Unnamed Psalmist - a collection of what my heart speaks...

So much thoughts yet time so few
The fact that you're moving
but it's almost due

Hungry for your smile...

2011-10-14T18:17:00.002+03:00

We were together the whole night,
Our eyes have crossed several times,
You speak your language,
I speak mine.

But this thing runs into my mind,
I am hungry for your smile.

Your lips are stunning,
But it never gives a meaning.

Are you lonely for something?

If I have a chance to approach you,
I'll tell you what to do;
But it never happened,
Because I lost that courage to get near.

Your beauty is empty,
Without that smile with purity.

The next time we meet,
I'll have that courage to make you happy;
And wear that smile…
So lovely.

A Poem for Apple's Steve Jobs

2011-10-10T10:30:00.003+03:00

Five letter word starting with A,
Example of a fruit in the alphabet;
Everyone can easily guess,
First thing in mind you won't regret.

Someone had a bite on that fruit,
And it became a big dispute;
When he invented a new way to compute,
Everyone started to salute.

Just recently we heard the news,
This man leaves us in blues;
All of them who follow his shoes,
Pay homage and amazing tributes.

So whenever you see an apple,
You will probably can recall;
The man who stood tall,
Steve Jobs leaves us an example.

He changed the way we think,
Improved the way we live;
After all of what he's done,
Now, he is gone.

RIP Steve Jobs
1955 - 2011

You Embraced Me

2011-09-15T19:20:00.000+03:00

I'm all alone, inside my room,
Wondering my heart's a stone;
Then YOU came like a tone,
Starts my voice to sing a tune.

Tears fell down as I sing your song,
More beautiful than a sweet love song;
A worship, that only me can sing,
Those words, that only You can bring.

I couln't stop crying,
While I keep on singing;
It is YOU who really cares,
Never leaves, always there.

I felt the pain inside me,
Cried out load to release me;
Then YOU came to embrace me,
God, YOU embraced me.

I'm not worthy of Your love,
I have walked a different path;
But YOUR hands keep on waving,
YOU let my heart to keep on beating.

I will always remember Thee,
The moment YOU embraced me;
God embraced me dearly!
So lovely and passionately.

Memory On My Window

2011-09-09T12:27:00.000+03:00

things just happen so fast
i couldn't recall the past

while i was looking at my window
i saw that glimmering shadow

and suddenly i recall
the moment that we fall

the love we used to share
now still linger

you told me how much you care
the feeling i can't compare

and just like the shadow
that i saw on my window

it disappeared to fast
and my memory collapse

and now i'm sure
you're happy with the one you choose

the smile on my face
tells me to move to another pace

We Belong

2011-09-04T18:39:00.000+03:00

She:
Been in the middle of nowhere…
I can't find happiness from my left and right,
I turn my back and saw you,
In my mind and in my heart I see hope.

Hope that something inside me explode,
But then, again I can't contain
The feeling I felt for you still remains,
Knowing the fact that you're taken…

Him:
The moments that we shared
Memories still remains
I can still hear your laughter
Those lines that keeps my heart beating

Every minute, every hour
You're always in my mind
And the moment that we once met
I can't explain that certain excitement

Just wanna be with you
To tell you how much i missed you
How I longed for you
How I searched you

Even the (Sun) disappeared
But still the (Globe) rotates
I just pulled that (Smart) in me
In Facebook we were reunited

Smile one more time
Before the dawn stikes
I'll see you when it's time
To be with you for a lifetime.

She:
Excitement took over me
When will it's going to be
Hoping and praying to thee
That soon it will be

For today I'll be contented
Atleast our path is now connected
When you and I are now reunited
And our friendship that never ended

I'll forever be thankful to thee
That sometime In my life I met Mr.B (benchman)
A true friend in words and in deed
A treasure I'll surely keep…

Him:
What more can i say
That big smile on my face
Never been so delighted
Never been so uplifted

Happiness inside the heart of a toddler.

a cry from within

2011-05-02T22:01:00.002+03:00

memories of the past
still lingers in my mind

it is you who mold me
and gave me dignity

I left you to my regret
accused me of selfishness

while I gave you an ounce of my earnings
you ignored my homesickness

but I want you to know
I'll come back to you

to make a change
to give you hope
to be with you

forever…

Past, Present and Future in Love

2011-03-30T20:35:00.001+03:00

hear my soul speak

spontaneous indeed

the past is already fixed

the future I can't predict

the mystery unfolds

as the future holds

I remember the past

while the present collapse

time is simply the fourth dimension

and moving on a constant direction

can it be reversible in motion?

as the 2nd law of thermodynamics

love is not seen in bare eyes

but inside the heart and mind

as one of the famous lines

that love is indeed blind.

sweet encounter

2011-03-18T05:35:00.002+03:00

an experimental kind of verses

your act of beckon
   caught my attention

 moved by my intention
        with constant emotion

  I took your smile
        then I was blind

your sweet kiss
     burned my lips 

    a memorable 
  sudden
snitch

and as I lay down in my bed
   I couldn't forget your face

     that sweet encounter
           in my dream I'll embrace

A Prayer for OFWs

2011-02-24T08:19:00.000+03:00

Dear God,

You crossed every border between divinity and humanity to make your home with us. Bless our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters who have travelled to foreign lands with faith in their heart leaving their families behind as they break through the barriers of people, cultures, and languages to escape oppression and poverty.

