Teaching nonviolence, peace,...

Where once you stood

I glance across the room to where once you stood, 
busy with the evening meal, intent on the rhythms

I was born in a time
When the thrills of a thriller
Did move the bricks
Of the thickest of walls.

I grew in an era
When the dynasty of an empire
Did expand to farthest of lands.

Thine thoughts each mortal on crust must learn.
Servest thou each bruised heart in trepidation, 
And allurest thou 'em all to peachy innovation.

As a child, darkness
Stirred my heart, fear
Walked stubbornly
Across my thoughts, silencing
The tenderness that was
My mother’s love, the safety
Found in her heart, shelter

Silencing...

My emotions tease me at their will,
Plunder my hapless intellectual world
And declare a bloodless coup d’état.

Grips me with a freakish fear
And forces me to plunge deep within,
To rein in my...

Or ride the bronco bareback?

Awakened from depression on hope

”...don’t scare us…”
why, so we can care.less?

What's the reality of a dream,
Or the truth of a stark lie?
The wisdom of a foolish whim
About the life after we die?

Like an over-ripe fruit is rotten;

A Good Clean Slam

Let us investigate the process!
HOW…..HOW…..shall we make
a MUD PIE……without getting dirty???

We shall polish up the words,
buff them to an acceptable finish,
weave them into an undecipherable web
of double entendre, tongue in cheek malapropisms,

Rein in those opportunities to criticize
Think of all the good things to be said
Remember to see through others’ eyes.

Or sometimes simply resort to sighs.
In disagreement, merely shake your head
Rein in those opportunities to criticize.

Dream of Sailing
By: Noel N. Villarosa


Never sailed on a three-masted sailboat
Where it bustles to find a smooth wave
Where the wind is its engine
And heels above at the wave’s commotion

Feel the quiver of disappearing...

My life was plagued in darkness
And melancholy was its fodder,
