Premium Member A Poem Upon My Nose

As noses go, I’d say mine is okay
if it is viewed by someone from the front.
But if you look at it another way,
it’s not so wonderful; let me be blunt.

My nose is long, and if you’re in a place
where other women are along with me,
take note of how my nose fits on my face.
Sideways it could be the longest you’ll see.
.
Imagine please, if you will, a Roman nose,
which means a nose that is a little bent.
A nicer-sounding word for it I suppose
is “aquiline.” But what by that is meant?

For me, the word “aquiline” sounded chic.
But then I looked it up and got a shock.
I learned it means shaped like an eagle’s beak,
which is also larger than that of a hawk.

What in my DNA presupposes
that I have Italian blood, which I have not?
Most of my sisters have short, cute noses.
Why is it that a Roman nose I got?

Few great actresses have a nose like mine,
but I can think of one whose look is great.
Barbara Streisand – is her nose divine?
That’s a nose folks either love or hate!

That bump - that famous bump! Streisand never
had plastic surgery to make it small.
My role model is she. I endeavor
to love my nose. It stands out – after all!

Premium Member Role Models - Then and Now

In school when I was being raised
the role models who then were praised
were the American icons—
George Washington, “I cannot tell a lie”
Honest Abe, a straight-shooting kind of guy
Later we heard Jimmy Carter testify
“I’ll never tell a lie …”
For my generation and prior
they raised the bar higher
Honesty was the best policy

That was then
This is now …

When caught in a lie
deny
When accusations resound
double down
When proof’s presented
get inventive
When they continue to confront
cry witch-hunt
When they accuse you of a crime
deflect each time
When they bring more claims
call them demeaning names
over and over
and over and
over and over
and over again
Nothing to lose
You may even win …

But lying is still a sin

Best to extol the role model
who always gets it right
(then and now)
Jesus — ‘The way, the truth, the life!’

Premium Member To My Mother

To my mother
From perspective of a son






How could I forget 
the pain she took for me,
Bringing me into this world
to savour life in glee,
Fed on her blood and milk
as I opened my eyes,
Her heavenly smile erased 
my tears and intense cry,

Nurtured with selfless love 
I was no more a boy,
She is still my dream girl 
though her youth has passed by,
Gracious grey hair
maturity of thoughts,
We recall fun and giggles
on many funny plots,

She knows all my wants
and every moment I sigh,
Strong emotional bond
always been my pride,
Her one touch
and mountains can move,
Possible without wings
flight she can prove,

Salute to all women 
as I grow into a man,
Mother, the procreator
His best creative plan,
X of her strength I inherit
in my each cell,
My role model she is
inspires me to excel!

My Mother

My Mother

Sometimes I sense my mother 
When I walk into a room
Lily of the Valley lingers
Her favourite perfume

I really wish she was still here
So I could apologize
For all the many times
When we didn't see eye to eye

I had so much troubling me
But I chose to keep it in
Now I sit and ponder
On how different things could have been

I hated seeing her in pain
It was all beyond my control
I hope that she passed knowing
I loved her with my heart and soul

I'm putting down on paper
What I could not say aloud
I hope that if she were still here
I would make her proud

Mere words can not express
Just how much I regret
Losing my mum, my role model,
Who I never will forget

Fifteen Years On

On the 17th of September
Thats the day you grew your wings,
And now all we have left
Is our beautiful memories and those sentimental things.
It broke our hearts but surely made us stronger,
As we all know the saying its absence that makes the heart grow fonder.
We got through it all, all as one but today's the day you left us fifteen years on.
Pain in our hearts,
tears down our face,
There is no one on this planet
that could ever take your place.
Your one in a million with that heart of gold, I wish I could of held you till the day you turned old.
My mother, my role model, my number one queen.
You sure was the most beautiful women this world had ever seen.

Challenge

Who Am I To You?

Am I just a stranger?
An online lover or a nobody 
That once who passes by 
In a lifetime of your stream ?

Maybe a poet?

A woman only good in sweet words.
Easily fooled by his own feelings,
And by the world that often says
I am just another plaything?

A con artist? A pervert? A toy? Or
Perhaps, one of your movie character 
That portrays your imagination
In a stage play of fantasy and dreams?

I am not perfect.
This is reality.
I am not a role model.
I have lapses and flaws.

I am not the woman of your past.
I can't look like her  or be like that.
I am not whole, I am also broken 
And still have  issues of my own .

But the truth is, all of us
Needs to be loved and trying to love
In one way or another, our denials 
That we keep telling ourselves 
Will be defined by time and memories,
If we're truly happy of being alone.

If not, then tell me 
Who am I to you?
Please tell me what we have
Is true, before I go...

Who You Are To Me?

I find myself in thy manger
You are a modern Peabody 
Whose pen aids to dye
My board with awesome dream

You are more than a poet! 

