- HAIKU & SENRYU POETRY-
Tuesday years ago,
32 minutes before 5:00,
the time where the
adopted son of Calliope
caught her attention.

The moon quickly
jumped off between
the beats of a human heart,
it's vast and bright,
unusual and odd
but perfect and majestic.

Right in the core of the town,
lamps fired by
itself  in blue flames
whilst snoozing seeds
begin to grow day by day
until a new paradise was created.

The new town was strange
- but heavenly beautiful.
Eros' formicas starts
falling in line and
waiting for the splash of the candy
in every ping-pong ticks.
You stand tall
But your shadow is thin
A hollow echo of who you pretend to be.
Your words fall like brittle dry leaves--
Broken and empty.
Scattered by the wind that dares to blow.
A person who makes up stories and lies.
"...God's name in creatures,
hid in wonder mystery
that spelt inversely..."
Freddie and Max
In rhyming
in flying verses
in sculpting
in painting
or in any
form of my artwork,

...I think by my heart.
As long as my heart
begins to speak,
so long as my mind
starts offevolved
navigating.

There's a
language inside
that bubbles,
bursts in fire,
- yeah, my burning desire.

My soul floats
in the sea of clouds
that my eyes
distends to check
thousand of words
racing up in my pen
to write on my sheet.
Which area you consider a comfort zone to write poetry better?
The memories that were drawn by the past,
the colourful thoughts retained but gone to fade, thus each traces has remained within.

Time flies like bubble nor fogs amongst the wind
that rapidly obviates each and every moment.

For all single times went by,
for all the pile of hued scenes in our lives,
for all the tales of our immediate past,
luck indeed tends to come once in a lifetime.

...and when your wish finally came true,
embrace and don't let it pass,
because sometimes destiny is kind, selfish
or sulky.

Bethink that we cannot plead the time
to visit nor repeat the elapsed precious moments.
Treasure each moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special and remember time waits for no one.
I am many things, quietly,
A poet whose words flow softly through the stillness,
A writer, shaping thoughts into words
That speak when silence is too loud.

In art, I find my voice—
A visual artist, crafting from dreams,
Letting colors spill where they may,
Shaping moments that feel like they've always existed.

But I am also hands that build,
A builder, laying stones to form something lasting,
Designing spaces where ideas and reality meet,
Where simple things become more than they seem.

And when the world demands structure,
I walk in the realm of reason,
Working with systems and numbers,
Not as a master, but as one who listens,
Helping them find their place.

Imagination is my quiet guide,
A spark that moves both thought and action,
For I do not only think—I feel,
And let my heart lead the way.

I am no grandmaster of any single thing,
But a humble creator,
Working with hands, mind, and soul,
Ever learning, ever doing,
With pride, but never boasting,
For the art I create is simply the best of me.

Pinanday ka ng panahon
May tapang na hindi
basta sumusuko,
sa lahat ng laban
wala kang inuurungan,

Agimat mo ay katapangan
na umagaw mula sa kalaban.
Buo at tibay ng iyong loob
ano man ang iyong sagupain
walang di kakayanin.

laban mo’y hindi biro
Una kami sa iyong puso
Bago ang iyong pagkatao
Karamay ka, sa bawat
along bumubugso.

Ikaw ang bagong bayani
ng ating lipi na nagbabalik
ng kulay at sigla bitbit
ang bandila na may kisig
at buong katapangan.
Dedicated to all frontliners and to all great leaders.
Mga paningin nating laging nagkaka-bunggo,
pilit man itong pigilin kusa pa ring nag-tatagpo
ginagala ang mata sa bawat sulok ng kwadro,
upang ito ay itago ngunit sayo pa rin sa huli dumadapo.

Bilanggo ang aking mga salita
gawa ng paralisado kong dila
tuwing ikaw ay malapitan kong nakikita.

