Premium Member Follow the Light

Silence screams
Deafening the sound
Of trees singing
A melody in tune with
Tender green grass

Almost as wise
As the foolish words
Warning hearts
To listen up, never fall
Into a love so deep

Drowning totally
In the joyous flow
Of river’s lapping laughter
Soothing, calming, assuring
Hopes will be forlorn

Poetry breathes
Ancient mysteries
Sincere promises alive
With hues of passion and light
Wistful and bright with rhyme

Drenching my soul
In dark, forbidden dew
Of yearning, lingering poverty
Starving for the words
Hidden beneath my verse

Whispers of doubt
Calling out to the light
Shimmering with insight
Wonders so very subtle
Faint as the softest leaf falling

Alive with zealous 
Affection for the one
Who opens the heart to give
With an unselfish honesty
Generous and bounteous

Love like this is wild
Like a willful young child
Making the mother pursue
To the ends of the gardens
And through the woods

In search of the adored
Love lingers on the air
Praying psalms to the creator
Who knows that we share
In worship that is our prayer

The harmony between words
Folded in stanzas light
And vibrant with feeling
Murmuring joy and richness
Through writers who dream visions

There are ambitions, wishes
Wise and warm and true
Who beckon to the naked hopes
Of those who know that life
Is rising up to meet the challenge

Fling away doubt and confusion
Let fear depart your heart
And smile the smile of one who knows
This time is meant for love
Love that dances like fireflies

Love that teaches the heart
To appreciate life
And listen to the sigh
Refreshing and thankful
For God’s Holy guidance

Love like this is alive
Breathing devotion and encouragement
To the soul who knows
Inspiration and insight come alive
Inside the heart who loves unconditionally


Fruitful Nights In Kidapawan

In our city at night,
One can see glowing lights,
And many busy vehicles,
Slowly moving through the streets.

Delicious barbecues for dinner,
The sizzling sounds are such a winner,
The aroma of meat makes us hungry,
And we crave it all, tender and yummy.

In our city, you can wander,
And find sights that make you ponder,
The streets are safe and secure,
With the presence of authorities, for sure.

Nestled in the heart of Mindanao,
A city where bounty never stops to flow,
From durian, pomelo, to mango,
A foodie paradise, it's hard to let go.

Kidapawan is the name,
A city of fruits that has earned its fame,
Known for its tropical treats,
Where the flavors of sweet fruits can't be beat.

Kidapawan is a gem of a city,
With natural wonders and culture aplenty,
A destination worth your time and stay,
Come and experience Kidapawan today!

Premium Member Colours of Love

With each step the beat of my heart rippled,
like gentle vapours playing with tender waves.

Her hands felt softer than Cherry blossom buds,
entwined with mine, I felt no desire to let go.
With each step, bird songs serenaded sweeter,
my eyes yearning for this path to never end.

Her timid smile released dormant sensations,
electric sparks enticed my body, soul and mind.
With each step, emotions connected deeper,
all flaws now obsolete, no inhibitions remained.

All was now transparent in our chosen province,
endless enchanted hues painted a perfect portrait.
My healed heart became a tenant for her love,
for the first time, I knew it would remain safe.

The Body of Senses

Body of senses

Motion in  faint and tender rise, sinking in endless desire,
the glow in sensuous attraction by gentle kindled fire.
Wandering aimless towards the longing bliss by imaginative mind, 
the dunes of the sensuous body speaks the language refined.
Memories in time are lost of reasons and moral ideal,
galaxies of fallen stars are the wishing phenomenal. 
The mirage of tempted longing turns to natures law courage,
when forbidden fruits reveal the tempting entourage.
Shifting the worlds in perception with a tender hand,
clinging whispering kisses become the magic wand.
Afflicting molding precious synchronicity so bare,
souls in intimate trust in this sanctuary being all fair.
Reawaken that divine force of life by celestial motions,
until its presents is felt in the vortex of sensation. 
The climax of beauty within is the art of natural chemistry,
the invisible golden tread of love takes refuge in moments to be free.

Premium Member Handle With Care

Everywhere we see the signs,
Unstable, Fragile, Caution;
So why don't people have such signs,
So folks know to take precautions.

For some folks have a real short fuse,
That's sometimes unsuspected,
And when we step on tender toes,
The reactions unexpected.

