Blessed by God as a full-blooded Filipina
I’m endowed with great cultural heritage of Asia
Distinctively that of the Benguet “Kankana-ey” tribe of the Cordillera
Enriching my country, the Philippines, of her unique role in the global agenda.
Grateful am I to the Lord for my tribe’s awareness of the Deity
Shown by my forefathers’ acknowledgment of the Supreme Being’s authority
Thru their festivities and rituals revealing their trust in the God Almighty…
Igniting my faith toward genuine Christianity and biblical spirituality.
I salute my tribe mates for their respect to creation and steadfast preservation of nature
Affirmed by their diligent gardening and productive, yet prudent farming venture
Making them stalwart guardians of their environment, their bounty-pasture
While invoking the Divine Providence against calamities thru sincere offerings’ gesture.
Gladness* couples my appreciation to our tribe’s close family ties and intimate engagements
During bonding moments over cups of coffee and meals along conversation merriments
Especially in clans’ get-together for weddings and feastings’ enjoyments
Aside from reunions in funerals filled with reminiscences of varied sentiments and predicaments.
My tribe with its peculiar culture is commendable indeed
Steadfastly strong in its identity of tenacious influential creed
As it welcomes changes of betterment and prosperity’s seed
Midst technological development toward progress-breed!
*Psalm 4:7 Thou (LORD) hast put gladness in my heart...

MY INNER CHILD
My inner child
rejoices to recollect childhood fun.
laments remembering deprivation of Mom’s love.
Joyfully reminisces affectionate Dad always caring for her.
acknowledges Grandma’s love and care with life-long gratitude.
suffers on memories of injustices done to an innocent helpless girl.
The joy of inner child in mine still
flies flying kite up high on sky.
flows with paper boat to float in pool nearby.
dances and prances on puppet show.
flashes on glow of rainbow.
Inner child of mine stays superfine
with dreams rippling on streams of joy
relishing childish merriments,
cheers getting easy, being busy
feeling jovial on trivial.

MARCHING INTO MAY'S MEMOIRS
May, here
Many dead
Memoirs to share
Much more being said
Maybe these man-hunt here and there
Will be finally put to bed
May's dues is due
Many mates mumbles in fate,
May we maneuver through
Memories of many months
Making mask most-sort after
Such that moving without mask
Is a risk more costly than face mask
Why must man mingle through life,
Are we living by the egde of a knife?
New day reality? Don't ask
Many homes have become enterprises,
Houses becomes church premises,
Marriage merriments melts away,
Making any gathering a taboo,
Many money mongers moaning this May,
In dismay, corona holding sway more than we do
Making mincemeat of mankind,
Murdering my moonlight melodies not,
Marinate my monthly muse.
May's lockdown,
Is it about to melt down?
Mask is now the new identity,
May's masking a must for mankind
As we, all let loosed not scared of anything,
Mumbly mulling over what we may find.

She's my neighbor; we study, from childhood, in the same school.
When we were younger, we regarded ourselves as best friends.
As she grows, she starts to be stern, though within she is cool.
To her friends' bids, she's stiff, while to her parents, she bends!
I like her friendship, though she feels too shy to contain me.
Rain is a mere cause; I wait for a chance to walk with her.
The stitch in the steel poke of the umbrella has gone free.
Is this why, as a girl growing up, there's a mental stir...?
She has given me very little space; it's enough, yet.
Though we don't, somehow, dare to gaze at each other's faces,
To our childhood contentment, we do not feel any threat.
Amidst lasting silence, there are indefinable graces...
Though only a monsoon glimpse, with glassy drizzling around,
May this pave paths to a new life with much merriments crowned...

“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Proverbs 29:18 of the King James Bible
Wrapped around my virtual mindfulness spree
I behold our special child basking in freedom
beyond dreamlike fantasy, verily ecstatic
zooming around park, designed for surreal venture.
Never unreal midst my faith-brightened vision
our son radiates exuberance against hazy ambiance
as he recites Bible verses, fortified with distinct gestures
only imaginary in skeptic unbelieving minds.
Outshining shadowy doubts, our young man prevails
sharing the Gospel, enunciating the love of God…
thus I delightfully see in seemingly trancelike enthrallment
while praying for miraculous occurrence, very possible.
Whether those are ethereal or celestial moments
To me, they are heavenly sublime wondrous merriments.