Bibig ko ay mga matang malaya
upang mangusap at mag-pahayag ng mga
salitang di ko kayang masambitla
sa tuwing mata nati'y nag-kakabangga,
nag-hihimutok ang damdamin kong nag-babaga.
There is no greater name
of true friendship and loyalty.

She gives forth
without truly
nothing holding back,
a beautiful creature who
gives all her heart -
loving you unconditionally.

She is one of the
creations of God
and called after his
holy name in backwards.
A creature who give love
and affection more
than humanity.

- A man's best friend
I still bleed in pain
since you were gone.
There's a hollow space inside
that will never be filled and
there's no way to untangle
my heart from yours.

For the rest of my life,
you are always tucked in my heart,
.......our bright star.
First Death Anniversary of my Son Clay
Sumapit na ang hating gabi,
Unti unting sinasakop ng pagbubukang liwayway.
Gandang iyong taglay,
Sa aking diwa'y nananalaytay.

Ang saglit na pamamaalam sa takip silim
bukas ay mababanaag nang muli ang ligaya ng pusong minsang nagdilim.

Ang kaaya aya nyang ngiti,
Higit pa sa ganda ng bulaklak. Sa magdamag kong pag susulat ng matalinhagang salita ikaw ang aking nakikita.

Pansamantala, sa agaw ng dilim at liwanag. Ako ay mamaaalam. Itinitiwala na lamang muna sa mga bituin na ikaw ay matanglawan.

... Sa araw ng bukas ay masisilayang muli ang ligaya ng aking buhay.

Mountain city lake
in the middle of two cosmos.
Trees and citylights are poems
that nature writes upon the sky.
You are the melody of my heart,
In your embrace, I find my home.
The wind carries your name,
A soft whisper, gentle as dawn.
You are a butterfly.

Fleeting, yet full of grace,
A sky within my gaze,
My eyes hold you, unwilling to part,
You are a butterfly.

Come, wander through my garden,
Where every bloom reflects my gaze,
Flowers bow to you in silence,
Like the feelings I cannot say.

May you land, so close to me,
I will guard you, never to harm,
Among the blossoms, trust in my care,
In their quiet embrace, you are safe.

Do not fear, my love,
For my heart wraps you in its warmth.
English Translation of Paro-Paro
A gentle creature
eating nectar from flowers
then roams in our yard.
A poem requested by my son about butterfly
Another day was gone,
tomorrow is another day down.
...See you soon my beloved hometown!
Baguio City, Philippines - Hometown
Sa simula't sapol, sa kuwento
lamang ng matatanda,
sa pelikula at mga takilya
doon lamang ako
nag-papaniwala.

Talastas ng isipan,
hindi ito makatotohanan.
Ngunit sa likod
ng aking isipan,
naroon ang munting katanungan.
Totoo nga ba
o sadyang kathang
isip lamang?

Hindi nag-papaniwala,
hanggang sa hindi ito nakikita.
Pagkaka-tanda ko'y minsan
akong humiling at matulin
naman itong dumating.

Hindi makapaniwala,
halos nanlaki aking mga mata,
isang diwata tugon
na mula puso, di mawari,
napalukso ito sa tuwa.

Tila inagaw **** lahat
ng liwanag at sa likuran
mo'y napakalibot.

Dumarating ka mula
sa mga ulap
at pagdaka'y isang binibini,
tumambad at sa akin
ay pumukaw.
Tunay at totoo
pala ang Diwata,
at yun nga ay ikaw!

Diwata ka sa aking paningin,
ano pa ba ang aking hiling?
Minsan ako nangarap
at nanalangin,
sana may enkantadang
handang magpa-angkin.

Nakakatunaw ka sa mata,
pagkat walang kasing
tulad ng iyong Ganda.

Di masambitla, mga salita
ko'y ayaw ngang lumabas
sa kanilang mga lungga,
kaya narito na muna
ang aking tula.

Ano pa't pupurihin
na lamang muna
kitang pansamantala,
ililihim na muna
ang mga kataga at
sa aking mga mata
ko na lamang muna mababasa.