There are many things going on that are beyond us even with our collective power. We come to thee in supplication and heartfelt pleadings as we are mindful of the ordeals of others.

We thank thee for hearing the prayers of your people as China grant reprieve to our three OFWs and may the Chinese government grant a lesser penalty to their case.

We pray for the thousands of OFWs who were incarcerated and imprisoned in the Middle East, Asia and other continents, may thou please grant them the chance to get back to their families and find a new life, justice and freedom as they entrust their lives into thy hands. May Thou enlighten our leaders to put the plights of distressed OFWs as a priority and withdraw from plans to cut the DFA social service and legal assistance funds.

We pray to Thee that our OFWs in Taiwan will soon be reprieved of taking all the heat of the current Taiwan-Philippines rift. May the government emissary would soon find resolution to this issue so that those more than five thousand scheduled for deployment will now be allowed to take on their jobs, and the nearly a hundred thousand currently employed may keep their jobs and be able to sustain their families.

We pray that may Thou please keep our overseas Filipinos safe in the escalating conflict in countries where democratic renaissance in Muslim nations is unfolding from Morocco, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain and Libya as they await the immediate repatriation efforts being taken by our government agencies.

We pray for Thy protection and guidance of the more than thirty thousand OFW’s in Libya. May their families in the Philippines be freed from fear and worries of their condition and that the OFWs safety is assured despite the worsening condition.

We pray that may Thou save from harm our Filipino workers in war torn countries of Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as OFWs in Nigeria, Somalia, Lebanon and Jordan, who have taken great risks to continue their fight against poverty to support their families in the Philippines despite of the work deployment ban imposed in these countries.

We pray for the safety of the Filipino nurses trapped in the rubbles during the earthquake in New Zealand, and the rest of the OFWs and Expats around the world who are suffering from natural calamities, diseases and injustices that they may find comfort through faith in Thee.

Hear our prayer Lord, to end the corruption that has become the plague of our nation, to end poverty that afflicts and besets Thy people, to end violence and war that displaces millions of our Filipinos from their homes, which separate, divide and break families.

As we await for the signs of time when the Filipinos around the world, the fathers and mothers brothers and sisters, and sons and daughters may be reunited as one happy family.

We pray for Thine tender love and kind mercy, with our faith, with our hope, with our love to thee, we pray for power greater than us all, we pray for divine intervention.

This is a joint call from the Pinoy Expats/OFW Blog Awards, or PEBA, Inc, along with its 300+ KABLOGS, the RMN News Bantay OFW radio program and the Blas Ople Policy Center and we are asking for your prayers or support by reposting this to your blog, posting this link in your FB, Friendster and Twitter accounts or sending this as email to your networks.

A Heart that Cares

2011-02-03T15:56:00.000+03:00

use your imagination
while reading my poem

since inside her womb
the same beat I felt before
she cares I know, I'm sure
but my heart is weak
asking her not to leave
sorrow will not fill my day
'cause she's there who always care

but age took her away
I know she will not stay
I cried when I realized
she offered her heart
in replace of mine

and forever she'll take care of me
'cause her heart is now inside of me

i miss you my Lord

2011-01-24T02:20:00.000+03:00

i miss
the moment
when i cry
you saved me with your own life
the feeling of immortality
i'll worship you eternally

with praises
that i sing
Your love
is enduring
i can't
stop crying
Your presence
is overwhelming.

I'll Worship You

read your lips - the game of writing

2011-01-22T15:10:00.016+03:00

Image from www.myhdwallpapers.net

event occur in real time
when you read your lips not mine

everything you read
runs into your head
try now and speak
and see the difference

the rhyming and mystery
it is not the contrary
but the effect of imagery
created in your memory

the essence of poetry
beyond your thoughts literally
believe in what you see
and experience the real beauty

but it seems you're wondering
is it the game of writing?

the idea of poetry writing
for me is a form of gambling
just like when you play bowling
take the spare to keep scoring

now 100 words are enough
because i reached my task
try counting the words back
hahaha you were blinded by the mask

the next time you read poetry
examine the beauty beyond reality
speak the words wisely
you will love it believe me

A new Hope under Heaven in 2011

2011-01-20T03:25:00.012+03:00

Everyone has problems. Some have bigger problems than others. There are problems with relationships (family, friend, spouse), health problems, money problems, work problems. Sometimes even the problem of others we take it as our own as if our personal problems are not enough, it keeps on coming and we cannot control it either.

We Filipinos are jolly and tried to skip some problems but still worried about the future.

Some of us went abroad to find solutions to some problems, even a teacher will become a caregiver or a doctor will become nurse and eventhough we are far, still there are problems.

