In my solitude

I think of you,

and my love lingers

in silence!



You ignore me

as though I don't exist,

yet I still persist

like a shadow...

When life becomes meaningless
no matter what you do seem useless
and all opportunities you grab wasted
broken dreams lurking with self busted
everything you hold on now starts to fall
drags you feel pushed against the wall
realization of life is at the cutting edge.

When life becomes the darkest
no hope of light makes you weakest
and things you touch 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 to feel 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.

After looking for a quite long
Now I found you, to me you belong
Nobody else will I ever love
Evermore  you're a gift from above.

Life with you is great and meaningful
Under all circumstances you're wonderful
Caring for you is my only vow
It's true love  that I ever feel now
Let me show you my sincerity
Let me do my responsibility
Give to me your vulnerability.

And I promise my homage
Nobody can do you damage
Sustaining for our good future
All we need is dare to venture
Let's take life's path and challenges
Determine all smart changes
On behalf for our love.

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!

In my solitude

I think of you,

and my love lingers

in silence!



You ignore me

as though I don't exist,

yet I still persist

like a shadow!

L et your thoughts live
o n every fiber of your soul.
O n the day you were born
n ever could anyone controls
e ven the weirdest thought
y ou create of being simply you!

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 game,
Heed to sincerity not shame.

Best love will live
On mistakes can forgive.
Now men fully understand
Innate love can withstand.
Freedom I dare 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 if your love I can 't set on fire.

The ocean waves

like influx of emotions

always changing course

depending on the forces

that stimulate the heart!

A heart filled with voracity

turns into a deaden meat.

Without emotions is a rock,

tough and hard not human.

Once power becomes an obsession,

by the man who turns into a monster.

Cold heartedly employs the demonic act,

just to satisfy his worldly lust and greed.

With a devilish mien he orders the ****,

all those who may challenge his autocracy?

For if his forefathers had made it their tradition,

Then, he may as well ordered the horrific bloodbath!

Misty breeze hugs me,
as I surf the nature's plain;
wish you are with me.

Your warm embrace brings me fire,
soothes this lingering pain;
wish you were with me.

My lovely girl is getting prettier,
As a young lady you are smarter.
Rest assured that I am always be here;
Zealous as ever to support your ambition...
Aspiring that you'll march on the graduation.

Please stay steadfast as you are my girl!

Do not quit my love amidst the difficulties,
As you do your best, gone shall be your worries.
Walk with pride as you venture in this life's challenges,
Never surrender ask God's guidance and you''ll not fail.

Better be poor in luxury but rich in discipline,
Real success is realized when skill is well-trained.
At the moment just comply the demand of the time,
Tomorrow you shall reap what you sow like gold mine.
Onward to achieving your goals and may God bless you!

Life is a river of living riches
As is the bountiful nature itself
Filled with wonderful living things
All beautiful, essential and splendid
Of which fate evolves within specifications
Where opportunities abound around in surge
Awaiting pleasure for whoever sees it through.

Life is a forest of living ideas
As is the thoughts of the mind itself
Filled with voluminous vivid aspirations
All beautiful, essential and so profound
Of which dream arises within capacities
Where inspiration triggers able perspiration
Awaiting success for whoever works it through.

Life is a display of living arts
As is the outcome of imaginations itself
Filled with colors from the talents of poets
All beautiful, essential and very adorable
Where love becomes the ultimate feeling
Awaiting zest for whoever wishes it through.

When the world seems hopeless
And our minds are preoccupied
Making the senses dull and arid
That there is nothing else to do
But raise our eyes to stargaze.

Stargazing somehow enervates
And rekindles innate sentiments
Enliven the soul with new hope
Giving life the strength it needs
To withstand vagaries we face.

Stargazing somewhat a dream
An intricate syllables of living
That we try to decode its value
In slumber we can only foresee
The probabilities of our future.

May tomorrow makes you realize my boy
In this world your life is not a toy
Can you not listen to my lecturing
Hear me when I am talking
At this moment in time
Exert your effort to shine
Let your energy flow freely
At things worthwhile not deadly
Now is the time to understand
Go for good things at hand
Evil things never bring good
Living with it excites bad mood
Overcome all trials as you could.