Diwata ka sa aking paningin.
Pananambitam, dalangin
at hiling na sa munti
kong paraiso, sana'y doon
mo piliing manahan,
gawin **** iyong engkantadia
at handang pasakop sa
lahat ng iyong kagustuhan at nasa.

...Handang paalipin
at magsilbi, basta't ikaw
ang siyang laging aking kapiling...."
Quiet masks the beast,
Push me, and you'll meet the fangs—
Unseen wrath released.
Basagin ang kokote, ilabas ang forte!

Sabihin mo man na punong-puno ng samu’t saring kaalaman ang nilalaman ng utak mo,

....wala rin itong saysay kung naka-imbak lamang sa loob ng isipan mo.
Life's fleeting moments,
Laughter echoes, tears fall down,
Time slips through our hands.
#Senryu #Existence
Droplets on my skin
rain, mist from thunderhead clouds
pouring down with grace.
Marvels of Nature
Paano na lamang kaya,
katanungang hindi
kayang isalita?
Naka-lihim na lamang
ba sa bawat titik ng tula?

Hanggang kailan?
Hanggang saan?
Katanungan na lamang
na idinadaan
sa matatalinhagang katha.

May sariling himig
patungkol sa pag-ibig
ngunit bakit nag-dadalawang isip
na ipahiwatig mula sa aking bibig?

Sa mga sandaling ito,
wala pa dalaw ng antok,
Narito at nag-papawihatig
nang muli ang lantarang pag-hanga.

Madalas ipinapakisuyo
sa matatalinhagang salita,
sa bawat tayutay
at saknong na
may lantay at tugma.

Lakas ng loob nawa'y
magpanhik ka nang
ako'y wala nang kinikimkim
at hinihibik sa langit.

Halos umapaw na,
baka 'di na yata kayanin pa.
Panalangin ko na iyong mamalas,
na laging winiwika
ko'y pangalan mo
magpa-hanggang wakas.
The toughest conflict
you will ever encounter
is between your thoughts
and what you feel.
Strongly rooted yet flexible,
the higher it grows, the deeper it bows.

Bend but don’t break.
Keep calm and free yourself to sway.

Gently dance in the rhythm of the winds
and firmly stand to the ground.

Be a bamboo that stoops, but strong.
Kung ika’y nawawala
'di malaman kung nasaan ka
bumulong lamang sa hangin
sa bituin ika’y tumingin
...ako ay darating

Inuulan ka man ng luha
dumungaw man ang kaba
darating din ang umaga
kaya’t wag kang mangangamba
….nasayo ang aking puso.

Huwag, huwag kang mangamba
may kasama ka sa pag-iisa
mundo man may lumbay
huwag kalimutang may kulay.

Huwag kang mangamba
dahil buhay ay may pag asa
kasama sa pag-lalakbay
bigyang saysay ang buhay.

Mabagal man ang hating-gabi
narito lamang sa iyong tabi
pakinggan ang sigaw ng iyong puso,
naroon lamang ako
salubungin natin ang bukas
huwag kang mangangamba
pagkat 'di ako mawawala.
"...Pilit ko man itago, ngunit
isipan ko'y nasa iyo.
Hindi ko maiwasan,
hindi kaya ako sa iyo
ay tinamaan?🎯🥰

Maitatanong lamang,
bigkis mo kaya ang
aking kasiyahan?
Tuwing ikaw ay aking nakaka-usap,
damdamin ko'y nahahagip
sa mga ulap ng isang iglap. 🌬☁️

Hatinggabi nang muli,
payapa ang mundo,
may awit na bumubulong
at sa puso pumapanhik.

Bumangon at sa langit ako'y
tumatanaw na may ngiti,
libo-libong mga tala, iisa ang
pumukaw ng aking tanglaw...
Yun ay ikaw... 🙈🙈🙈

Iniisip-isip, sana'y masilayan
kita sa aking panaginip.
****-usap sa tadhana
na sana ang lahat ng ito
ay maging takda
at magkaroon ng
mabubuting gunita
at huwag sana mauwi
sa isang kisapmata
at maling akala..." ❤❤❤
You are every music amidst a crowd and the word of city sounds, for that is my favorite music, and you are my song.