In some cases, most Japanese Nationals commit suicide due to depression, but we Filipinos, a few commits. We have this character of perseverance.

Don't be discouraged my friend! That is not the plan of God. Here's what the Bible says: Jeremiah 29:11

God Made You for a reason.

No matter what you are now or what has happened to you in the past, He has a plan and purpose for you. God loves you and He wants you to live a fulfilling, joyful, and content life despite the problems that you have, in the midst of trials and difficulties, He wants you to be worry-free even with problems.

Jesus said: John 10:10

"Don't worry about anything" Philippians 4:6-7

and the Bible says there is no use worrying Matthew 6:27

Easier said than done.

How do you live a worry-free content life day in and day out?
So what's the answer?

One of the most intelligent and accomplised men in history, the father of calculus searched for the answer to life's emptiness and concluded

"Every man is born with a vacuum, an emptiness that can only be filled by finding God." - Blaise Pascal

Okay I've read and understood but How?
How do you find God?

Yes you go to church or mass or prayer meetings, nothing wrong with that but, look at God's promise in the Bible Jeremiah 29:13

Jesus promised "Ask" Matthew 7:7-8

Would you like to live your life to the fullest?
Would you like a life without worries and discontent? Then ask Jesus to come into your life to be your Lord and Savior. He came to this world so that we may live life with contentment.

"I have come that they may have life and have it to the full" John 10:10

God Loves You so much
And that is why He sent His one and only son to you so that you can experience an abundant, joyful life. It doesn't matter who you are and what you've done in the past. He sent Jesus to erase your sins and pay the penalty for your sinfullness if only...

If only what?
If only you would believe in Jesus. John 3:16
That's the Good News, but you may say, "I believe in Jesus already!"

Okay, then good, but do you trust Him?
Because believing in Jesus means putting your trust in Him alone and commiting to loving Him and following Him. That's what it means to be a Christian. Being a Christian does not mean that you're joining a religion, or that you're going to be religous. Rather, it is a personal commitment to trust, love and follow Christ.

Everyone who believes in Me will have eternal life… John 3:15

Do you really believe in Jesus? Do you believe that He can save you from your sins? Do you believe that trusting your life to Jesus will give you an abundant, everlasting life?

He has a plan for you. He wants to love you and give you a life full of purpose and joy. God's promises will not have any effect on you, if you don't trust God and begin a personal relationship with Him through Jesus.

Jesus Said: Matthew 11:28

You have an open invitation from Jesus Christ to live a life full of peace and joy and fellowship. Let Jesus come into your life by inviting Him into your heart. Don't be afraid! You have nothing to lose but anxiety, worry and discontent.

Have you felt God calling you, knocking at the door of your heart? He's patiently waiting. Revelation 3:20

Will You Accept His Invitation?

Are you hungry and thirsty for a relationship with God? If you would like to become a child of God and invite Jesus Christ into your life, let your response be something like this, using your own words in prayer.

"Lord Jesus, I need you. I confess that I am a sinner and I have made mistakes in my life. I believe that You died on the cross to pay for all my sins. With Your help, my life and my ways will change.

Jesus, I open my heat to you. Please come into my life and be my Savior and my Lord. I accept Your gift of eternal life and Your purpose to give me a full life. Come into my life and make me the kind of person You want me to be. Thank You so much. Amen."

How are you right now after your prayer?

Yes, you still have problems, but if you sincerely accept Christ in your heart and begin to trust in Him to guide you and your new life, you will have hope and a new perspective. 2Corinthians 5:17

The wonderful thing with your decision is that you will have freedom from your past life and sins, from anxiety, from guilt, from worry, from fear. You won't need to consult horoscopes, or tarot cards to guide you or to know your future looks like. Christ will free you from these things.

God will direct your way. He will talk to you through His Word, the Bible, and reveal his plan and purpose for you. You are now a new creation.

Okay, what's next?
To grow in your new life with Christ, may I suggest you please do the following:
1. Pray to God daily. Talk to Him the way you would talk to a loving father.
2. Let God speak to you by reading the Bible. I suggest you start with the book of John or Romans in the New Testament.
3. Join a Bible study group or Christian fellowship near your area. make friends with other mature Christians.

This message is meant for you. Maybe you're not fond of reading blogs but this is not an accident. Now that you are a Christian, a new creation, please stop worrying about your past or about the future or any hardships or sickness or even death. Just remember that Jesus loves you! Take comfort in these wonderful words:

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Don't let anyone tell you that there is no hope.

There is hope because you are now a child of God. You have Christ in you.

Praise God that He has caused you to read this blog!
Welcome to the family of God.

Always remember that there's a new Hope under heaven in 2011.

The Psalmist will pray for you.

Merry Christmas!

my first daughter - what's in her name?

