You who are appointed as “Regent of Envy”

You long for things which are not yours truly
I do not need anything for me not worthy!

I surrender everything not fit for me!

You who are popular as “Prince of Pride”

I have written poems of love for community
For God, for family, for nature, for country
But it’s the first one for 1 person like thee

This is the first time that I’m gonna express
The truest beat of my heart – nothing more, nothing less
For a person who truly gives me happiness

Yes, you make me glad everytime I see your face
But it’s your whole body I wanna embrace
This is the first time I feel this kind of craze

Stronger than any previous feeling of infatuation
This one is a different sense of admiration
‘Coz it’s the first & only one that entered my illusion

An illusion called “dream” when I am sleeping
A taste of heaven while I am resting
The highest pleasure for any human being

But again it’s an illusion that never satisfies
The crave of flesh that my soul defies
With such frustration, my whole body cries

Yet, it’s okay if you I cannot have
‘Coz I don’t wanna engage in a forbidden love
And I’ve decided to be just a single dove

A single dove till the day of my demise
I’ll never hope for you even if time flies
You’re just until the reach of my hopeless eyes

It’s enough that you’ve entered my dream
I cannot have you even if I scream
Can’t fill my cup to the brim

Must not drown in the soup of my own
Must not let the sensation pass through the bone
Must not let the magma spill over the cone

Your “Super Saiyan” face is for my eyes only
Even your 6-pack abs and super hero body
Find a perfect girl for your perfect masculinity

Your manliness which first struck me 4 years past
When in Padagyaw you gracefully danced
With your protruding height and muscles robust

Since then everytime I see you, there’s chill inside
But this feeling so shameful I must hide
Myself is overtaken by showy pride

When I was still in Teacher Education
I await the days of examination
‘Coz that would be the chance to see you thereon

And I never imagined that you can be
A student who will be under me
‘Coz I never surmised to be in Criminology

Now that I’m here, I can see you more frequently
How it makes my days complete & happy
From daily stresses you have set me free

With your “astig looks”, first thought you’re a snob
But I was wrong ‘coz you’re cheerful like Sponge Bob
Polite & helpful too…Thanks for being part of my job

Never can I forget the day when you helped me
To correct exam sched & deliver bluebooks that are heavy
Thanks gentleman! You’re marked in my history!

Let me say sorry too for this sensual feeling
I don’t mean to pervert your manly being
You’re just so adorable & captivating

You are the most handsome student for me
No one has surpassed your astonishing beauty
So for my neglect, I apologize heavily

Yes, I regret too the day of not choosing you
To represent our department in Mr. CapSU
That was our big chance to overtake TED blue

For not giving you such big opportunity
To make proud of your handsome face & body
I’m so sorry, a really big sorry

May in the future you’ll find someone
Who will grant your beauty a place in the sun
Never again to be disregarded by everyone

‘Coz of all the men in my fantasy
You are the best! The one and only!
Maintain your stature! Be the best you can be!

Oh my Adonis! Oh my Hyacinth! You’re so bright!
Make your character as noticeable as your height!
Impress and inspire, my Charming Knight!

Once I called myself “Illuminati”
Of the god attendant “Annunaki”
Whence I said “stupid majority”
To the fellowmen of my country

For once I considered me a decoy
Of someone high who can employ
A major disturbance against PNoy
Just like playing cards for toy

Ungrateful, unthankful – they labeled me
Parables laden to rebuke discreetly
As the said majority surrounds me
Drained I all of temerity

Mine – four months of transgression
Theirs – eighteen months of retribution
Forlorn me to concise perdition
Hear my call of reconciliation!

Now this moment of abeyance & disconnectivity
I can feel how my country hates me
Watching the extent of my stupidity
Eat & sleep idly to eternity?!

My Father, like the usual other
Wants to show he is a hardowrker

I know his rags-to-money story
And money-to-rags tragedy

When I began to be world conscious
His presence I consider precious

When still a child I never sleep
When he’s not yet hope from work and trip

I even used to take a night bath
To welcome him back

And I’ll smell good when he kisses me
Shaved beard, moustache – my cheeks make itchy

Yet, I was always excited ‘coz
There’s always a pasalubong dose

Gatorade, Chokolait, other drinks
Canned Bear Brand – we chill and drink contest

After Sunday Mass in Five Wounds Church
He would buy me goto and Yakult

I missed too his ‘pinapaitan”
While in Las Piñas was the last one

When Angel and SM Southmall born
Jollibee was Sunday hour sojourn

What I only hate during weekends
I was tasked to pick his white hair strands

Once he told me tales of Dumarao
And when we’re already here now

I felt a little bit of jealous
To my cousins whom he seemed so close

Worse, I was annoyed of his hobbies
Which for me, costly, can cause disease

I succeed not to follow his flaw
Thanks God who understands I forgo

Whatever bad things I have in me
Have done to others and/or Thee

It’s not my father’s fault anymore
So God please save him from dishonor

For I still love Tatay with all my heart!

