Malalagkit na mga halik Amoy ng alak at yosi, kumakapit sa damit Kaunting barya, puri ang kapalit Eto ang turo ni inay "Kapalan mo ang lipstick anak, hindi magtatagal ikaw di'y masasanay" manipis na tela ang bumalot sa murang katawan ni Teresa "Sariwang-sariwa!" hindi magkamayaw ang mga kalalakihan Sa entablado kinalimutan ang nagdurusang puso binalatan nang dahandahan -Tula XI, Margaret Austin Go

Tula XI
Isang babae ang sumakay sa V. Mapa Maikli ang buhok at kayumanggi Nakapulang T-shirt at maikling shorts Tsinelas na plastic ay may takong Ang jeep ay mahaba, bago at maingay Balahaw nito ang malakas na tugtugin Ang barker ay mala trenta maging ang driver Kung umasta ay tinedyer Ang musika ay hindi musika 'Pagkat hindi lahat ng sinulat ay babasahin Ni musika ang lahat ng tugtugin Hindi musika kundi basura Ang babae ay sumabay sa saliw ng tugtog Kumanta nang may emosyon Walang hiyang ikinampay ang kamay At winasiwas ang yapos na sako Hindi pa siya nagbabayad Malamang wala siyang pera Hindi siguro iyon ang dahilan ng tawanan Sa kanya'y marahil may kakulangan Nawala ang nagwawalang kanta At nanahimik rin ang aba Tulala sa kawalan habang may minamantra Bakit kaya kabisado niya ang kanta? Kung mayroon mang makapagsasabi Ano ang nasa isipan ng isang tao Na hindi rin masasabi kung ano Paanong ang pag-unawa'y matatamo? Sila ba talaga ang wala sa katinuan? Kung sila ang ating pinagtatawanan Kung mga mata nila'y walang bahid Pahid ng alinlangan at pagdududa Naririnig din ba niya Sigaw ng barker sa kalsada? Nararamdaman din ba niya Dampi ng tubig ulan Naiisip niya kaya Kung ano ang kinabukasan? Nagmamadali rin ba siyang makauwi Dahil may exam kinabukasan? Bumaba siya sa harap ng arko Tumalon at masayang nagsayaw sa gitna Tinunton ang daan sa Teresa Di namalayang nariyan na siya Sa patutunguhan niya

“Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.” ― Mother Teresa May mga panahon sa buhay ko na nasayang, may mga darating pa siguro pero baka hindi ko na maabutan, tanging ang ngayon ang tangan ko sa aking palad. Sisiguraduhin ko na hindi ito masasayang. Gagamitin ko at pagyayamanin ang ngayon ko sapagkat ito lang ang oras na hawak ko. Magsusulat ako ng mga salitang matulain kahit hindi nila ito tanggapin. Kahit ako lang ang tunay na aangkin sa aking simulain. Kahit malalim ang dagat na aking lulusungin kapos man ang bait ito’y aking gagamitin at titimbulanin. Walang yumayaman sa pagsusulat ng tula at ang buhay ng isang makata sa panukat ng lipunan ay laging salat. Pero wala na akong magagawa napasubo na ako, matagal ko na itong nilimot at tinalikuran subalit para itong isang sumpang anino na laging nakasunod ayaw akong tantanan. Mabuti pa ang nag-uulat sa radyo at telebisyon dahil may nakikinig pero sa sumusulat ng tula bihira lang ang lumilingap. Putang-Ina bakit ba kasi ito pa ang nakahiligan ko? Siguro dahil dito ako sumasaya, kasi nagagawa kong bigyang tinig ang tahimik kong isipan. Bakit kasi hindi na lang ako naging payak sa lahat ng bagay lalo na sa gawaing pag-iisip? Bakit kasi masyado akong mapagmasid, mausisa at malikhain sa pagsasalarawan ng mga bagay-bagay? Bakit ayaw magpahinga ng aking diwa? Hindi naman ako magaling sa tugmaan at sa pagkatha ng mga kinakailangang sukat kaya kinalimutan ko na ito. Pero may ulol na bumulong sa akin “ok lang yan may free verse naman e kung hindi mo kaya ipahayag sa tugmaan gamitin mo ang malayang taludturan”. Kaya ito nanaginip na naman ako ng gising at tinatawag ang sarili ko na isang “makabagong makata”. Putang Ina makatang walang pera at laging nangungutang. Buti man lang sana kung makukuha ko kahit ang kalahati ng tagumpay nina Walt Whitman, Amado V. Hernandez, Jose Corazon De Jesus at Francisco Balagtas o kahit na si Emilio Mar Antonio na lang – e tiyak na hindi naman.     Kanina pa tumatakatak ang tiklado ng aking computer, ayaw ko nang magsulat pero may demonyo na tumutulak sa akin para gawin ito. Ayaw akong patahimikan ng putang-ina. Kaya’t heto ako at nagpupursige parin. Ang makabagong makata ay hindi na muling tatalikod sa tawag ng tulaan. Kahit walang pera magpapatuloy ako kasi dito ako masaya, masaya pero malungkot din. Ewan, madalas hindi ko maintindihan. Hindi ko na muling sasayangin ang natitirang oras ko.

