It all start in the eyes
that sees the alluring beauty
which lit the innate sensuality
of the ecstatic urge of humane senses
that blazes the desire for sensuous fantasy
enticing a close encounter of physical touch.

Lust is the ****** element of ***
undeniably a tempestuous interaction
of lovers who engage in the exploration
of the human inter-physical and emotional
expressions of the ultimate sense of sexuality
for without making love, essence of life is void.

When I walk into a place
Amidst busy people in haste
Heads turn to me I wonder why
As if they have seen a thing in awe
So I am oblige to smile and say hello

I think:
Maybe it is because I look neat and fresh
With a gentlemen haircut and shaven face
Or because of my manly aura and sharp look
Wearing rugged garb with a macho image I took

When I speak most people if not all listen
Though they are doing something in between
I raise my hand or move further they follow
I rant a phrase they also echo with pleasure
They love me each time I give them a lecture

I say:
These people must have seen something interesting
In my being that myself do not discover or forgetting
Maybe because I am cool and pleasant when spoken with
I inspire their imaginations taking the time with weight

When both men and women great me with esteem
I reciprocate to their acts with kindness as a friend
Many are receptive to the ideas I share without flattery
They ask for my opinion and request to meddle on something
To resolve their problems by giving them practical mentoring

This prove:
That I am a person of wisdom which has importance
I possess charisma that can convince with substance
My presence reassures those individuals who lost hope
My bold appeal excites the broken souls to stand and cope

When I just relax and calm in recollection
I think of the humankind and God's relation
I do not instill paradox clues about any religion
As I'm a sinner like everyone else who are mortal
I shouldn't be praised by those who think I'm moral

I confess:
I am only human and not a son or perfect father
I may have provided my family enough being a provider
Of simple things which I work hard to become upgraded
As what others have seen in me is what I am best rated

When women begin to act quite intimate with me
It is because I'm amiable and complaint as can be
I show no sign of abuse of their frailties but respect
I'm open to their innate expressions about love and men
To prove that I am not bias or against all sorts of women

In my heart:
Like all men I have a mother, sisters, wife and daughter
Females to whom I have to give respect, love, care with laughter
Also for whom I work hard to provide their all basic mundane needs
Thus, I want them to feel secure and happy by giving them good deeds

When some families gather together inviting me as guest
I heartily join them in their merriment with myself at its' best
With poems I give to them as complimentary act of my gratitude
Sharing them some sentiments about on what family should be like
Or innate expressions of love for others as legacy I want them to excite

In retrospect:
I have had some detailed episodes about a family life
I experienced it as a son and father both good and strife
In having to cope with the burden i raising a big household
That being a son and father I have innate duties to act bold

When at work with different kind of associates to deal
I am focus on my duties and react to colleagues quite real
They come to confer or ask to assist them finish their work
With all humility I conform to their requests with compliance
I believe harmony should prevail in a workplace to keep balance

I uphold:
I can generate cooperation by initiating support
I can be of significance by showing a good effort
I shouldn't complain if I don't like to be detested
I should mind my own business if I am not requested

When troublemakers come to confront me face to face
I hold my sanity and act accordingly without malice
I stand to reason with them on basis of truthfulness
To stop, look and listen then argue to reach a verdict
Hitches can't be solve if none settles the conflict

I insist:
Any battle can be won if willing to set an open argument
Existence with harmony is the essence of our earthly event
Why set fire if one can talk it out expressing sentiments
Pray and ask God's mercy and forgiveness than just laments


When acquaintances visit me with encouraging words on my bed
In moments when I am sick or sort of disheartened they do heed
They all wish me fast recovery and good well to come on my way
Maybe they have recalled I too have empathized for them somehow
In times of trouble that they have experienced in the past I vow

I understand:
Because these people may have thought I deserve attention
To reciprocate what I have done when they too need affection
As human I also understand the sentiments of the ordinary people
I undergone some burdens in my life but surmount those I hurdle


When my parents and children solicit adoration
I can't refuse to do my best to give consideration
Just like any good son and father I should do my part
They are my inspiration and reason why I desire to live
Longer than my lifespan that my love for them I can give

To my mind:
I owe my life to my parents for their sacrifices and affection
I want this legacy to pass on to my offspring as an inspiration
That when I am done they shall inherit the willingness to do well
In all aspects of mentoring their own families with innate goodwill

