Handprints on my glass

Fly Smoke They went behind the garage for a fly smoke From end to end The weightless fog enfolded the exquisite air They were too high on the happy side It was either crime, the basketball, music or love They chose love over all A spoon for their hungry souls. And above them is this quiet man Staring at them like a sightless one in a canopy Anguished as he recalled his younger days A lad, wild and free, he was too high then on the happy side It was either crime, the basketball, music or love He chose love over all But look what happened to his soul: ------------------------------- His heart beats speed up Like adrenaline flows And mixed with his blood The smoke fades away As fog at a snail’s pace disappeared A devil’s face grinned at him Like a thousand lights in a night beam. He saw the young gal in the street Alone, a helpless fresh meat He chose love over all Love she never asked or wished for She yelled for help, she cried and cried He saw her face li...

You showed me charming scenery of magic peaks and dazzling sunshine above the clear and blue waves Below your comfort lying the golden and fertile field With double rainbow in the sky when you were born Aside from the golden spoon in your big mouth Indeed, you are a legend, a god to your tribe. You can cure illness and you can spread it too You can cap the mountain white and the sky blue You can control weather, you make the cloud falls, the wind stops and the sun gleams as well But at the end of the day the darkness thrives And you will realize that you’re just an idol and not a God. You are human with limits on time and power You will never stay on top forever Believe me it is just fantasy living here Pretending to be brave amid growing fears For there is another side of life waiting for us-- A different stage, just platform somewhere over there.

In the beginning when He said, "Let there be light," On Earth, on this planet Out of the sheer darkness The sun rose over the mountain, The moon shone over the harbor And the stars twinkled in our eyes. In the middle of the night When hope lying soundly dead When knees bended and tears shed Where the eyes that could only see Are from the pillows on my bed, Seems unanswered prayer In a cold and bleak weather. And out of this dangerous world Where the matter met the time and space There is my God who is unlimited The answer is here On His own spell and pace With His infinite power and mercy On His timing will pour unto me. My God has no limits And exceedingly great Above matter, time and space My Limitless God who's power is boundless Unmeasurable by any measurements His timing is like an accurate scale in complicated math And a perfect steer in perilous path.

In the Cornfield of sadness I cannot walk A Drinking Boy thirsty for delight A silent and loner man who never talked Petrified I am and timid in my own flight. Embracing my heart without fervor is vain Feeding my soul without zeal is certainly wasted Just adding grieve to my core full of pain Heaven on earth, flavorful yet never been tasted. Running out of happy thoughts to think I cannot fly high in the middle of struggle and tussle From the highest hill to deepest lake I sink But strived back to the land and return to the battle. Read and see my soul in my first sorrow Inflict a blade of pain to my wounds deeper To the green corn moon I eagerly stare for tomorrow Chance and glee to God I will whisper. Understand and ease my strife Cleanse my spirit by your wonderful heart Regret is when I look back over my life But your love eases my trouble and doubt. In the Cornfield of sadness I once walked Conquering mind is what I got And lovely and beautiful soul Blo...

Natuto akong magtiis ng hirap Naranasan kong lumuha at mahapis Nasaktan ako sa maraming dalita’t lungkot Wala na akong dapat ikatakot Namanhid na ako sa sakit Kung ano pa ang darating sa buhay Di ako mananamlay Sa pananalig at paglilingkod sa Iyo Nalampasan ko ang lahat ng pighati Ang mga hilahil, pagsubok at bagabag Sa awa’t tulong at pagmamahal Mo. Maraming tao ang napapahamak Maraming sa Iyo ay di nakakakilala Sapagkat sa mga diyus-diyosan sila’y sumasamba Sa mga imahe at larawan Na inanyuan ng mga tao lamang Hindi sa ispiritu at katotohanan Ako ay mapalad at pinili Mo mula sa karamihan Na ang bilang ay tulad sa mga buhangin sa dagat Inililigtas Mo ako sa lahat ng uri ng kasamaan Ikaw oh Ama, ang nakilala kong iisang Diyos na tunay Espiritu sa kalagayan Ang Pinakamarunong at Pinaka-makapangyarihan Simula ng aking kabataan, naranasan ko na ang Iyong patnubay At ang mga himala Mo na nangyari sa aking buhay. Ikaw ang May-ari ng aking buhay at lakas Ikaw ang Ma...

