Desolation
marvin m brato Oct 2018
When heavy laden with frustrations
And the world seems cruelly unfair
Not even one cares of your existence
Nor read the poetry of your life's journey
Of feelings, dreams and your reasons
Life for you at times is a tribulation.

When your heart breaks with rejections
And your beloved leave you abandon
Not a single soul looks back at you
Nor utter a sole word of consolation
Of love and hope, not even a goodbye
Life for you at times become isolation.

Bad times come to us unexpectedly
At any second of the day as we live
In this earth where man is imperfect
Everyone is on his own accountability
As one thrives to be happy or wronged
Life at times is at the brink of desolation.

Death (Loop Poem)
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Loop Poem ( Death)

Procreation is a gift
gift shared in marriage

Marriage is sacred
sacred defines life

Life is quite monumental
monumental as in special

Special thing being alive
alive to take adventure

Adventure is exploration
exploration for survival

Survival declares the fittest
fittest among others is finite

Finite is human life's span
span of living is unpredictable

Unpredictable is our existence
existence that soon shall vanish

Vanish shall become all of us
us as human succumbs to death

A Dare
marvin m brato Oct 2018
ou and I against the world
Is the lingering burden in our hearts
So near physically with each other
Yet so far we can not have freedom
To savor the colors of our love divine

You and I against the world
Is the pain we suffer in our hearts
So cruel people do not sympathize
And denied us the splendors of love
We ought to share within our souls

But at the end of the rugged road
That we threaded without remorse
And tackled the trials along the way
With true love blazing in our hearts
It was worth the sacrifices after all

Practical Training
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Practice excites perfection,
So training is best foundation.
Lucky I was granted to enhance,
To master my professional stance.

To Manila I flew the next day,
It was a great flight I must say.
Freedom being far from my home,
I communicate through a cell-phone.

City life then was new and queer,
I was obsessed with girls and beer.
Nearby building was a clubhouse,
Dancing was a gal in skimpy blouse.

Her stare at me was seemed sumptuous,
She showed me her body so voluptuous.
Then signaled me to go around backstage,
And indulged in a ****** acrobatic gauge.

She danced on top of me like a swan,
Flipping her legs to absorbed the fun.
As I hold on to my throbbing manhood,
I explored the ecstasy as much as I could.

Such practice was a simulated training,
To please a woman who seemed faking.
Foreplay is the key to sustain the pleasure,
And to attain the climactic blaze for sure.

Edge of Reasons
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Thing is a reasonable matter.
If it occupies space
and has weight,
are reasons
that makes thing a matter.

Life is a reasonable matter.
If it defines space
and has weight,
are reasons
that makes life a matter.

Love is a reasonable matter.
If it holds space
and has weight,
are reasons
that makes love a matter.

Death is a reasonable matter.
If it crushes space
and has weight,
are reasons
that makes death a matter.

Loop Poem
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Like a chain
each ending word
of every inscribed phrase
ties up the innate sentiments
like waving a spectacular poetry
which brings out thrilling suspense
with candid inscription of an expression

A poet has all options
to use instinctive creativity
enthuse with an intuitive inkling
to demonstrate in clear composition
every substantive thought of wisdom
employing artistic serial rendition
words written in beauty as loop poem

A strong heart we need... to face the world!

Only His Best
marvin m brato Oct 2018
A man who still lives
Has poetry in his heart
Sentiments adamantly beat
As innate essence of existence

A poet writes from the heart
An instinctive inclination flows
A worse thought may be his best
Though not in accord with the code

The world may become the critic
Judge the poems based on races
And how best the grammar is done
A form universally accepted as norm

A best poem is sole monumental
It is the value of wisdom that counts
Lessons expressed than a popularity
The true barometer of what is called best

A dead poet is best remembered
By his only best read compositions
Yet many are still worth the discovery
Poems may not as best but are great

Self Expressions
marvin m brato Oct 2018
As life is full of adventures,
People take it sort of ventures.
Whatever endeavor one has gotten,
It is a choice though to some is verboten.

Nobody truly influences what we aspire,
Only God surely invades our innate desire.
Yes man is gifted with inborn intelligence,
Best if he utilizes it with able diligence.

All five senses except one man detests,
Is it his religious orientation that protests.
Sexuality does excites different social reactions,
But the higher IQ one has the better interpretations.

