Forgiven
marvin m brato Jun 2015
Sin is tempting
is a spiritual blunder
for human beings

Sins are alluring
induce instinct indulgence
for a typical society

Yet, if one humbles
and repent, pray
forgiveness is free

Christ already paid
the price on the cross
for all sins in the Calvary

Sighting the Love
marvin m brato Jun 2015
Love at first sight
is sort of seeing the love
when beauty strikes the eye
heralding the outer attraction.

Love at first site
is more of finding the love
in a special place unexpected
beckoning the sweet moment.


Love at first kiss
is sensual discovery of love
most sensuous touch that tingles
every nerve of the body and soul.


Love at first hug
is an emotional drive
that expresses the love
in a mutual bearing of respect.


Alas, whatever ways love is found
its degree highly depends on self
on how one feels the kind of love
for love is what one feels and desires.

Always & Forever

Loop Poem
marvin m brato Jun 2015
Like a chain
each ending word
of every inscribe 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

Death (Loop Poem)
marvin m brato Jun 2015
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

To My Daughter
marvin m brato Jun 2015
My little girl is now a pretty gal
Almost eighteen and stands regal
Right time will come my dear
In the future you have to bear
Zealously your own destiny!

Only you can decide
Life is no easy to ride
I can only guide you and tell
Vain efforts from good deeds
Excel in things your soul needs!

Plan your moves before acting
In the end the results will be interesting
Zero love life at this moment in time
At your age now it is really quite fine
Reach your goals and savor its reward
On that day happiness is your award!

Be diligent and resourceful
Reject bad habits never boastful
Act with caution do what is right
Tell the truth do not engage in fight
On then you will sleep tight!

A Good Father
marvin m brato Jun 2015
At seventy eight
you are still vibrant
as you were 40 years ago
your secret is healthy living

Wish I shall be like you
could impose discipline
on own self and carry on
amidst all the temptations
I once offered you wine
but you drank just cold lime
I gave you a branded cigarette
you told me it wasn't your favorite

Now I realized that you are stronger
than me as being a father myself
I shall emulate your character
as a good disciplined father

Why Sex Before Message
marvin m brato Jun 2015
Marriage sanctifies ***,
*** consummates marriage.
But why prefer *** before marriage,
is there one or more reasons to consider?

Virginity:
Maybe its still men's quest,
a priority test for him as the best.
So that the mating could be marked,
as something worth experience to take.

Sensuality:
The best part in *** is sensuality,
that each mate could get from ***.
The manner a partner performs well,
is much desired by almost hot lovers.

Sexuality:
Science could enhance state of sexuality,
cosmetology can recreate the transformation.
By *** before marriage a person can discern,
is the smart way to test the true lover's affinity.

Compatibility:
****** compatibility excites much pleasure,
Aside from love it is where both are in tune.
And to know what degree of zest it can set,
through *** before marriage is the gauge.

Perfect Together
marvin m brato Jun 2015
Having a partner in life is significant
It’s a kind of relationship that God grant
With whom each other has a role to consider
A committed responsibility to share together
So that the bond can grow and can not wither

Finding the right person is quite a challenge
It’s a matter of faith and sensible conscience
To meet someone whom you can live with in peace
Survive in harmony amidst life’s trials with ease

As human is being mortal and never perfect
Each one has limit and imperfections to correct
But putting God as the center of a relationship
Will surely make a perfect togetherness to keep

Fantastic
marvin m brato Jun 2015
Imagination sparks in the mind
excited by an overwhelming idea
first it could be something intangible
turn into a tangible creation of beauty

Emotion exudes from the heart
enthuse by a dramatic eventuality
start to stir the innate human instinct
ignite the ember of expressive impulse

When imagination and emotion intergrate
there will be a phenominal reaction to fort
a meaningfull fact of creation becomes reality
a poetry is born to feature life’s fantastic insights

Best Of Friends
marvin m brato Jun 2015
Me, you and her
Stand for each other
We are gals with common hubbies
And always stick together as buddies.
Our friendship is a treaty
When together life can not be empty
We most are like sisters.

One for all, all for one
Is our motto second to none
We share most things
Food, movies and even crushes
We like being vibrant and jolly
But we can also become bully
Ever ready to fight any fool .

We love to chat
Laugh a lot
Most importantly we dare
To care for each other
Yes we are together
In all types of life's weather
Being best of friends can't wither.

Wisdom VS Knowledge
marvin m brato Jun 2015
Wisdom is a state of thinking
that enables man to know
right from wrong;

Knowledge is acquired
through laborious study
limited to the level
of learning earned.

Letting Go
marvin m brato Jun 2015
Everything has its place
nothing else should misplace
something ill you must let go
when it no longer fits your ego.

When love breaks the heart
pain starts eating the big part
then its time now for you to let go
of self-pity before it consumes you.

There is only one consolation in life
when things go wrong creating strife
do not be complacent by acting stupid
let go of troubles, reboot feel splendid!