When friends and enemies gather for my own sake
To extend heartfelt condolences for my family on my wake
I can't count how many have sincere conscience being there
To console my family feeling lost of my presence with them
I can only wish that none shall be glad that I reach my end

I am thankful:
To have bold six children who are quite independent
A wife having a strong character for me is a complement
Surely I have shown them how to tackle all the life's tasks
To equip them with character to survive as courageous casts

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

poet Marvin Brato Sr

  


Inspired Pen - Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

Day by day you give me inspiration
Your graceful countenance beatifies me
The innate beauty that you possess
Captures my whole being... my very soul!

Wherever I go or stay, I always think of you
Even in my solemn slumber I see your face
In my vivid imagination, I can not erase you
I dream of you... my fairest one.

If only I have a face like that of Adonis
Or perhaps an intellect like that of Rizal
Who were paragons as being a handsome & a hero
Then maybe I would not have some difficulties!

A guy like me was born an introvert
A lone dweller in life's secluded horizons
As a Pisces I am quiet & sensitive
Yet, I can be a friend, an admirer... a lover!

I have not got enough guts to converse with you
Because I think... I am made a dreamer
And my only means of expressing my sentiments
Is through my pen...my world of thoughts!

Leadership is a challenge
Do what you think is best
yet consult for an affirmation
for cooperation is not guaranteed
if the majority support is not warranted

Time clicking always
Seems so fast for those who wait
Like everlasting
But too short for those who care
Spending with the one you love

Reality does comes to us
On the instant less expected
Seasonal trials may come and go
And often we have overcome them
Life is most cherish and enjoy with family
In all the ups and downs that molds our fate
Never have we yielded to complete frustration
As God has been our shield and source of blessings.

As time goes by each year
Man has grown older but wiser
And become stronger in every step
Nothing more valuable than being loved
The hugs and kisses of our dearest children
Every intimate moments we spend as couples.

Life is finite on this world
Eternity is a promise in heaven
Determined spirit leaves forever
Even the body yields to weakness
Stand with hope and knell to pray
Mankind are sons and daughters of God
As long as we believe and follow His will.

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 the thing everyone feels.

'You are lovely
with your smile so warm,
and your cheeks so soft'
as I see you each morning
when we wake up each day.

'You are lovely
with your smile so warm,
and your cheeks so soft'
as our love binds us strong
with trust and forgiveness.

'You are lovely
with your smile so warm,
and your cheeks so soft'
as we live surfing this life
and till death do us part.

'You are lovely
with your smile so warm,
and your cheeks so soft'
shall always be my praised
now and beyond for eternity.

If only poetry is food
then its easy to digest
and assimilate its content
to nourish and get satisfied

But poetry is inanimate
depicts sentimental intricacies
of human emotions filling the heart
with variable expressions to be extracted

Bards are gifted composers
who cook amazing compositions
of poetic arrays of exotic thoughts
like condiments educing nourishment

'You are lovely
with your smile so warm,
and your cheeks so soft'
as I hug you each morning
when we wake up each day.

'You are lovely
with your smile so warm,
and your cheeks so soft'
as our love binds us strong
with trust and forgiveness.

'You are lovely
with your smile so warm,
and your cheeks so soft'
as we live surfing this life
and till death do us part.

'You are lovely
with your smile so warm,
and your cheeks so soft'
shall always be my praise
now and beyond for eternity.

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.

A rhymester inscribes his notions in rhyme,
A versifier writes poetry in metered verses.
Another one does a free verse to write at will,
As a poet I do my own style which maybe bad.

A poet for me is someone who does an art;
He does rhyme, metered verse or free style.
His subject can be any matter under the sun,
It may portray about romance, myth or reality.

A poem I believe does not have to be literal,
It may state something superfluous or specious.
But if delve closely may meant a thing of logic.
And will instill a better understanding about life.

Nobody really is a bad poet except me,
Even commits mistake to write for poets.
For expressing my own opinions about them,
Is merely a token of myself as poet who shares.

The tight hug
you are giving
comes sort of stun
to my innate senses...

lighted a blaze to my innocence,
strikes the hub of my consciousness;
and enhances this awaken sensuality.

while

y our hot kisses
even more sensuous
induces heighten ecstasy
depicting pleasure so sweet...

lighted a blaze to my innocence,
strikes the hub of my consciousness;
and enhances this awaken sensuality.