2010-11-20T19:32:00.004+03:00

I lay me down to rest
a pile of books upon my chest
if I should die before I wake
that's one less test I have to take

A memorable wall poster hanged in our room while my wife is
waiting for our second baby to come

She's fond of reading Harlequin Books, Harold Robins and there's
one pocket book I forgot the title, a romance piece with a fascinating scenario that makes her stay late at night

Francis Conrad our eldest child was named from his Lolo's Francisco (my father) and Conrado (Leny's father), we couldn't find a match for our baby girl because my mother (Quirica), her mother (Ligaya) sounds awkward when mixed "Rica Joy" (sorry if this is your name) and we realized the pocketbook's author Louis Faye, that's it!

My father forced me to give a valid reason not just a name from a book itself and "Louis" sounds like a guy to him…

I added "E" to Louis and explained…
and it goes…

Louise Faye
her name contains all the vowels
A E I O U
and the only consonants came from the first and last letters of our names

F & S , L & Y + A E I O U = Louise Faye

Happy Birthday to my dear daughter!

righteousness in love

your temper will rise
when you hear my advice
every slip of my tongue
will halt you like a nun

to justify my cause and intention
i'll deprive you of your illusion
a man will take charge
in any relationship disguised

and every inconsistency
of false personality
self righteousness mentality
of love, respect, kindness and honesty

hear me when I say
to shower words of solace
righteousness in love prevails
when emotional outburst unveils

loneliness surrounds the room
a love, a hearts' desire
emptiness paused the breathing
staring in a hollow without blinking

can't sleep even a nap
drowsiness creates a gap

squint-eyed the mildew of the past

the sorrow and the snow
a harmony in an echo
a form of beauty created in my mind

2010-11-07T08:44:00.002+03:00

why do you have to lie
that your love will never die
but now, now that you have found
a woman, new in town
do I have to bury my gown?

please be true, please be true
karma will haunt you
loving me is not a joke
don't turn our flame into smoke

you told me to study hard
even if you are far
you promised me you'll be faithful
but when the night is full
you cheated me like a fool

please be true, please be true
karma will haunt you
loving me is not a joke
don't turn our flame into smoke

please be true to her
if you really love her
never mind my misery
if you try to leave me
but please don't do to her, what you've done to me
about your pathetic, immature cruelty

please be true, please be true
karma will haunt you
loving me is not a joke
don't turn our flame into smoke

the passion of falling in love again and again

2010-10-27T11:49:00.006+03:00

when I was a child
she never leaves my sight
embraces me every night
until the morning light

she nurtures me to be strong
corrects me when I am wrong
doesn't sleep when I am sick
at my side when I'm in heat

as I grew up and learn to be alone
she's always there waiting for me to come home
never eat dinner until I come back
she's so patient and loves me alot

a love story that anyone can see
in it's essence and purity
the passion of love eternally
in her heart you can see the beauty

I love you Mom!

Just recently I joined the Pinoy Expats/OFW Blog Awards 2010 with their theme "Strengthening OFW Families: Stronger Homes for a Stronger Nation." using my Filipino blog "mga kathang isip ni kiko" where I shared my thoughts, feelings of being away from my family especially christmas time, with it's title "Kada-buwan ay Pasko sa Pamilya ng OFW" derived from my youngest son abruptly saying "papa, parang pasko buwan buwan ah!" which he really enjoyed buying various kinds of toys, clothes etc., every month…

which is really true for our families back home who receives our remittances every month..

be inspired with various OFW Blogs as we joined PEBA 2010 season

with the theme "Strengthening OFW Families: Stronger Homes for a Stronger Nation." as clearly explained by PEBA

there are also some issues that we have to consider, for other OFW's that suffers from employers and delayed salaries, I hope our new government will do something about this issues and of course also to my fellow OFW, Philippine Government will not be able to help you if you are implicit about your sufferings. It's about time to expose yourself to the Phil. Embassy in your country…

I repeat my question…
are you ready for a change?

change in what? you may ask...
as you read and sympathize with the entry of OFW's from different countries, and Supporters from our homeland…

our struggles,
our ups and downs,
success and failures…

somehow it struck your senses and little by little it develops change in your thoughts…

Do I really have to be faithful with my wife, girlfriend, fiancé in the Phils?

What is happening now with my kids, my parents?

Kabayan, reach out that phone and call your loved ones
start today or be lonely for the rest of your OFW years…

Unnamed Psalmist supports PEBA 2010 on it's theme "Strengthening the OFW Families: Stronger Homes for a Stronger Nation." with this video

His Legacy, Our Responsibility

I got it from your lolo,
it was all he had to give…
so it's yours to use and to cherish
for as long as you may live…

if you lose the watch I gave you
it can always be replaced,
but a BLACK MARK on your name
SON, can never be erased.

it was clean the day you took it,
and a worthy name to bear
when I got it from my father
there was ni dishonor there

so make sure you guard it wisely,
after all is said and done…
you'll be glad the name is spotless,
when you give it to your SON.

