Priceless Tha A Nobel Prize
marvin m brato Aug 2018
Priceless...

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 enlighten with hope

And joy believing that he is not alone

For such thing is priceless than a Nobel Prize

Cherished Moments
marvin m brato Aug 2018
My love for you dearest
at all times is the best!
Rainbow shines brightly
on us after you said ' I love you! '
Uttering such is like magic
falling in love... is classic.

Being with you is my wish
and every moment I cherish!
Rare is my love for you,
all I need is you.
God is our bond,
unwavering love lives beyond.
In times when you kiss me,
real joy inside conquers me.

Sweetheart...
always you will be a part.
Whatever comes in the future,
your love I will truly adore.
109 · Oct 2018
Only If...
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Only if you stare
that I shall quite dare
to disclose what I feel
love I offer you for real.

Only if you say 'Yes '
that I shall truly confess
to marry you at the right time
when you are ready to be mine.

Only if you are willing
that I shall come filling
your heart with adoration
that enthuse great sensation.

Only if you promise
that you shall not dismiss
me as your life- time lover
then we shall stay forever.

Lost of Words...
marvin m brato Aug 2018
Actions speak louder than words
a practical demonstration of intent
that has a universal appeal to mark
the importance of a worthy appeal

But words though how limited
can color with difference the act
of any person who likes to express
something of worthy note to know

When caught with an awe at a moment
by something of remarkable significance
sometimes we run out of words to describe
our intimate token appreciation of its beauty

Even poets struggle for words to inscribe
about the purest expression from the heart
that can truly represent the candid images
of our imaginations into a realistic existence

To Mama
marvin m brato Aug 2018
Oh mother dear
Life for you is a challenge
Inspires you to always dare.
Viewing life like an arena
Into which you seem to fight
A tough Herculean foe.

Vibrant as the waves,
Active as young gals.
Reserve like a
Queen...
Unique as pearl.
Emotionally incline but
Zealous as a champion.

Most mothers are dominant
Over -protective and possessive.
Rare are you who understands
All our needs and dreams.
God gave you to us
As someone to love.

I Meant It
marvin m brato Oct 2018
After looking for so long
Now I found you, to me you belong
Nobody else will I love
And your are a gift from heaven above.

Life with you is great and meaningful
Under all circumstances stays wonderful
Caring for you is my vow
It is true love I feel for you now
Let me show you my sincerity
Let me do my responsibility
Entrust to me your vulnerability.

And I promise
Nobody can do you any damage
Sustaining for our good future
All we need is risk to venture
Life's path and challenges
Determining smart changes
On behalf of our love.

My Only Love
marvin m brato Sep 2018
Great thing is happening to me
Everything appears alive you see
Never ending zest I feel inside
Everyday this feeling does not subside.
Vow of love I offer to you my dear
In my heart it is only you I bear
Enchanted by your charm
Vibrating smiles so warm...
Expressing your beauty!

Sweet and loving you are my love
Untainted faith draws us like clove
Many admire your fair countenance
Being thoughful loving you is relevance
I found a gal quite pretty and best
Let me own your heart my dearest
I dream of finding someone
Now I found only one...
God knows it is You!

Sensitive intuitions you have in life
Undeterred by the rampage of strife
Make good of your leisure time
If you need me just call anytime
Nothing can stop me of caring
Girl like you is worth loving
Up to the end my love stands still
It has no boundaries and own will
Take this promise at freewill.

To Be Good
marvin m brato Aug 2018
A legacy I would instill
something made with a will
which can truly stands a lifetime
and emulated by generations of mine

I wanted just to be good
not someone best to behold
sometimes it connotes as the least
from among the million in a contest

being good is enough for me
its when I could love everybody
by sharing the good things I can do
without competing from others' ego

Better be good than best
because its an easier quest
without trying quite so hard
to prove oneself to get reward

Being good at heart is enough
it gives courage not being tough
where goodness will flow just naturally
in everything that is done wholeheartedly

Poetic Freedom
marvin m brato Aug 2018
Come one come all
those hearts of poets
flowing purged feelings
of myriad colors sublime
poems paint meaning to life

Come poets, poetess

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

Death (Loop poem)
marvin m brato Aug 2018
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

Casual Sex
marvin m brato Aug 2018
I saw your two alluring eyes looking at me,
Intruding into the extend of my bold masculinity;
Teasing me to challenge your desirous femininity.
Then you cam closer smiling without any reservation,
As though you knew I reciprocate to illicit action.

