In wee hours
I set 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
inspire the various hues of stimuli
that I as poet captors such moment
it enthuse the element for contemplation

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.

Total darkness snaps
as the sharp beam exudes
into the barren wilderness
instills hope for the black soul
as the day awakes to shed light

New year unveils awakening
of the many loose faiths of men
when God is place at backstage
as he digs to seek mundane pleasures
and abandon the master-plan of the Almighty

After being stricken by calamities
Man has seen the truth in realities
that making himself as the sole captain
his suffers and life is saturated with turmoil
now is the time to welcome God as crack of dawn

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

Huu huu ma is in the spa!

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

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

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

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.

Man of legendary talent who
inspires humanity to unite and
congregates a million fans through
his magnetic songs that simplify
a thousand sentiments of humanity
exposing a multitude diversities
languishing in vague controversies

Just a human being who succumbed to
a lot of controversies in life just like any celebrity
continuing to survive by fighting the odds
kicking *** to assert certain innate rights
so that freedom may prevail in own self
over and above giving joy to others
now has come to an end in death

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

When heavy laden with frustrations
And the world seems cruelly unfair
Not even one cares of your existence
Nor read the poetry of your life's journey
Of feelings, dreams and your reasons
Life for you at times is a tribulation.

When your heart breaks with rejections
And your beloved leave you abandon
Not a single soul looks back at you
Nor utter a sole word of consolation
Of love and hope, not even a goodbye
Life for you at times become isolation.

Bad times come to us unexpectedly
At any second of the day as we live
In this earth where man is imperfect
Everyone is on his own accountability
As one thrives to be happy or wronged
Life at times is at the brink of desolation.

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
marvin m brato Feb 2015
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!

We are mortals
as human beings
you and I shall expire
time of the inevitable end

But what if you and I knew
as our doctors warn us anew
that we shall go within a month
to leave this existence that we hold

And what about the agony
that each our family shall feel
about our eventual death to come
couldn't it more painful than our fate?

Ah, nobody really knows
till the time of passing comes
for you and I should accept the fact
that everyone else is dying in due time

Because of love I am mesmerize
Even in my solemn slumber I fantasize.
Vigor in my heart is filling
Endearing and compelling.
Rare is this emotion I feel
Longing for him my desire swell.
Yes, I love him too well.

Just as I almost reach ecstasy
A downfall of pains crushed my fantasy.
Right in my chest the arrow struck
Almost died of a heart attack.
Now the man I love is gone
Today nor tomorrow he won't come.
I feel so empty and void
Living in sorrow I can't avoid.
Love I have lost
A man I need most.

Till you come my dearest friend
I gain new hope and without end
My heart is now revive
On the fact that I survive.
Love has to continue
And must be made anew.
Acrostic poem requested by a friend who lost love but find it anew!

Thing is a reasonable matter.
If it occupies space
and has weight,
are reasons
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.

My health maybe declining
at this point am not complaining
reason is we are all human beings
vulnerable, susceptible and mortal
i am not exempted nor anybody else
nothing in this would can last forever.
But I and everyone has the opportunity
reach for our dreams can be possible
as long as we are determine to claim
to do our best part with commitment
on the day we die we mark a legacy.

Marriage is a sacred vow
an innate romantic chain
that bind the devotion
of the couple in love.

Yet along in the way
temptation intrudes
into the privacy
of marital romance.

Third party comes
alluring temptress
breaks the chord
of marital loyalty.

The 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.

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
Dedicated to all men who walk the extra mile to become extraordinary!e

Love I thought can last a lifetime
As eternal as the stars in the skyline

Love I thought is pain free
Alive and lovely as the tree

Love I thought for us is everything
And only happiness it all could bring

Love I thought for us can not wane
Yet at the end, it succumbed to vain

Alas, the moonlight views we enjoy now flicker
And soon darkens as its bright grows weaker

Alas, the magic in our love has lose its power
And not an ember is left, it seems gone forever

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!

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

Reckoning love I obtain
Overflowing like fountain.
Now I feel no emptiness
Every second is happiness.
Love is what i need
Life is wonderful indeed.
Yes I finally found someone
None else but a special one.

Care and true love
A blessing from above.
Being in love so deeply
Attraction so strong really.
Heaven is where we stand,
Under our heart's command
Gentle touches of each hand.

Beautiful world I now dwell
In loving you so well.
Living becomes bright
Lots been going right.
On everything we share
Now I will always dare.
Echo my love freely
Sweet and tenderly.

with something great

is indeed a challenge
my sole lingering wish
joy will come to shine
upon graduation rites
comes the moment
of my achievement.

I vowed my loyalty to you
But I did not prove it though
Forgive and forget my pretense
I will be true to recompense.

Miles afar is your distance,
Emptiness I feel at this instance.
Love still beats strong but in chain,
At this moment my world is in vain.
No matter how I tried to win you back,
It seems to me you always back track..
Even then I am here to stay for you.

Say dearest that you won’t forsake,
I admitted it was indeed my mistake.
Love falters but it will still bear,
Let time heals the wound to clear.
And allow the scars to wither in time,
Can only hope you are still mine.
As for me I will disclose sincerely,
You are still my one and only.

I am locked-in within my soul
filled with emotions concealed
in my heart wanting to disclose
all these intuitions surging within

Oration is never my exhibit
but poetry is my sole release
real freedom I have truly own
as my innate tool of expression

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

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

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.

Being broke is dire frustration
reliance on self diminishes so low
only the spirit left alive yet weakening
kiss of death becomes the ultimate wish
endurance dwindles, self-esteem dying too
no longer inspired to take the second chance.

Dreams have lost their glitters
restricting ones interest to explore
even the simplest thing which give hope
and joy can not be seen by the blinded heart
mangled by failures that paralyzed the inner soul
settling down-west like a sullen sun to hide the pains.

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

I had loved you
It was my first time
I felt heavenly emotion
It was indeed a great feeling
I thought such love could not end.

I had loved you
It was my first time
But such had turned arid
As the time passed overtime
I thought such love would soon end.

I had loved you

But I have realized it now
My love for you could not leave
I thought such love should not end.

As the time goes by
All things aged
The seed is full-grown
Into a tree

The bud of innocence
Comes to maturity
Like the bond share
Turns better each day

We have had confusions
But we were young then
Now is the chance for life
To know each other

Life has come to prime
So let us do
To strengthen the tie
So it won't get lose

We must take the balance
By using the common sense
Least we find the score
And draw the line

To give and take
Is the secret ingredient
To cook the pie
To it's best

Married or not
For as long as together
Couple in love is better
Than bitter love in couple

My reminiscence of you in the past
Acquaint my thoughts of love that last
Real is the love I feel in my inspired heart
Incomparable and emotional on my part
Alas, a priceless gift only for you.

Come 24th day in February
Real celebration for a merry
Inevitably it is your natal day.
Since I cannot come to it
Expect my message though bit
Love is all i want to give
Definitely sincere and decisive
Alas, a true gift for you.

Yes, I will wait for a sign from above
Until your heart grants me your love.

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

as something that stimulates
the innate talent from within
that awaken the bards instinct
lit creativity as innate hallmark