dedicated to my sons
• Francis Conrad Morilla Morilao
• Pedro Angelo Morilla Morilao
• Jose Daniel Morilla Morilao

and also to you…
and your son

True Friends Never Part

2010-10-04T15:07:00.001+03:00

friends will come and go
when you are in deep sorrow
no trace even a shadow
a lonely song, sung in a mellow

through life's journey
comes a beautiful discovery
true friendship can be a destiny
in loving unconditionally

a loyal friend laughs at your joke
and even smile when you give a poke
criticizes the way you look
and nourishes your mind like a book

now read some qoutes from various thoughts

"True Friendship comes
when silence between two people is comfortable"

"A True Friend is one who overlooks your failures
and tolerates your success"

"A Best Friend is like a four leaf clover
hard to find and lucky to have"

It is an honor for me to write a poem for my dear English Friend Dora
and my fellow Filipinas

freedom in His love

2010-09-23T01:18:00.010+03:00

sadness fills my room
i was convicted and doomed
every night i'm all alone
believing only me and the moon

my heart is truly aching
even if i'm sorry
still everyone is blaming me

a soft voice behind my back
"my chlid you are not bad
circumstances lead you to do that
but I Love You and that's the fact"

teardrop runs into my face
hallucination in this empty place
morning comes with no assurance
committed sin without repentance

tomorrow is my final day
trembling but feelin' okay
"do you really love me!?"
i ask God and say
i'm afraid of tomorrow
please take me today

then came my final stage
the priest reads some Bible verse
God's words struck my veins
i felt freedom in His loving grace

and as my eyes about to close
my spirit is ready to rejoice
for i know my creator is waiting for me
His love will set me free

--
everyone of us have our own prison state of mind…
let God's Words be our assurance of freedom
and may the peace that comes from Him be upon us

Mary Mother of Jesus

2010-09-08T09:03:00.007+03:00

there came a lady

from a not so distant country

who will conceive and carry

the SAVIOR of too many

the Bible calls her Mary
BLESSED
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

Luke 1:28

PERSISTENT
And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto Him, They have no wine.

John 2:3

His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it.

John 2:5

OBEDIENT
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto Me according to Thy Word. And the angel departed from Her.

Luke 1:38

STRONG
When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple standing by, whom He loved, He saith unto His mother, Woman, behold thy SON!

John 19:26

no picture can ever tell

no words can express that well

let there be no discourse

no conflict to Her corpse

Mary will always be

The mother of Jesus Christ

Who will save thee

a love that never fades

2010-09-05T16:53:00.001+03:00

i knew you from the start
beautiful, sophisticated and smart
a jolly person who always laugh
a day with you is not enough

then came a tragic part
your world turns into dark
a selfish kind of love
that almost break your heart

suddenly you forgot my name
and beginning to mock and blame
hating everyone who loves you back
a cheerful lady turns bad in a snap

silence came across your mind
you realized I am here at your side
smile pulled back from your desire
you whispered my name from time to time

the joy is hidden in my name
just accept me from where I came
you don't have to endure the pain
'cause my affection never changed

your repentance is never too late
'cause my love for you
never
fades…

this poem is dedicated to a special friend of mine, someone loves you that never fades…

The Real Color of Love

2010-08-29T07:49:00.000+03:00

the real color of love
is not red or blue
an imaginary hue
so pure and so true

meekness and loyalty
true love in reality
no feeling of guilty
loving unconditionally

FrancisM tells you
every color, every hue
is represented by me and you
the real color of love I tell you
is what your heart says it's true

how great thou art

2010-08-20T14:30:00.004+03:00

This Poem was chosen to be part of
Poets United Anthology
Thoughts That Breathe

for hours I've been searchin'
of this famous art and wonderin'
where, how can I find
the greatest art so amazing?

lots of books scattered
open tabs in google search
still upset, results not met
how, why? any clue you can give?

as I lie on my back
staring at the ceiling
memories flashback
when I was young
I had this masterpiece of mine
a portrait of myself in front of easel

and soon I realized
I went out and look to the sky
I worshiped God and sing out loud
How great thou art oh God
It is me your greatest art!

Vincent Van Gogh Self Portraits
"I purposely bought a mirror good enough to enable me to work from my image in default of a model, because if I can manage to paint the colouring of my own head, which is not to be done without some difficulty, I shall likewise be able to paint the heads of other good souls, men and women.”

broken lines

2010-08-17T22:23:00.001+03:00

I guess my heart is in silence
and doesn't want to speak
my brain is empty
and needs some sleep

your kiss - title draft
your kiss
cursed by the witch
buried into the deep
- broken

ignored - title draft
the feeling of being ignored
is like being noticed
i guess i'm not missed
- broken

obedience - title draft
obstacles we surpass
in our daily lives
brings us joy
a merry heart
- broken

untitled
I will always cherish
the hugs and the kiss
the smile and the laughter
I'm going to miss
- broken

