Silent Pain
marvin m brato Sep 2015
I had received the request
Thing I am used to process
But now it was quite different
For he was only three years old

*** testing commonly for adults
Who usually take risky behaviors
As sharing needles and multiple ***
But no not this innocent angel so fragile

The boy smiles as he looked at me
Seemed quiet when I extracted blood
I expect nothing serious for this a test
A requirement for a foreign adoption

Yet my heart was in a silent pain
When the result turns *** reactive
I retested it more than three times
But reality unveil the truth at hand

The poster mum was sadden
As she hopes the boy will find
A home with parents so kind
With future safe and secure

The silent pain surges inside
This conscience as witness
To all the agonies suffered
By those infected with ***

Cutting Edge
marvin m brato Aug 2018
When life becomes meaningless
no matter what you do seems useless
and all opportunities you grab wasted
broken dreams lurking with self busted
everything you hold on now starts to fall
drags your feeling pushed against the wall
realization of your life is at the cutting edge.

When life becomes the darkest
no hope of light made you weakest
things you touched soon are dead
failure always cling to you instead
you try to survive from uncertainties
yet your ego succumbs to all the vanities
Doubt overcomes self falling to the cutting edge.

Though life becomes vague
Do not give up to fight the plague
For quitters do not win any endeavor
Hang-on lit the ember to light you with fervor
For as long as you have the courage to go forward
Then no amount of deterrents can make you a coward
And in the end you will be able to override the cutting edge.

Work Ethic

Work Ethic

Work requires professionalism,
at all times in all set of conditions.
let an earned knowledge and skills,
an asset to be utilized as maximal.
no regrets even if reward is scare,
go ahead do it for the love of work.

People around need not to be told,
everyone knows who perform well.
real professional does not brag,
seldom claims for recognition.
open-minded to a paradigm shift,
never pessimistic but often optimistic
at anything of value and substance.
let others rationalize to find reasons,
act on the issues with sound mind
no jesting around just do things right.
I wish people could work well with each other!

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.

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.

Reflection

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?

A Story To Tell
marvin m brato Aug 2015
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 viral 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.

is a choice for one to decide.

that shows the consequences
if one dares proceed with it

Poetry Is Madness
marvin m brato Aug 2018
A normal being is living right
and reacts on the level of reality.
He works for subsistence and luxury,
and is contented with satisfaction.


A special being is living tight
and reacts on the level of complexity.
He dwells in his own world alone,
and is perplexed with the surrounding.

A poetic being is living bright
and reacts on the level of madness.
He discerns beyond the limit of reality,
and explore the depths of the human insanity.

Extra-marital Affair
marvin m brato Aug 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 partner is tempted
succumbs to carnal lust
drowns the emotioal bond
and kills the love to die.

Finally this may happen
in extra-marital affair
marriage will break-up
when the love is betrayed.

Silent Heroes
marvin m brato Oct 2018
In the midst of crowd
amongst the commotion
you silently sneak in to blend
without notice you did your part
as someone with a heart for the victims
choose to serve those who needs dire help
to whom many fail to extend voluntary care

With no resource but courage
and the innate benevolence within
you have shared part of your existence
to inspire those in melancholy and seclusion
because of the lambasted souls who are suffering
under the claws of man-made and natural disasters
who claimed many lives of the people without mercy

Many of your kind if not very few
volunteered to lighten the burdens
of so many victims who were hopeless
but then because you hastened to assist
and gave effort with others it did worked
such humane act you did though not so big
marked a good example of kindness and heroism

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.
marvin m brato Oct 2015
Seniority does not always mean superior knowledge and skills
To belittle someone is a cover-up of one's own inferiority
Putting down your colleague is a desperate move to lift yourself up
Lifting your own chair is bad, patting your own back is worse

An effective section head is one who uses her head with a big heart
Constructive criticism help a weakling grows to a better person
Intelligence cannot be faked, it just shows naturally
Accepting correction is next to perfection

Love...At First Sight
marvin m brato Sep 2015
Love at first sight
is kinda seeing the love
when beauty strikes the eye
kindles the external attraction

Love at first site
is kinda finding the love
in a special place unexpected
kindles the the sweet moment

Love at first kiss
is kinda sensing the love
sensuous touch that tingles
the nerve of the body and soul

Love at first hug
is kinda feeling the love
that expresses romantic emotion
in a mutual bearing of dual respect

Alas, whatever ways love is found
its degree highly depends on spark
on how one feels the towards another
for love is an instinctive romantic thing

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.

A true love is mine.

Vanity was my love in the past,
A new dawn has come at last.
Never again shall I fall in love,
Except to a man I truly love.
Since the time we met,
Sweet feelings I truly felt.
And your love I must get.

Man... what has you got?
Attraction I sense so hot.
This love that i feel,
At this time it is real.
Being in love so dearly,
All happy things I see clearly.
Loving you is everything,
And for you I shall do anything
Over the years to come.
Say it to my ear...
'I LOVE YOU dear, '
Love is a vow,
On this day ever
Now and forever.

Respectable Poet

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!

Love is mythical

as it bears indefiniteness

and truly immeasurable;

But myth or not

such being an emotion

has possessed every heart

be it a commoner or royal

for its impact is great in life .

A verse or two of innate sentiments,

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.