This time you hold me with your sleek arms
And kiss me on my cheeks to gesture no harm;
Bewitching me with words "like to do it with me? "
I was stunned at the fast phase of your suggestive act,
No words came from me but I felt the stimulating desire!

Finding ourselves in a secluded chamber
Exploring the angles of each other's physique,
Was quite a sensual extravaganza of casual ***?
It was a free act much more induced no responsibility;
But, how shall I know for sure that I am free of risk?

Philippines
marvin m brato Jul 2018
Philippine, my motherland!
how beautiful you are to know and see
in being a thousand islands to venture
landscapes quite panoramic, beaches white
i adore being a Filipino born to live here
people so nice keep smiling amidst poverty
peace loving, honest, caring and sincere
in close family ties is the legacy we have
never to abandon our culture as Filipinos
even when foreigners shall come to conquer
stand for sovereignty and never surrender.

Heart's Desire
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Looking out in my window pane
I see the sun sitting on the lane;
At the edge of the mountainous range.
The sundown lit a nimble luminescence,
Across this spot where I sit ever-since.

The panorama is a contrast of a sun that rises
Like the life itself it brings out some surprises;
One day there is brightness then the next darkness.
Now as i see the dusk I feel joy amidst pulsating pain,
I am glad you are far in quest of success to acquire gain.

Yes we agreed for you to leave this motherland,
For I believe in your strength that you can stand.
Against all odds as you are smart and independent,
Yet you cannot stop me to feel worry and insecure.
As you are alone in your endeavor and adventure

My heart ache as you and I are not together now,
I wish that every moment we can share joy somehow.
The pain of loneliness seem to engulf me in darkness,
While sitting on this window pane longing for you beside;
Together in slumber and wake up to see the sunrise outside.

Seeing Beyond
marvin m brato Oct 2018
'Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder'
is a great poetic declaration
ever written by a bard,
that speaks of truth.

People just feel the wet in rain,
but farmers see an abundant harvest.
While others discern hit only in sun,
but many anticipate such for summer fun.

People are awed by external beauty,
few consider more of internal attribution.
Finding true beauty in anything that we see
comes from inside -out in total personality.

Beauty is never all physical
but it can be psychological,
also mental and emotional.
so let us see things beyond!

Eternal Love
marvin m brato Aug 2018
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.

Infinite Romance
marvin m brato Aug 2018
Love-making is different from loving
it's a mere physical act void of adoration
driven only by an ocular sensual attraction
at the spur of the moment without commitment

Loving is unique as it exceeds physical criteria
it's a sentimental indulgence cater with romance
share by lovers who caress each other with respect
as loving hearts truly instill ecstasy at its best stance

True love is beyond love-making
it does not seek finite satisfaction
but a lifetime endearment as elixir
to sustain romantic ties till the end

The Poetry
marvin m brato May 2018
Poetry has possessed me
like a wide river pool twirling
where fresh sentimental thoughts
cascading an innate surge of passion.

Poetry has inspired me
like sunrise that awakens
to brighten my being with joy
and urge my indulgence to inscribe.

Poetry brings pleasure to me
encourages this soul to express
innate human reactions to existence
that accumulate as I meditate in solitude.

In One Love
marvin m brato May 2018
As anyone else does perceive

But its rhythm becomes sublime

When another fits its tune in time.


When I meet you today

Queer feeling strikes my way

As though I am being enchanted

By ardent love that kept me haunted.


And when both our eyes convene

A spark of magic brought us serene

That seems holding the breath within

Grasping the our hearts with love between.


And we dine together to celebrate

Our meeting quite swift but deliberate

For there’s nothing else that can suppress

When two hearts in one love gives caress.

Edge of Reasons
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Thing is a reasonable matter.
If it occupies space
and has weight,

that makes thing a matter.