I wish I have enough time
to finish those broken lines
I guess I'll leave it behind
and follow my heart's desire…
to sleep

a perfect friend

2010-07-23T12:49:00.001+03:00

a perfect friend
you'll always be
no matter what others
judged about me

your kind and thoughtful heart
never changed from the start

a perfect friend
who's been there for me
in times of trouble
in moments of misery

your kind and thoughtful heart
never changed from the start

an ideal wife
and a mother of three (2+1 coming soon :)
the details you can read
in her blog and me

your kind and thoughtful heart
never changed from the start

for those who knows her so much
can really tell how she was loved
from seriousness to comedy
we love you multi-tasking lady

your kind and thoughtful heart
never changed from the start

even if you waived goodbye
our memory of you will never die
and when you're about to fly
please, please oh please do not cry

your kind and thoughtful heart
never changed from the start

the idea of having you

2010-07-16T13:06:00.003+03:00

the idea of having you
will replace my color blue
believe me 'cause I like you
and my intentions are true

the idea of having me
will delight your sanity
from horizon to reality
will make you feel completely

the idea of having you
makes my smile, renewed
in love that's something new
a far from bird's eye view

the idea of having me
reflects your personality
it will reveal the mystery
behind your hidden beauty

the art of losing you

2010-07-14T11:55:00.002+03:00

what is the meaning of this?
a painful moral bliss
leaving me without even a sign
don't you know my love is divine?

flame so hot then came cool
you treated me like a fool
the reality, my sanity
your love for me is vanity

love's unfair from the start
losing you became an art
different colors spread on canvass
a love affair that will never last

where will I be
after you left me?
in the desert full of sand
or on high mountain above the land?

the art of losing you
can't imagine the hue

a peaceful evening to everyone

2010-07-08T01:23:00.002+03:00

saying goodbye is easy to say
hurting words we can't replay
but at the end of the day
the thought of going away

the reason is shallow
to think its narrow
to separate the sorrow
seems there's no tomorrow

linguistic thoughts at hand
everyone took their stand
the explanation to none
friendship at stake wind-stand

silence is irritating
to shout is embarrassing
temper is uprising
one to ten start counting

ten nine eight
straighten your faith
seven six five
we don't have to fight
four three two one
a big family we become

a peaceful evening to everyone

picture of you

2010-07-01T17:48:00.005+03:00

all this years you've been away
what more can I possibly say

I miss your hug
after we pray

I know I'm loved
from miles away

my voice's always shaking
every time you are calling

the picture of me
reflects your sanity

tears that I wipe
returns every night

often times I dream of you
the color is always blue

wish we could be together
stay with me a little longer

your sweet and warm embrace
can't remember even a trace

the last time you held my hand
unintentional, unplanned

the love I felt inside
now I cannot hide

I miss you more than you ever knew
I always say it to your nephew

when will you be here
to overcome my fear

I've been counting the years
please stop this flowing tears

since you left
I cannot sleep

I know I'm being childish
I know this is foolishness
to let you know you are really missed.

This poem is dedicated to Ate Melinda dela Serna

flair connection

2010-06-29T23:49:00.010+03:00

let God be the center
put Him in the middle
our friendship forever
with foundation of prayer

miles apart we are
looking on that shining star
the feeling of excitement
reminiscing every moment

soon we'll be together
in a place you ever wonder
the place inside our hearts
smile that always sparks

i am here, just call
in facebook gimme a poke
buzz me in messenger
chikka, SMS delivered

and when you stumble upon
twit me when you're done
digging and scribd
LinkedIn is all you need

in Google you were searchin'
YouTube is the first answer

these are the flair connection

modern seed

2010-06-29T02:41:00.001+03:00

it started on the 3rd day
when that Great Voice command and say
the beauty of multiplication
revealed by God to every nation

the parable of the sower gives us guidance
be careful of what you implant
scripted words is deceiving
the seed of devotion is encouraging

learn from the past of ancient lust
to testify in spite of trust
staring at your pointing finger
blindness will put you in danger

the legacy and mockery
starts in seed so tiny
the future of modern literary
revolving with uniform velocity

amazing talents

2010-06-20T12:31:00.007+03:00

each one of us has a gift

a tiny spark that lies beneath

an amazing talent don't dare to keep

it will haunt you during your sleep

once there was a man

who gave talents to three servants

an amount to each and everyone

still remember what they've done?

when you are alone at night

go to the kitchen and grab a knife

search for that sparkling light

enhance it, nurture the glow and bright

still looking for your own talent?

for quite so long you've been searching

music is the key you were asking

Worship God and start singing

be worthy of fear you are referring

it produces wisdom and understanding

it is normal in the beginning

spontaneous thoughts is overwhelming

if your talent is drawing

exhibit the colors of your painting

be proud of those high buildings

a workmanship of engineering

just like me and R. S. Mallari

poetry is our specialty

imagination is beyond eternity

an honor to be part of Worlds literary

tal'-ent (kikkar; talanton): A weight composed of 60 manehs (English Versions of the Bible "pounds") equal to about 120 pounds troy and 96 pounds avoirdupois, or 672,500 grains, of the Phoenician standard. When used in the monetary sense the talent might be either of silver or gold, and the value varied according to the standard, but is probably to be taken on the Phoenician, which would give about 410 British pounds, or $2,050 (in 1915), for the silver talent and 6,150 British pounds or $30,750 (in 1915), for the gold.