Many times in my life
My teeth have been a strife

It brought me too much pain
That made me quite insane

From childhood to my teen
My teeth so bad have been

‘Coz everytime it aches
Trouble to me it makes

I want to pull it out
I want to make a shout

Root canal and fillings
Cleanings and extractings

All those I’ve undergone
Until mostly are gone

False teeth when I was teen
True now only thirteen

New denture just last year
Extracts without a tear

Yes, extractions – painless
I also had paid less

To this dentist in town
Who comforts like a clown

Doctor Baticados
Amazing serving boss…

You’re my idol dentist
The best among the rest!

*grinding/molars just extracted painlessly

Dumarao – teen and adult abode
Where memories are both good and bad

My gratefulness when I received from thee
School honor garnered unexpectedly

But in exchange I got few friends only
Who later dwindled ‘til I was lonely

Our improved house resembling a prison
My routine changed, I was in derision

The field not ours was developed further
Without buying it from the landowner

Father’s money were quickly exhausted
Everynight’s like party – glasses toasted

Foods that we should eat – to animals fed
Chickens, pigs, pigeons, goats…later were dead

So there emerged our sari-sari store
Which I needed also to take care for

Time for fun, highschool gimmicks – missed a lot
To redeem my lost school honor I plot

Yet, all in vain, worse, my batch had fallen
In school competitions where we should win

After all, tragic OLSI memory
Taught me never again to be bossy

And when I was already in UP
My vow in life was full humility

On class days, I learned a lot in Miagao
On weekends, I went back to Dumarao

Where life was still and moving in slow pace
So when I thought I was behind the race

Worked even before I marched from college
On government office even low wage

Not disappointed, but discontented
To Metro Manila I bravely fled

Tutor in Korean Academy
Not fired, not resigned, left job abruptly

At those times of blatant stupidity
To home once again with my family

Maybe fate wants me to be here
Dumarao’s love for me may be sincere

And I think I’m also loving thee now
If our love fails again, there’s broken vow

Now, your weakness I slowly understand
My test of faith I patiently withstand.

Las Piñas  - memories sweet
Soul was innocent and neat

I miss the friends of childhood
The closeness of neighborhood

It’s where I learned ABC
Twinkle Stars and 123

I miss the townhouse playground
My afternoon hang around

With Jay, Fritz, Toto, ***-***
Yobi, Cyrene…more than ten

It’s nice when night was brownout
My friends and I would play out

After church mass, family
SM Southmall was hobby

When Holy Week was around
Night film showing on playground

Also on time of summer
Neighbors resort together

When it’s Christmas eve and night
Flood the gifts from left and right

Best is every New Year’s eve
Night’s merriest street party

Visit kin both side parents
Those another excitements

Oh Casimiro Townhomes

My Mother, maybe like the others
Is conscious in family matters

I know her rags-to-money story
And money-to-rags-tragedy

When I began to be world conscious
Her presence – I was sometimes anxious

For she used to be irritable
Making my simple flaws terrible

Occasionally, she shouts at me
Eventhough I am not far from thee

Yet, my mother’s ever generous
She’s the one who used to buy me toys

Like Tatay, she’ll not make me hungry
That’s my parents’ greatest legacy

Besides that, to her I attribute
My college institute

She worked for almost twenty-four hours
Burned too much her delicate eyebrows

I regret I still can’t compensate
Everything she had done for me great

If given chance to reincarnate
I want for myself to be a straight

So that I’ll not be again her guilt!

Lord, abet me put aside
The vain and frivolous pride
I nurture within me inside

Lord, do not allow to seed
Vicious barnacles of greed
Eventhough I am in need

Lord, erase the vanity
Revealed by mask of envy
Searing me to atrophy

Lord, shield me from glaring gust
Of humid, temperate lust
For it taints my soul with rust

Lord, allow not to gather
In my heart and mind anger
Make it lag, take it faster

Lord, let me not be clumsy
Due to frisky gluttony
Horror of obesity

Lord, shun me from insolence
Brought by putrid indolence
Rip this slough of negligence.

This series of poems was done in one sitting! I was even absent from work because I felt ill.

When she was born, they think I’m jealous
I used to pinch her skin like pillows

Maybe I am really abnormal
Her ******* up face sometimes makes me smile

Since a baby until she’s teenage
I fill her days with frivolous rage

I hope her misery would end soon
I think to her I am not a boon

In deep reality I feel sad
Everytime when Angel’s not around

Although I cursed her million times
I never regret her birth sublime

She’s God’s blessing whom I should cherish!

Almighty God Creator
Only You whom we adore
Other gods – there is no more!

When everything was nothing
Already there existing
Beginning of beginning

And when everything was born
Then nothingness Thee adorn
Thy sake was never forlorn

As civilizations thrive
New generations arrive
Alongwith them, Thee survive

While everything continues
Thy omnipresence subdues
All existence it imbues

Thy prowess shall still extend
All faults and flaws, still Ye mend
Until Thy creations end!

Against prying evil’s snout

Thy eyes constantly watchful
On everything deem sinful
For Thy righteousness must rule

Feet get hurt while tending sheeps

Being listened to and mocked
Believed, received, deceived, knocked
Driven-delayed, hastened-cocked

Subjected to mortal loss
Whose bones, flesh and blood compose
Sweat, tear, pain and timed repose

While Satan here still survives
With us to whom he connives
We’ll wait ‘til Jesus arrives!

