My Cat

As I run my fingers through the keyboards

Just come to mind to play "Memory"

from the musical play, "Cats" with my cat beside me.

Just as I started to play the melody

My cat climb on the keyboards,

and started to meow, good lord!

To the beat of the music, he was singing.

I could not believe what I'm hearing.

My cat is having good time with its master

I had a good laugh and felt better.

Earlier I was upset because he scratched my carpet.

It really made me so upset

To see the loose fibers

that look like a shaggy dog's hair.

But I loved cat my beloved pet.

Monday Morning

It's Monday morning

The phone is ringing

The baby is crying

The dog is barking

The stove is on

The boiling water overflowing

The buzzing signal in laundry room is on

While trying to calm down her baby son,

she runs into the other room to get the phone.

Then came the two kids ready for school

asking their mom for their provisions.

She hangs up the phone

She's getting her sons ready for school soon.

Then she feeds her baby

Then she feeds the dogie

And she let go a big sigh.

While looking up in the sky,

She utters the words of thanks,

Lord, thank you for making my day.

Loving You

Loving you is my heart's delight

And my love for you is deep as the sea

No one can vouch that but the Lord Almighty.

My love for you is unconditional in so many ways

Heaven knows life's obstacle tend to be on your way

But my heart tells me you are the one and my destiny.

Loving you is a true God's miracle

Deep in my heart, I build us a temple

For you and me to worship the love we nurture.

Loving you is a wondrous feeling of contentment

It's a sure feeling that you and I are sharing

What God has bestowed in us is blissful and loving.

Love How Deep Thy Meaning

Love how deep thy meaning

Sweet words of love pierce deep within

Yonder I hear your chanting

Your voice so enchanting.

Caressing the wholesomeness of my soul

And my innermost feeling so enthralled

You've built a temple in my heart

That no one would ever dare to snatch.

I will always shower it with words of love

Like no one else could have ever done such job

Wanting your embrace is such a race

Pain and agony so antagonizing.

But letting it go

Is the only way to over-throw.

Love how deep you are to be conquered.

Neither my feelings couldn't be sequestered.

Love

What does love do to you?

Love makes your heart go 'round and 'round

Like a merry-go-round

Love makes your heart jump

and beat like a drum

It perks up your mind

Love makes you feel like dancing.

It makes you forget on everything,

Because you feel like you're in seventh heaven.

All you dream is Adonis,

The love of your life you embraced.

Little Girl Standing at Roadside

She was perfectly molded

in the image of Madonna

Her smile was so captivating

perfect and no guile.

She's like a gift from heaven

like a deity sent cherubim

to spread joy in this chaotic world.

An element of outside world

To bend the ears of inhabitants

that life's journey soon be curtailed.

Pains and sufferings will be demolished

in a sense that we all be subjected.

The little girl standing on the roadside

is merely a dream come true,

An angel who will guide us through.

Life in a Fire Lane

Whatever happened to our lives?

It seemed that our relationship won't survive.

I tried to patch up things for both our sake

To mend our relationship back in good shape.

I find you as the culprit of our ongoing situation.

Despite of all, our relationship still high priority

To avoid the consequence, I let bygones be bygones.

Hoping our lives will return where it's used to be.

Your insensitiveness is intolerable.

As you aged you're unpredictable.

Your life has to get back in good order,

Otherwise I won't tolerate you any farther.

My life would be better, if we stay away from each other.

Life of a Dog

Bow wow wow, I need some love

Love, I don't have to beg

Because, I'm not contradictory

I want only an affection

I love your hands all over me

I love to sleep in your bed to be near you

Oh, master won't you let me sleep with you?

Your sweetie is an animal fanatic

She won't get frantic

She doesn't mind my hair in your bed

She'll give my hair a brush

She'll give me a bubble bath

And she knew I'm a spoiled brat

And you know I love to ride in your Corvette

My favorite is in front seat

She doesn't mind sitting in back seat,

Doesn't she?

Well, I'll sit in back temporarily

Until you kick her out permanently.

Life

Life is an adventure

Otherwise it's agonizing

So don't take it so seriously

Enjoy what it has to offer

Life itself will take care of everything.

Kudos to my Father

My Father, for me, he's everything.

He was the greatest of all human being.