12 Gates of Knowing Original version (2001) Slight Revision (2017) Gate 1, Be Sweet; Janus Artelius opened the door Wanted to dance on my floor Instead she sang 8 Days a Week But she was so pale and so weak She demanded me to be sweet As I was as innocent as a sheep Recipient of a letter-- stay as salty as you are Demanding as she wanted me to fly so high She left me by writing Goodbye Plagiarized lyrics from Air Supply. Gate 2, Be Jealous; Charity Aid walked along my Winding Road She came to me so gorgeous and bold While I wanted to walk in Penny Lane Just that so simple and plain Popularized by the Fabulous Four I have reached the highest score I crossed the bridge as I stepped there But I guessed, got my fair share When I saw her laughing with another kid I never begged for love or even through a bid. Gate 3, Be Cautious; Yankee Doodle knocked on the heaven’s gate And she squarely walked in the very sharp blade She smiled and sat on my lap With a nerv...

You recall when you sat on the floor She opened the door And asked you, “What’s on your mind?” The Bishop riding a Horse While the Queen glances as the King eats And the hand takes the shit “Want to see a piece of my mind?” You said, when she smiled and replied, “Yeah, what’s the piece on your mind?” You kissed your queen like a brave-heart king Like there is no other queen Staring at your aqua blue screen When the million stars like a supernova sting Emerging, burning, gliding, exploding In the distressed sky Where all the cores sauté and fry Yet she’s grinning and pleased; Electrified with made-up bliss.

Somehow this atmosphere of casualness Slithering slowly to creep out Like million words of encouragement Leading to fear, dismay and fright; A pain in your eyes when you beam and grin With a despairing heart in your delusion Sorrowful news flashing in your screen Your heart meandering gently to confusion; In this game of fools, you’d never win Like a fighter in the one-sided podium Harshly wounded by a false pledge Crying--shedding tears is your only medium.

When I cross the bridge of uncertainty And the valley of fear and sorrow And the path seems so narrow The alley has spikes and snakes Seems no light at the road's end I will bend my knees And vow my head Whisper a prayer, my steering wheel. It is my compass, my roadmap Though the mountain is so foggy And the hill is so rocky And the clouds appear so dark And my tires become insignificant I will spread my arms Lift my head to the sky Whisper a prayer, my tried and tested tire. And the bridge became certain The valley rejoiced with blissfulness And the path widened its road The alley has grasses and roses There's a light in the road's tunnel When I bended my knees And vowed my head There was an answered prayer. My precise compass, my accurate map And the mountain's path was so clear The hill was so lovely Blue sky in a wonderful day Tires and wheels, perhaps useless in my journey Just faith and a whisper, needless to say Will lead you in your destination, with a gratefu...

From the galactic plane of Milky Way Is an area of obscured skies Spans roughly and widely on either side Home of the million lies Like fake friends on your back and below Traitors sneer behind the sights That overly invisible in your senses Perilous on your lovely flights. I’d rather be alone flying In this savage and desperate sky Than holding the hands of the false chums Fondling the palms of the untruth and lie Bridging the gap of Zone of Avoidance Is like wishing for my own extinction From the optical wavelengths -- I nullified them ‘Awakened and learned from their deception.

You’re only a pawn in their game Invisible yet flaws can’t conceal So how does it feel? Blinded, muted and lamed. Religion is Love So there is no burning hell But inside your head, Oh well, There is hell, but do not dive. This is just an ode for freedom For in this world of slavery And the damn unjust society As rare as gold; the wisdom. Ain’t no sunshine in breaking dawn, But shade of darkness And strange blissfulness And you just like a rolling pawn – alone.

Don’t know what to think Some are feeding their dreams Others stay and stay stagnant But who‘s happier and who’s not? In this mobile world In the expanding universe All who fly can reach the sky And so the one can kiss the sky by just setting foot on the ground While others slide, hence crying in chasing it You don’t need wings You don’t need power You don’t need strings Just your mind, it is your power Love is your wings and strings You can still fly by standing on your land Believe me, when love is on your hand You wouldn’t slip and slide For God will be at your side.

In this book of life written by our tears As we read it chapter by chapter, page by page There was a lovely pledge of always loving you Forever, as we cannot reckon up the stars in the midnight sky As infinite as the universe created by the Maker As boundless and timeless as an empty space with no boundary Until hell freezes over, until the cows come home I will be in love with you. As we turn the page As we grow older and live longer Even if the page would turn into yellow And all of our dreams are not plausible I will still be loving you. There were lonely pages too of almost losing you For all that we are just tiny spots in the vast space But the pain we got marked deepest scars In the face of the moon, in the land of unknown planet But I vowed to always loving you With your beautiful mind Our love will be the loudest piece in the unfathomable masses of stars So everlasting, beyond the place that we couldn't imagine Even when the eternal light will not shine...