Come, tell me
How better your parents can be

I do not say I’ve got
The perfect ones and you’re not

It’s just that I want to boast
The people who are to me host

They are my Nanay & Tatay
Who will never allow me to die

It’s only for them I offer my years
I spent for nothing maybe, but full of cheers

I may not look cheerful
But my heart with hope is full

They didn’t want to make me hungry
And want to give the best they can be

Whatever bad things or words they get from me
However good to others I may seem to be

It’s only my parents who have my best love.

Of my father’s stone abode –

Important for somebody
England’s future king & queen
Just got their Royal Weddin’
While writing this poem of mine
They’re in their reception shine

Just after watching TV
I got this white pen with me
To write this poem of this month
With flower that’s not fragrant
Which I picked this afternoon
Knowing Royal Wedding’s soon

That’s ‘coz I’d no more reason
This month just went on and on
Without any occasion
Wherein I can attend on

Where showered they some flowers
For Rama-Sita lovers

But after presentation
My mind forgot its mission
Oh flower of February
Alas! Why you slipped from me?

Resolved to wait ‘til last day

Got two flowers before thee
From Uncle Jake’s eulogy –

The first one was yesterday
At ‘bout twelve-thirty midday
In front CapSU-D Admin
Where with others ‘twas standin’
But inside my shirt’s pocket
Pumped already when I get

So this day his burial
While in offering floral
When with others I aligned
Got another of same kind
Along with “Lead Me Lord” song
Unnoticed amidst the throng

After got the second one
At post-necro sun was gone
To cemetery onward
For minutes, rain poured so hard
Carless, like us, stopped awhile
Till sun again showed its smile

Burial to be continued
On cemetery we should
After Uncle Jake’s son cried
Last bundles I picked with pride
Thought me I’ll change my flower
But oh! I’d to turn over

And oh! Poked Nene Intan
I got again another one
Of same color, same specie
White orchid – I got with glee
Then finally, I threw it
Inward my Uncle Jake’s pit

Yet now that I have my third
Its origin turned absurd
Confusion into my mind
Memory wants a rewind
From where did I really take
This orchid for Uncle Jake –

Was it from those turned over?...
Or from the stem thrown under?...
Anyway, this white orchid
Is for sure my greatest bid –
It heard the priest’s liturgy
Being teacher’s praiseworthy.

Oh how I missed my real plan

Flower there must be better
Event’s worth to remember
It was because of nonsense
Momentum near decadence

This time I was in hurry
So I must be not sorry
Slip not oh flower of June
Despite bad weather, there’s boon
And oh I can’t imagine
There’s something red & glowin’

While alone in Amang Hall

When time came, not yet ready

Most unprepared, oh aghast
Others were out the junction
Sounds went into malfunction

Disappointed superiors
Extended out their clamors
And moved the program further
Towards a one noon after
Thanks God there’s no more trial

Proud of my BEED IV
With their guts & splendor
But when everything’s over
Cendy left flower scepter

Then Lorie Jean picked it up
Saw it timely, got asap.

*Ode to the 7 Flowers of 2011

Got thee on twentieth May
At town hall’s façade you lay –

I planned this day to get you
Possible that we can do
For Summer Class Finale
Notable activity
Related to a lesson
The Church – Social Dimension

In white t-shirt we look neat
When we were almost complete
Under the shade while we wait
For others who seemed so late
And without hesitation
Proceeded I election

Little yellow bloom I picked
From green grasses where it sticked
So far it’s the tiniest
And obviously the humblest

Then we went to town’s parish
That moment we should cherish!

*Ode to the 7 Flowers of 2011

Got thee on Foundation Day
Twenty-nine years our school stay

Worth to remember indeed
It must be something to heed
One year past, I was there last
But joined event, not yet must
Because on that time before
I was not yet a member

But this time can’t imagine
This occasion I’m now in
Last year I was also there
CapSU-Dumarao dreamer
On that time just applying
Too Gaisano opening

Oh this flower’s memorial
My bio’s historical
First shake hand with Gov. Tanco
Saw Congressman Haresco

Got thee just after my lunch
At Tanco Resort – from bunch.

*Ode to the 7 Flowers of 2011

Oh God to You I strongly implore
To strengthen the throne of our governor
And in his domain to accept me once more

For when I have left from his secure
On my quest for a greener pasture
I had carelessly bitten their enemy’s lure

Oh God to You I sincerely pray
To raise up ABS-CBN like GMA
And their big pipz to me shall never play

For I accused them of being unfair
By having with a party a something affair
I hope to that matter they’ll put no more care

Oh God to You I truthfully entreat
To set Liberal Party where no one can beat
And that from me they’ll never retreat

For when I tried to abandon them
And acted as a rebel with mayhem
I’ve proven I can‘t live without their tandem

Oh God to You I firmly beseech
To make PNoy’s regime remarkably rich
And the Straight Path no one shall breach

For when I campaigned against him not to be our king
It was all propaganda, personal there’s nothing
I was just in my career a newly hatched birdling.