When we were little, he taught us to read and write

He even taught us how to fly a kite.

Mind you my father had a very good sense of humor

In which, everyone is in favor.

He was such a warmhearted person

A successful plumber by profession.

I was really proud of his endeavour

As a father and great provider.

Above all, a great husband to our beloved Mother.

Knowledge

Fortunate I am for the knowledge I acquired.

My parents, with their strong conviction about education,

Are to be applauded and admired.

I'm fortunate for having the ability to think twice,

And not rush to any life's decision, as improvised.

Knowledge is a learning opportunity to stretch our mind.

To be able to know what is right and wrong.

And when life turns upside down

You can still whistle a song.

Knowledge can't be taken away from you,

It's always there and it's yours,

Even when the mind deteriorates,

When the brain can't handle no more.

Knowledge is nowhere to take place.

Knowledge...

It is most powerful weapon of our time.

Kismet

What brought you and me this side of the world.

"It's kismet for sure" you said.

In my life you came sooner than I thought.

One day, a cellphone you dropped

On my foot it fell, and ""ouch.""

Quick as a lightning, you rubbed my foot

The pain disappeared when our eyes met.

I was tongue-tied, and I freezed.

My heart was beating faster,

As if I'm in a roller coaster.

Good Lord, we have a kismet!

Is this the way we meet?

Are you from other side of the world?

I'm sure I'm in my own world.

Kismet, what a powerful word!

It's Time

It's time to have fun under the sun.

It's time to feel the sunshine in your skin.

It's time to smell the ocean.

It's time to smell the flowers in your surrounding.

It's time to listen to the birds chirping,

From trees and cherry blossoms.

Enjoy the beautiful things that mother-nature provides.

Time to take a break from everything.

Time to have get together with friends and good camaraderie.

Don't let time run off

Seize it as much as you can

Because you only live once.

Internet

Some friends send forwarded e-mails just to get in touch.

Some are just plain lazy to compose a short message

They are so reluctant to say something nice

on a personal message.

Forwarded e-mail need not be composed

or rewritten

Just click send and that's it, off it goes.

Some, they just want to see the result of

what they sent.

They expect us to send them back something,

Something personal that makes them thrilled.

I don't mind sharing them something from the internet.

I send back some funny stuffs to make them laugh,

And sometimes I send personal message to note

As a friend, I call them by telephone

And invite them for internet chatting.

Imperfection

The world is full of imperfect people.

We tend to make mistakes whatever we do

But that's because you and I are human beings.

I see you and I share imperfect lives.

Only our Almighty Creator,

From above is perfect.

I can only see myself as a perfectionist

when it comes to cleanliness.

Which is next to Godliness.

Imperfection is a big part of my life.

Why? Because I'm only human being.

As human being, the flaw is in every part of me.

If I Only Knew

If I only knew you're not here to stay

And not leaving me in fantasy

I would have kissed you more

And hold you closed to my heart.

If I only knew how much you cared and how

deep the love you felt for me,

I would have told you countless times that

I love you each day and every day.

If I only knew you have few more days,

that your days were numbered due to a terminal illness,

I could have spent more time with you,

And comfort you by your side,

Talk with you and read your favorite poems 'till you fall asleep.

If I only knew

My regrets... I did not see your sides,

How blind could I be?

How could I forgive myself?

I Will Remember You

I will remember you each and everyday

No matter where I am, you'll always be in my mind

I will follow your scents even in my dreams

I will honor you as I worshipped every footsteps you left behind

As time goes on, I will be thinking of you

In dreams and reality.

My life's happiness can be fulfilling

By reminiscing the happiest times we shared.

I will capture the moments of our love desired -

Even the infinitisimal happenings in our lives.

I will remember you while I can still do so,

Until my heart stops yearning for you.

I Want to Hold and Kiss You

I want to hold and kiss you and tell you how much I loved you.

When you touch me, it's like I'm in seventh heaven.

When our eyes meet, I see stars in your eyes glowing.

I feel your breath against my face and ear

Whispering sweet love like a loved sick man.

I worship you like a sun god of the universe

Who comes out of the clouds through a cascading rays of sun.

I will never let you out of my sight

Afraid I may never see you again.

The sound of your octave voice

Is invigorating to my whole being.

Your voice is tantalizing.

Come hold me tight, and don't ever let me go.

