Family Life
marvin m brato Nov 2018
Family is a basic unit in society
created through love and integrity
nowadays families are breaking apart
one can predicts the demise 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 accord
violates 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!

Judge Me Not

Instinctive Mistake
marvin m brato Dec 2017
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.

Breaking My Heart
marvin m brato Aug 2018
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...
Ardous emotion I will cherish,
In my heart I always hold you dear;
Even if this means breaking my love for you.

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.

My Angel
marvin m brato Oct 2018
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.

Silhouette
marvin m brato Nov 2018
Mans' shadow expresses
a reflection of movements
by the one who stands
against the sun light
when it starts to sit.

It implies the existence
of the physical frame
and stature of man;
an aura of freedom...

As long as
the light brightens the day
and life continues to exist
the shadow mimics
the intentions of man.
marvin m brato Aug 2018
Now is your 57th birthday my brother,
In many years you and I are together.
Never at anytime we have made trouble,
In anything be it personal or about family,
Kindhearted you are towards our parents.

Many times you sacrifice your budget,
Of giving support in kind to father is great.
Rest assured your humility is your best asset,
Always make you better than all of us to date.
God shall bless you with peace and good health,
As always you live a good life even less of wealth.

Better be poor in money than being greed for riches,
Real love of parents isn't measured how much one shares.
A good offspring supports his old folks in better or worse times,
The only time one realizes the value of relationship is when it wanes.
On this note you and I are together in serving our parents till the last.

Sin is tempting

Sins are alluring

induce instinct indulgence

Yet, if one humbles

Direct your drive for good intention with action.
On to your determination to institute work decorum.

All your efforts as a leader shall mark as a legacy,
Unique as you do it humbly and with utmost efficiency.
Decency is your mode of performance which is remarkable,
All have known you to be a dynamic forerunner and affable,
Never shall one forgets the good things you do for us SPMCians.

Committing a Mistake...
marvin m brato Aug 2018
Individuality is an innate personality
Physical attribute is a hereditary quality
Yet our attitude is a developing feature
It becomes systemic when being nurture.

Life is not perfect as we are only human
Diverse factors challenge the honor of man
Morality is a test to achieve the level of civility
Not easy to project it if self-conviction is faulty.

Committing a mistake is the nature of humankind
As man is lured to various worldly desires to unwind
The obligate blunder signifies weakness of character
Of the individual and never sort of a universal matter.

In the family, talents and physical attributes are inherited
But the attitude of a person can only be influence not ******
Environmental factors in and out become an acquired interest
Such that the mistake of one shall not become the fault of the rest.

Lethargy
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Life is oozing with innate vigor
as sunbeams caress the earth.
Flora sprouts a welcome bliss,
as fauna makes merry a novel day.

The cycle of life is constant
as timepiece keeps clicking,
To reckon how moment in time
promenades into the state of trance.

Though life is quite short
man still experiences apathy,
After existence becomes dreary
when one yields to irrational stance.

Sense of purpose once lost
makes any person susceptible,
To cause dejection and fraught
as if life is a smudge of indolence.

Silent Liberators
marvin m brato Aug 2018
Most do not comprehend
why poets instinctively tend
to express their substantial view
with words of poetry for others to review

Words depict expression
of creativity within a vision
it may not only meant animate things
but of variability on how the mind rings

Poets possess innate intuitions
quite distinctive as their notions
in liberating all the intricacies of life
enthuse meaning to every one's strife

Freedom withheld in one's being
can only be freed without seeing
the actuality of a sentimental lit
but learn it through a poet's wit

Emotion has many faces to see
as though it's like waves at sea
runs deep into the human heart
only be known when one is hurt

alas, hear ye the poetry
through the poets who try
instill into the reader's mind
vivid realities in life you shall find

Love life is a sentimental tone
of those consume by its tune
vulnerable to dependency
educe to losing potency

Relationship becomes stifle
endearment turns baffle
leaving doubting hearts
adoration now departs
tampering the grace
implies a grim phase
of a broken bond
not all understand

Marriage of lovers
at the end uncovers
real love is just fantasy
reckon as mere fallacy
in due time truth comes
account of what love becomes
girl and boy are broken hearten
ends their matrimony forgotten

Life has been monotonous
Since the time I see the world
Melancholy lingers in my mind
Where in solitude I meditate
As my heart starts falling...

Life has been tremendous
Since the time I start to react
Intuition filling my innate senses
Awakes my valued sentiments
As my heart starts falling...

And the moment you came
Life has become harmonious
I now appreciate being alive
With your care I feel arduous
I am falling in love with you!

I can not fathom, the reasons
nor understand the significance
why does love just blossoms
in the garden of the heart's stance
and grows abundantly

Love I suppose, is freedom
of the heart and soul
It exists to sooth boredom
and brings zest to all
No matter what it does
Its nativity is a call

For love is love
Boundless and true

Sex before Marriage
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Marriage sanctifies ***,
*** consummates marriage.
But why prefer *** before marriage,
is there one or more reasons to consider?

Virginity:
Maybe its still men's quest,
preliminary tests for would be best.
Practical mating could be marked,
as something to indulge doing art.

Sensuality:
The best part in *** is sensuality…
that each mate could get from the act.
The manner how partner performs well
is much desired by all romantic lovers.

Sexuality:
Science could enhance state of sexuality,
surgery can recreate the transformation.
By *** before marriage a person discerns,
the smart way to test your lover's capacity.

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,
Then *** before marriage is practical gauge.

Daydreaming
marvin m brato Jan 2018
Joy and peace of mind I long to savor
I always pray God grants me this favor.
Lover too I wish will come very soon
Like any gal I also long for the moon.

Reminiscing the love I had in the past
Every lover I had was not meant to last.
Yearning for someone who will stay long,
Enduring the emptiness at this point in time
So lonesome I am dreaming of a love sublime.


