Ode to AaliyahShe is not made of atoms,
but aftermaths—
the kind that linger in a room long after
the lights remember to flicker back on.
Her spine?
An origami of fallen yesterdays,
creased by collapse,
but folded forward into flight.
They call it resilience,
but she knows better—
it’s architecture,
a cathedral of nerve built from
"this will not break me,"
hummed on repeat until it didn’t.
She speaks fluent...

Life Must Go OnKeep life moving forward
Even if it's going the way
Not the same with before
Sometimes, be aggressive
To build up armour for self
Sometimes, being gentle
To feel relatable with others
Sometimes, play the fool
To see the true colors of many
Life isn't always good
It depends on whom you turn to....

Smile Though The World Is AchingMany times, I been wounded in life
But you have never seen me sad
I'll always cover it up with a smile
Many people ask me if I don't get hurt
I said it's hurt, but why stay sad
I can break my heart if I will
But in the world where values so strong
I take permission not to be persuaded
Let...

Blood in the valley
“Blood in the sacred Valley”- Blood on us
We came as tourists, hearts so wide,
With sandalwood and faith as guide;
To Pahalgam, where rivers sing,
We brought no sword, we wore no ring.
Just saffron threads and folded hands,
A hope to touch our sacred lands;
But prayers were drowned by bullets’ cry,
And mountains watched our children die.
They struck from...

Hidden StarsI did not ask
for the world to stop —
just for the echo to answer.
but silence
grew its own wings.
so i followed
the quiet,
to the river,
to wild grass,
to birds that sing
before dawn.
there,
i learned something
soft and strong:
that I can keep walking
even if the stars stay hidden
Now—
I walk not to be followed,
but to feel the ground
under my feet.
To breathe
and know:
i...

TRUMP'S HANDS WIELD THE POWER
Soft and smooth, freshly manicured with
No trace left behind of struggle or woe;
Hard to gauge the multitude of daily trials
Or the enormous good and success bestowed.
He’s not afraid to let harsh enemies see his strength.
Strong and firm, his grasp telegraphs immaculate powers,
His steeled convictions and unyielding determination,
And the hell that might rain down in furious...

Stellar ResilienceIn the vast expanse of life's dark space,
Be patient, tough, like stars that grace
The endless night with steady light—
Guiding you through the hardest fight.
This pain, a comet's fiery trail,
Will blaze a path where dreams prevail.
For one day, through the cosmic storm,
Your strength will shine, your heart transform....

Marathon of EnduranceIt's easy to find those who'll sprint,
To the end, with a heroic gleam,
But to run the long race,
With a steady, patient pace,
Is a rarer and more noble dream....

The Rising Dome
Where rice fields once stretched, a vision arose,
A dome of grandeur where spirit bestows.
The Philippine Arena, a monument bright,
A beacon of hope in day and in night.
From humble beginnings, a nation's strong hand,
Raised up a marvel, a jewel in the land.
Steel and concrete, a symphony grand,
A stage for the people where dreams understand.
In echoes of...

Cross of GnosisThe debt of soul to Nebro came through the cross of gnosis
Through strength of spirit, though no mortal sacrifice could pay that debt
Christ the vine became that tree of gnosis to pay the debt

Great Family TreeSpring and Summer those seasons went by
The best thing in the world always falls from the sky
No matter the situation, the love was theirs
The price was no luxury for the poor boys and girls
To sit up and prosper with such a delight
It grew up so fast, like a thief in the night
Many more came from...