Life is a reasonable matter.
If it defines space
and has weight,
are reasons
that makes life a matter.

Love is a reasonable matter.
If it holds space
and has weight,
are reasons
that makes love a matter.

Death is a reasonable matter.
If it crushes space
and has weight,
are reasons
that makes death a matter.

Slice of Life
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Life is set on a crossroad
as we all carry a heavy load
to decide which way to tread
quite a choice we have to lead

Life is set on finite time

act we must to gain advantage
or just wait for self to wastage

Life is set for our action
indulge in good interaction
get a slice of life and do our part
accomplish something before we depart

Love Speaks
marvin m brato Oct 2018
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!

Illusion Of A Poet!
marvin m brato Jul 2018
I cherish music
But can't play a tune
I love songs
But can't even sing
I know
I can't be a musician
But my heart is full
With saccharine melodies

Life for me
Is sort of a lullaby
that flows in variables
From ballad to acoustic
Or country beats to modern
Whatever kind it may be
My existence is a composition
From which derive innate melody

Music is an expression
Contains ardent sentiments
That decipher the mysteries
In songs played in the heart
The love, hate or ennui
Stimulate the emotions
Enthused influx of inspirations
Stimulate life's meaning

I can not feel life
as a poet
If the music dies

Fulfilling Metamorphosis
marvin m brato Oct 2018
Bonding together
both fertilizing
through love
lit a new life

An infant grows
in the darkest womb
of a mother in waiting
while the father working

In timely birth
bare and innocent
the infant boy crying
confirmation of a wonder

Soon the boy reaches teen
explores an adventurous life
becomes a man of ambitions
success he shares with his wife

At adulthood he is fulfilling
being a husband and father
though not a perfect individual
yet lives an exemplary existence

Old yet a happy man
he sets as an ideal epitome
as good and productive citizen
and in his death many pay respect

Intimate Wish
marvin m brato Aug 2018
Self-fulfillment is an ultimate boost,
heralds inspiration to achieve more.
aspirations never impossible to attain,
requires only discipline and determination.
man however is not an island in this existence,
a special someone should fit in to excite an essence.
none else in this life is best to experience but innate love,
every fruit of labor is sweeter if shared with a special being.

Even Queens gave up their thrones for love,
reckons the ultimate adventure for happiness.
a heart like mine also desire for such an intimacy,
surfing with my true love as any girl ever dream of.
moving on as I thread in life's challenges I shall dare,
onward in my quest I shall find love...my intimate wish!

for my woman with zeal.

My wife is no ordinary,

she puts meaning to my life,
lit wisdom to resolve my strife.

Never shall I leave my woman,
for someone who seduces a man.
I shall be strong in my commitment...
her love alone my joyful contentment.

Sex Measures Love?
marvin m brato Aug 2018
Do you love me?
Yes I do!
Then prove it to me...
How can I do it?
Let us make love (***) !

Is *** a measurement of love?
Surely no; or perhaps yes!
Truth is, it depends on the couple.

Some people use love to deceive,
others use *** to take advantage!
Whatever the case maybe...
Love and *** ca co-exist;
Or either one can stand alone.

Pleasure seekers desire *** than love,
Have multiple partners to boast machismo.
While few romantic being seeks love than mere ***,
To achieve the pinnacle of an immeasurable infinite love!

Windowpane
marvin m brato Aug 2018
Life is a contained existence

that each person solely own

sharing it with others is a choice

like peeping through the window

could help decide whether or not

to open the door for relations



Looking through

one sees the panorama

that shows loveliness or malice

the world has possessed

as it displays the scenic realities

of the human existence



Our hearts too mimic

the opening of a pane

when it dares to venture

as its feeling best for love (or hate)

upon reckoning of freedom

through the windowpane

bounded with innocence
but with an innate soul

I was pampered
as I grew

pa and ma

But, I was taught
to live a simple man
with pride
of humility

Though my heart is ambitious
my mind remain cautious
as life is like a maze
to resolve

My only goal
is to become known
as someone true
to my poetic expressions

And when I pass
i hope you discover
the world I live
like most commoners

my poems
are reflections
of my life
as a simple man
who shall return
to earth

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.