My son I do care for you
And your mom too loves you
Reach out for your ambition
View life as innate inspiration
In the end you will succeed
Now act best and proceed.

Play your part as cool
In dealing with any fool
Zealous act is best
At time to pass a test
Receive all good advices
Real man can say no to vices
On his own stead without caprices.

Beware of evil company
Refute the tale of baloney
Attend to those with good characters
Treat them as your own brothers
Over the bad others.

' I Found My Wife'' - Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

My mother once said:
'Son, find the right girl to marry'
was her best advised that day.
She meant that I find a girl
who is loyal, bright and pretty
an ideal gal she wanted for me.

But, wherever I look I can't find
the ideal maiden right for me.
Many gals look refine and beautiful,
just like the woman my father married.
So I just pray that someone will come
a woman just like what my mum wants.

Today in 30 years I have been married
our love still lingers with zest that blaze.
Truly I can say that she isn't the woman
whom mother wants for me to marry
But I can proudly answer her today:
'Mother, Miliza is the woman for me!

She maybe not an ideal woman
As she is not perfect in all ways
But my heart always beats for her
That my mind can't stay sane without
True love need not be an ideal someone
Yet it is the happiness that counts in love!

Is the state
of having
accomplished
nothing
out of
something.

Did you failed today?

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!

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

Man's will
is the determination
to survive
despite all the tribulations
through hard work

and

Man's faith
is the commitment
to succeed
in spite of the difficulties
through innate conviction

It is by man's willpower
that he perseveres to pursue
his dreams to make it a reality
and through faith
he becomes optimistic
that success
is a great possibility

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 amongst 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 weakling?

My life is not pure
as I am constantly lure
often to mundane pleasures
which filled me with much pressures
to seek further more for self contentment
but in the end it only created resentment

Yet, when you came
my viced life has tamed
As I liquefied from an ice
when I saw into your eyes
the true love I have now found
marked in your smile so profound

When I sleep

i dream of vivid things

as though I walk the aisle

with you holding my arms,

upon waking up each day

I see you are quite reality.



When I go to work

i ambition of many things

as though I wish I am rich

with you to share pleasures;

upon reaching the house door

I see you are questioning reality.



When we got marred

i thought of no one but you

as though we're destined as one;

with you around I feel happiness

upon realizing what is happening

I see only me knowing you are reality.

Just to let you know my dear,
every moment I wish you're near.
no one else I have dream about,
never will this romantic love falls out...
yes, this is genuine please don't doubt.

Let me discern your feeling,
yearning for your love is exciting.
never will my heart cease in hoping.

Be my darling that I adore,
and I will not ask for more.
let me dream of tomorrow,
to see you ease my sorrow.
and though you seem to ignore,
zealous love of mine will explore.
at least through this humble poetry,
real adoration I express to you today.

I am a poet

and so many others

like most of such kind

I am a sentimentalist

who expresses freely

the innate emotions

and thoughts within

my soul that would

like to let it known

to the world around

that no matter what

every person desires

and wants in this life

its not how big or small

your achievements that count most

but by knowing that through poetry

a soul has been enlightened with hope

and joy believing that he is not alone

for such thing is priceless than a Nobel Prize

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

A still life
Being alive in space
Seeing through the mind
Gazing at the blank wall across
Comprehension is beyond this world
Understanding nothing but own melancholy
That resides in the abyss of emotion
Residual sentiments accumulate
A weight gaining inside
A still life.

You sweetly utter my name
But you love another dame

Your love I know
Is only for a show

Your kisses on my lips
Excites hatred that sips

Your touch on my skin
Is like a penetrating pin

Your hugs on my hip
Is like anaconda's grip

You can not fool me now
I shall forget you somehow

This foolish love is a disease
That has to to be cured to cease

Is the only way this hurting pain
Can vanish with freedom to gain

Life is made of colors
Variant shades radiate
Like a crystal diamond
Projects mystic beauty
That brings forth joy

Poem is written with colors
That sprout from the heart
Draft by the mind so keen
As it tune in with emotions
That shines forth love

Poet expresses varied colors
Possesses influx sensibilities
Of different level and degree
Driven by the urge to indulge
In creation of poetic thoughts
That gives forth inspiration

White, black or brown colors
Do not really matters at all
A true poet has immortality
His sensitivities are sharp
Like the brightly lit rainbow
He is a multi-colored talent

Often times the pain stings,
Left part of the arm it clings.
In the middle sternum lingers,
Valve of aorta seems calcified.
Infusing blood quite irregular,
As life flows in intermittent.

