Premium Member Love Is In Air, As Sparkle Eyes Cherish Their Meet

Love is in air, as sparkle eyes cherish their meet

                   He sat at the beach leisurely painting the bay

                Blues and purples he mixes with touches of gray

              With melody of music, he dances his brushes along

            Up out of story book tiptoes  a beautiful lady in a tong


                   His heart skips a beat at the triple treat

                 She shaped her red fabric as she took a seat

                  It was a beautiful sunny day on her face

                Everything about her was perfectly in place


                  What are you painting over there mister

              Her voice, lying on a pillow, soft as a whisper

              Oh, I'm a painting a beautiful picture of us

               As he whited out his canvas with his brush



                    She smiled and liked his confidence and desire

                    He painted two hearts intertwined and on fire 

                She grabbed his hand for every rhyme and reason

             Cupids arrow touches them both this valentine season 


                   Angel dust replaces the sand at their feet

             Love is in air, as sparkle eyes cherish their meet

          The last line the couple joked, on their play on words

              Off into the sunset they flew, like two lovebirds

Premium Member Our Swan-Song

Singing our song, let us take all along
Gods pranic force flows through each beings veins
Love and light within, amplifies Ohm gong
Purity of heart, cleansing erst soul stains

Let us break free of delusional chains
Amidst hues of love, is where we belong
Head melded with heart reduces our pains 
Singing our song, let us take all along

Pulse of our conscience, discerns right from wrong
Futile is pursuit of all transient gains
Shedding off weakness, let us emerge strong
Gods pranic force flows through each beings veins

Mindful presence, slowly wisdom ingrains
God beckons us, why do we take so long
Let us hand over to Him, free will reins
Love and light within, amplifies Ohm gong

Let’s plunge into the bliss current headlong
Once ego vaporises, what remains
Prayer moment to moment, thus lifelong 
Purity of heart, cleansing erst soul stains

Lay to rest pilgrim, feeble ego’s brains
Extract deep wisdom by the divine’s tong
God is our saviour, each life breath maintains 
Bliss for eternity, we thus prolong
Singing our song

Sa Likod Nitong Politika

Malimit kitang tinutukso kaibigan
Subalit madalas ka namang minamasdan.
Akala mo laang na wala kang halaga,
Kabaligtaran pagkat labis na mahal ka.

Oo,tinutukso ka sa’yong pagkatao,
Sinasaktan pa mula ilong hanggang puso.
Kahit man ika'y halos mapatay sa tukso,
Paumanhin pagkat lahat yaon ay biro.

Halimaw akong palagi kang sinasakal,
Yunuyurakan minsan iyong puri’t dangal.
Subalit hirang sampu niring kamalian,
Katut’hana’y labis-labis kitang mahal.

Totohanan ‘tong sigaw ko na “MAHAL KITA!”,
Oo, dinig ng Diyos tangi kong Prensesa
 Katutuhanan sa likod ng politika,
Ang sa puso’y totoong itinatangi ka.

654 The 4th Period of the Pre-Spanish Era of Philippine History: Contact with Great Asian Nations

654.

The 4th Period of the Pre-Spanish Era of Philippine History:

Contact with Great Asian Nations



Aside from neighboring Southeast Asian civilizations

Pre-Spanish Philippines also had contact with great Asian nations

They were the Indians, the Chinese & the Japanese

We also got remarkable contributions & heritage from these



Great Pre-Spanish religion we adopted from India

The pantheon of gods & the godhead Bathala

The use of turban, veil & jewelry

Words, numbers & foods from this big country



Great Pre-Spanish economy we adopted from China

Mining, smithing, gambling, tong, tawaran, taya

The use of gong, fan, umbrella & slippers

Words, foods, ancestor worship & firecrackers


Great Pre-Spanish industry we adopted from Japan

Agriculture & manufacturing from the Land of the Rising Sun

They instructed us that fishes & ducks can be cultured

They also taught us that tools & arms can be manufactured



This is the 4th Period of Pre-Spanish Era – Contact with Great Asian Nations

Food, clothing, materials, culture, customs & traditions

From great countries was endowed to us long ago

God initiated the Philippines as part of a great farrago.

The beginning to the end

My start in life was not round here, 
Newcastle was my home, 
But now I've spent 20yrs in washington where I roam, 
Now I wonder what is left, 
A hopeless future at its best, 
A big part missing cruelly took, 
Plucked from life with a baited hook,
20yrs and it ends this way, 
With no one by my side today, 
3years ago and all was fine, 
A loving family spending time, 
We had our problems all families do,
Without a challenge you won't get through, 
But one big problem had us beat, 
Cervical cancer we had to greet, 
The biggest upset was it's stage, 
The worst stage 4 was off the page, 
We just knew it was so bad, 
There was no magic spell we had,
So all I could do for my love, 
Was go beyond and up above, 
We were happy with what we had, 
Our son still has his mam and dad, 
The family bond worked well together, 
It led us forward in life for ever, 
When a problem came to light, 
We managed to solve it and get it right, 
The two of us we were a team, 
So strong together it would seem, 
We solved our problems we'd think it through, 
As proud parents that's what you do, 
But that one day it all went wrong, 
As the saying goes "it went Pete Tong ",
The nightmare started at the clinic, 
Sat in reception with a look of panic, 
Time stood still as the verdict was read,
All the results was everything you dread, 
The feeling of real shock, 
Never felt it before, 
Such a kick in the face as we walked out the door, 
That was the first of a catalogue of bad news, 
It was now that the cancer would start to abuse, 
My partner hung on and battled away, 
But the cancer won over on the 5th of May.