Hug and kisses consummate love.

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!

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

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

Love speaks...
of thousands words,
enthuse infinite thoughts;
evoking innate sentimental
expressions of myriad colors.

Like rainbow...
love conveys candid hue,
which glitters chromatic rays;
and shades depicting emotions
of variable depths and meanings.

Courting speaks of adoration...
being sweethearts convey romance,
soon engagement promises devotion
and marriage consummates the vow.
all these... hold part as love speaks!

My pen got feelings
the moment I hold it
seems it possessed me
with sentiments

My hand scribbles
innate expressions
enthuse from my heart
the essence of my soul

Experiences composed
myriad colorful hues
of love and struggles
making me quite human

As long as ink flows
poetry will never cease
for those poets writing poems
with words of authentic beauty

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!

My heart beats for romance
seeks your beauteous countenance
every moment it reminisces the memories
when you and I savor the nectar of happiness

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

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!

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!

Rich or not
We all have got
Chances in lifetime
To live quite sublime.

More rich people become richer
And the majority poor more poorer
It's not how much money brings boost
But having enjoyed life not its cost.

Healthy body makes an active mind
Once sick can't make good things rewind
Beware of taking too much of everything
Good health is wealth and the best thing.

It was momentous
when our eyes met
sparkles like the stars
quite a wondrous feeling
when both of us interlink
through the window of love

It was a special vibes
that started the romance
made us feel on the pedestal
of the human mood of ecstasy
as if happiness stands eternal
as we savor the magic moment

Life is dull and meaningless
if there shall be no challenges
when one dares take such option
then man's existence has direction

Living is an adventure
it is never an easy venture
it comprises many obstacles
man can not just rely on miracles

To survive man has to be resilient
aptly use his mind and be patient
like climbing the hill in life's travel
maybe hard but it brings in marvel

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!

top!
Don't want to hear you speak again
the most abuse " I love you" phrase!
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
and here I am, hurt and broken!

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.

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.

Mine is a practical stance
As I am but an average man
Rarely do I interfere in others business
Vain to fight a view if it's not worth the effort
In being calm strength does accumulates
Nothing shall be lost if one acts quite civil.

Momentous episode does occur
Once in a lifetime whether one like’s it or not
Recognition for work well done is inspiring
Awaiting promotion though seems eternity
Gush of wishes often possessed you and me
At the end it is God's Will that shall truly prevails.

Better be humble in every endeavor
Real pain comes when one fails hard
And not one volunteers to comfort you
True triumph is when you accomplished
On time the given tasks with competence.

I sat to think
of something
to write about,
nothing comes.

Emptiness reign,
darkness overcomes
till slumber dominates;
suddenly an ember flickers
then the lighted portal opens.

My soul possesses the key
of the infinite flow of thoughts
inspired by various hues of stimuli,
that I as poet captors such a moment
the element of expressive contemplation.

'You are lovely
with your smile so warm,
and your cheeks so soft'
as I see you each morning
when we wake up each day.

'You are lovely
with your smile so warm,
and your cheeks so soft'
as our love binds us strong
with trust and forgiveness.

'You are lovely
with your smile so warm,
and your cheeks so soft'
as we live surfing this life
and till death do us part.

'You are lovely
with your smile so warm,
and your cheeks so soft'
shall always be my praised
now and beyond for eternity.

The mind is your brain cells design for thinking
Has the ability to measure and perceive life's values
Everyone possesses the capacity to use it for good

Many if not all have overlooked its importance
Inspired mind has ambition to pursue success in life
Never to quit in the midst of difficulties & trials
Dreams made real by using your brain cells to the full.

Beautiful mothers are easy to find
those that posses endearing love
make us feel secure at all times
and who fulfill our basic needs
those who comfort our fears
who carry our problems
share us happiness.

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

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.

