hung once more upside down from her own cross

nails painted crimson and blood on the ripped loin cloth

which barely covered her conscience gripped by desire

and meaningless slaughter on the spread sheet of acid


sweet sour bile dripped from diversified levitation for

the magic mushrooms must have been out of date while

the snake in paradise hissed at the fig leaf of her brain

‘mind the gap’ her decayed teeth warned but Faustus

danced with Leviathan to mute such obscene suggestion


and yet when she reached the rock bottom of hallucination

comprehended that glass ceilings were there to be shattered

and that shards are a mosaic of change waiting to happen

she cancelled her subscription with the dealer on speed dial


pain oozed from withdrawal and refused to give precedence

to joy and enlightenment until she lit a sandalwood candle

deepened awareness softened attention and the scented wax

healed wounds scars blisters and denial of injured defeat


anger anxiety boredom rage and insufferable depression

still bore the shadows of toxic flames of past dependence

but when the message set in she wore the battle with pride


she missed the mania fake omnipotence and white powder

but when she embraced darkness rays of hope prevailed

mindfulness became a truth devoid of habitual craving

Premium Member Fantastic Four

Cosmic rays catalyzed their mission
Mister Fantastic, Reed, led the group
He could stretch like atomic fission.
He bent and flexed to assist the troupe.

Before, girlfriend, later fiancé,
Invisible Woman made impact.
Sue's force field had significant splay 
and her bombastic blasts were exact.

Johnny, the Human Torch, struck a name.
As Sue's brother, he was in the know,
used his powers to generate flame. 
His embers turned a spark to a glow.

Oh, the monstrous Thing, friend to them all,
grumpy and grouchy but super strong.
He would have been grand with a football.
Stone-like durable flesh and headstrong.

More diversified team you won't find.
Like musketeers, they are one for all
These are the outcasts of humankind,
when need arises, we give them a call.

I've decided to take a chance by submitting it while I consider reconfiguring this already condensed piece.

Symphony of Worship

Should we desire to imitate our Master, we must diligently study to know His heart.

As an orchestra should desire to play Beethoven with perfection, they too must
seek to know what he was thinking and feeling – the air  he was breathing in and breathing out; playing the thoughts that turned his story into a beautiful symphony.

So we too, though broken fragments – individual and diversified, come together in unity, study our Master who fills us with His Spirit, that we may know Him, imitate Him; learning the symphony that He has written. 

Let us breathe Him in and breath Him out, that the world might desire to intently listen and learn to know Him, then desire to be a part of worshiping the One who has written His symphony on our hearts.

Ode To Nature

To feel the morning zephyr on my face, 
To wake up to the sound of cuckoo's call, 
To take a stroll through the woods at my pace, 
To watch aurora greet the red fireball, 
To see the leaves romancing with the breeze, 
To smell the fresh scent of a blooming rose, 
To glimpse the hummingbird winging its way, 
To hold on to dawn's smile as it does tease, 
To enjoy azure sky's warm colour shows ~
How wonderful to thus begin my day!! 

Time with nature is sure to refresh us, 
Admiring God's beautiful creation, 
At daybreak, life around is lustre plus, 
We can leave behind all our frustration, 
Nature rejuvenates like none other, 
Where else can we find such calm, peace and joy? 
Our worries and cares, we can cast aside, 
When we spend some time with the earth mother, 
How careful we must be not to destroy
the Maker's handiwork diversified!! 

Reigning gloriously, Nature's serene, 
As she goes about her assigned duties, 
At dayspring, we can admire her bright screen, 
Displaying her awe-inspiring beauties;
She's a peaceful Regina's portraiture, 
Silently bearing, groaning* and seeing
the destruction caused by human grenade;
Deep in our hearts, we must be like nature ~
Always giving, spreading smiles by being
true to our purpose for which we are made.

Ready To Go Home

The nurse said, “ This will soothe your pain. “
My left hand was connected with Iv. 
And, I was observing how 
The blood flows through the narrow pipes
A playtime for my very own blood!