Cecil County Maryland

(Land that doth marry mother lode 
of sublime earthen land and sea).
 
Age of exploration 
   ushered cruel fate 
   against “red” men living 
   in bliss by agents

   patch of eden north 
   o the Mason Dixon line 
   latitude: 39.64839 
   longitude: -75.95591 alee

 perchance designed 
   by divine providence 
   with dyslexic humorous bents
   Cecil county Maryland
 
   lies like plump backward letter “e”
witnessed topographic erosion 
   pocked imprimatur marked 
   meteorological dents

   thru inundation of 
   oceanographic propensities 
   melding coastline like the Galilee
in particular by Chesapeake Bay, 

   that body of water 
   abutting like natural fence
   first witnessed by captain 
   John Smith in 1608
 
   mistaking himself tong tied 
   in sole of Italy 
learned faux pas, when crossing paths 
   with Susquehannas hence,

   offered tobacco sticks to natives 
   while recovering 
   from injured wounded knee
said other sundry tribes curiously eyed
 then (I utilized poetic license)
 took smoke from packet of Kents
   which twist on actual 
   historical facts manipulated by me
but more truthful account awash
   and replete with more
 
   than interspersed nonsense
   and incorporates tract situated 
   in so called Fertile Crescent – see
 settled by Europeans of English stock,
 
   who emigrated with nary a pence
   “taming” shrew like “noble savages” 
    plied Leviathan sized ukuleles
whose might exploited for felling forests, 
   which timber built cabins with vents.

Premium Member The Rocket

Paul and Charlotte are up in the Rocket
Paul's barking out the orders
Right Charlotte, Under no circumstances, touch that socket
Okay Paul
It’s Sir to you
Now, I’m off for a kip
You’re on watch, now skip
That’s not fair 
A girl has to tong her hair
He’ll never know
Little tong and a blow
See, stupid prat
Oops, what’s that
The Rocket has stopped
Oh, Sir! Paul
Think there’s been a malfunction
We seem to be heading down the junction
You touched that socket
A black hole is taking my Rocket
In your dreams, Paul
I’m out of your orbit
You’ve done it, Charlotte
It’s bust
God, you're obsessed with getting me undressed
Put that back in your pocket
It’s my sprocket
Is that what they call it
I’m going down
Not on me, I finish at three
If I can get it back to warp five
We might get out of this alive
Are you talking about the Rocket
That thing in your pocket, the sprocket
Give me a hand
God, what don’t you understand
Take a cold shower
You’re not getting my flower
Is that the power
Oh, Sir! Paul
I’m alive
You’ve taken me to a height that’s greater
Hold on a minute
Were you not wearing trousers
When we entered the Simulator.

Premium Member soul’s song

Be mindful of heart contractions
Wary of ego’s distractions
Discard doubt and fear we stand strong
As life rolls on, let’s sing our song

There’s nothing out there, all’s within
Go in hermit, go in, go in
Within heart resounds, God’s bliss gong
As life rolls on, let’s sing our song

Stand firm and erect in life’s storm
We make our touch tender and warm
Leave none behind, take all along 
As life rolls on, let’s sing our song

May head and heart act hand in glove
The litmus test is always love
Discern oh hermit, right from wrong
As life rolls on, let’s sing our song

Silence alone can set us free
Unshackling soul from our mind tree
Remove delusion with truth’s tong 
As life rolls on, let’s sing our song

Cave of heart is where we belong
As life rolls on, let’s sing our song

Premium Member China Spies and Lies

China Spies and Lies

Concentration camps in the north
disappearing book sellers in the south
Chinese spies hunt one and all
Army of thieves , worldwide

Zhao Ziyang, where is he?
erased from Chinese history
where is the brave young man
who battled one thousand tanks?

Xu Jiatun, where is he?
erased from Chinese history
truth has no play in China today
only death and propaganda reign

Xi Jinping, crimes against humanity
Lu Shaye, propogandist to the core
Leaders of a revolution long dead
corruption their cause, their only rules

Coal plants and cigarettes
Keep your silences
even you may lose your breath
This is China, spies and lies

Premium Member Soul View

‘Show me God’, said the atheist
‘Here, in the now’, he did insist
‘Else admit, randomness of fate’
Taking the gauntlet, here’s the gist

Desires entice, we take the bait
It’s a rat race, so who’ll wait
Bemused, we ask not, who we are
Far cry it seems, is heaven’s gate

Looking back at life, lived so far
With fears and desires, we did spar
Joy and suffering, both fleeting
Permanent joy, too high a bar

We see form debilitating
Life fleeting and time’s a wasting
So resting thought, enter silence
Exhausted of thus oscillating 

Arousing inner sentience
Rekindling innate innocence 
We’re charged with bliss throbs in fullness 
Revealing soul’s luminescence 

One with oneness, in blissfulness 
In continuum of stillness 
Ego shorn, we become twice born
Transmuted is our awareness

Hark in our heart, the soundless horn
God in-dwells form that we adorn
God alone is, love His essence 
Truth’s tong, plucks out ignorance thorn