Other folks can play and tease,
And make jokes all day long,
But if you do the same to them,
You'll find that you were wrong.

With this in mind I leave you with,
Some wise and sage advice.
When dealing with most folks my friend,
Some can be un-nice.

'Cause some folks have a temper,
And unthinking oft unfair;
So no matter what your dealings,
Caution - Handle With Care.

The Superbowl Hoopla

as a GMO gluten 
   and monosodium allow
wing glutinate free 
   NON SPORTS fan, holy cow
a gentle fear shakes, rocks, 
   and trembles thru every dDhow

ting fiber of me one hundred 
   and forty five pounds (give or take a hun
dread ounces) finds me feeling 
   like a castaway 
   on an alien nation, none
share totally tubular, 

   where athletes revered 
   as holier than thou hook hen pun
which craft 
   this wordsmith doth shine, 
   and experiences the equivalent  run
tooth ha goal post, and envision 

   me octogenarian widower papa 
   paying attaboy with "way tug hoe son"
or a similar comment, 
   which unasked for unsolicited praise 
   would be worth a ton
as if this bone a fide wordsmith 
   would cherish as a sentiment hard won,

which figurative convenient truthful 
   ( Earth in the balance) tangent 
   arced geometric fender
   to express gratitude 
   (nevermind their gender),

who unwittingly boost and tearful lender
my morale doth render
akin to a  spender 
   for anonymous readers, 
   yet moost likely an appealing sender 
via flattering comments, 
   an emotional legal tender

this sensitive chap also makes apologies 
   (and steers clear) ass king for any alley byes 
unwittingly me to refrain ushering my demise
hence...THANK YOU 

   unknown gals and guys
this honest to dog statement 
   summoned deep within me...noel hies
NOR NON FAKE 
   saccharine steeped sincere lies.

Premium Member Pretty Is As Pretty Does

Pretty will give you what you need almost before you need it.
She will not enable you, she will encourage you and nurture you.
Nudging you toward what your heart wants, allowing you choices.

Pretty will role model the right way to treat other people and you will see.
She likes everybody, putting herself openly into their path, like a lamb or puppy.
She will listen. Not just pretend, but truly listen to your thoughts and feelings.

You will trust Pretty even if you trust no one else, including your own parents.
You will want to help her build a wall, because she is too tender hearted.
Because she cries when others are hurt, or disappointed. 

You will want to help Pretty toughen up, but then you realize it is the wrong thing.
She is the epitome of the ultimate care giver. She is the mama of everybody.
If you change her, she could not be her, and you need her. You really do.

Premium Member Greens of Spring

Greens of spring




Comes in spring, bloom the greens, 
Perfect hues mark flawless screens,

Tender buds now yearn to thrive,
Bees are seen humming on their hive,

Colourful butterflies anxiously flutter,
Flowers eagerly lend their nectar,

Little ones play jolly in the streets,
Sky waits for birds to fly in fleets,

Vibrant shades entice a green eye,
Hurry the gloomy clouds, dolour belies,

Calls of spring, beloved will meet, 
Drowning in love, hazel green eyes will greet !

Premium Member Such a Mysterious Thing

Love is such a mysterious thing
In vain we try to make sense
A mixture of overpowering emotions
Of passion, feelings so intense

Poets forever have tried to describe it
This joy, this absolute bliss
Expressions of an everlasting devotion
Accompanying each tender kiss

Without a doubt a passion unequaled
In the annals of all human kind
As deep as the deepest blue ocean
Love so intense it can blind

Few escape its overwhelming power
Down to the mightiest of men
They all succumb to its magical force
An overpowering force without end

Love is such a mysterious thing
In vain we try to make sense
It's a mixture of many deep emotions
Feelings so passionate, so intense

Love is such a mysterious thing...

Premium Member Calming Love Still Remains a Collaboration With Daniel Turner

So sweet the tender moments that we spend
And you, with your romantic ambiance
Filled with such love, we dare not grasp or bend
Yet neither can deny their heart's response

Alone tonight, beneath the moon and stars
My mind drifts back in time, when love was mine
Though my heart's mended, tender are the scars
I wondered if it's all been by design

Yet a sweet pattern traced upon my skin
Its cooling on this balmy day; those days
Together sung treasured memories, spin
That calming love, remains with sunlit rays.

Thank you, Daniel Turner  
For collaboration with me
