Handprints on my glass

Since Father Adam was betrayed, His sons always shaded, by the daughters of Eve, Gave them thousand grieves.. Every man is a boy, If the theme is love and joy, Flower is his waterloo, Made him always blue. Every failure of a man, Or his success, Behind is a woman, Behind his quest. For every man is an art, For they have heart, They have guts and fears, So laughters and tears. No matter how huge is his kingdom, How sharp is his wisdom, He will throw his diadem, Just to impress "them".

Once there was a kind Mother River, In the faded paradise of Winnyver, Green pastures, gold plains along with her, Flock of lambs, school of fishes, lived with fair. Carnations, Ivies, Tulips made her dainty, Swans, Flamingos, Cormorants enjoyed her beauty, As clear as crystal was her body, Faunas and floras were her babies. Very essential, day by day, Even hills wanted to kiss her and lay, Breeze of gentle wind meets her in the month of May, Lamp of heaven's rays extend on a summer day. Like a wary mother, yet so glad to stare, When little fairies came to her and play, When lads and lasses swim with her, she cares, Her face grins with the nudes and bares. Long yet narrow path, thread-like on a Creator's sight, Still fond at night, Lover is the sheen of a moonlight, Companion of Evergreen trees, all year round, Reed plants and lilies grew with her, provider of the fertile mound. The daisies blossomed, Cedar's leaves died, Autumn came, days swi

You're the Wonderful Hands who created me, The Undisputable Shout who crumbled the Jericho's Wall, The Invulnerable Face whom Moises spoke, out of the burning tree, The Invincible Power who made Tower of Babel's fall, The Powerful Voice who've promised Abraham's nation, The Wall of Fire of Israelites in the dark dessert, The Indestructible Wind who divided the Red Sea, The Clear Interpretation of Joseph the Dreamer, The Unconquerable God of the Twelve Tribes. You're the Unassailable Hands who guided me, The Killer Stone of the young David, Who downed Goliath in the battlefield, The Ecclesiastical Wisdom of King Solomon, The Great Lord of Israel Nation, The Destructive Fire in Sodom and Gomorrah, The Glorious Alpha and Omega, The Unsinkable Ark of Noah, The Amazing Prophecies of Isiah. You're the Unbeatable Hands who loved me, The Loving Father of Christ Lord, The True Faith of the Apostles, The Solemn Vo

Oh, how I love to see, The sunset in a sea, A tired and sleepy ray, A purple sky turn to gray. Oh, how I love to see, The children smile at me, Their laughter and the glee, Their minds are really free. Oh, how I love to see, The birds in a poplar tree, Their chirps are sweet sounds for me, That comforts my self-pity. Oh, how I love to see, A butterfly and a bee, Both sharing the nectar of daffodil, Satisfied on their simple smart deal. But the one I really love to see, Is you, my sweet gentle lady, Your smile, kisses and warm hug, Your innocent beauty and tender love.

In a cold December morning, When ashes still mourning, As quiet as the graveyard, No one ever glad. A world without music, The truce ended in tragic, A day of a dread, Green stone not a jade. Some ant walks, Other chats and talks, The bliss ascends little, Their thoughts fully puzzled. The bitter cry of the mortal souls, Their loud and unconsoled howls, The unhealed scar on their minds, Anger, pain, tears, bleeded hearts. Where are the people's smile? Is it there across the miles? The dying leaves whispered dim, The smile never seen. It is better to burn out, Than just to stay alive, There will be no tomorrow, The future coated with sorrow. Hope is in deep hollow, No bright days to follow, And yes on Adam's fall, We suffered all.

Four corners of hope, Four paths of fate, One destiny in crossroads, Came to me in late. I passed by there in free, But a split second glance, I fumbled my knee, When I lost my chance. I seek for nothing then, Hoping to find the gold, But I don't know when, Need a torch to hold. A call to strike eagerly, While the bow is in your hand, And while there's a bird in a tree, There will be a nest to be found.

In a strange place I saw a mystical face, Around her were butterflies moving in a rapid pace, Adored her diadem were golden beads, A porcelain mask protects her from strong winds. Can't see her face for there was a mask, In her right hand was an elephant's tusk, Like fairy or angel in a lovely tale, But my brain puzzled by the real scale. Don't know how, don't know why, She holds the water, but blows a fire, She offered love, she offered lust, Kissing my lips with poisonous dust. Along came the serpent, Too late for me to repent, Inducing my blood, extracting my soul, Carving my name in an ancient wall. I am dead for I was enticed, By blind faith with thousand lies, For I don't know it was only a dream, When I wake up with a scream.

