Long Sating Poems

CAUGHT IN THE REIGN

“am i a real princess?” she articulates.
the painting, on her canvas nails, pains her.
firm fountain of toenails are just fine.
shrugs, “who knows why!?”
her lashes, feel the flecks, of mascara.
her skin itches at...

The story begins when I was a young man,
personal chirurgeon for Prince Malistare,
when the Kingdom of Blenum faced rebellion
in the west, among the peasants out there.

The king sent an army, led by his first-born,
I was...

Six months gone now since that dark night, I was kitchen-bound for a bite
Hoping I in icebox there a slice of pumpkin pie could score –
While I searched, I heard a ringing, an insistent ding-a-linging,
Louder...

OH, DEFECTS, DIVINE!
  Oh, fabulous fallibilities!
    You, so perfectly imperfect ...

Like a rill in the rain,
  Its path unestablished 'til the sky opens,
    Yet its purpose is...

12 BARS

Twelve  brazen bars, one frozen lock!
Confined, sublime, an ancient Roc
endures inside a barren cage,
her catacomb in sundown sage.

Of former days there is no trace
except displays of fallen grace –
Twelve dreams, abiding in her...

Its whispering gentle 
 through breeze to leaves
rustling each to a frenzied clamor
 Can you hear the heightened sound?
Inaudible then so loud...so Loud!!
  So loud you cant hear at all
As the days slip past...

The moon looms like a half-lidded eye
Casting silver light on an otherwise dark night
I embrace the kiss of the stars
As my skin gives off an ethereal glow

Into the urban jungle I go
For I am like...

Summer is ending, so begins fall
I am scared that the season will begin at all
Surrounded by people, and flinch at a call
Sit in a dark room with a chair at the wall
Should be outside with...

ITATAMA PABA O TAMA NA?

kahit alam kong my mahal kanang iba...

ipaglalaban parin ba kita ? 
o talagang tama na para sating dalawa.. ?

gustong gusto ko parin na maging tayo..
kahit na alam...

Outdoor party, music playing, couples dancing, bodies swaying
to the melody portraying in the evening’s raucous hum.
Cocktails flowing without saying, fruity drinks on guests are preying,
soon a dizziness conveying fueled by Captain Morgan’s rum;
mind conveying thoughts...

As The Years Into Fading Mists So Quickly Flew

This way to Heaven's paradise old road sign said
I blind by flesh-en birth, trod dusty roads instead
down the by-ways, through waiting purple-crested hills
as vagabond adventurer seeking new...

The devil walks 
gets tired
and sits,
and while the devil sits
the devil picks up a tired fruit
rotting, and with jagged nails he peals
slowly, the tender fruit bruising
and he tastes it, smacking his dried lips
and the devil...

Here looking inwards while sitting in wards.
Never bored watching bulletins and staring out the window at the billboards with eyes that's been pulled before and my thoughts still talk forth.
Still taunted and real torn. My...

Hungry taste of wanderlust,
Roams within this flesh,
Can’t stop now, have to go on—
I haven’t seen it yet.
Where I stop next, I don’t know
Can’t even make a prediction,
Just something new before my eyes
Sating this addiction.

Homes I...

An ask of mine needs urgent sating
I don’t mean to blashpeme or be rude
But when God was done and dusted creating
And he looked and saw that “it was good”
What was he looking at?

Were his eyes...

I waved a silent song
past its strongest heights
For a sating revision
of a shy sound to ignite
Asks for melodic tense,
for its sequence of time 
heaves a better song
and lights up a star-deprived 
haze 
regardless of time,
Promises

I’m trapped in this nightmare,
A never ending dream of violence. 
Is it because you don’t care,
That I constantly receive silence?
I’ve looked to hope,
I’ve looked to fate. 
At the end of my rope,
I feel your benevolent...

A Piece Of Yesterday

Petrichor calls, I'll savor lungfuls.

I'll not today, only wallow in nostalgia;
usual lone figure in dark overcoat,
homeward from a maddening boss,
humming to the rhythm of my steps.

Listen to the musicality of the drops

A Shining Star


I saw you from afar like a star silently hanging in the onyx blue midnight sky, up high out of reach shining light, distant yet bright subtle warmth, a fire in winters time.

There's a stirring within the herd
They sense the rains are on their way
Lush pastures their thinking conferred
Soon masses in migration display
Such desires go so undeterred
Marching bovidae, determination 
The Serengeti's their destination

Columns roam like wandering shadows
Skirted...

Gracious smiles, a waiter waiting.
The service: quite nice actually.
The drinks cool and food sating
My average appetite factually;

Who knew they had coca cola here
In the middle of the desert... odd
Isn’t it? I ordered water and beer
And...

All the long and lonely winter, hearts
beckon with wishes for Spring.
Chilled beneath a blanket of snow,
deep dark and cold,
echoes of a robin's warble and 
fleeting dreams of hazy mornings
grip my memories where
hammocks slowly swing
in a...