Kailangan ko lang ilabas kasi nakita ko tong picture sa Facebook. Inaamin ko madalas sumasayad sa isip ko to. Sino ba naman ang hindi maiisip to kung marealize mo kung gaano ka kahelpless at powerless na baguhin ang paligid mo. Sino ba naman ang hindi makakaisip na baka may mas magandang lugar para sa ating lahat na kung saan masaya tayo. Yung feeling of guilt kung bakit ako nasa loob ng kotse, naka-aircon tapos may batang kakatok sa bintana mo at siya ay walang makain, tapos pag inabutan mo magsasabi padin ng "Thank you po.", sabay bibili ng sundae sa Mcdonald's. Tangina lang diba, kasi bata lang din sila at gusto nila maenjoy ang buhay. Tapos, magmaneho ka lang sa Quezon ave, may kakatok sa bintana mo humihingi pagkain or limos. Tingin ka sa Quiapo may mga matatandang nanlilimos, tapos, masayang masaya pagka binigyan mo ng pagkain, nakakaputangina. Nung nag Davao kami, yung mga nagbebenta ng perlas dun alam **** isang kahig isang tuka ang buhay nila, isang tingin mo lang alam **** sobrang hirap ng buhay. Nakakagago pala talaga ang pakiramdam ng pribelehiyo no? Kasi andun ka lang para mag lamyerda at gumastos ng madaming pera. Yung feeling na nagiinstagram ako ng walang kakwenta-kwentang bagay tapos may namamatay sa gutom sa ibang lugar, may naaabusong ofw sa middle east, yung mga nasa Mindanao napapagitnaan ng gulo. Yung nakikita **** sales lady sa SM na alam **** todo kayod para kumita ng pera sa Maynila pero tangina hindi nabibigyan ng tamang benepisyo at kontraktwal padin. Ang swerte ko. Ang sarap ng buhay ko. Sa sobrang sarap, napakaunfair na at nakakagago na dahil di ko din masabing ayaw ko ang buhay ko, pero ayaw ko din ang mga nakikita ko. Ang labo no? At bilang isang ordinaryong tao, wala kang magagawa para matulungan sila na maglalast sakanya. Hanggang abot ka lang ng barya kasi di mo pwede isacrifice sarili **** kapakanan para sa iba. Dahil ganun na ang mundo ngayon, sarili ko muna bago iba. Pero masisisi mo ba yung pagiisip na ganun kasi may kanya kanya tayong mga problema na dulot ng pagiging myembro ng society? Duwag tayong lahat. Duwag na tumulong sa abot ng makakaya natin kasi takot tayo na baka tayo naman ang mapunta sa ganung kalagayan kapag binigay natin ang lahat. Tulad ko, pasuicide suicide pa pero duwag akong gawin, hanggang sagi lang sa isip ko, tangina ko eh no? Dahil yung nakakatulong lang talaga yung may tunay na tapang. Katulad ni Mother Teresa ang daming tinulungan at inalagaan, pero ironic dahil nawala ang paniniwala nya sa Diyos dahil sa nakita nya nasobrang hirap na dinadanas ng mga taong inaalagaan nya. Putangina ng Mundo. Bakit ba tayo nandito? Pagtapos nito balik na ko sa normal. Tangina nyo.

