Laiya, Batangas (with PGH)
Everything happens for a reason.
As I sit by the beach under the starlit skies, the darkness makes the heavenly bodies shine so much brighter.
The crash of waves on the shore serve as music to my soul.
I found out who my real friends are. The tried and true.
Relieving my angst.
In my 45th year, I know again the true colors of people "shining through" like the stars above. The ebb and flow of waves, like the vicissitudes of life in the sands of time.
Everything happens for a reason. Oh, what a splendid birthday gift. 45 years and the realization I had while enduring.
Life will go on. The bus wheels keep rolling......
Happy Day (May 2014)
Oh happy day
Rain has come in the summertime
An old man was given a visit and rewarded it with a smile
An old friend came to town unexpectedly and time was shared over cheer
A friend in need was comforted with the value of the bond of friendship even more appreciated .
In life he space between may be far and wide but the memories in between cherished and kept alive by such a simple gesture
In such simplicity lies the grandest joy in life that plagues one's soul
Oh happy day......
THE DARK SIDE
"Never abuse a person's kindness. Never take one's humility for weakness. There is night. There is day. Like Shakespeare wrote "the evil that men do is interred in their bones". Fear the dark side of men. Some are darker than the caverns of the deepest abyss. Fear the macabre wrath that the humble and kind can unleash. Fear what a man can do when pushed to the edge. For this is the human condition.''
BRUSHES WITH DEATH
Doing the walk of life
Strolling by death's valley more than one time
6 hours to live because of pneumonia
a brawl
a prank
Sickness
Stress
By accident?
By design?
Only God will say "It is your time"
SERENDIPITY
Beg all you want
Demand
Force
Things that a person can do for want of
something or
someone
An act of Serendipity?
Hope
Pray
The only way
FRIENDSHIP
Cast by time
Come and they go in life
The true stay
Beyond distances they remain
Some betray
Others merely fade away
Lost to wives
Lost to money
Lost to contempt
Others return even better than before
Some simply just don’t matter no more
HAPPY OR SAD
Happy, Sad
Happy, Sad
Life is lived
Happy, Sad
God has given us trials and chances
God has given us the choices
What will it be?
Happy or Sad?
Eternally alone
Since birth
Alone even among family and friends
Betrayed
Mocked
Scorned
Surviving
Life is good
Lonely
Life is good, nonetheless
My path
My destiny that I accept
LONELINESS
Together with a partner
Lonely a person can be
Dealing with it each time
Hardly ever getting used to it
Longing for love
Maybe just a little company
Maybe just a little company
Loneliness in life is key
To realize one is still part of humanity
To realize one is still part of humanity
TIME
Flows like water
Runs dry in the sun
Gone forever
Like time
The past can never be changed
It haunts a person
What counts is today
The now
Per deum
The only way to live
Per Deum
WHAT OLDER MEN CAN’T HAVE
One last fling
One last battle
One last fight
One last fight
A true love,
An affair
A partner for life
A child
The years have gone
Time has passed
Withered, older
Nearing to be ash to dust
What can they do?
Alone I they are or have become
For life
Their destiny
Their world
THE DREAM OF ROMANCE
Always there will be a woman in a man’s life
The one that got away
The true love
The perfect girl
The player
The one that never even knew him
Always there is one that fits that mold
Some look back with relief
Some look back and wish or even dream
Some never look back
Just knowing that they are a memory
Forever lost in the sands of time
Where is home?
In a mansion with 3 people
In a shanty with 18
In an apartment alone in a bad part of town
In the valleys of your heart
In the depths of your mind
Where is home?
Family and friends
Where the home lies
SAVE THE SECRET
Lips be still, no matter the urge
To brag
To fret
To reveal
Sensitive matters of the heart
Thoughts from the soul
Not all ears are eager to listen
Not all care
Some pretend to do and spread the words to those not supposed to know
Sugar coating at times
Violating trust
Spreading rumors
Treachery is around us
Caution should there be
Lips be still, heart be not broken
PURPOSE
What has God set me to do?
To be a friend?
To be a warrior?
A brother?
Maybe juts simply to be?
Purpose is the mission I seek
Sadly only in death will I know
Be on the move,
Push on thru
Forget the bad
Move forward, come through
No looking back
Cherish the good
Have faith
Life is just a path we are all passing thru
So much to loose
THE LUCKY ONES
Lucky are the ones
That find the right one to age with
To be their friends
To raise families
Not all are blessed
Not all get the same
Lucky are the ones that know
TRUE FRIENDS
True friends are hard to find
Acquaintances are five for a dime
Known only thru time
Filtered by memories of stunning sunsets and
the changing of the tides
Treasures they are that no money can buy
Aged like the finest of wines
True friends are hard to come by
MOVING ONLucky are the ones
That find the right one to age with
To be their friends
To raise families
Not all are blessed
Not all get the same
Lucky are the ones that know
TRUE FRIENDS
True friends are hard to find
Acquaintances are five for a dime
Known only thru time
Filtered by memories of stunning sunsets and
the changing of the tides
Treasures they are that no money can buy
Aged like the finest of wines
True friends are hard to come by
Be on the move,
Push on thru
Forget the bad
Move forward, come through
No looking back
Cherish the good
Have faith
Life is just a path we are all passing thru
So much to loose
Life is short, move anew
For Paul H
A man with a smile so bright
A heart radiant
A giving hand
Human
Thriving in this imperfect world
With him he carries his own dark side.
For Cristina Trinidad
FOR INA FROM RAOUL
Time is passing quicker than she wants
Before her eyes she sees the progression
Time remains constant.
Like her love
These boys will continue to grow to be men
Her love will also grow
She is their mother
No matter what and with time
Her love will continue to grow for these men
She is always their mother
A heart radiant
A giving hand
Human
Thriving in this imperfect world
With him he carries his own dark side.
For Cristina Trinidad
A woman toils
embarks in another adventure
Another path
Another trip
Into the abyss of the unknown she dives
Deeper
The adventure continues
Her day has come
FOR INA FROM RAOUL
My angel has flown back to her world and I remain in mine
The pressure has been relieved
I am fine
I know you will be too
Until I see you again
If not in this life
Perhaps in the next
Goodbye my Queen
Goodbye
A MOTHER'S LOVE (for Zaida Asis)
The wind blows when the mother's talk
Her babies are now boysThe wind blows when the mother's talk
Time is passing quicker than she wants
Before her eyes she sees the progression
Time remains constant.
Like her love
These boys will continue to grow to be men
Her love will also grow
She is their mother
No matter what and with time
Her love will continue to grow for these men
She is always their mother