Inner Self

Beyond the placid place
in every peaceful place
lies the mystic clandestine
that molds how life is destine.

individual existence is unique
with varied distinctive mystique
yet how one thrives in this life
depends how man tackles strife.

As life is mysterious
man himself is curious
to explore boundaries
to seek fulfilled glories.

The inner self has a core
excites a challenging score
whatever happens in the end
one should be true not pretend.

Rarely one can find a lady
Of simple note like a melody
Whose innocence so intimate
Emanates beauty so innate
No one I know can compare
All your qualities I dare.

On the day I saw your countenance
Never before does my heart dance
God knows what I feel in that instance.

Admiration for you now I learn
Be with you is the thing I yearn
River of thoughts about you flow
At all times seeing your charm glow
Never before do feel this emotion
True love I offer for your consideration
Even if I have to wait for so long
Surely I will stay tune like a song.

Memories
marvin m brato Oct 2018
As a young man...
I wonder what will become of me
I dream to be somebody
I query for the ways

What is life's worth...
if there is no joy
nobody to care for
and without love

Then I meet you...
you are so nice pal
so kind, so friendly
and God-fearing too


Only then that I...
saw the innate beauty of colors
and felt the blaze of sunshine
and savored love

I am a man... .
a bit mysterious
yet feels confident
and quite mature

You are a woman...
beautiful lady
so sweet maiden
and smart gal

I love you...
as what my heart dictates
that I want you as much
as I need you by my side

And you loved me too...
as your best buddy
like a dearest friend
and soul mate

So we share the best moments...
of caring for each other
sharing happiness together
and savoring ardent love

Suddenly you decided...
to leave and forget
and stop caring
by ending your love

Why? Was it worth...
your freedom to live
and quest for achievements
for a secured future?

And we parted ways...
with two-broken hearts
and teardrops falling
in dire solitude

But now I am still...
thinking deeply
while longing solemnly
waiting for your return

In my loneliness...
I think of you vividly
my soul wishes for you
my heart is awaiting

Just to realized...
that you are gone now
and we are not meant
for each other

And what left in me...
a scarred heart
wounded by frustration
of your lost love

So I am trying hard..
to exit from the pain
and erase you
by starting anew

But before I finally do...
I still like to think
I still want to analyze
I still wish to remember
that one girl I have loved
had once made me a happiest man


And now it marks...
only as MEMORIES

filled with emotions concealed
in my heart wanting to disclose

as my innate tool of expression

Looking behind bars of solitude
from this caged of self seclusion
I can view with an insightful eyes

but I can not help to be prolific
as I have much thoughts to share
to the world for which I shall be free

Reiterating to you my devotion I say,
That I love you the more each day.

And much love for prosperity.

Only you I ever love so well.

Friendship

Lots of things we always share
even our own secrets we bare.
And we tackle all things under the sun
Heaven knows that it gave us much fun.

Friendship we have is formidable
In being compatible we acted adorable.
Good rapport is a relation we both like
Uncovering the bad ones we most dislike.
Even when our lives get low and rough
Reassurances we uttered make us tough.
On dealing with the trials and temptations
As friends we achieved triumphant solutions.

Many times in the past we almost lost
A relationship we build and cherish most.
God knows how much we two both care
Laughing at jokes that we salways share.
And being together after many long years
Never we become too proud to shed tears.
Gals like us must show and learn to survive,
In order our bond becomes strongly alive
To make this friendship last with pride.

Only His Best
marvin m brato Oct 2018
A man who still lives
Has poetry in his heart
Sentiments adamantly beat
As innate essence of existence

A poet writes from the heart
An instinctive inclination flows
A worse thought may be his best
Though not in accord with the code

The world may become the critic
Judge the poems based on races
And how best the grammar is done
A form universally accepted as norm

A best poem is sole monumental
It is the value of wisdom that counts
Lessons expressed than a popularity
The true barometer of what is called best

A dead poet is best remembered
By his only best read compositions
Yet many are still worth the discovery
Poems may not as best but are great

Gentle touches of each hand.

In loving you so well.

On everything we share
Now I will always dare.
Echo my love freely
Sweet and tenderly.