Today I am still daydreaming
Of my ideal prince charming.
Yet it takes time to know anybody
On the right time and place with somebody.
Now i realized that love is like a simple logic
Giving a share of oneself without any gimmick.
marvin m brato Aug 2018
Joy marks your birthday my friend,
Every year you get wiser to no end.
A gal dedicated to her responsibilties,
Now is the time to hurdle greater duties.

Continue what you do best in work being smart,
Always deliver the great things in doing your part.
Never succumb to stress but act well courageously,
Tactful in your act with humility to show talent greatly.
Ensure to resolve all the challenges with dignity and style,
Reserve your energy for worthy things and do rest awhile.
Overall many know that you are quite an asset to SPMC.

Reciprocal
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Wife and husband

reciprocate through love,

as a centrifugal force

that settles only

to one another.



Wife and husband

reciprocate through understanding,

as a bonding conduit

to resolves electrifying

disagreements.



Reciprocating wife and husband

make love and understanding,

as best way of communication

that sustain the romance

for lasting relationship.


When reciprocating collapses

between a husband and wife,

romantic expressions cease;

and the marital relation

becomes sour and arid.



Reciprocating with each other

through love and understanding,

builds up stronger foundation

for both the wife and husband;

blessed in a happy marriage.

Being in love so deeply
Attraction so strong really.

Under our heart's command
Gentle touches of each hand.

Beautiful world I now dwell
In loving you so well.

Caring and thoughtful grandma,
Our love and memories of you
Never will be forgotten.
Sincere were your concern for us,
Often you gave sound moral advises.
Real were your encouragements,
Comforting words that you shared.
In your own little ways you helped us
Achieved our dreams.

Being our grandma you were great.
Respect for parents and obedience to God
Are few of the good virtues you taught us.
Till the end of your life you kept saying:
'On whatever you do, do it to glorify God! '

Prayer was your source of courage, courage,
And the promises of Jesus your hope.
Death did not separate you from God,
In His kingdom you will reunite with Him.
Let all your good deeds be our guide,
Let your faith in the Lord become our legacy
Open for us to simulate.
A tribute to my grandmother who left at the age of 91

Joy has filled my heart now,
As you and me made a vow.
Never again shall I become sad,
In this life I can not become mad.
Surely I am happy as ought to be,
Since you my love are now with me.
And I am grateful for this brand new love,
Heaven-sent blessing you are from above.

May our love grows with commitment,
All moments we share mutual sentiment.
Never shall our love becomes devoid of trust,
Give and take innate feelings to resist the rust.
And we shall join hands to hurdle every life's tests,
No more worries to think as we both take the best.  
Dreaming is good but we have to work the ways,
Or plan the future while counting golden days.
God binds our love till the end of a lifetime.

Care and devotion we hold deep,
And shall stay strong for us to keep.
Stay sweet my love with full romance,
In this life we have now let us enhance,
By making our bond molds a great stance.

Love & Sex

Love one another connotes adoration
By a being who cares for a special one,
Other than himself to please his partner.
True love offers sacrifices for his beloved;
It does not expect any reward or idolization,
And willing to give way for the sake of love.

*** is an ****** action engage in sensual indulgence
Of persons intimately and explicitly in a relationship.
Making love is a romantic phrase express in ****** act,
Lust plays a role to unlock the aesthetic *** experience.
Love though can exist without love as well as *** without ***!

when family was put to risk

When two hearts are soul mates
they are destined to converge to last
though amidst the dwindling ordeals
one partner about to quit the struggle
yet the other held and compromised

Couple supplements each other
Thus, it complete the two to tango
the dance is performed as music plays
love, marriage and family are made whole
In the end you and I reunited for love so true

Droplets flow from this unhappy eyes;
Induced by this systemic expression
Of the emptiness feeling in this heart,
Contained in solitude as you bid "farewell! "

Feeling drained and gasping for your love,
If you will...please come back to stop the rain!

Marriage is a sacred vow
an innate romantic chain
that bind the devotion

Yet along in the way
temptation intrudes
into the privacy

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.

How much more like me who is nobody.

Falling for you is not my mistake,
No matter what happens I will take.
It is a price that I am willing to pay,
Should you accept my love today?

I may not be a perfect mate,
I know you have a better date.

And can please you darling.

Poet is a poignant being

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

Natal Day - Poem by Marvin Brato Sr
Whenever it is your birthday my friend,
Enjoy the moment and be happy to no end.
Nothing more important in life than stay living,
Care for your health as it is priceless and lifesaving.
Even when getting older yet it's a step being smarter,
Spend the free time with family and friends to feel better.
Leave no place for negativism but allow space for positivism,
In this world we only live once so let live with much optimism.
None else can decide for what you want to do but yourself only,
Advise may be solicited from others but the finality is yours fully.

Ciming home alone may accentuate inner solitude,
And yet being a stong woman you incite fortitude.
Do what make you glad and share the joy with everybody,
As you have a good heart and hold no antipathy for nobody.
Onward to your adventures as single with much bliss to give.

Life is not perfect

People are not perfect

the actions maybe a taboo
but if you hurt nobody
then maybe it is OK

Inutile Husband
marvin m brato Aug 2018
The power of a desire,
Counts on how much dire;
A husband wants for himself.
Sort of gain for one owns self,
Capacity to sustain masculinity.
The ability to achieve into reality
A dream in life that should not go futile,
But, if such action fails is a mark being inutile.

Most likely a husband strives to get,
What he aspires in life as his target.
Exhausting all the power within him,
Still he cannot reach there to win.
Things he has set in his mind,
Yet realizarion he cannot find.
Being inutile causes his strife
Thus, better keep a good wife.