Teresa climbs on the bus before the sun, if she has the fare to get there, where she makes the bread; she's been at this two of her nineteen years   yet she has fears, they will come for her--green card or not; though they like her rolls she kneads the big ***** pulls, pinches, a sculpting of dough, a laying of trays, one after another then, from the Iglesias, they come, decked in their finery though she does not see she only hears the litany of language she can't comprehend, a clanging of trays, laughter the urging of the jefe to work faster, bake the bread; the communion wafers did not fill them now they are here, breaking fast, forgetting the words they just heard the songs they sang Teresa does not complain; she is glad to feed the worshipers, though they will never know her name nor will they stop for her in the pouring rain, the blistering sun Teresa never wavers next Sabbath will be the same: dawn, the dough, the oven it is the work--her hands which make the bread others break, the grace granted to serve holy, holy, holy...

Someone collect all the hatred, and all the vehemence too. then don't recycle or reciprocate it. turn it all into something else, rich and green and full of kindness. distill it, remove the impurities, coagulate it away from it's cold tungsten tensile titanium. some of us only have to try, it can be done. Einstein said so; and Mother Teresa and Gandhi, and Martin Luther King Jr. and brother Nelson too. Someone collect all the hatred, and all the vehemence too. then don't recycle or reciprocate it. turn it all into something else, rich and green and full of kindness. distill it, remove the impurities, coagulate it away from it's cold tungsten tensile titanium. encase it in concrete and steel, bury it with the radioactive waste. let it lie for it's half life, in over 40,000 tears.

Death I see, that ugly spectre, Coarsely overshadows youth. Lame, they look for interaction With the bondman. Shame, forsooth! Drowning in the dams of liars When they could be shining lights! They believe what e’er is told them, ****** in by the TV sights. Culture told them there’s no future, There’s no healing for despair. Bet they never read the Bible – Words of LIFE spelt loud and clear. There’s no need for this attrition Of our children. Give them truth. Let them listen to the old ones – Hard they learned the facts of life. By the power of scripture they have Overcome the skull and bones. Into joy and peace they’re marching. Youth could follow in those zones. Up to them to stop and listen. Perhaps the media got it wrong. Find a person in their nineties, Who survived the wars and so on. They are old because their attitude Enabled them to plunge right in, Boots and all in right perspective, Shake and move, the truth to win. They’ve believed in right and beauty, Principles and sacrifice. Not for them the great self pity Serving death – man-trap device. Rather they’ve bent over backwards To embrace another’s need, And serving, felt the great dynamic LIFE FORCE. Yes. They were a breed!

THE BREED - Mandela, Mother Teresa, et al.
Agape. To love unconditionally. Attributed to the greats: Gandhi, Mandella, Teresa, God? And me. I offer an alternate: Agape. To crawl back repeatedly, Ignoring a history and future of pain. Agape noun Unconditional love. A weakness, not a strength.

I am the soft silent sight nestled in a tree gently holding hands with emotion. Together like lovers we intimately sit with an invisible touch. Our eyes penetrating darkness we govern like a loving mother or angelic force like Mother Teresa. A shiny moon polishing   a silvery heart cooled by a vast ocean. I always fly quietly as I bring a gentleness into darkness. Tucking the night up with the softest quilt, through a pane of glass in a near by wood you hear me calling. I give a rod of stability eternal sight seen it all before will see it again. As we hang softly like the moon in the sky or an Owl in the tree. I lift people through their night I carry them with my sight a tractor beam of light. As you feel my presence like a million hands that softly penetrate. All holding torches you are lite like a child who's mother has come back. Scooping you up your darkness falls on entering my Owls sight. I am the light that always surrounds the night . I am the ever expanding vision the tide that never turns but just keeps on rising. I grow with a bursting force of an ever expanding universe as I stretch my eyes they keep on reaching.   I am the ancient eye placed high above always unstirred but filled with feeling. Like the white of an eye surrounding a pupil I am the army who circles around the darkness. I am the reflection of the velvet moon sitting on the ocean threading itself throughout your being. Those caught within my sight will feel a thousand tiny bubbles of bright light. Gandolf the white explores your caves holding his wisdom stick and lantern. Unlocking your hidden emotion giving you magic fighting of your demon. I will conquer hell fire with a gentle trickle finding my path like a mountain stream passing. But when I open my heart my wings the devil will shudder because I hold a power like the pacific ocean. So much protection we can find at night within the Owls sight.