If time shall not our derelict joys
Revive with tunes melodious so,
Let past's nostalgic merries balm
Our souls and bid all sorrows go.
Should ebbing laughter and smiles
Their cold arcs yet vanishing carve,
May old cheers of our jolliest whiles
Redeeming warmths pitifully impart.
Although gone mirths seldom thwart
Present galls despite their vivid hues,
Mortal forgetteries lulling blisses are,
As would certainly void painful clues.
Thus might sweetly reechoed tones,
Excerpts from our merriments dead,
Like beneficent ditties in unison allay
All lingering whits of lonesome dread.
And if blunt fate her forking bivouacs
Twirl and twine in drab manners sour,
Beclouding paths erst snowing white;
Here’s bold shield in life’s icings dour.
To dwell in paradise
In company of the noble Prophet
Get these ingredients
And have a share in the everlasting merriments
Shaadah
It is to testify
That no other deity is worthy of worship but Allah
And that Muhammed is His messenger
Solah
It is to worship Allah 5 times a day
Yield to the call of Adhan
And Call on Him as much as you can.
Zakat
Give of what you have been given
For when you give
In return His blessings you shall receive.
Sawm
You are commanded to fast
In the beautiful month of Ramadan
Fast my brother, fast as much as you can.
Hajj
Seek the house of Allah
In the beautiful city of Makkah
Go on the journey, do the tawahf round the Kaabah

A colourful day of the year, when moonlight and sunlight never enough
Decorated with more lightening, colourful, beautiful and splendour
Songs, dances, tours and laughers, all culminated with Holy Mass prayers
The day of the year that celebrations and merriments are from the hearts.
One plus again today, though tough cycle experienced ever,
The cycle that I faced kilindi, a bottom of fiscal nudes,
Where top trusted friends and divine guiders,
Laughed at my mourns and pledged as backbiters
Speaking evils and pushed away my buoyancy.
The year that penny left the pockets, the year that comrades lost trust,
The year that concubines disappeared, the year that suicidal could be a b’ option
But God showered his Mercy, we reached a gain the cycle start
Thank you all comrades, who paid their trust on me,
The trust, resource you shared, are marked top to my heaven
Nothing I equal to repay, but prayers will seal my tongue
With songs and praise to my God, who sent such angles to me.
Years wishes to all, the fight has just began,
Purely academic it was, truly will keep the move,
And chase the thief tranquilly, no noise no boost Facebooking,
Time is our best align, let’s clap when destiny is reached

Couplet 20 wishes you congratulations
To the lovely brother in art
Whose best lies in his heart
To the pen of a great bard
Which caress muse as its guard
To the lonely moments
That permit mind's merriments
To nature's aesthetic observation
And all that grant you administration
The nature's love bubbling
In his awesome aesthetic value troubling
You have always find delight
Beyond imaginable words trite
By which minds are easily bewitched
And hearts awesomely enriched
Almost as fast as the speed of light
Boarded its bus to never alight
For all the best it present
More than any valuable present
Killing all fears
To learn the best way one cheers
Encourages the need to be afraid
Yet, state the reason to assess aids
Most of all, is embracing reality
In its guise magnificent abnormality
All these are for your pen and muse
And for the care you issue on human at ease
Relating people to the beautiful summer-
The warmest season of the year
Wishing all manage well through winter-
The coldest one of the year
Writing all seasons long
Making right all wrongs
Happy birthday to you, dear boss
And as you are bearing the art cross
May you continually bag many an award
Age gracefully dear poet lord
Minding not the earth's agony
Don't forget to fulfill destiny
More years through grace
Till every inch of your ink vanish into space
Spiritedly radiating festive cheer
Exuberant along blest hopeful gear
Prevailing with God’s grace, mercy and light
This month ushers us toward celebration delight.
Eagerly greeting our hearts with triumphant merriments
Mirth-filled September exudes jubilant, vibrant moments:
Birthdays of family members bring reunion bliss
Engaging loved ones together in fellowship we can’t miss---
Reminiscing childhood fun along home bonding zest
Fueled with testimonies of faith, attesting we are blest
Also, we have tribute to grandparents on a September Sunday
Leading our footsteps toward upholding wise legacy’s ray.
Let’s welcome September blessings gratefully indeed
Showered by the Lord* with His gifts to share in word and in deed.
*1 Peter 4:10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