Bring out the broom and roll out the barrel, After a vicious and dramatic battle, Armed with riffle and gun, Yell and throw them with fun. The bacon fries in an olive oil, The water sparks and madly boils, The sign display in a castle, Time to climb up and use the ladder. After the struggle and fears, Play the band and lend your ears, Then let's eat and drink for awhile, Forget this world of tears and lies.

Somewhere in my soul sprouts, When I almost fall into the state of REM, Tinge the hue of midnight illusion, In a sacred evening, Transgress the aphrism of silence, Unfold the mystery of an ode, Divulge the unspied dream, From a lean chance of triumph, From my wandering senses, Bear the mint mental impression, Plunge the ideas immensely, Defeat the minds of rarity, Master the pangs of vanity, Strike my sty unceasingly, Revive the old chained heart of poetry.....

After the world was created, Adam and Eve mated, Became human's ancestors, Mankind's journey began to explore, Based on Moses's scripture, Where Creator's words featured, Three divisions of era were set, Days of Christian, Patriarch, and Prophet, Patriarch's and Prophet's days were over, Christian era still on play....... Many great people had conqueror's mind, Invaded other nation, other land, Darius, Cyrus started the trend, And so Alexander the Great, Caesars of Rome then conquered, Almost the Europe and the Crescent, The fight, the quest never ends, Renaissance sought the essence, Michaelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo, Ideas, principles started to grow....... Earth spinned around, Apple fell into the ground, Galileo's mind, Newton's work, Roman's principle broke, Bishop's objected and scoffed, Copernicus was in dope, Independent minds were chained, Sensitive prides in vain, Then Einstei

Amidst of calm blue ocean I sailed, From my homeland till south of somewhere, Without the guide of compass or scale, Little determination, a piece of prayer. Though I know troubles coming soon, Noble "will"fulfills the mighty task I bind, Tomorrow maybe or on a quarter of moon, Failure and grief,  last words on my mind. Riding not in a huge boat or a great ship, But in a 'banca' made up of poor log, One strike of a wind make sink a deep, Maybe I'll drown, be exhausted or dragged. Thunderstorm mocked at me, lightning hit me out, My 'banca' destroyed as my soul scared, Heavy rain blessed me with bitter laugh, Helpless heart griefs, downed and frailed. I'm really weary, yet I have a goal, In this place of misfortune and wrath, I sailed to find a good fate for my soul, Ignoring the difficulties, seeking the path. ......................................................................

Schadenfreude (harm-joy) 10.25.14 I have a German friend who spoke this above-captioned word (but do not misinterpret that I may look like Ms. Jennifer Laude, R.I.P.), but I sympathized with ‘her’ family for the unfortunate event and I may not consider the case of epic fail or injustice since the litigation is still boiling within the due-process.   Anyway, what I have wanted to point out is this German word which in English term means harm-joy, which further illustrates that this is a feeling of pleasure derived by someone from another person’s misfortune. Informatively, the classic example of this term is the comedy act of an actor or comedian slipping on the floor by stepping in banana peel while the audience is mobbing and hilariously laughing to death from this comical and awkward incident.    This comedy act emanated from Egypt on 2500 B.C. In the Philippines, there’s a relative idiom for this German ancestor word, and we called it Crab Mentality in Filipino cu

The Three (3) Odes of Heartache of Knight Bee to Lovely Rose From my Novelette “The Adventure of Knight Bee and Lovely Rose” Ode No. 1 Kiss my tears Lovely Rose By Led Zep Lopez 7.04.1997 Geniuses’ eyes stared at me Some on their grief, others on their glee, As the crystal spring began to dry, Innocent thought winced to cry, Hug of a wind enlightened me, I am the best of the Rose’s bees……… Poem of love done for her, For her wooden heart out there, The quest of the thirsty seeker, The howl of a fool dreamer, How this love began to die For it’s utmost, innocent from lie? Genuine love really wasted, Naïve mind was enchanted, Seeking her till Neverland, Till my ties gone to unbind, Fate begged from my God, Is it a sin to fall in love? As my heart gained nothing, Am I real to cut the string? My last leaf started to fall, Just one last hope to scroll, Kiss my tears Lovely Rose, For my dreams died, so the glows….. Ode No. 2 Truth is a Thing so strange By L