It is a taboo for most to discuss ***,
Why is it so, are you doing it to vex?
Is it not innate part of being normal persons,
How come we relay much on irate reasons?

Maybe those frigid have overlooked,
Even animals do it not just for hooked.
Have to resolve all our life's contentions,
Explore the five senses for self expressions!

The Portal
marvin m brato Oct 2018
In everything that exist

a doorway is always present

it may lead in or lead out the way

to and from any destination we go.


Entering a new phase

may meant betterment

and going out from there

is a choice for one to decide.


A portal is sort of conscience

that shows the consequences

if one dares proceed with wit

then must take the right step.

What Counts the Most...
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Whether best or not

A poet is now on top

Is not worth the place

If its purpose is for race



Whether best or not

My poem is posted hot

Is not the type of accolade

I aspire to own which will fade



Whether best or not

I get most commented slot

For me what matter is the fact

My sanity and sentiments are tact



As having an innate instinctive urge

To write intuitive thoughts that surge

From the core of my candid innermost

A fulfillment that I think counts the most

A Story to Tell
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Young as I was
with driven energy,
I took the fun
with my sensuality.

I was attracted
to both genders,
all were carefree
indulging fantasies.

And we engaged
and converged,
*** for free
with anybody.

And when done
in the acrobatics,
exhausted and bared
after the shared lust.

The acts continue
with many more,
at several occasions
without precaution.

The body once sturdy
has started to melt,
like a candle shining bright
now has dying flickering light.

The immune system
infected with viral ***,
has succumbed to mortality
as lymphocytes posted fatality.

Unknowingly or intentionally
same being shared physically,
the virus to another innocent
infecting through love's scent.

And so the virus multiplies
into many men and women,
whose lives marred by ***
and soon suffer the AIDS.

Despite, many stand strong
to set as epitome of courage,
tell their stories to let known
that such curse must DIE.

The Morning Bliss
marvin m brato Oct 2018
The cold night dissolves at daybreak

As the waking radiance slowly sneak

The dawn beckoning quite paradise

That ushers in ecstasy this sunrise



From dreamland my senses awake

With fresh thoughts all mine to take

Reckons the view as I open my sight

Your countenance enliven my might



Seeing you beside me at my bed

Brought me bliss the thing I need

Your angelic splendor I truly adore

T his morning I can’t ask for more

Moment to Remember
marvin m brato Oct 2018
As I see your face
in your slumber
I recall the past
romantic moments


You were young then
pretty and vibrant
adoring and sweet
my dream girl


Now we are married
and we aged gracefully
our children are grown ups
still I am captivated by you


True love lingers
it became me
can not live
without you

Mistaken
marvin m brato Oct 2018
I thought the world is big
That it has boundless space
For me to live and play

I thought the landscape is free
Where adventures abound
For me to live and play

I thought life here is secure
And opportunities are great
For me to live and play

Yet, the reality entails:

The world is smaller
That people congest
Where I struggle to survive

The land is much to pay
Citizens becoming foreign
Where I struggle to survive

And life itself in danger
Threaten to succumb to death
Where I live and destine to die

Mentor Poet
marvin m brato Oct 2018
A poet who is truly respected
may not be the most brilliant cited
nor number one in the recent survey
but someone whose mind best convey.

A poet who is a creative critic
may not be someone who is prolific
nor gives comment somewhat stupor
but the one who inspires as a mentor.

A poet who reads poems and analyses
may not be someone who is the wisest
nor his poetry the most read composition
but becomes an epitome of the association.

Memories
marvin m brato Oct 2018
As a young man...
I wonder what will become of me
I dream to be somebody
I query for the ways

What is life's worth...
if there is no joy
nobody to care for
and without love

Then I meet you...
you are so nice pal
so kind, so friendly
and God-fearing too


Only then that I...
saw the innate beauty of colors
and felt the blaze of sunshine
and savored love

I am a man... .
a bit mysterious
yet feels confident
and quite mature

You are a woman...
beautiful lady
so sweet maiden
and smart gal

I love you...
as what my heart dictates
that I want you as much
as I need you by my side

And you loved me too...
as your best buddy
like a dearest friend
and soul mate

So we share the best moments...
of caring for each other
sharing happiness together
and savoring ardent love

Suddenly you decided...
to leave and forget
and stop caring
by ending your love

Why? Was it worth...
your freedom to live
and quest for achievements
for a secured future?