The nurses were talking among themselves
Why the veins are not prominent enough,
How I should help them to make it visible 
Visible enough for another poke.

I was lying there, 
In between sleep and consciousness
I was lying there, 
Amidst hopelessness and timelessness.

And I was looking at the 
television in the corner of the room
Where life advertises 24 hours 
Its diversified colored illusions...on and on. 

And suddenly I felt calm, I felt peace
I felt I can lie here and at least supplicate to God
For His mercy, to expiate my sins once and for all.
I was not able to move any of my hands,
One was stuck with Iv, the other one with an oximeter.

Alone there, I felt for a moment that God forgave me, perhaps.
And the nurse came back. “ We are ready to send you home!”

Premium Member Earth


a blue speck of yonder eons
my cosmic charisma
in spatial silent spin
immaculate

stream strings wind in rhapsody breeze
through the topographic template
carved of rocks 
the sands of time
metamorphosed
mountain peaks rise to sky
write the story of my internal turmoil
moving crust of my past in the chaos of present
the jostling outer visage 

I foster diversified life  
in patterned evolution
nurture unique possession
nature personified  
stride of mankind scripts stark dismal story
usurps canvas of green sustenance
trips my innate balance for civilization progress 
contentious

before the calamity strikes
it’s time 
I get back the pristine poise
delicate in fragility
preserved for the future

Premium Member Home Garden

With nowhere better to go, I nurture home.
Rows of sown seed need me 
to sing them to fruition
with the moisture of tender words,
coziness brushing buds 
with benevolent thrums.
Following intuition's petition,
pebble stones, thyme whiffs, skipping feet,
flower power spells, and blue bells' ring,
I'm welcomed to the scene: 
veggies competing in diversified strides,
flourishing fruit trees with wings it seems,
verdure upstretched to light's extensive dive,
joining birdsong chorus lifts, 
with fervent desire to thrive
from life to life like Eden's beginning.
The first ripe cherry flushes 
with sun's zingy red depths,
plush with juicy secrets beyond
comprehension's clutch.
I ingest this portion of wisdom
while studying God's living gifts,
with humble recognition,
so much is yet unknown.

655 The 5th Period of the Pre-Spanish Era of Philippine History: The Advent of Islam

655.

The 5th Period of the Pre-Spanish Era of Philippine History:

The Advent of Islam



After centuries of paganism & animism

And the traces of Indianization & polytheism

Came Islam, a religion that worships Allah

From Arabia, brought here by neighbors in Southeast Asia



First by Makhdum, a missionary from Malacca

Then by Raha Baginda, a prince from Sumatra

The former built a mosque & preached Islam by word

The latter brought elephants & propagated Islam by sword



In 1450 came Abu Bakr, an Arab authority

He married Raha Baginda's daughter, Princess Paramisuli

He founded the Sultanate of Sulu, patterned from the Caliphate of Arabia

He unified the Sulu people, both from hilly zone & coastal area



In 1475 came to Cotabato Sharif Kabungsuan

In Maguindanao he became the first sultan

Then from Mindanao, Islam reached Visayas & Luzon

The beginning of our country's Islamization



This is the 5th Period of Pre-Spanish Era – The Advent of Islam

Before Christianity, monotheism here had already come

Islam was our country's first monotheistic religion

God wanted only one god for the diversified Philippine nation.

Premium Member Behind Deceptive Facade

Up the evolutionary diversified life's tree
a unique species climbed with time to the canopy.
A perfect blend of functional form and wisdom,
a matchless masterpiece created in living kingdom.

Beneath the cold shroud of austere expression
flow the convivial streams of silent emotion
with the tender ripples of love and empathy
that touch shores of my heart and soul endlessly.

When all the dreams break and hopes abort
I seek and get the gift of all-needed support
to again embark on the journey, cross milestone,
for I know I won’t ever walk life alone.

Behind the deceptive façade of divergent kinds
I’ve seen the lively portraits of beautiful minds.
Since all humane traits their reasoning can span
my favorite animal created is the rational man.

(Inspired by Aristotle's attribute of man)