Love Is Music
marvin m brato Jun 2015
Indeed, love is music
A melody sublime
A lullaby
A flow of melodic hymn

As you came, love is played
With everlasting sweetness
Like a fresh honeycomb
Taste like heaven

As we mate, it was music
So intense feeling
Yet so intimate
It drove me to sing

Love is music
It fills up the heart
With much zest
A song to sing

Music is love
I like to play
Not for myself only
But for you honey

I wish
This love of ours
Will keep resounding
And reverberate... forever!

Secret
marvin m brato Jun 2015
Life is mysterious
It is of variable arts
Mine may not be the best
But lots of things I have done
That made my life a great deal!

I share love to all
even to my enemies
I smile even when hurt
to show that I do  care
for nobody is perfect!

I work hard
to sustain life
and do my task
with dedication
without complain

I admit criticisms
to correct my mistakes
and become better person
with freedom of expression
as human life must move on

Living It Up
marvin m brato Jun 2015
Poets inscribe sentiments
Inspire by intuitive elements
Which accumulated from existence
In this complex life excites indulgence.

Singers sing out their emotions
Inspire by ardent romantic notions
Which linger in the hearts that beat
With magical feelings that excite heat.

Both poets and singers are articulate
In expressing the intimate human state
Of the complexities yet well-meant phase
Living it up in this world quite perfect maze.

Beauty from Inside-Out
marvin m brato Jun 2015
What is beauty if there is no brain,
or what is brain if without beauty?

How can beauty be measured,
does it meant mere physical feature?

Beauty is what is in the heart
something good and inspiring.

Beauty is a thing that transcend beyond
the appearance, something you see with eyes close.

Beauty is where a person becomes happy
contented with what he has without remorse.

True beauty is being alive at peace with all things
to interact with others with a smile and happy heart!
marvin m brato Jun 2015
We were born bare
An innate beauty to stare
God created us all in His image
Just right that we give Him homage.

Beauty is power, do you believe?
Yes people do admire it is a relieve
But external look can not seem to last
Smile while it exist so it cannot fade fast.

Smile is like a magic word of expression
A sign language that excites the emotion
Like beauty that sparks human admiration
Smile brings intangible joyful consolation.

On My Wake
marvin m brato Jun 2015
Sudden death came to me this hour.
I expected to die but not this moment:
When I am on the height of my prime,
my family  celebrates my promotion,
my nurse son just turned regular staff,
my daughter is second year college today,
my grandson attended his first day in school,
so much good things I had to witness and feel glad!

My colleague would give an eulogy for me:
my boss will speak of my contributions to the office,
my assistant would be saying how  I lead by example,
my interns would remember how kind I taught them,
my mentors would mention how cooperative I am,
others would mention I gave them acrostic poems,
over-all they would say I am a good person and talented.

My family would be teary eyed to gave their individual eulogy:
my mother would be first to say "she loves me very much"
my father would not say much but agree to my mom's testimony,
my brothers and sisters would say how much I cared for them,
my wife would seconded my mom's emotional statement ,
my children would surely say " We will miss you daddy"

But, if i could answer them all from where I lay now
I will say to them " I am not perfect, I just did what any good mortal person does"

Respectable Poet
marvin m brato Jun 2015
A poet who is truly respected
may not be the most brilliant cited
nor number one in the recent survey
yet someone whose mind best convey.

A poet who  is a creative critic
may not be someone who is prolific
neither gives comment that is stupor
yet the  one who inspires as a mentor.

A poet who has a heart
may not be the most beloved
or the most decorated with accolade
yet the one who touches others life.

Yes a poet who expresses passion
may not be the most romantic
or the most adorable writer
yet gain respect... a poet!

My T- Leg
marvin m brato Jun 2015
Life is a journey
that gives meaning
and reasons to my soul

Living with others
pose challenges to face
each action I take is essential

I can not live as perfect
like others I have weaknesses
but I must do what I think is good

Being a poet is to feel free
to express my sentiments  only
sane people may accept or reject

But let me thank those who read
my poems and that of other poets
Life can be void if it can't be express

Mourning
marvin m brato Jun 2015
A body lies in total stillness
devoid of spirit , emptiness reigns
not an ember of thoughts remains
that could ignite a tingling message
to love ones who came to mourn.

Tear of loss dominates the moment
flashes of the past tickle the minds
of those who had spent him company
to the dead whose existence is now lost
but whose good memories will be kept.

Grief dominates the hearts
for those who miss the decease
who once shared joy and inspiration
may not a perfect being but a friend
who can be present to bring consolation.

To mourn for a dead friend
is a moment to say thank you
for the past that you were with him
for sharing life's ventures bad and good
true friends will come to mourn for your too.

Better Poet
marvin m brato Jun 2015
I can write poems with ease
can be about anything with haste
my mind is full with words and phrases
that I can express in  short or lengthy phase.

But only few or none even bother to read
my composition of  expression with poetic lead
does it mean that I don't possess the criteria as set
by critics to the category as a good or better poet?