You are my music in my thoughts tonight and every each new day, and the last picture I sight, as my eyes are closed upon a feathered pillow.

Indeed, it is you that I never searched for, yet you are the symphony in that secret place called dream that came true.

Whenever I think of you at this very moment, music is here from eternity. And, when the final sleep does come and if there is kind of sweet sound, I shall think of you.
From here to there
you're the perfect thing to see
like a rainbow in the sky.

You're every curve in my lips
that turns into crescents
and eyes become slits.

I smile today because of you...
You make me always smile
from ear to ear...
I adore you...
So... I just smile...
Life presents two road lane

- give and take
Every word is not
expressed in a precise way,
learn to navigate to each
verse and comprehend.

Poetry is not a roller coaster,
dilate your heart and you'll feel,
each sentiment is not just written
but hidden in mystery.
Whispers twist like vines,
Falsehoods bloom behind your smile,
Truth lost in the shade.

'til we took wing ourselves
still we get you though...

I'm sorry for what I have done.
I'm sorry for the way I hurt you.
I'm sorry for the pain I caused.

I'm sorry I am not perfect,
I know I let you down.
I'm sorry I messed up.

Please don't abandon me,
Hear out my only plea.
From this day, I'll be worth it.

I'm sorry for all that I did.
Please give me another chance
and spare me another glance.

Please let me start anew.
My life...
my attitude...
my race...
my rules...
my toes...
my knees...
my shoulder...
my head...

A fine rumbling noise
of Mr. Eros' big shot.
I'm dead ...dead for you.

Quiet winds whisper,
Not all battles are your own —
Leave them to the storm.
Stay out of matters that aren't your business. 😊
Ikaw ang awit ng puso
Sa piling mo ay paraiso
Binubulong ng hangin
Pangalan **** kay lambing
Ikaw ay paro-paro.

Mailap at mapaglaro
Langit kapag ikaw ay pinagmamasdan
Mga mata ay ayaw kang pakawalan,
Ikaw ay paro-paro.

Halina sa aking hardin
At ating libutin
Mga halamang  hitik sayo ng pagtingin
Na katulad ng aking damdamin.

Dumapo ka sana upang ikaw ay malapitan
Iingatan ka at hinding hindi sasaktan
Sa piling ng mga bulaklak,
huwag kang mag-alinlangan.

Huwag kang matakot
Sapagka't pag-ibig ko sayo ay bumabalot.
This poetry was created sometime in 2017.
Huwag kang pumukol ng puno ng niyog na hindi mo kayang saluhin ang mga bunga nito.

Huwag kang gumawa ng sarili **** ulan at mang-gagalaiti kung bigla kang tinamaan ng kidlat.
It is a unique
art of speaking
the language
of the heart.
What is poetry?
I am a colour of thoughts.'

Flying in the shimmering
deep of imagination.

A creator of abstract doggerels,
a whirling feeling of amazement
into fragments of creativity.

For each fragment of me
am in each piece I craft,
I wildly pace to my tune,
and I passionately dance
to my own beat.

Songs are just like bookmarks in life.
We don't notice things;
it is how we take down time.

The lyrics, the melody, the mood,
and the feelings—yeah!
A single line of a song can take you
back to a moment in time.

Two voices speak loud,
Each truth holds half of the light,
Wisdom in balance.
Listen to the entire album
Flesh, blood and bone
is the real shadow from
the light which
shines within.
Sa lawas ng
dalampasigan
ko isusulat
ang libo-libong tula
at mula sa mga himig
ng alon sa laot,
doon ako huhugot
ng mga tayutay
at saknong na
may lantay at tugma.
Tongues dance in shadows,
Stories bend and shift like smoke,
None hold their own weight.