I want to run away so badly. Just end it with everyone. I'm burning from my own mistakes. I hate the person I become when you are around. The reality is that I've never ment anything to you. Hopefulness has taking me into the realm of delusion. What is right I see as left. Your eternal love is really a three minute panting and moaning fest. How could I be so blind. Well in truth I was viewing it all and I just wouldn't let go. I knew it was wrong but I just didn't care. I apparently don't love myself at all. If I did you would have seen nothing and I would have remained as Mother Teresa. So long it's time to grow up and outgrow you. Let my new roots be firm and pure.

The Ever Triumphant Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa - love immortal In frail human frame; Angel of peace and compassion, Knew no bounds of caste or creed: With arms outstretched, Waded through slums forsaken To help the poor in their humble homes: Orphans discarded, dying destitutes,           Deserted cripples and lepers deformed, Found in her a ministering angel Whose gentle touch revived hope; Brought solace and joy.   Unmindful of praise or blame, To serve the poor was her only aim, And never did she crave for wealth or fame. Like St.Francis of Assisi, she prayed - " Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace, " Where there is hatred, let me sow love, " Where there is injury, pardon, " Where there is doubt, faith, " Where there is despair, hope......." Life inspiring, a splendid saga Of selfless service and sacrifice. For ever she lives in the loving hearts Of those who strive to rid the world Of sorrow, misery and distress.            ******     M.G.Narasimha Murthy Hyderabad, India.    mgnmurthy4@gmail

Angel of Compassion
Sai Baba is the most Popular Hindu monk And mother Teresa is the most beloved Christian nun Both of them almost reached the state of divinity by serving the humanity And with a lot of religious piety Some may think Sai Baba is just a magician And Mother Teresa is merely a nun Their arguments sound quite fun because All the nuns and magicians can’t serve the world on such a grand scale unless they have divine charisma Both of them have disciples all over the world They were treated and revered almost like living gods As humans they might have suffered from some human follies and foibles But they proved to the world that SERVICE TO HUMANITY IS SERVICE TO GOD Let us all pray for the two noble souls Keeping our religious faiths aside

THE HINDU MONK AND THE CHRISTIAN NUN
It's Friday It's pay day It's time to go get me Another AR-15 So I can go shoot the breeze You can't tell me that it's wrong The 2nd amendment has been around way too long For you to croon your gun control song Don't matter what you've got to say When I've got the NRA on my side Supporting MY life But don't worry If anything, you should be proud Because the NRA says No Regulations Allowed! I don't get why you're so upset I studied gun safety once Eight years back So I got your girl Teresa's back No, like, I literally just shot her in the back There's blood everywhere! Don't scream, I'm telling you because I care Oh, don't look at me like t h a t Accidents happen all the time I'm perfectly capable of handling this gun You're just out to take me rights And steal my fun! Uhm, but forreal could you watch your tone? I know you care about Teresa But what about how I feel? My masculinity isn't set to "criticism permitted" mode It's on "gun control prohibited" mode Say anymore and I'll have to go I'm not gonna lie, the second amendment makes me come alive Even as other people continue to die I guess you could say I'm a real guy's guy Anyways, just because Teresa got hurt That doesn't mean that gun control would work Why don't you just consult the CDC You'll see, they'll side with me And, no, it's not a funding thing It's a freedom thing If anything, you should be proud Don't be shy, come along now Support the NRA No Regulations Allowed!

