past breaking point wound up to the limit ~ the hour hand passed a minute
said the second hand to the pendulum ~ who snapped, it’s spring time innit
By
David Kavanagh
You and I are natural born poets
Established from the Words of God
A void-full of nothingness
Then love took away the darkness
You and I are a-natural work of art
Chiseled from, mercy-full-of-grace
From dust to the dawn of the Holy Spirit
Inherited to dream life up, to the limit
You and I are natural shoe-makers
Captains and masters and chiefs
We make rules where rules are made
And make homages to what Jesus’s-life, paid
You and I are natural home-makers
Leaving no stones or pebbles, unturned
But who’s the most natural in God’s point of view
Naturally, it’ll be a tie, between me and you
By:Wilbert Evangelista Dela Cruz
she is short
in other words she is hot
when shee caries an African pot
my body looses salt
her smile is never ending
as her love is never fading
since she never likes to see me falling
as I hold while she is vibrating
she acts shy
but me and her we are so fly
up to the limit we feel so high
but we always remember to say hi
all the people say she is mean
at least that how she is seen
even you say she is thin
but my heart she will always win
she likes to observe
although we don’t meet at a reserve
but she never gets on my nerve
since we will meet at a cave
she is polite
as everything she does it right
she likes not to answer my call at night
we don’t even have a fight
Through the shimmering veil of time
Traversing the star dusted sky
Twinkling as they quickly shoot by
To charm the path of the heart's flight.
Roaming suddenly free of fear
Revived by a warm current stream
Rescuing the soul from the sea's
Ravenous hunger for sunbeams.
Unveil the shimmer of twilight's
Uncanny glow that keeps us tied
Up to the limit of past time's
Unfavorable sight, stressing flight.
Embrace the gold streams of sunbeams
Emanating from the heavens' new gleam
Erasing the lies we've believed
Entrusting the love that we feel.
