Galit sa akin but greeted me with Assalamu alaykum.
And kung personal Moro friends ko naman ito...

Sam woke up all excited, his first circle would take place tonight,
He saw Crimson Fire sat deep into mediation, still as a rock
and noticed the white robes, belts and staffs laid out ready.
He knew from...

To a Mouse
by Robert Burns
translation/modernization/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

Sleek, tiny, timorous, cowering beast,
Why’s such panic in your breast?
Why dash away, so quick, so rash,
In a frenzied flash
When I would be loath to run after you
With...

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...

Senor's wealth management...
battered pinata like

Yours truly courtesy servitude
tethered existence suffers neck
brunt of yoke
fiscal recklessness got me woke
within cosmic schema, 
a mere infinitesimal speck.

Insolvent crisis principally bespoke
interestingly enough
caught me off balance
sudden pennilessness

Humankind  iLL-Humane--

Left on a chain in the rain and in summer’s heat;
Continued barking
Ill humane treatment
Carcass
Remains left on chains--caged up dogs
Maggot distorted flesh rotted muscle and fat
My passion is the humane humankind
I felt compelled to...

I was watching the TV the other day
When a certain Rerun began to play.
It brought me back to one of my brain's stifled bans
Because it was about Lucas McCain...the Rifleman.

All of a sudden I was...

Paggising Sa umaga, palagi akong natatanaw ang araw.
Sumisikat at Nagniningning, habang nararamdaman ko ang init nito.
Tulad ng pakiramdam ko sa tuwing nababalot ako Sa init ng pagmamahal mo.
Dahil ramdam ko parin ang mga yapos, gapos...

Strangers and pilgrims on the earth
Not as famous as Mrs. Butterworth
Not as strong as Mr. Clean
Cannot sing like Jimmy Dean

Who am I? I ask myself
Feeling small as a Keebler Elf
Instant replay of my life
Shows I’m...

MY SPIRIT SINGS

Almond eyes speak: "Take me home please--
bonnie green fields where I may wander,
chasing butterflies and darting dragonflies
dearly gazing to blue and orange streak skies.
Everyday, I will find some daffodils
fixing and tucking one to...

As cold as it gets on Planet Zero
Light years away from home alone
Crystal clear diamond mountains glow
Over jagged black landscapes of granite
A green sun emanates illusions of blue
No warmth in winter or...

A Klingon Lullaby Of Love

Still pumping life under the old volcanic fight

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 maghapon ikaw ang laman ng isip ko
Sa gabi, sa pagtulog, ikaw pa rin ang laman ng utak ko,

Hindi ko alam bakit nasumpungan kita.

Duly respected by others of his kind.
Deeply loved by me, my family, and friends.

His name wasn’t Lassie, but he too was smart.

Matatapos na ang tag-init
Bubuhos na muli ang malalakas na ulan
Ang mga uhaw na lupa’y madidiligan nang muli
Ang mga bitak na naukit sa init ay pagtatagpuin nanamang muli
Ang mga nanunuyot na ilog ay aapaw nanamang muli

Tag-ulan...

Matagal na panahong minimithi ni ina,
Tinataglay na kabutihan sa aking mata
Kailan sa akin ang iba'y makikisama
Kung wlang kabutihan akong pinapakita
 
Kahit ang sarili ko'y 'di ko rin nakikilala
Sino npa ba ang iba, at ano rin...

Nung unang mga pag titinginan

Ang magandang babaeng kung ngumitiy,
Parang wala ng bukas na paroroon 
Iba ang...