I want to hold and kiss you, and tell you how much I loved you.

I want to hold and kiss you every moment of my life.

For Your Eyes Only

To Jos and her 35 ft. statue of Virgin Mary at her uphill estate.

On the mountains and valleys,

Here, nature wonder lies with grace,

Overlooking the vast pacific ocean.

It's magnificent God's creation,

Where serenity and divinity reign.

It's one of wonders of the globe,

A Shangrila, in a modern world.

Love, peace and happiness you surely will find

Among the flowers and foliage so devine.

Ah, heaven, so near yet so far away,

But I hear the angels sing solemnly,

And the blue sky beaming gracefully.

And there Mother Mary standing tall and stately,

With eyes staring at me. My soul touched and eyes misty.

How magnificent she is,isn't She?

Emergency Room

Nurses and doctors running around

With stethoscopes dangling from their necks

Chaos in ER is like a merry go round

A female patient came in ambulance

With her families around her side

Sobbing, wondering if she's gone

Paramedics rushed her to the waiting doctors

Death was knocking at her door

But the doctors prevent its entry for sure

The poor girl was in head-on collision

Her car was in total demolition

Thank God, good Samaritans called nine one one (911)

ER is not really a pleasant place to be.

Screaming and crying are all you hear

Doctors and nurses have to bear.

Dormant

Dormant

In few days it will be December

Soon winter will be here

The wind is howling

Autumn leaves are falling

from maple and birch trees

It's great to watch the natures beauties

Red and yellow leaves falling in my front porch

It's a picturesque scene

Some trees now are almost naked

With the absence of colorful leaves

They look ugly and vague

They'll soon be dormant,

And in spring, they all come back again

To show their beauties from out and within.

Change of Life

When life goes through a methodical process of change,

Life is worth living.

Boredom is forgotten.

Faith is in.

To the extent that we go through metamorphosis,

Although bed of roses was never promised,

Life has been so unusually good in so many ways.

As we go through life's ups and downs,

The starlight of life will continue to shine upon.

Chances

In life we have to take chances.

Afraid not to take risk.

It's the only way to know what life is all about.

It's a learning experience.

It's like gambling

in a risky situation

It's like putting yourself

in a flimsy position,

But we must take these chances,

To be able to know what life is.

Taking chances is a chance of a lifetime.

Chances are, that you'll be a success.

Perchance, when time comes,

You'll be glad you took the chance.

Caffeine

With eyes blankly staring at the ceiling,

Blinking sometimes twitching.

Tossing and turning the whole night through

I feel like running with my dog in tow,

Probably I get pooped and sleepiness will creep into my brain.

Why I have sleep deprivation that I cannot attain?

Two cups of black coffee I took at noon.

I really could not resist the joy of temptation.

It really kept me awake the whole night through.

I've learned a lesson the hard way, too.

Caffeine is the culprit of my sorrow.

Caffeine is the culprit of everything I do.

Broken Doll

Cute and be-dimpled doll

On the street, she was left to run over by cars

I scooped her up with my carefree hands

And wrapped her in my woolen scarf.

Her left arm missing from its socket

Her right leg partly cracked

Her three little fingers dangling from her hand

And her dress tattered and soiled.

Her solid smile so intact

The intense pain she did not feel

She looked like a living doll!

I cradled her in my arms like a baby I've never had.

The heartless creature is nowhere to be found!

Damn you, if I ever find you

I'll break your arm like you did to the poor little doll!

Blue Jeans

Faded Glory,

Old, tattered and dirty,

Hardly been to the laundry.

Young people or macho men

Sporting around with this thing,

Called Blue Jeans by its name.

You wear it next to your skin.

Your skin turns blue,

When it starts to bleed through.

Anecdote

A story I must tell you

I was very young then vibrant and energetic.

I waited in a restaurant, years ago,

One day, a white man came along,

Said, he is so starved

Said, he could eat a horse.

I said, sorry sir that's not allowed here.

The white man did not say anything.

A big smile plastered in his face.

Innocently, I told him to ask next door,

The white man never left the eatery

Smilingly, he walk toward me,

Explained to me in simple way,

Saying, it was just an expression,

When a person is very hungry.

Roars of laughter echo throughout the eatery.