Many times breath is shallow,
Or becomes rapidly gasping.
Risk is enclosing to the end,
As though death is certain.
Groping into myriad veins,
And whispers sad lullaby.
Birth itself a mark of death,
Reasons cannot even defy.
A reality that is destined...
That life has finite end,
On earth for all of us!

I wish to be wise,
with colored words of poetry.
To write myriad sentiments
derive from the thoughts of heart,
and freedom with touch of love!

Mango tree grows
along the roadside
none bothers to look
green leaves wave
asking man a favor.

Come the harvest time
every golden mango fruit
being sweet to the taste
unselfishly gives life a flavor.

The passers once ignored
the mango tree by the roadside
now so adamant to devour its juice.

Ever so green as the mango tree
leaves' chlorophyll cooks the honey
as it captures the sunbeam at noon
is sharing its blessing to fill our hunger

Man is compulsive and daring
in dealing with life out in the wild
carelessly threads the uncertainty
heading into the field to seek luck
and expecting reward of his action
even though he does not quite know
lot of things happen beyond one's control.

Man is persistent and aggressive
at getting what he wanted in this life
rushing into things without much thought
vying for secular success and pleasures
instead of securing better options to deal
not knowing that in the end he only get nil.

Being human, man becomes susceptible
ruining his life by circumstance of ignorance
at indulging in making abrupt unwise decisions
tries to satisfy his craving for own self exaltation
over others in the pursuit of his greedy ambitions.

Life is a realm of grandeur,
As God had created it to be!
For us all to take pleasure in
And indulge in the exaltation,
Of Him as the Divine Supreme!

But life has became forlorn,
As Satan had wanted it to be!
For us all to experience sufferings,
And abandon our faith to connive
With him as the fallen angel!

To do right or wrong?
Is for an individual to decide,
For Jesus had died on the cross
To redeem all our sins,
For us to gain the everlasting Life!

Do you do right or wrong?
Is all up to an individual,
For Lucifer had lured us to evil
To drag us to damnation,
For us to perish into the eternal death!

Would you cry then?
When forgiveness is too late,
And tears run dry.
Your soul gone astray,
Into hell
Under the Heaven!

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'!

Again here comes Christmas time
The celebration is quite sublime
As families join to party together
Momentous event for having to gather

Is it only for gifts that we come
Each Christmas when everyone is welcome
To share the festivities of Christ's birth
When Christians converge to experience mirth

Christmas is sanctification of Christ's love
To share it to all mankind as a gift from above
Grinch said Christmas does not come from the store
Believing it is a special day that is a little bit more

The beauty in poetry

is not seen by the eyes

but felt through emotion

contained in the human soul!

Poetry is artistic expression
that excites innate impression
of finite and infinite environment
which made up our human sentiment

Poetry is emotional exposition
that thrives from within our notion
quite a freedom of exposing our intents
liberating concealed reaction it contents

Poetry is kind true language
spoken by the heart to gauge
level of importance and essence
that make up the human existence

Poetry is poet's instrument
as a canvas to paint incident
that excites the imagination
of the mind that lit creation

Poetry is heart's avenue
of inscribing what is new
that describes the present
with kindness to represent

Life is a maze of adversities
Myriad tribulations filling its route
As though it is a ****** killing field
Where hardy hearts fought the battle
Aim for secular honors depleting morality

Power blinds the innocence of man
Hunger for more becomes his obsession
As one grabs ruining the dignities of others
To boast personal gratifications and caprices
To sustain the pinnacle of mundane pleasures

Greed corrupts the sincerity of man
It is the only thing evil doers can connect
And tempt the integrity of the good beings
As to what extend they could hold moral pride
And negate from indulging scandalous inclinations

I wonder how it started,
when you drawn the line.
Was it jealousy you felt,
or my attention you wanted?

You acted cold on me,
for quite a time I let it be.
Thinking it will passes away.
but it still lingers until today.

What have I done to cause it,
when all I do is love you?
Have I fell short of your standard,
or you simply have falling out of love?