N.R.A. - No Regulations Allowed
St. Teresa swoons to herself. The angel’s impish face laughs At her pain. Bernini’s operatic sculpture bound Behind bars. Perfectionism, restorationism, OCD. Outside, a gypsy woman begs For centimes. Inside, scaffolding dims Teresa’s glow. Art sacrificed to the future, Content to die in darkness. A monk dozes in his rosary. Recitation of dreams. No legend in the sacristy: Teresa’s book remains Unread, dull behind glass. Ecstasy of love: her path toward God.

Love
I use ‘oh, my god’ as an expression not of faith, but surprise, of wonder at beauty untouched by ideology or dogma as if caught, and pulled, from a dream. I exclaim ‘oh, my god’ when stunned not by holy ghosts, but the living, who do kindness as though it were nothing unmindful of securing safe passage into heaven, or paradise. ‘Oh, my god’, I cry, when words fall idle or are muted to quiet reverence. Where twisted skeins of empiric memory, rush in crashing surf of reminiscence and nostalgia. I am godless, but not without reason ‘oh, my god’ being a slip of historical, idiomatic vernacular. Even as curiosity drives me to understand your own ritualistic, devotional motivations. Raise the cup, my friend it gives us both what we need. For you, transubstantiation for me a divine and luscious tableaux. For Saint Teresa in her ecstasy no doubt exclaimed ‘Oh, my god’!

What can we do once we are ordinary? Mother Teresa an ordinary nun, just a woman. Oscar Romero an ordinary cleric, just a man. The Beatles an ordinary band, just musicians. An ordinary office worker changed all of China when he stopped the tanks in Tianamen Square. An ordinary woman changed the rules about ****** harassment in the American workplace, by accident, just trying to embarrass a Supreme Court nominee. An ordinary housewife changed the world. In a peaceful way. In a non-violent way. Corazon Aquino toppled the might of the American-backed Marcos regime. We need moms and dads, teachers and technicians, people who work and people who play. Pearl divers and trash removers. We need ordinary people doing ordinary things everyday - like being a carpenter - to make our world an extraordinary place. What can we do once we are ordinary? We can save the world.

Time for the Ordinary: Ecclesiastes 3:1
Edited by Maple, because mine was a rant nobody but she was supposed to indulge. Hahaha. See. I wasn't intending on trending. I knew a wretched person once. And then. She died. Now. Condoning death is the fastest method for becoming THE social pariah - for future reference. But my god. I hated her. I really did. Not simply me; most of our peers felt similar. At least, they did till it was no longer appropriate. See. Morgan was a ruthless psychopath. And then she was dead. Now. As a stranger, if you were to lurk her Facadebook, you'd think she'd been some ethereal messiah. Her web page is now trampled with laments. Kinda like the stampede that killed Mufasa. Her present facadebook now marks a day the devil became synonymous with our homegirl, Momma Teresa. In what world, right? The details of the fatality remain insane. Ranging from Ketamine to ****** But I won't illustrate them. Go see it yourself - on Doctor ******* Phil. And they call me crazy. Anyways. I'm sorry, but she was a maniacal parasite with love like shrapnel. She destroyed her lovers, her family, her arsenal of friends by habit. And she did this for fun. So, again, I'm sorry. Sorry I am hardly sorry she died. That's a lie, though. I'm not sorry at all. Karma is candy. I'm happy she's gone. Never again to crumple and crush her loved ones to mush as mere eggs to her morning omelette. And our world is a happier place. Sue me. for whatever reason this will not publish or save this particular recount

Never again to crumple and crush her loved ones to mush as mere eggs to her morning omelette. And our world is a happier place. Sue me. for whatever reason this will not publish or save this particular recount