And we parted ways...
with two-broken hearts
and teardrops falling
in dire solitude

But now I am still...
thinking deeply
while longing solemnly
waiting for your return

In my loneliness...
I think of you vividly
my soul wishes for you
my heart is awaiting

Just to realized...
that you are gone now
and we are not meant
for each other

And what left in me...
a scarred heart
wounded by frustration
of your lost love

So I am trying hard..
to exit from the pain
and erase you
by starting anew

But before I finally do...
I still like to think
I still want to analyze
I still wish to remember
that one girl I have loved
had once made me a happiest man


And now it marks...
only as MEMORIES

Me

Me
Marvin is my name
A guy so tame
Real emotions I got
Views I have a lot
Inside my mind
Not blind.

Me... I look simple
On my cheek a dimple
Reading is my hobby
About poems by somebody
God gave me this talent too
Accomplishing a poem or two.

Being emotional for me is a kick
Real emotions I can dig so quick
At any moment of the day
One poem I write to stay.

Marred by Infidelity
marvin m brato Oct 2018
What God has put together
Let no man put asunder

Marriage is a holy matrimony
Sacred vow dream by so many

Man and woman become one
Where single blessedness is gone

In marriage one may goes astray
While the other kneels down to pray

Somehow a hollow is created
Where another soul is well fitted

And so the love once so endeared
Has excites a curse becoming dread

While savoring other love in lust
The original love accumulates rust

A sacrament made with love in solemnity
Now has became marred with sinful infidelity

Love's Request
marvin m brato Oct 2018
My love for you can not wither
Always I wish you and me are together
Right now we may be afar
In all times and places I go
A vivid picture of you I look at to.

Come what may in the future
All I know my love is sure
Till the end
Hoping your love will deepen
Every moment you are in my mind
Really no other gal I will find
In temptation I chant your name
None can replace you as my dame
Even when pretty women did came.

Please hear me say without baloney...

Stay sweet as honey
Ever caring as you are
Real lover to me
Over the years to come!

Loving Wife

Sleepless nights I got
How I think of you a lot
A time without you beside
Life's energies in me subside
I love you so much my dear
My desire is to keep you near
And life becomes a melody to sing
Real love for you is a diamond ring.

Care that you are constantly giving
Often overwhelming and endearing
Rare kind is your baring sweetness
Titillating hugs and with warm caress
Even your laughter ignite my fantasy
Zealously activates me to ecstasy.

Madness
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Death gives serenity,
In life... most have only severity.
Sharing is a gesture of generosity,
How can one gives if he has nothing?
Only the wise can do things right,
No fool however admits he is wrong!
Every problem is said to always has solution,
Say, what if finding the solution is the problem?
'Tell it to the marines! ' as the saying goes,
Yell it loud, they may not hear you cry!

as if happiness stands eternal

Light flashes as she smiles.

Joy electrifies my inner self
on that smile she reveals herself
how beautiful she is to behold
none else on earth i wish to hold.

Mysterious she may be for now
A time will soon come somehow

Girl in my dreams will soon stay
And I will be so happy to greet
That beauteous lady i will meet
End of my trip.

Under all circumstances stays wonderful
Caring for you is my vow
It is true love I feel for you now
Let me show you my sincerity
Let me do my responsibility
Entrust to me your vulnerability.

And I promise
Nobody can do you any damage
Sustaining for our good future
All we need is risk to venture
Life's path and challenges
Determining smart changes
On behalf of our love.

immaculate and quite regal
endowed in you so natural.

Life with you my dear
often dissolves my fear
until the end of time
real love will shine
deep in my heart
each day will start
so bright on my part.

uproots joy from inside
cannot thrive being alone
i need you to be my own
destiny will instill courage
onward to our marriage.

Heart's Desire
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Looking out in my window pane
I see the sun sitting on the lane;
At the edge of the mountainous range.
The sundown lit a nimble luminescence,
Across this spot where I sit ever-since.

The panorama is a contrast of a sun that rises
Like the life itself it brings out some surprises;
One day there is brightness then the next darkness.
Now as i see the dusk I feel joy amidst pulsating pain,
I am glad you are far in quest of success to acquire gain.