Is it that easy for you,
to just tell me to go?
To nowhere of no return,
with no one else I can turn to?

I love you...
But you love another, .
And he loves you back.
Your bond has been strong.

I love you very much...
A feeling I cannot live without,
And I must do what I think is right;
To let go of the love you have for him.

I love you till the end...
Arduous emotion I will cherish,
In my heart I always hold you dear;
Even if this means breaking my love for you.

Remarkable Mentor (Judy Ann Napalit Nengasca,65) -
Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

Just mentoring is your innate forte and calling,
Universally knowledgeable in vital specific thing.
Decorum in doing assigned task is your standard,
Yet open-minded to paradigm shift is in your card.

Almost all interns you had trained have earned success,
Nobody could say they have not learned in the process.
Now, we are grateful for guiding us to perform our best.

Never in your vocabulary to spend any idle time,
All you do is cultivate knowledge like a gold mine.
Push to nurture in-depth ideas for intellectual growth,
A character of yours that accentuated your mental worth.
Lessons you taught made us understand the valuable principle,
Incite moral and good moral ethics for us to become responsible.
Today as Medical Technologists we are all proficiently capable.

Never will we forget the professionalism you have shown,
Enthusiasm you embodied will remain a legacy as our own.
None of us will smear the reputation that you have created,
Good example is the National Blood Program you executed.
As this was Dr. Asucion Paraan's initiative for a DOH project,
Such platform has proved as an effective tool none will reject.
Come retirement day marks your iconic stance apt to celebrate,
As you are our inspiration and role model for us all to emulate.

You 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

poet is a poignant 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.

My cellphone rings,
Bad news it brings.
A dear friend is now lying,
On her hospital bed dying.

Inflicted with a dreadful disease,
Cancerous breast that cannot cease
As it metastasize destroying her will,
And all body systems once so very well.

When we gather around her,
All our classmates are sad to hear
As she talks about her aspirations,
Which will soon end into frustrations.

Like a loving mum in trouble,
Her innate intuition is mumble
The ultimate request she dares,
Ask as final favor for us to share.

Her last wish is for us to assist,
Her eldest daughter just to persist
In her studies so she soon graduate,
And finish her degree on the right date.

A promise is made we will extend,
In whatever legal means to help spend
Just so a mother's dream will come true,
Then finally she leaves us happy not blue.

Nothing seems worth writing,
comprehension are in waiting.
I can't figure a significant topic
to express about with simple logic:
'that anything of interest to human
that enthuses a sentimental sound plan'
to express in form of poetic inscription,
for ardent readers to surf as an inspiration.

Poetry writing is the innate gateway
of people possessing an artistic way,
to articulate meaningful situations.
A mere thought of emptiness within,
triggers intimate imaginations to set in.
Such excites the instinctive artful creation
of poems that bring heartfelt fascination.
Thus, come all bards and move the world
with poetry to instill universal accord.

Blight ***
may get you ***,
Life is then shorten.

Keep my feelings unlock,
I dream to meet a girl.
Many passes through,
But there is not one
Ever captures my heart.
Real love I wish to come,
Love that sustains
Years of intimate affection!

Came a chance when
A candid picture I saw,
Bestows an exquisite beauty
of your innate countenance!

Can you blame me?
Happiness is now mine
At every moment when
Now and then I cherish
Pouring in this adamant desire
Of meeting you again!
Now that I found you,
God knows my desire.
Can not wait to see you,
Oh... my wish comes true!

I passed by you once
Our eyes met by chance
You asked why I stared
You are **** I bared

You seemed mystified
Smile you got satisfied
It signals to lit an ember
Of romance colored amber

Since then you always glide
Like a bird in heat on the ride
You always talk **** on the side
I too become arouse I must confide

Men like me though committed
Are weak to seduction submitted
So please excites me more my dear
It is an elixir as many guys would swear

All I think about in solitude is my angel
Your voice is music to my ear
A lullaby so lovely to hear.

None else I think of in school but you my angel
Your presence is an inspiration
A joy giving me consolation.

God I think has destined you as my angel
Your company is valuable
A bond we made is formidable.

Everything I think for is your welfare my angel
Your well-being is my happiness
A concern I do not like to mess.

Love is what I think I feel for you my angel
You are my very first one
And my only last to none.