Come one come all
those hearts of poets
flowing purged feelings
of myriad colors sublime
poems paint meaning to life

Come poets, poetess
let us convene together
be part of unified creation
poetry our inanimate legacy
a monumental gem to humanity

Come bards, inscribe
nothing limits our imagination
with minds wide as the universe
hearts magnanimous as the galaxies
share poetic freedom for all generations

Poetry is poet's innate being
thrives with self internalizing
with intellect can communicate
expresses sentiments quite innate

Romance is a poet's gateway
depicts gist to every inspired essay
the lingering urge to inscribe obsession
instinctively drive a poet blazing passion

Talent is a poet's skill
enthuses his artistic will
indulge in prolific compositions
his candid sentimental imaginations
inspired to create magical masterpieces
of poetry that comfort the hearts with graces

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"

Life is short, is a fact.
The reason why  we have to make the most of it!
Suffering is a sacrifice that we can decide to make,
A worthy time for making it up to our love-ones!

Human being
is perceptive,
being intelligent
wise than an animal.

Human being
is expressive,
being sensitive
instinctive than an animal.

Being human
living is a bliss,
destine to lead
superior than an animal.

Being individual
has innate choices,
be it right or wrong
excite challenge than an animal.

So dare to bare
true self and sentiments,
as we walk the endless crossroads
in this finite life better than an animal.

Beauty is Power, Smile is its Word

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.

I see all colors
in different perspectives...
excites sentiments
thus, instinctive poetry!

Flowers that came with love letters,
often made you smiled upon my visits.
reading my poetry aloud cheered you,
complimented with kisses as my reward.
every moment of those happy reminiscent,
secured the love we used to savor with zest.

My heart is becoming lonesome,
every day I long for your loving care;
now it dried up like a dying ember.

Then why you keep nagging,
of the things that you yourself don't share?

I wonder though if you still care,
now I doubt this love is still secure.
for today you're keeping a distance,
in almost everything that you do.
demands for secular pleasures,
endanger the emotional knot we tied.
love that blossoms before now dies,
infusing some doubts and few lies.
to both our hearts which start to melt,
yielding to the temptation of infidelity.

A feel of a prickly pierce
of a sting infusing the hurt
to specific site of our being
could be physical
psychological
or emotional.

Physical pain is tangible
damage by causal agent
that may be accidental
that could be sen logically
it it is treated appropriately
could heal on time accordingly.

Emotional pain is intangible
induce by sensitive reaction
to express human sentiment
about abhorrence and anger
that boosts the inner temper
may lead to self-disaster.

Psychological pain is mental
measure by the order of thought
of the person who undergo an ordeal
that affects the normalcy of his being
a disturb individual whose mind is losing
because of repeated inflection of torturing.

The pain is variable
whatever kind is trouble
it could be healed if treated well
no one is spared when it strikes

You kissed me goodbye,
It hurts I wonder why?
Such feeling was unusual,
Why you did that ritual.
Are you leaving me for someone?
Or just getting away to be gone!

I remember now my dear,
You asked me once if I care.
I do, was my answer to you,
And somehow you felt aglow.
Instinct dictates you acted weird,
Not believing what you have heard.

Then you finally left me alone,
Said final goodbye in the phone!
A tingling sensation run my spine,
Concluding you are no longer mine.
Inkling made true when I heard the voice,
'Come honey, make love and lets rejoice'!

Poet is a poignant being
who thrives in self internalizing
with intellect that communicates
expresses sentiments with instinct

Romance is a poet's gateway
depicts gist to every inspired essay

instinctively drives a poet's blazing passion

Talent is a poet's skill

Family is a basic unit in society
created through love and integrity
nowadays families are breaking apart
one can predicts the demise of such part.

Family today is loaded with adversities
frustrations emanate from social difficulties
lack of job security, or single-parent dilemmas
imminent divorce breaks troubled families in mass.

The origin of marriage had exalted family union
the Creator of humanity declared such dominion
'What God has put together let no man put asunder'
humans were created to glorify the Creator yonder.

God had brought Adam and Eve in harmony
'husband and wife should stick in matrimony
the pursuit of life-styles violate the holy accord
tainting the standard set by the Almighty Lord!

Greed for material things are the worse single threat
to family life because it gets in destroys relationships
drains most family of quality time, and innate camaraderie
if only God is made the center in the family there shall glory!

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!

Life has many things to offer
it depends on how we confer
to determine the opportunities
we can achieve by our abilities

Man proposes ambition
God disposes resolution
of anything we desire
if we work to acquire

The decision we make
whether or not to take
life's challenge quite gross
in life's bridge we must cross