There's a crowd of pitch black unicorns at a Chelsea Wolfe's concert. A crowd of pitch black unicorns moving their onyx hooves and horns at the rhythm of drones dressed in electric guitars. An acoustic break follows. The vibrations of the music and dancing cause purple flowers to grow, purple flowers weaned on blood and sticky black tar. There's a crowd of unicorns dancing at a Chelsea Wolfe's concert feeding on ladybirds crisps and dragonflies sticks, that once home will play vinyls on mystic turntables of fire. The purple flowers grow into vines and try to smother the unicorns to prevent them from listening to bloodred-dyed vinyls on mystic turntables of fire. Meanwhile in the corner of a museum S. Teresa of Avila's statue animates by itself, walks to the window and throwing itself crumbles into a thousand of pieces of marble. The seventh seal has not been opened yet but the ninth the eleventh and the seventeenth exploded already, cracked their own wax and started spreading tongues of flames and water to decimate humanity. A woman dressed in a fifteenth century scarlet outfit leads the pitch black unicorns to salvation creating a safe haven for them in Manchester and another one in California. They have in the meantime gone bonkers and started feeding on each other. Equine teeth suddenly grow carnivorous jaws. Nothing is left in the two oasis apart from a puddle of blood and a pavement of corpses. It's 7 a.m. Chelsea has not yet finished her concert and her music blossoms around played by the mystic turntables of fire. That which remaineth is pitch black light and the breath of aeons lingering here and beyond and nowhere.

A LOVERS QUEST Just like Romeo and Juliet’s Two wolf packs Very much alike With dignity and pride But keeping themselves far and wide But these two lovers met And never wanted to depart The lover’s quest Began in a land so far and wide One family on one side And the other family On the border Both looking and growling On opposites side of the line Calling the pair back to the pack Where they reside The lover’s quest Broke free From both their families Running wild and free Away from the pain and misery They travelled the lands Far and wide Their quest to find their own Happiness Through trials And their own tribulations The lover’s Quest The pair found their own den Happy as can be Away from all that was And their own families This quest For our Romeo and Juliet Is at its best Their nest was built More solidly than their own before Happier, gladly This quest has led them both With their own wolf cubs From heavens store What more could they have ever asked for? Our Romeo and Juliet Rest now in heavens clouds Happy Carefree Just how it should be Below they see their one and only child With a love so pure and simple By his side © Teresa Joseph Franklin Please note that this is my Pen Name 30th April 2012 All Rights Reserved

Happy Women's Day
Bus full of people breathing inside a small space Face to face, eyes cast down and explore A small girl that hides behind bangs Long thin legs Tightly fit close That are shear and expose Insecurities And people whisper People point But I remember what Teresa told me A small man gets fired up But can’t fight, he wobbles drunk He wants to prove he is big and bad That the girl who left him Didn’t have his heart in hand That he doesn’t bleed He doesn’t hurt He punches the next guy he sees He makes him blue Makes him bleed And I remember what Teresa said Two lovers hold each other tight Teary eyes on a star lit night Warm bodies fight the chill Each wondering if they will Be able to hold hands like this Forever or if Fingers fold into fists As bitterness steals a kiss Because the two girls don’t know why People say they should die They have always only loved each other And I remember what Teresa told me

“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.” – Mother Teresa
~Shawn -vs- Rd~ ~ I AM just an ancient lover Rd I AM just an infinity loop dreaming childlike of you and me mature and free. Anyones Gold key who can turn and open my heart's golden lock to rock my world, pierce my entrails with his Angels's longest speer, as the Angel messanger of God did for Teresa, igniting into her ecstasy and bliss across time and space a saint lover in disguise, owns my heart, my bridal chambers my good fortune spin and two gold infinity loops. ~~~~~ By: Karijinbba 71-74-95-21.

Jack and Jill Went up the hill To fetch a pail of water Jack fell down And broke his crown And Jill collected the life insurance And is now a rich ***** with plumbing!

'Jack and Jill: The True Story' by Teresa Joy 9-14-2010
Of those Knotted Reasons took us astray And nearly severed Nine Month's Love within But take us near, to where our Hearts delay Delivered some Fettered Laurels therein Which Sacrifice, un-told by Cryptic Past That something Bubbly was about to explode But, burning Albums to hide what should Last Was a Better Meaning succumbed to implode I meant this, Mum: Make no Foreign Mistake That my Tongue and Arms mean something to you Which for all my Brattiness and Forsake A Loving Pride I give for all Things true. Dearly return, to the Womb's Wisdom blows The Fiery Son advise: Of which he knows.