American Beauty (Hybrid)

I pick some rose flowers in our garden

To place in our mantle every now and then

Sometimes, I share them to a sightless woman neighbor

She said, red is her favorite color

My eye caught on one purplish-red rose

Big, silky and velvety

Its name, American Beauty.

I give them rose food every other week

They, too, are like pets

I shower them with tender loving care

So they continue to bear more flowers

American Beauty is great to share,

With people you really care.

American Beauty,

You are truly a Godsent.

Affection

When your love one strays

Do not put him into defensive position.

Treat him with love and affection

Wrap him in your warm arms tenderly

And whisper sweet love ecstatically

Paint the twinkling stars and bells to ring deep within

As you experience the wonderful feeling

Your heart beats in rhythm

And love starts all over again

Exploding like fireworks way up to heaven.

A Poem to Ponder

Poems are mostly composed with inspiration.

It could be sad, happy or pleasant situation

It could be about your childhood life

It could be your present life

It could be everything you could imagine.

When I compose a poem without inspiration,

I just think of something original.

To the point that I have to think of fictional

I sometimes doodle and stare at my screen.

I get hypnotized and fall into slumber,

And journey into dreamland scene

Into a place where my subconscious mind wander.

This gives me another inspiration to use my pen

About my dream in a mysterious place.

I never told anybody about my dream

Until they read my poem.

A Message from the Heart

My heart throbs like giving me message;

Take care of Me (heart),

and I'll take care of you.

Do not abuse me or I'll have to avenge me

At supper, you can drink house wine,

Maybe a glass of red is fine

No less no more

Please do give me a favor

I would make your life comfortable,

If you promise to keep me (your heart) away from trouble.

9/11 Second Anniversary

In memory of those who perished and their families

As we are about to commemorate the second

anniversary of 9/11,

We reflect on that fateful morning

When the two magnificent towers horrifically collapsed

Right infront of our very eyes

Over three thousand souls helplessly awaited their fate

Some could not wait

They leaped to their death

While reminiscing that fateful day

The chaos around the city

And the grim reminder of once

Where the Twin Towers stood majestically

Now it's ground zero.

Still I'm in disbelief, it happened in our country

America, the superpower, but vulnerable in some degree

May the souls of those who perished

Will eternally rest in peace.

Falling in Love

Falling in love is not easy to define

We can't just fall in love for good looks

We have to have meeting of the minds

There must have Kamasutra

And of course a Karma.

Determining how we are destined to be

It has to have signs in body language

You have restless nights, you see

Thinking of him every moment of day

He makes your heart rumble like thunder.

The phone rings you hear

You think it might be him

Calling him for no reason

Just to say, hi.

Hearing his voice is like you're in heaven

You fall for him 'cause he's caring and gentle

You fall for him 'cause he's incredibly lovable.

English Tea

I can smell the aroma of English tea at the Cafe Lottey

when I walked by on my way to the grocery.

Oh, yeah, English tea with orange spice and cinnamon flavor

are excellent tea, by the way.

I always have my favorite tea in the morn and mid day.

With three drops of lemon juice

and a pinch of sweet and low or perhaps two drops of honey

is perfect for my choosy taste bud.

I start my day with a cup of English tea

first thing on a crisp morning.

I prefer to have it under our backyard tree

and watch the teacups open on a bright sunny day.

Ah, the English tea very delightful to me!

It's very refeshing caffein free.

When I drink, I savor it

to get the taste of it.

Dream

Your dream is far from reality.

It's in your subconscious mind.

That is when you're sleeping, and you dream.

But you wish your dreams to come to reality

It is everyone's wish.

In your own world of make believe

You want to see the outside world

You longed to see.

Time may help heal our obsessions.

But, you are in the real world

A world full of adventures and love.

In real world your dreams could come true.

Life is full of dreams.

To fullfill your dreams

Is to make it happened,

In this great planet we live in.

Death gives you no Choice

You cling to life

as you watch the candle.

burning to its end.

It's time to say goodbye.

Whether you like it or not.

You have no choice.

While there's time to make peace,

Get a hold of your Dear Ones

to spend more times together.

Death comes to you any time

it wants to take you.

As you become fallible.

While life is still in you,

makes sure you're all prepared

to face the Lord Almighty.

Death gives you no choice.

This is His choice

that you have to go.
