Another Way Of Love

I.

June was not over
Though past the fall,
And the best of her roses
Had yet to blow,
When a man I know
(But shall not discover,
Since ears are dull,
And time discloses)
Turned him and said with a man’s true air,
Half sighing a smile in a yawn, as ’twere,—
“If I tire of your June, will she greatly care?”

II.

Well, dear, in-doors with you!
True! serene deadness
Tries a man’s temper.
What’s in the blossom
June wears on her bosom?
Can it clear scores with you?
Sweetness and redness.
_Eadem semper!_
Go, let me care for it greatly or slightly!
If June mend her bower now, your hand left unsightly
By plucking the roses,—my June will do rightly.

III.

And after, for pastime,
If June be refulgent
With flowers in completeness,
All petals, no prickles,
Delicious as trickles
Of wine poured at mass-time,—
And choose One indulgent
To redness and sweetness:
Or if, with experience of man and of spider,
June use my June-lightning, the strong insect-ridder,
And stop the fresh film-work,—why, June will consider.

BY AN INLAND LAKE

LONG drawn, the cool, green shadows
Steal o’er the lake’s warm breast,
And the ancient silence follows
The burning sun to rest.

The calm of a thousand summers,
And dreams of countless Junes,
Return when the lake-wind murmurs
Thro’ golden, August noons.

A Birthday Poem for Ligaya

With joy you work,
With joy you talk,
Your joy puts others at ease,
Time with you they wouldn’t miss.

I see your joy, when from Germany you come,
laying down your presents for me, one by one,
clothes, cosmetics, chocolates and cheese.
your choices always right, how come?

I sense your joy, when in turn, you see
my gifts of pink pearls custom-made for me,
‘though they’re used, your eyes shine brightly,
with Philippine-made bags, you receive them with glee.

You are joy
as Joy you are named
with kin and friend
your joy is shared.

You are in this lifetime as my sister born,
through ups and downs we’ve come,
verbal fights and silent wars long gone,
freely fond feelings fanned.

Your joys are my joys,
My joys are your joys,
May they flow endlessly
as we grow spiritually.

Happy birthday with all best wishes!

Joy of my Soul

Joy of my soul, Joy of my heart,
You’ve given me love from the very start;
In you I live, I move and I breathe ~
To you my whole being does cleave.

Joy of my soul, Joy of my spirit,
Of goodness ~ may I be drawn near it
And to all that is holy, right and true,
May I ever be totally committed to you.

Joy of my soul, Joy of my life,
You are the Rock during all the strife.
Many are the benefits you freely give;
Because of you, I have the will to live.

Joy of my soul, Joy of my heart,
Let’s assure one another, we’ll never part.
You are my Lord, my God, my All;
I obey your statutes, I love your Law.

Joy of my soul, Joy of my spirit
Absence from you, I surely would fear it.
Never permit me to ever stray
Protect me ever and always, I pray.

Joy of my soul, Joy of my life,
Sin pierces your heart ~ like a knife.
You are The Lord of Lords and The King of Kings,
O the JOY your Salvation brings.

The battle for good and evil still wages,
But You, O Lord, are JOY for all ages.
Judgement day will soon arrive;
The goats’ll die and the sheep’ll thrive.
Please God ~ your faithful ones’ll be alive.

O Jesus, as Groom, you’ll come for your Bride
You’ll draw her very close to your side
Embrace her with your arms open wide
And together in Heaven forever abide.

You, O Lord, are JOY for all ages.
JOY, JOY, JOY!
YOU are JOY for All Ages! ! !

Journey into the very source of nostalgy

vivid pictures in my head..
Some ,i wish i could relive,
but to erase others,all i’d give..

Memories bind me with the past
If only some of them could last!
If only i had known back then
how holy they’d be in the end…

This journey is all i need
to give me hope in times i bleed..
The very source of nostalgy,
drawn smiles out of melancholy.

They say it’s useless to look back,
that’s why they’ll never leave their track,
to be remembered by the young,
revoked for all the deeds they’ve done..

Memories,a praiseworthy gift
AlaS,we neglect that time is swift,
What now is present,in a minute is past,
not more than a memory,but in me it’ll last..
So innocence will die last..

For there will come a day of cold,
when i will silently depart this world,
and will then history keep my name??
Like all aged heroes bloom in fame??

Memories carve us all along,
and remembering makes us strong..
As long as you remember too:
Cling to the past ,but let it not devour you..

For if you dwell more with the dead
than with the living ones instead,
Dreaming of tombs and not of the clock,
you’ll be abandoned by the flock.

”Let past lead you to tomorrow”
the wisest word that i can give..
Remembering won’t bring you sorrow,
..but just ONE more reason to LIVE..

After January

After January comes April
Maybe I’m wrong
I don’t even know how to finish
If i haven’t even begun
im so
Very crazy, very disoriented
If they ask me where i am,
ill say in the on the moon

January, July, and then December
May, November, and then June
Fallin down the steps is no laughing matter
After march comes September
My thoughts are those of a child

After January follows April
Maybe I’m a little confused
I don’t know how long i can go on
After May comes September
im so wrong

Spellbound

The night is darkening round me,
The wild winds coldly blow;
But a tyrant spell has bound me
And I cannot, cannot go.
 
The giant trees are bending
Their bare boughs weighed with snow.
And the storm is fast descending,
And yet I cannot go.
 
Clouds beyond clouds above me,
Wastes beyond wastes below;
But nothing dear can move me;
I will not, cannot go.

FarAway

And the journey started with a song,
a great ballad from yesterday.
The pilgrims plight,
is and endless flight,
to the land called Faraway

On the journey he saw shades of night,
and he passed through skies of gray.
But, he stayed forthright,
as he searched for light,
and the land called Faraway.

On the journey he made countless friends,
and avoided countless enemies.
And he prayed each night,
that he’d earn the right,
to the land called Faraway.

Though, he longed for glory,
his body grew old and fray.
A soul long lost,
is the dreamers cost,
in the land called Faraway.

He lay down in a green meadow,
for he knew his time was nigh.
He relived each scene,
of his minds sweet dreams,
to the land of Faraway.

And though each breath was labored,
each heartbeat found the truth.
And he saw that life,
was both joy and strife,
in the land called Faraway.

And as the darkness took him,
his hopes were bright and gay.
For he’d be one,
with the setting sun,
and the land called Faraway.

Writing in the Spirit

Look at the words written if you will,

The speech of mankind on paper and twill.
Representation is to identify who cries,
For those who bare witness or those who have ties.

We all have our pain and some have their sorrow,
Others go through life like there is no tomarrow.
What starts from the beginning will come to the end,
Will it become an origianl or fade as a trend?

From the Author’s reality your subcomed to a dream,
You will laugh or will cry from the visions of theme.
But in the end it is all about the Preacher,
And thanks to the Lord for being the teacher.

Innocence

Innocence is pictured differently through many eyes,
Blinded by the sheer beauty of it.
Picture perfect Mona Lisa,
Hard to believe in such innocence.
Innocence can be found in a virgin,
Until the devil cracks his whip with lust and dirty pleasure,
That will be flushed away.
Can innocence be found in me?
After all the crimes I’ve committed?
Fallen for my guilty pleasure,
I’ve lies that I’m going to take to the grave.
I have racial views that I’m not proud of.
Innocence that is taken by sexuality,
My love for men cast a shadow over me by many eyes.
Is innocence lost from the day we leave the womb,
Innocence is the eye of the beholder.
