Monocrostic (Birthday of May Panganiban)
The path is clear
But the intentions are blocked
Will wait for an answer
Before the question is thought
With all my being
Ive been torn and rought
My blades are sharp
To sharpen them tho i fought
There is no wager that can't be fleeced
Or journey that can't be dreamed
A path of a thousand paths
But one fulfilled can be deemed
It would with the greatest of feelings
It would hope for the redeemed
But my journey's end is violence
Will not fulfill what it seems
Brought to me this morning
Lighting up my day
Under wraps so warming
Everything to say
Bereft the night before
I missed the conversation
Returned to me once more
Delighted with elation
Man has built the beast
Rought from blood and bone
sweat and tears of creation
man has built the engines that
feast on the body blood marrow
stars die as empires rises from the east
cold bathing all in holocaustic light
hollow inside covering
all in ashes, flesh and mascara
Horror!
Born to none the engines feast
mechanical heart thumping
slave to the engines beat
The singularity of one flesh and machine
Under a bloated red sun walking in silhouette
Fear coming from the East
as cruel Crimson tears flow
As the infernal engines humms
When the engines feast
Man has built the beast
bought in blood and bone
sweat and tears creation of one
man has built the engines
they feast on the body blood marrow
Valhalla starts to die as empires
rises from the east
When the engines feast
The walk along the road,
Full of twists and turns,
Woods on either side,
Around the corner yet more road,
He has walked this rought many times,
It always seems never ending.
No cars no people quiet as can be,
Not even animal sounds,
Looking up seeing sun through the canopy,
It's hot and so humid he needs a drink.
The road is shaded by the trees,
Its cooler on this road a longer way but cooler,
Yet sweat still runs down his back and face,
It's the final bend not far to go now.
Entering the glistening sun it blinds him temporarily,
He can see his destination up ahead,
Opening the door he walks on in,
Heads turn to look at him,
He has reached his goal,
Now for ...... a pint or two with his mates.

Joyous, scribing ballad
Underneath the moon
Starlight sprinkled lyric
Twilight's cosmic rune
Tending hearts romantic
Heaven's swirling shoals
Roiling objects skyward
Expanse, alighting souls
Each abiding wonder ...
Wrought amidst reprise
Omnipotent as thunder
Requited love's demise
Dazzling godlike plunder
Supernal yawning skies.

A rogue dentist called Frederick McCrouth
Brought misery to many a ones mouth
Caused his patients great pain
Done for profit and gain
Eventually their teeth all fell south.
Frederick's nickname was' dentist from hell'
Gold implants at a high price he would sell
He was caught in a trap
Is now up on a rap
Justice caught him and he's now in a cell.

S ilence sometimes brings satisfaction
O ccasionally, time for thought.
L uxuriousness~calm distraction
I nconsequential things become naught
T emptestuous seas level out
U nchoregraphed waltzes cease
D rought ended, spirit's presence sprouts
E thereal emotions come bring peace

M-emorable fourteenth September
A-ims to make you real happy;
R-emembering your birthday
I-s equivalent to an ecstasy.
V-ersatile fourteenth September
I-s also a multifaceted morn;
C-hunks of mirth and fancy brought fun when you were born.
T-hrilling fourteenth September
A-ims to excite your heart;
J-oyful feelings and cheers
A-re not going to depart.
A-mount of gladness is
L-arge for everyone to hold;
C-omplete comfort comes
A-s the dawn warms the cold.
N-ever forget the occasion,
T-ry not to leave the big day;
A-ttend the special affair,
R-apture takes the night
A-way.
T-otal pleasure and delight
A-re all given to your life;
B-rought brightness to your mind
I-s keeping you safe from strife.
N-otable shining moment remains to be good reminder;
G-reeting you in remarkable and memorable fourteenth September.