Becoming the Father God Says I am

2010-06-11T11:57:00.001+03:00

I choose to glorify God in my role as a father.
I choose to live a godly life before my family.
I am committed to live a life that honors God.
With God's help I will live a model Christian life before my children.

I will be faithful to mentor them in the ways of God.
I will be faithful to teach them, by instruction and example, the laws and precepts of Gods Word.
I will not provoke my children to wrath.
I will discipline with God's love in my heart.
I will be consistent and fair when disciplining mg children.
I will be careful to use God's Word as the cornerstone and benchmark of all
our family's discipline.
It will be our standard of how we conduct our live.

I am loving, caring, and compassionate toward my children. I keep my cool during times of stress and do not become frustrated and lose my temper. I am patient and understanding and do not jump to conclusions. With God's help, I incorporate into my relationships with my children just the right balance of worship, work, and play.

If I do something that is wrong or offensive, I am quick to repent. because I live a spirit-controlled life, I am peaceful, consistent, and faithful. I walk in love at all times, and I am quick to provide encouragement and inspiration to my children.

I accept my responsibility as a father to guide, guard, and provide leadership to my family. I am anointed of God in my role as a father under God's direction.

because of you i quit

2010-06-07T20:15:00.003+03:00

standing in the midst

throwing words, like minced

even that tiny mist

sarcastic words I can't resist

the world is watchin'

every move, every inch

every word, every speech

changes in every glitch

seniors and minors

is there really rumors?

or a fact that tremors

trying to point out my errors

the country is snoring

can you relate what am I saying?

the push and the shaking

stop smoking they were asking

how can I be?

an ideal me

if this simple plea

becomes a controversy

my spirit is willing

but my flesh is weak

because of you

I will quit

for the benefit of everybody

quitting should start from me

and it will become a history

because smoking

is dangerous to my country....

a poem for a lovely lady

2010-06-05T18:39:00.002+03:00

seeing your name recently
it stuck into my memory
I wonder if I may be
a poet for a lovely lady

if only you could see
the hue and the beauty
fresh flowers in my memory
so brilliant, so pretty

colors like rainbow
enough to cover my sorrow
giving me hope for tomorrow
and never run tru the shadow

but someone just informed me
this beautiful lady is about to marry
I know it is my destiny
to become the poet of the lady

and when you're about to marry
please don't forget to invite me
my number is three one two four five double three
i'll be happy to attend the ceremony

this coming June thirty
when her fiancé starts his presidency
and become the leader of our country
who will marry this lovely lady

it will be an honor to me
to be the poet of the First Lady

This poem is dedicated to Valenzuela City
Councilor Shalani Soledad!

flowers on your grave

2010-05-31T14:44:00.004+03:00

almost 12 years celebrating your day here in your grave

silence brings back memories

tears kept a long time continuously flowing

I know that you're watching over me

your last breath into my arms

diabetes took your life from us

lessons that you imparted

still lingers in my ears

the day that I gave birth to your grand daughter

I felt you were there and I knew then

how it feels to become a mother

staring at your name

makes me feel proud that you mold me

as my fingers run through the letters

I couldn't stop my tears from flowing

if you could only smell these

fresh flowers on your grave

I love you mama

longing for you

2010-05-27T18:54:00.001+03:00

all this years

i've been looking for you

i want you,

i really need you

only you

can give me what i longed for

come into my heart

stay there please

and never ever leave

if you're there

teach me to calm down

motivate me

and give me hope

when my heart beats fast

only you can make it stop

every word i say

everything i do

trouble keeps shaking me

angry words pointing at me

and then

i will use you

to protect me

missing you ...honestly!

2010-05-02T11:55:00.001+03:00

i miss the way you laugh

i really miss our chat

i know you've been busy lately

'cause certain things you have to focus on

i want you to know that i'm still here

dropping by an offline message

"Don't forget to take a break"

things will become easier if you keep on smiling

i know you're smart

i promised to write letters

keeping you waiting makes me feel sad

honestly i've done a few

but decided not to send

i'm afraid to share my feelings

i don't know what to say

maybe it's not the right time

maybe some other time

'cause i had trauma of rejection

i hope i'm brave enough to let you know

that i always think of you

missing

you ...

honestly!

she

2010-05-01T19:00:00.001+03:00

she used to admire me
under the bright night

staring at the sky
watching my gleam
searching for me

humming cheerfully
with a soft tune

but still she's alone
and waiting

waiting for me to return

majestic beauty

2010-04-29T09:44:00.001+03:00

your eyes
are like white doves

your hair
are sunrays in the sky

your teeth
are like sheep

your lips
are like a thread of scarlet

your cheeks
are like the melon flesh
so pure so tender

you captured my heart with your majestic beauty
and ravished my soul with your
precious loving heart .sigh.

how can I forget your face
even if I close my eyes
it glows
in the middle of my desire .sigh.

I can't sleep until
you whispered goodnight
wondering where it came from
and vanished from my sight

then you came...

