Never mind about
last night rainfall.
Even this morning
heavy rain
that flooded the
streets and kept
everyone inside
their houses.
The rainbow promises
sunshine in a moment
till the evening  
Never mind about
the tear drops
from my eyes.
The heat of
the hugs from
your presence will
dry it up.
For the warmth
if your love
is my covering
on this very
cold lonely night,
were the moon
sit all alone up
in the firmament.
All the stars
wink and twinkle
to remind me
that I'm not alone.
Even the frogs
and the crickets
nearby with other
night creatures sang
their froggy chirpy
shrilly songs
to comfort me
on this cold lonely night.
The rainwater splashing
in steady drops
on the leaves
seem to clap
in rhythm to the
sounds of the night.
And their lullabies,
so sweet.

Erase my name
and my face
from your mind.
Did you see
how impressively
impossible it is
to discard my
presence.
I am like
a diadem on
your forehead,
the little pesky
irresistible
unnecessary irritant.
I am that
secret annoying part
of you that
won't go away.
Don't you know
i am the jewel
of your heart,
meant to be loved,
admitted and nurtured
by your thoughts.
Treat me right,
I beg of you,
i am the verse
in you.
Nature made it
that way.
Even your own heart
will rebel against you
and form forces
to repel your
opposing views.
Reconcile with yourself,
and remedy the
situation instead of
opposing yourself.
What is it
that makes you
think i am your
problem.
I am not
your unfriendly friend
but a brother
who seem to
seek for something
his heart desires
with no offense.
Refusal to  grant
required requests
made it seem so.
Out of unknowing,
selfishness and
misunderstanding
breeds enmities
and it's cousin
corruption.
Then foolishness will
lead suffering to
visit your abode.
Both with other vices
will be your
companion and
destruction.
Don't struggle but,
yield to conscience,
and free yourself
from the entanglement
of this horrible monster.
It's terrible venom
is a nightmare that
could see to your
quick demise.
Reconsider your stance,
because you can't get
rid of me.

I welcomed you
yesterday as you
lay besides me
as my covering.
My heart this morning
sings along side
the morning birds,
songs of love
to wake you up.
As you shine
beautiful soul,
my heart is glad.
Smile for me
as the morning sun.
Because of you
the world smiles
back at me.
Here is a
good thing,
the future is bright.
Hope and your ideal
makes the difference.
Wait for tomorrow,
your sun want
to see your
beautiful face.
As I turned
to look back,
only to find out
that today is
yesterday's tomorrow.

I know how
you deeply feel
about yourself.
Not too sure
of what and
who you really are.
A twist of
the mind is
sometimes so
confusing that
you won't believe
it yourself.
How do you
know that
you are who
you said you were.
Someone else
somewhere else
told someone
who he thinks
you are.
A person is
only a person
because another person
told them they were.
Supposing you are
more than what
they conjured up
that you were.
Have you ever
thought that you
are very deeply
different from anything
that they say
you were.
With an uncanny
feeling gnawing secretly
deep within your
subconscious mind
that you are
something more than
just a human.
Yes you are
right on that one.
You are an alien,
a space and earth man
wrapped up in one.
Yeah I know
what you are thinking.
Argue with yourself
until you leave
the earth suddenly
to your homeland.
See you at
the other side.

Gleaning the garden
for the leftovers
is like gleaning
the whole world
for the fruits
to the tree of life.
To survive in
this down world
is a fight
of the fittest.
To ask the
lions to be
fair and have
pity on the
gazelle means
starvation for the
whole pride.
It is in
the natural order
of things
to survive by
any means necessary.
To accuse
the cow of
eating the grass
means death.
To accuse
man of eating
vegetables means
extinction of mankind.
To survive,
something must die
for you to live.
Everything you consume
must die
to give you life.
To ask the
whales to stop
soiling and drinking
All the waters
just because
you are thirsty
or to stop
messing up the oceans
because of you
is really laughable.
Everything created has
their place in
the natural scheme
of things
including you.
As something are
meal for you,
even so you
will someday
become a
meal for something.
And the circle
continues.

Go back to
the source of
your beginning
to find peace.
Within the beginning
is your source.
Beneath the source
lies the life
that sustain you.
From the beginning,
there is no
other life except
the one that
pulsates within you.
This vital life force
is your source
of being.
Your being emanated
from a living
source if the
universe to give
rise to something
magnificently unique.
This life force
is the breath
within breathe.
Powerful in it's
exaction and
precise and accurate
to it's timing.
As above,
so it is  below.
Gyrating in it's swing
to work in
synergy with all things
as allowed in nature.