One and one is two I know a man who is too smart, who complicate simple things at its finest.   He would love to spell out Chzecoslovakia instead of Peru and fushcia instead of red (by the way, are my spellings right? Never mind, Who cares? Anyway).  He would love to lead his team to everywhere and resolve everything by his own mighty hand – but it would end to an argument after arguments.  At the end of the day, the answer he thought as a solution to the problem creates another bigger and complex problems. He’s always talking while his mouth is full, he’s always barking at a wrong tree, he travels without a road map, he sails without a compass, he drives without a brake pedal, he’s rolling but not rocking, he makes simple things complicated, huh!  It’s overly overacting. I love people who preferred to be simple and create simple idea, for this will lead to orderliness and cleanliness.  For I always believe that simplicity is beauty.   I’m so afraid to those people who

Life is a spinning wheel All of us were born in this world without clothes, without watches, shoes and other things we carried on a minute after we have pulled out from our mother’s womb.  Yet, metaphorically speaking, oldies said that some have been born with ‘golden spoon’ in their mouth, others for me have silver, wooden or plastic spoon, while others have no spoon at all.  For the unfortunate ones who have born without spoon in their mouth, you can’t question that fate, it is our God’s hand and wand.  And we called it as ‘Uncontrollable Fortune’.   From this event, some people think that they are losers, for they have lost from the start of the battle, from the very first round of fighting, from the first five seconds of their life after the bell rung.  But hey, like racing, it’s just only the first lap, you still have more laps to race and more rounds to battle to prove your worthiness in existence, since this world is a big arena, all are battling to survive, even

Two-faced patriots 8.25.2014 A love for the country is second to love for God, for I could not imagine how delightful the last verse of our National Anthem written as this: “Beautiful land of love, O land of light, In thine embrace ‘tis rapture to lie; But is it glory ever, when t hou art wronged, For us, thy sons to suffer and die.” This one was created by Jose Palma, from Spanish Poem ‘Filipinas’, adapted to become lyrics to the musical composition of Julian Felipe as instructed by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo in preparation of the Declaration of Independence in Kawit, Cavite. The writer purely showed the patriotism in his blood, the eagerness to be freed and the ultimate dream to live without tyranny.  The song was inspired by J.P. Rizal, GOMBURZA, Gabriela Silang and all nameless souls buried in the deep of the sea, in the nameless graveyard, in the forest and battlefields.               “But is it glory ever, when thou art wronged, For us, thy son

An ode to Lovely Rose Led Zep Lopez 8.23.2013 You’re the one I really love to see, In this land of misfortune and unfree, You’re like sunlight in an austere day, Where the children smile and play…. When Hope in this soil be impaired, Your love elevated, ‘felt really cared, When my spirit broke by the stormy weather, And all things seem unanswered prayer, You are the thermal light of my sanctuary, That gives infinite heat, life -- extremely…. When the war is raging on and on, And doubtfulness ascends to confusion, You’re the soundness of my choice, The clarity, precision of my voice…… When my essence are full of bitterness, Your sweet smile filled the emptiness, When I lose this chaotic battle, And Hope escalates too little, You’re the cheerful hand who lifted me, To rise and shine and live, fly freely…… When everything in this life is grievance, Your wonderful mind is my alliance, Whilst ignorance is all in this life, And tears could only be shed, unwiped, Yo

Ferris Wheel and Roller Coaster ride Led Zep Lopez 10.22.13 Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win, Things push you up, cases pull you down, Like riding in a rotating upright wheel, With a big smile and a little bit frown….. It’s not the game of hide and seek, Just we seated on a ferris wheel, And travelled via roller coaster ride, Mixing our emotions, guts and will…….. Skipping up in the blue heavenly skies, Wheezing down the hill through gravity, Hiking in the cartwheel of doubtfulness, Dreaming on and waking up to reality….. One or more inversion, turn us to upside down, A ferris wheel and roller coaster ride, Jealousy, Love, Hope, Hate and Faith, Throw away your ego, I’ll eat my pride…

New Hope Led Zep Lopez 12.31.2007 The boar bids farewell, While the rat says hello, Thirty seconds before midnight, The new bloods came to flow…… We guided by the signs, Through the moon and stars, Constellation, Little and Big Dippers, To heal the wounds and the scars… You guided me by Your love, Across the trials and the obstacles, Trust, sincerity and faith, Hope would be recycled…. Fireworks out, Smoke in, In this night of lights and noisy, New hope, New life will roll, Hope this year would be happy…

