Behold the One with the Aries, the Ward of Santa Muerte
Our 16th President voted by 16 million Filipinos this 2016
The 1st President from Mindanao from being Mayor of Davao…Duterte!

He is One with MiJoRdGr (Miriam, Jojo, Rody, Grace)
The 4 Opposition Presidentiables who defeated Mar Roxas
And brought Liberal Party its great disgrace!

The One with the Aries from the Land with War
The Land of Promise – feared by typhoons, but filled with goons
So from her came a Liberator among MiJoRdGr!

That this One should war with our nation’s greatest horrors
-Drug Lords, Liberals, Treasoners, Criminals & Terrorists-
These powerful entities to our history are desecrators!

So by being one with lawmakers, law enforcers & lawful people
By the overwhelming power of the Supermajority
Our country’s greatest terrors…Du30 shall conquer them all!

But first, he must defeat his detractors – Leila, Leni & Trillanes
These triple crooks who want to topple the government
Are also said to be conspiring with EU, UN & US!

Yet with Trump’s triumph, US is no longer an enemy
Our American hatred weakened, our Chinese friendship strengthened
As it established great friendship with Pres. Du30!

Do not emulate the girl power of those Liberal crooks
We got an Olympic medalist Heidilyn & Ms. International 2016
But Leila & Leni?...Can only ruin our country…like blasted nukes!

Do not worry for we have Pacquiao as still winner & role model
Alongwith Gen. Bato, a victim of yellow washing machine
But these Pro-Du30 men…to criminals tough, to innocents gentle!

May God allow this True Change to take place with continuity
Let Pres. Duterte lead us for many more years to come
For the Supermajority, for you & me… for our country!

My Poem No. 536
Nagtapos ng abogasya sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas
Mula pagiging **** sa Capiz kumatawan
Hinirang na heneral nang sa Hapon makaalpas
Pinagtuunang pansin pagbangon ng bayan.

My Poem No. 290
was exhumed by stern-faced defeat
as all others revel in victories.
i only watch the limpid light
slowly frittering back to its
console as the barkeep hands me
my 7th beer of the night

as i handed them the first defense
of the inveigling tactic i have yet
to put them through and send their
young minds to equipoised trial.

i have felt ears poor without
understanding but the welcoming warmth of the light shone against
my already bleared body pierced
through the unclear of words,
as i read them littlest of
my far-slung poems, bardic
and resolute yet rogue upon sound
thinly hanging, barely on a spindle of plaudit.

the barkeep bestows me my 8th bottle and i have felt some
slow ease encroach me with lighter burnt retreat,
as i left,
unfinished.
Written after a poetry reading in Roxas Boulevard, Manila.

Life was simple and clean
Nothing at all was dim.
I would carry out my days with peace.
But then I met him.

My world was upheaved
When I met the other side of me
Sleeping a peaceful sleep,
But threatening my right to be

“I am me. Nobody else,” I once said
Well I guess that was a lie
Because now I'm looking up at him:
I was never whole, even though I tried.

Only one of us can carry on
And I'm fighting till the end
But I know that the world waits for him,
Not me. Only he can mend.

This world wasn't made for me
But it was made for my other side
I have to give him his stolen memories
And release his hidden pride.

So now on the edge of life and death
I look at him and think about what I went through.
“You're lucky,” I say, tears streaming down my face.
“Looks like it really has to be you.”
Kingdom Hearts, anyone?

Pétalas são berço para te embalar

Lindas flores com eternos odores,
Escrita em prosa e verso,
Amor dado em excesso,
Pétala no chão para teus amores.

Rebanhos sem dono,
As pétalas muitos vaidosas,
Jardins com cheiro do medronho,
Pétalas roxas e cheirosas.

Conchas e seus colares,
Pétalas para namorares,
Campos de pedras seculares,
Rosas de muitos altares.

Manila    is  fray

Tough enough to die,
    Brave enough to see ****** against
        the billboards

   ***** on the marketplace
   ***** men haggling for prices
   the corners are squalid -- rats with ambitions   of men take  their places    in
    the esteros

   a car-horn blares, wanes old moon music.
      I sing songs of malversation. Trains all graffiti.

