Long Pita Poems

The Story of History  

Beyond those beaten days’ depleted daylight
Beyond the bathos of a pandemic bondage
With  the resurrected  sashay’s charmed night
Down in the dumps   at the pretentious  proscenium

His thick-soled hiking shoes
tread too loudly
to celebrate time's homing invitation
to hear and see, 
feel and smell resonantly hidden diversity
within Spirit's wooded ridge.

reverberating through ears attuned for inside voices,
languaged...

Let’s begin with
A strong fresh
Brewed Greek coffee
The aroma alone,
Will wake up 
Your senses, 
Allow you to

And excite 
You, relax your taste buds.
About to travel,
Don’t put up fences,
Today...

Mind, intellect ego, nor echoes they spell,
Nor sense of hearing, speech, nor of smell, 
Nor am I earth, fire, air, nor yet space,
I’m Shiva, awareness and bliss. 

Nor vital Life-force, nor five breath fields,
Seven essences,...

Puso ko'y doble - kara nang mahalin kita
natutong umasam, magtiwala sa tamis ng iyong pagsinta, 
subalit nabahiran ng pangamba at kawalang pag-asa
nang ako'y umibig, puso ko'y nahati sa dalawa! 

Puso ko'y doble - kara kapag...

Now when I meet those that did, I feel such a fool
While I rushed to get my grades and a job of work
Others lay in bed...

I get up early at the crack of dawn
Gotta see my babe ‘fore she’s dressed and gone
Daylight peekin thru the window blind
Me and that gal get to feeling fine

The crack of dawn, nothin’s wrong

DO NOT FORGET

Your wired mind larger than Arabia
like a continent shrouded with beauty and rage,
I imagine you recalling the gush from Indian winds
the taste salted by curry fragrance
as  your mouth drolls two languages,
till lashes...

Malignant Black Snakes and Spiders Attack From Hell

Sweet little girl smiles on the soft sunny day
Plays with pillows on sofa beds  
Bright powder blue eyes follow patterns of colorful butterflies
She runs to greet them

PITA BREAD

Go in the Portal to read.
It is just a vestibule to perceive, to conceive, to form beliefs, to establish creeds.
This world is in a make-believe that government is to bring subordinates to their knees.

          My Gift to My Love

clothes or videos for you.
Never mind all that silliness!
Am sending me, to you,...

Catch tugs towards their berth
  Little yacht traipses triangular trail
  Cottage clasping slope admires bay
  Fisherman’s wife swells, eon enamour
   

   For his boomerang voyage, she brings

Spinach pie and feta cheese
And grape leaves stuffed with rice
Formed the basis for a lunch
That really was so nice.

Eggplant dip, tzatziki sauce
And salad, smartly dressed
And served with olives; who could ever
Sit there unimpressed?

Sliced up chicken,...

I.
Matapos ang pagsabog ng 'yong alindog,
Mayro'ng ingay'ng sa paarala'y pumutok,
Walang anu- ano, ang laya' y nasugpo.
Silid nati'y nagkakulay at napuno.

"Dito sa bandang hilaga ng likuran,
Sa layo'y patayo kitang tinutunghan,
Tahimik 'kong puso mo'y sinusumpaan
Ng pagmamahal ."...