Better poet , what does this mean?
does one has to follow the great men
or women in the past writing measured poetry
or free verse  of the present with style of flattery?

Ah, better poet is the one of taste
who can write not with ease or haste
but someone with an innate expression
who is inspired by sentiments of passion!

Don't want to hear you speak again

I know you're just ******* with me!

Stop!
Don't like your act of pretending
that you adore me dearly!
You are trapping me to get on me!

Stop!
Don't like you expressing "I love you'!
for I do not believe it anymore!
For I have fallen to its abyss

Do You Meant It?
marvin m brato Feb 2015
You're saying that you love me,
do you meant it?
But, why your hugs not tight
and your kisses dry?
And you are telling you love me!

Words are not proof of your actions,
you tell me this but you do otherwise.
Better not talk and act your true feeling,
because I rather believe that you love me
if act it to me that tell me empty words.
Then, I'll be convince that you meant it!
Feb 2015 · 295
True Words
marvin m brato Feb 2015
What are you saying?
Do you meant it,
does it come from your heart?
Or its just an expression of sort!

Words can be deceptive
or  possess an  ulterior motive.
It may excite reactions
can be good or bad.

But, words from the heart,
spells out meaningful things.
Mixed emotion it maybe,
yet it speak of the truth.

seeks your beauteous countenance

Love is most valuable belonging
that this heart has ever felt longing
you make it alive to taste the ecstasy
which you made real and not fantasy

Life maybe short but meaningful
when this heart has found you truthful
the romance we enjoy now will be a song
marks a melody of reality of my heart's dream

aptly use his mind and be patient

so that freedom may prevail in own self
over and above giving joy to others

It all start in the eyes

Lust is the ****** element of ***

Technology has brought about wonders,
Accumulated much wealth for the founders.
People have now access to many facts,
Delve even into the secrets of life's acts.

I for one an addict to cellular phones,
Sent text messages with alluring tones.
One eve I received one quite mysterious,
A hottie who made a revelation so serious.

She discovered her husband had a fling,
An infant was born to this paramour name Ling.
That drove my text mate became really mad,
Decided to avenge her pain by acting bad.

She asked we met in a private place,
Away from the world to hide her face.
An act she wanted to prove herself true,
To test her sexuality if it had gone overdue?

This ***** still shines at thirty,
I felt a surge of a sudden thirsty.
As I swam to caress her ******,
She answered with loose sanity.

When I initiated the sixty nine,
She reacted seem lost in time.
Admitted she never done it before,
And so she had asked me for more!

Waving A Poetry
marvin m brato Oct 2014
Composing a poetry
quite a complex tapestry
its a product of creativity
extracted from ingenuity

May not know to begin
to inscribe a poetic theme
that expresses sentiments
of candid emotional intents

A waver skillfully start
creates authentic work of art
through an innate exhibition  
of a zealous heart's expression

The beauty in poetry
is not seen by everybody
but felt by those in search
of a consolation that soothes

Waving is like writing
when a piece of poetry
is instinctively woven right
that interpolates human life

Indeed, waving a poetry
is a masterful endeavor
that is quite not perfect
but expresses freedom

Perfectly Imperfect Poetry
marvin m brato Oct 2014
Poetry is an infinite expressions
of  human thoughts and emotions
excited by the external environment
synthesized through an internal intent.

Poetry is a gateway of freedom
an elixir inducing release of boredom
compels intuition of instinctive expressions
of various human experiences  and impressions.

Poetry is an art of a wordsmith
literal composite of words and wit
language of the soul by human intellect
subject to criticism as it is perfectly imperfect.

What Is A Poet
marvin m brato Oct 2014
A bard always inscribes...

A verse or two of innate sentiments,
that convey substantive expressions.

Like an ode that tells a story of love,
or a melancholic sonnet about solitude.

Quite an elegy of suspense depicting courage,
better yet a limerick of an adventurous quest.

And best couplet enthusing excitements
of an epic account of human endeavors
narrate explicit poetic phrases.

an intimate key to the human soul
that opens the significant stature
of the human values and nature.

Beautiful mothers don't just happened
they were molded by experiences
have given their precious time
and guide us to maturity
who are unselfish

Beautiful mothers are those who cared
much for us in our daily life's existence
and educate our minds to be smart
to prepare us to be an independent
who with their love and sacrifices
they become our inspiration.

In Love
marvin m brato Oct 2014
Ardent love I see
Not hidden but free.
And I will surely ask
Love that bears a task.
Endurance is the name
A test for truth not shame.
Hide not your real game.

Best love will live
On mistakes can forgive.
No men fully understand
Innate love makes stand.
Fighting I dare to set forth
Accepts real love's worth.
Close your eyes and feel
In your heart you can tell,
On how you and I fit well.

Be honest my dear
And stay close to hear.
Call our hearts to combine
Obedience to love is sublime.
Now is the time for us to indulge
Give ourselves the time to divulge.
Come say to me your heart's desire
Or not at all if your love is not on fire.
Lovers must share a reciprocal relationship to enriched their love and not wither!

— The End —