The girl with ravishing eyes Led Zep Lopez 8.23.13 10:05PM Her eyes that always seducing me, Staring thousand of paintings, In a circular squared wall, In the numerous nameless caves, Her captivating eyes, so enduring, The name written in the branches of tree, Sweetly gliding, enticing me, Drafted her name like this: Endless Memories! With teary eyes, Lucky those who loved you! Endear, indeed, gently beloving, Her eyes with tears but smiling, The flowers picked with scented smell, Tying the lovely scent in her neck, Where the gentle kiss climb to her nape, While my hands caressing her lovely hair, Down to her stomach, to her breast, Her lips define like this – inviting kissing through being lovable, Beautiful one, so alluring, so huggable, Her ravishing eyes stared at me, Million of stars sparkled and gleamed, The girl with ravishing eyes is my dream……

Daredevil Risk-taker I remember my friend’s response when I asked him if he is gambling – “I told you and I bet you , I’m not a gambler.” It took me a few seconds to get it. In a gambling sense, wagering of money or something of material value placing them to a gambling den, sport events or betting games and to ‘holy place’ called casino to gain more money or prizes is the foremost intent of the bettor. In this scheme where odds are defining matter to roll the dice or spin a roulette in your favor-- on the winning side, you must maintain your pace in a triumphant momentum regardless the weight of the stake.   Source image: roulettelessons.com While on the other end, meaning on the losing edge, tears are the familiar stuff. From there, you want to overcome the bad luck by betting more to promptly recover your lost fortune, the bigger the betting, the more bitter the lost, the more devastating the effect to your life.   That’s why you fervently pray to 'g

"I can't fall asleep to your lullaby" by Led Zep Lopez created 9.28.07 Guitar riffs echoing in my soul, Yet a humming sound to my deaf ears, From the sound barrier my eyelids fall, After staring to your eyes full of tears.. Missing the hands that rocked my cradle, For I can't fall asleep to your lullaby, A sorrowful heart to lumber and saddle, My weary mind set to soar and fly..... You can get my pillow but not the love, Separate the cushion from the bed, Will lend my arms for you to hug, Just to hinder the tears to shed........ You can't teach me how to sleep, With eyes wide open and cold touch, Stop singing for me to weep, Love is not a "game and watch"....... Still can't fall asleep to your lullaby, Even you sing your loveliest song, Need to leave and wave goodbye, Before this rare feeling get me wrong....... Source image: www.fanpop.com

"The Radiance of My Brain" by Led Zep Lopez created 2.14.08 She's the light of my sanctuary, The invincible wall at my side, She's the reason of my poetry, And my wings when I glide................. She's my refuge in time of storm, And the sunlight after a rain, She's my dream when I was a "worm", And the radiance of my brain................ She's the constraint of my infinity, The fairness of my judgement, She's the justice of my sanity, And the home of my contentment.......... She's the clarity of my understanding, The tranquility when I am wild, She's the lovely voice when I sing, She's one of a kind.............................

God’s control mechanism: Law of Universal Gravitation God permitted some things to float in the sky, such as dust, clouds, creatures with wings and ability to fly, things that could work and sustain against gravitational pull, and anything lighter than air.   Birds in the cloudy sky Source image: flickriver.com On the other hand, and with God permission also, humans invented and developed things to glide above like airplanes, or the likes of balloons, sky lanterns and kites, but these are within the limited timeline only.  Nothing was invented to float endlessly in the sky, even the well-propelled machines and artificial satellites.  And even winged- birds created by God are getting tired and need to rest to their nest.   Hot-air balloons festival Source image: flyingcoloursballonns.com Mankind courtesy of the Wright Brothers - Orville and Wilbur, had high dreams to fly high and stay in the sky, besides many people tried it before even in ancient times.

A walk with Mother Nature In this modern world, in this fancy land decorated by Light-Emitting Diode lamps and neon lights, in this fast-paced society maneuvered by high technology thru remote controls, where the mobility of humans is at high velocity, where gadgets and convenience are all that matters, you may stop and look into this thought for a while: Source image: en.wikipedia.org Source image: flickrhivemind.net Try to appreciate the unseen beauty that you might not yet discerned around you, the beauty of innocence.  Walk once in a while, Define the meaning of life by counting your little steps towards your desired refuge, wherever it is.  Don’t rush in, enjoy the promenade and take your time.  All walks are worthwhile, if you value the purpose of them. You may travel and stroll outside the noisy and polluted city.  Along your way, you will encounter these little things that seems unnoticeable to you before: The buzz of a bee, The chirps of birds in