The one out of all beautiful birds
That freely flies around the earth's ceiling 
Unlike the caged birds with less ways
Timely been abating

The twist, the challenge, the fruit outpour 
Enough pieces crushing like a constrictor 
Holding unto a great aspiration 
Flowing through grace so agleam

I am not only for prospect
This may be false in its seeming triviality 
I am not a mollycoddle 
Yet have respect for tight clause 

You become of me, an enthusiast
With keen interest not eyeing to scat
Even when all of it is token 
Bountiful harvest are from vial seeds, sown

Nevertheless, in my fuss
I will always be the real dove
And not act up for trials 
Abandoned on shelves 
The much ado about plight in diaries 
Crying for reading to be well known 

Life is short, let it be
Less to the review 
More to life shouldn't really be halve 
Totality is key to overlook every foe 

You are who you are
Keep doing what you know best
Someday, you will be the shining star
Silent helpers locate what resisters detest 

Shine on.........

Our Golden Times During PDu30



Behold the One with the Aries, the Ward of Santa Muerte

Our 16th President voted by 16 million Filipinos this 2016

The 1st President from Mindanao from being Mayor of Davao…Duterte!



He is One with MiJoRdGr (Miriam, Jojo, Rody, Grace)

The 4 Opposition Presidentiables who defeated Mar Roxas

And brought Liberal Party its great disgrace!



The One with the Aries from the Land with War

The Land of Promise – feared by typhoons, but filled with goons

So from her came a Liberator among MiJoRdGr!



That this One should war with our nation's greatest horrors

-Drug Lords, Liberals, Treasoners, Criminals & Terrorists-

These powerful entities to our history are desecrators!



So by being one with lawmakers, law enforcers & lawful people

By the overwhelming power of the Supermajority


Our country's greatest terrors…Du30 shall conquer them all!



But first, he must defeat his detractors – Leila, Leni & Trillanes

These triple crooks who want to topple the government

Are also said to be conspiring with EU, UN & US!



Yet with Trump's triumph, US is no longer an enemy

Our American hatred weakened, our Chinese friendship strengthened

As it established great friendship with Pres. Du30!



Do not emulate the girl power of those Liberal crooks

We got an Olympic medalist Heidilyn & Ms. International 2016

But Leila & Leni?...Can only ruin our country…like blasted nukes!



Do not worry for we have Pacquiao as still winner & role model

Alongwith Gen. Bato, a victim of yellow washing machine

But these Pro-Du30 men…to criminals tough, to innocents gentle!



May God allow this True Change to take place with continuity

Let Pres. Duterte lead us for many more years to come

For the Supermajority, for you & me… for our country!

Premium Member Father's Day

Fatherly advice you would bestow
Ambiguous though it would be at times
Tactful ways you would employ
Heart-to-heart we’d have discussions
Emotional sometimes they’d be
Rational mostly, the fruit of humble simplicity
Seeds of wisdom scattered to the winds

Daddy's little girl, still after all these years
Appreciating my role model throughout life’s lessons
Youth forever in my heart ~ Happy Father’s Day!

My Wife My Life

Your the anchor underneath
 Though am the boat they see

Your the switch on the wall 
Though am the light they see

Your the aroma they feel 
Though am the blossom they see 

You are beautiful.
Whatever better man I better
It's your pleas that mend

Your faithfulness and patience
 what else can a man ever dream? 

A godly woman you are
A mature lady 
I learn from 

Can I spend more time with you.
You’re the fun I long for

You make wonderful things.
What a wonder you are 

You are a deep river
You flood my destiny 
And bring out the best in me.

My favorite place to be 
My greatest story is you
For I wouldn’t be half the man I am without you.

You make loving fun
Shall I come we play? 
You complete me
You are my world each day

I value your insight.
For you have a lot to give
I admire your inner strength
You the courage I know 

 You my role model
In the story of love they tell
You are an amazing mother
Blessed are our children to have you 

You’re my best friend
I don’t know what I would do without you.
For you make me a happy man.

I’m amazed at the women you’ve become.
You accomplish a lot in me

Let the world stop so that I can still say
My wife She is My Life

Children Are In Need Contest

Born into a world filled with deceit,
Morals that are becoming obsolete,
Tossed into a cycle of hatred and fear,
Poverty promotes some of our children to steal,
Not one child is an accident, God already new,
The hardships in life they would go through,
Not one is the same; they all have an original DNA,
There is a Purpose for every child even if they are lead astray.

Many live in a home with a single mom,
Growing up to fast like a ticking time bomb,
Latch key kids and after school care,
Is not enough love and can’t certainly prepare,
Our children with the tools they need to survive,
In a competitive world where you need an excellent drive,
Many pretend that their children are fine,
That they have not been affected in their heart, spirit and mind.

Parents are in denial,
While their children get defiled,
Young girls hanging out on the streets,
Being physically and emotionally beat,
Selling their dignity just to feel like a male figure cares,
Teenage boys don’t know how to love; they too had no one there!

Help a child that you know is in distress,
You could make the difference in their success,
Be a role model and a friend,
It does not take much too slightly bend,
A conversation and friendly smile,
May save a child from adapting to a wrong lifestyle.