Yes we agreed for you to leave this motherland,
For I believe in your strength that you can stand.
Against all odds as you are smart and independent,
Yet you cannot stop me to feel worry and insecure.
As you are alone in your endeavor and adventure

My heart ache as you and I are not together now,
I wish that every moment we can share joy somehow.
The pain of loneliness seem to engulf me in darkness,
While sitting on this window pane longing for you beside;
Together in slumber and wake up to see the sunrise outside.

Real celebration for a merry
Inevitably it is your natal day.

Love is all i want to give
Definitely sincere and decisive
Alas, a true gift for you.

Yes, I will wait for a sign from above
Until your heart grants me your love.

Getting Better
marvin m brato Oct 2018
As the time goes by
All things aged
The seed is full-grown
Into a tree

The bud of innocence
Comes to maturity
Like the bond share
Turns better each day

We have had confusions
But we were young then
Now is the chance for life
To know each other

Life has come to prime
So let us do
To strengthen the tie
So it won't get lose

We must take the balance
By using the common sense
Least we find the score
And draw the line

To give and take
Is the secret ingredient
To cook the pie
To it's best

Married or not
For as long as together
Couple in love is better
Than bitter love in couple

Fulfilling Metamorphosis
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Bonding together
both fertilizing
through love
lit a new life

An infant grows
in the darkest womb
of a mother in waiting
while the father working

In timely birth
bare and innocent
the infant boy crying
confirmation of a wonder

Soon the boy reaches teen
explores an adventurous life
becomes a man of ambitions
success he shares with his wife

At adulthood he is fulfilling
being a husband and father
though not a perfect individual
yet lives an exemplary existence

Old yet a happy man
he sets as an ideal epitome
as good and productive citizen
and in his death many pay respect

Frustrations
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Being broke is dire frustration
reliance on self diminishes so low
only the spirit left alive yet weakening
kiss of death becomes the ultimate wish
endurance dwindles, self-esteem dying too
no longer inspired to take the second chance.

Dreams have lost their glitters
restricting ones interest to explore
even the simplest thing which give hope
and joy can not be seen by the blinded heart
mangled by failures that paralyzed the inner soul
settling down-west like a sullen sun to hide the pains.

but poetry is my sole release
real freedom I have truly own
as my innate tool of expression

Looking behind bars of solitude
from this caged of self seclusion
I can view with an insightful eyes
the chronicles of human existence

I may not be a wise poet
but I can not help to be prolific
as I have much thoughts to share
to the world for which I shall be free

Extra-marital Affair
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Marriage is a sacred vow
an innate romantic chain
that bind the devotion
of the couple in love.

Yet along in the way
temptation intrudes
into the privacy
of marital romance.

Third party comes
alluring temptress
breaks the chord
of marital loyalty.

The other partner
succumbs to lust
drowns the bond
and kills the love.

Two things may happen
in extra-marital affair
marriage smeared, or breaks
eventually love dissolves.

Why Poetry?
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Why there is poetry?
Such is a wise question,
as it has been man's gateway
to the world of innate imaginations...
about what makes the world go-round!

Poetry is everything!
It's the intimate expression,
and ultimate passion of the heart
that enthuse human endearment...
to explore, expound candid sentiments!

Poetry is life itself!
Without it life is empty,
and becomes insignificant
as there shall be no meaning...
to every moment that we spend!

Poetry make poets!
As it excites emotions,
inspires to compose poems
which explicitly lit a rainbow...
to give colors to our existence!

this unsatisfied love for you
nevertheless, true love can't die!

Reflection
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Am I real to the tests
of being a human flesh
created in His own image
of body and soul package?

Am I true to the faith
of being a believer of fate
imperfection is the way I walk
sinful words I often speak or talk?

Am I honest to my affinity
of being among Christianity
backsliding is the act I practice
still keeps the faith without malice?

Am I destine for hell
of being with others who fail
world pleasures quite compelling
how can I resist as a mortal being?

Slice of Life

Life is set on a crossroad
as we all carry a heavy load
to decide which way to tread
quite a choice we have to lead

Life is set on finite time
we can not just sit overtime
act we must to gain advantage
or just wait for self to wastage

Life is set for our action
indulge in good interaction
get a slice of life and do our part
accomplish something before we depart
