Clairvoyant the love,
Which nature can give,
Which you can heave,
In the heart very deep.


Caress it with your presence,
In this bivouac,
Asseverate your presence,
With the hymn’s in its favour,
Rejoice yourself in this oblation,
Of its creator....

Tis a grand vocation 
to be an inspiration 

Tis a winsome aspiration
 may be an oblation

May take some time 
along with perspiration

Along with dedication
may come a solved equation

Tis a winsome aspiration
may come with some elation.

Tis a grand vocation
to be an inspiration.

"Seventeen is the Lucky N

Love is veneration without constraint.
Incidental canvas mixing the paint.
Empath Aura, Lamenting Aurora.
Idyllic strength in Weakness blown restraint.
Seven wings lifted in your salvation.
Under pillow weeping willow-  supine.
Ten Carnal winds, gusts through oblation-mine.

o poetic dear-
you are my oblation 
here, in this temple 
this is mind, 
this is a heart, 
this is the inner inn of diction
 
you are my worshiping motion 
you are my words 
you are my wisdom 
I love you in my garden of work 
I love you in my learning park 
you, the poem 
you, the poetic heaven
every I mark you
in the grove of Elysium

To please the feet
A carpet is laid
To please the eyes
A carpet is laid
To please the ceremony
A carpet is laid
To please the dignitaries
A carpet is laid
To please the honoured guests
A carpet is laid
The carpet
Stepped flat and smeared
Is never to be overlooked
As it's a symbol of
Beauty, wealth, authority and solemnity
But a carpet isn't the best oblation for god
Except one's piety...

With Your approval, sealed by Your favour
My faith, Lord, meets Your gaze of illumining fervour
Yielded I am for Your guidance in my endeavour
Offering to You my service as oblation of sweet savour*.


*Ephesians 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

Clock that dangle in dates
Kept me in wait.
The key that hanged in door lock 
Handcuff me in whimpering.
Rain which mirrors in earth face
Burden me in nostalgia.
The freshness wind that sweetly 
Rubbed night's ankles,
Put me down in the flame.  
Dawn, who fell naked from time
Handed me - as oblation to sleep.
 
And you who skillfully thief, 
Embezzled my mouth's rose.
Left me as a poppy pale  on your banks....

Sampaguita...for the shortest while, eternal;

           blissful enigma, serene beauty, 

                       paradisiacal.


Dew-kissed white petals lift its fragrant oblation,

               gratitude, prayer and hope 

                     of a troubled nation.


Blossoming, beaming  upward to see the sky smile,

         Sampaguita...eternal for the shortest 

                              while!...

Until I met my lucious lover
I was ambivalent about having another.
My last affair was bittersweet.
My arcane pain I kept discreet.

This one however is quintessence.
My desires awoken from quiescent.
Although I'm flamboyant, he makes me shy.
An intercessor I'll need, I know a guy.

He'll tell him how tactile I can be.
Sweet, loveable, passionate me.
If unsuccessful, I will consume libation.
Become an oblation by immolation....