2010-04-28T08:46:00.002+03:00

before it was empty

feeling so alone and boring

couldn't smile

can't barely talk

staring at the open

listening to the silence

suddenly the air moves

shifting, whistling

just for a moment

and became stable

another day

another night

seems so cold

believing you were right

you were gone

i'm all alone

i'm left behind

i couldn't stand

i see darkness

as my eyes rests

a soft touch

a gentle kiss

whispering that i am missed

my eyes opened as i smiled

then you came...

the center in you

2010-04-27T09:17:00.001+03:00

You were different

because you have a center

A place inside of you,

that's just you

that hasn't been SPOILED

In some sense,

on some level

Sex and relationships

Cloud that space

and you being practically independent

can bounce back and clear that space

Solitude and Silence I guess

Making you more, than what you do

And never truly alone

It is really important to try

and keep that space SACRED

That center space within yourself

And when you lie down at night

your center makes a wonderfully soft pillow

and soon

you will fall sleep

with a soft voice that say's

"You are loved.....

Richly and

Unconditionally.....

better not

2010-04-27T09:00:00.001+03:00

scared of resolution

walk away in desolution

never mind the reputation

avoiding reconciliation

covered face

shattered mouth

turning back

crossed arms

talk to me

a little maybe

shout at me

and let it be

calm at first

but about to burst

the heat is aiming

anger is overflowing

silence is irritating...

you hold the key

so why question me

innocence in disguise

what are you trying to hide?

speak the words I want to hear

loving me is not a game

please do not be unfair

letting me know the game is over.

alone

2010-04-26T08:31:00.001+03:00

everything that you gave me

now, it's just a memory

I close my eyes to escape the feeling

loneliness keeps on haunting

my desire,

my wanting

always there,

alone and crying

silence is crawling

my sight is fading

the air is suffocating

I need to keep breathing

tears never fades

my heartbeat remains

and when it rains

I have to endure the pain

tell me I'm not alone

since you left me in the storm

I can't step forward to move on

but I have to...

because

you're

gone...

earthquake

Share on Facebook

intensity arises

trouble keeps pouring

6 days of wondering

can it be a happy ending?

earthquake on my mind

shaking my heart in time

peace I am searching

will I run into an open?

stampede in the dark

trying to forget the past

but memory stays, lasts

help me! Am I mad?

only you understands me

who knows all my misery

a typical misunderstanding

am sorry to keep you waiting

when longing comes to an end

from days, months, 'till year end

I hope I can pretend

the fear, can it bend?

When I close my eyes

I can feel you're right beside me

When I close my eyes

I can feel your tight embrace

When I close my eyes

I can feel your fingers running through my hair

When I close my eyes

I felt you're looking at my face and stare

only When I close my eyes

I recall the softness of your lips touches mine

that tender loving kiss, for me is divine

When I close my eyes

everything will be alright

when you whisper I love you and goodnight.

i miss your kiss nanay

piece of crap

I don't like circle,

but I love to mingle

I have this secret,

to anyone I won't tell

You will say I'm shallow,

if I hate you tomorrow

My love you cannot borrow,

because it will cause you sorrow

Tell me now and never lie

No more tears I will not die

What is the message that lies behind

Those words from lips but diff'rent inside

How can we ever learn from this feeling so deceiving

Forgetting our loved ones, sooo enduring

It's a good thing, there is a friend ever loving

Who can guide you 'till the happy ending

And from these border I shall pass

I will forget all the past,

Our friendship will always last

I will care for you until my breath lasts.

Change My Heart Oh God

Frequently asked question whenever I make a decision of my own.

"At any moment I could start being a better person, but which moment should I choose?"- ASHLEIGH BRILLIANT

since my puberty age I am forced to make a decision on my own. I am the only child and no one at my age level whom I can share my fears, my worries on my decision, is it a good decision?

"Where will you be ten years from now if you keep on going the way you are going?"- NAPOLEON HILL

or should I say where will I be ten years from now If I keep on going the way I am going, and can I really achieve the success I desire by doing what I am currently doing?

in time of my depression, I am talking to my self, writing notes to the one side of the paper and answer it on the other side.

I AM LOST! noise speaking inside my head... too much noise...

"Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to work, your judgment will be surer; since to remain at work will cause you to lose power of judgment, go some distance away because the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance, and lack of harmony or proportion is more readily seen." - LEONARDO DA VINCI

I need to be alone, I need to keep quite for some time. I need to contemplate.

"In order to improve the mind, we ought less to learn, than to contemplate." - RENE DESCARTES

Oh Lord, give me patience. Teach me the burst of impatience only demonstrate that I am more concerned with my own agenda, than the needs and struggles of others.

Tell me to turn my focus away from myself and patiently loving others instead of myself in the midst of stress.

Help me O Lord to change my behavior, saying I'm Sorry is just the first step in an effective apology but it is my behavior that matter, guide me to be committed to not repeating my mistake again.

Am I loyal to you O Lord?

Am I walking in the counsel of the ungodly

Am I standing in the way of the sinners?

Am I sitting in the seat of the scornful?