     My heart like a jailbird freed somewhere
         in the big sur; love assuages nothing,
    comes with a cheap price
          a freak December night in Roxas blvd.
     i sit on marble benches and dream
        of artilleries, garlands on *****-nosed
            barrels, nuns   grieving  dust
     in    the ground.    communal bathrooms
         drunk in foolish caricatures,
   the tabloids     displaying  flowerheads --
        the democracy in the streets a ****
    for      kings,  no    love to   lull
        me    to infantile    sleep

         tortured are   the   bulls 
   matadors    hiding  behind    faces red   like
       faces    of    statesmen   flushed with
          the   spirit   of   bourbon
   whereas we are    here   river-facing
       northern tip of its  undying source
  like    wives    on  balustrades   waiting
      to catch   the fragrance   of   inamoratas,
   light  reenters
          interstice   of   chary webs of  dull heads   hemmed in like   canopies   in the throat      of     overthrown ponds,   scraps
     of metal    sold    for a  night's  worth
        of    gin   and   Sinatra,

  Deep within   the   grave, the dead   laughing
       at the dead living. Atop   waters,
   yachts peering   into   drowning  fish,
       in   the middle, a   jam   of buses
         belching    lassitudes that    strangle
    the console,    the man    in all  of us
       the same,   cursing behind   the wheel
   and everybody    else    different
              dancing    at   the   top   of our   heads.
Hell.

My Poem No. 291
Hubo tantas veces que casi me ahogué cuando era niño, durante lecciones de natación, fiestas de cumpleaños. Es por eso que todavía me da miedo bañarme en las piscinas, las playas, los lagos. Pero también me da pena mostrar al mundo mis escamas dolorosas, la piel que tema a las medusas que queman con sus besos, y las heridas, debajo de cuyas cicatrices, siguen respirando, ardiendo...

Quisiera que de agua yo fuera hecho. En Manila, cuando era estudiante universitaria, y tomaba el bus que por el boulevard Roxas pasaba, podía olvidar de mis problemas, del caos, solo con una mirada a la bahía. Y siempre me preguntaba, ¿podría ser que al mar le doliera su piel de agua?

Me acuerdo de cuando en silencio sufría, contra ondas como orilla padecía: el abandono de un amigo a quien quería en secreto, padecía el rechazo de las obras que había escrito, padecía la soledad en esta cruel ciudad... en aquellos momentos pensé en caminar, con piedras pesadas en mis bolsillos y zapatos, despacio, despacio hacía el mar, hacía el fondo... para que por fin se cumpliese mi destino de morir en el agua y su abrazo...

Pero a ella, nunca he aprendido odiarla. Y he llegado hasta mares gallegos, hasta Coruña y sus cristales, donde cada mañana le escribo canciones de amor y promesas al océano atlántico. Al agua, un día regresaré, un día en ella, me habré disuelto, sí, yo a mí mismo.

Porque es mi destino, yo que llevo alma azulada, el alma de aquel pez anciano que se hizo humano. Cuando un día me pregunte, "¿de dónde vienes?" un amante gallego, le diré que tierra yo no tengo, le diré, "amor, mírame los ojos, su blancura viene de las espumas de los mares filipinos"... y la noche en que me bese los labios y luego la piel, le diré, "amor, sigue, porque las escamas ya no me duelen, ves que del agua ya estoy hecho, de los aguas quietas, ya estoy hecho..."

*3rd MiJo poem
My Poem No. 399
I can never forget the day
When we went to a radio RGMA
And I brought thee Nescafe

Oh our Vice President would be
Forget my hateful words not meant to be
Forgive me please & accept me into thy city & thy party

Accept me once again, Sec. Mar Roxas
Do not throw me off thy righteous bus
To the straight path again I must.

My Poem No. 189
I’m a Phoenix who melts in demise
From the ashes of my past I shall arise

I shall witness happily
The morning sun’s new glory

I shall rise up from my feet
With a courageous heartbeat

I shall spread out my wings wide
And set all hindrances aside

And I shall make them see
That there’s a radiant hope in me.

I’m a Phoenix, I’m a Phoenix
You shall see!