Beyond flying under the radar, is to inflict death by a thousand cuts Further than the hot wind that could possibly reach, in several islands of Pacific Around the globe, around the planet The chemical, the weapons, the nuclear, will lead to mass destruction Insults after insults, deranged old man against the little rocket man Where do we go from here? Innocent lives in danger, cause by an anger Wise men are more boorish than the fools -- In the end we will all shake off! The angels are crying, the ancient souls are mourning….. And another civilization with stone and sticks will emerge again Guided by the travelers from the space From the desert and wilderness, people will rise like an ape The harmless people, the primeval ones with no knowledge at all History will repeat itself, and so the people will persist to live on Earth And the life and the struggle will go on, and on and on.

Drama queen 9. Joke only 10. Ang pogi ng "Ex" 11. Ang "yayaman" nyo 12. Ideal Woman sa manhid na puso PROLOGUE Ako si Vicente P. Inocencio, Vince for short, 36 years old na at tubong Makati.  Wala pang asawa, at hindi ko alam kung magkakaroon pa. Pasintabi sa mga kakilala kong mga bading o silahis, pero hindi ako kabilang sa kanila, sadya lamang na may mga pagkakataong natakot akong magmahal at hindi pinahintulutan ng tinatawag nating dakilang tadhana. Kung magiging matandang binata ako ay okay lang, maipagmamalaki ko naman na naranasan kong umibig nang bulgar at nang lihim hindi lang minsan kundi nang maraming beses, kung ito nga ay matatawag na pag-ibig. Natutunan ko ang kasabihang "Love at first sight", pamilyar din ako sa mga kantang ...

Hindi ko marinig ang pintig ng iyong puso Basa naman ng luha ang aking mga mata kaya mukha mo'y di ko mabanaag Ngunit ang hikbi ay malinis kong naririnig At ang isipan ko'y tuluyang iginugupo Na unti-unting nakadarama ang aking kaluluwa ng pagkahabag Malinaw na aking nasagap ang kakulangan sa iyo - ang pag-ibig. Marahil ay hindi mo nadama o nagkulang sila ng itinanim Marahil ay hindi kayo nagkatagpo, ang isa ang lumihis ng landas Iisa man ang inyong adhika at damdamin o kalooban Nagkaiba naman kayo ng pagtanggap, Marahil sila ay nagbukas ng bisig Ikaw naman ay ayaw lumapit upang yumakap Hindi pumailanlang ang musikang dinala ng hangin - ang pag-ibig. Kailan maitatama ang mali? Kailan maitatanim ang nagkulang sa binhi? Kailan magkakasalubong sa pagyakap? Kailan matutuyo ng hangin ang mga matang basa sa luha? Kailan madarama ang kumpletong pag-ibig? Ang kaligayahan ng puso at kaluluwa. Kapag ba nagpantay na ang mga paa ng mga puno? At nilamon na ng lupa ang...

Salmo ng Pananalig 7.05.17 Malunod man ako sa lawa ng mga suliranin Ang Makapangyarihang Diyos ang hahango sa akin Ang Kaniyang Kamay na humati sa dagat Ang Siya ring sa kaligtasan ko ay maglalapat Masunog man ako ng nag-aapoy na bagabag Ang Diyos ang sa akin ay patuloy na mahahabag Siya ang nagpuwesto sa araw, buwan at mga bituin Siya rin ang magbibigay ningas, alab at liwanag sa akin Sa nagdidilim kong paligid Ang Kamay niya ang maghahatid Sa dakong ligtas, aking moog at akin ring kanlungan Hindi niya ipagkakait ang Kaniyang templo kailanman Patuloy akong mananalig sa Diyos kong tunay Na Siyang may-ari ng lakas ko at buhay.

You are the unscented flower in this ugly field A vulnerable wealthy weed with no value Like a lightless fortress over the hill and the land far away And a forgotten pledge in a world with amnesia Written in the sand, blew by the wind Read by the blind mind and heard by the deaf heart While the vow was touched and felt by the numb hand You are a prisoner of your own gaol Caged by your imaginary fence So rich floret who are you? You forgot your roots and the land who nurtured you Now settling in infertile soil in a barren area of land The seeds are worthless and so are you For you are barred to share your pollen grains Little by little the thin plate for a fairy is falling and fading along with the hue Struggling to recognize the butterflies and the bees And so the caring hand who's undyingly loving you.

Till debt do us part 5/31/17  7:19AM I've tried to give you a hundred When you asked to lend you for fifty For I knew that you are my friend And you're not okay when your hand is empty. But you insisted for fifty with your pride risen up And so your voice with conviction "I will be okay with fifty only!" you said with a strife So I granted your wish and handed it to your condition. Time passes by, the sun rose and set Day by day, I've been waiting for you Like a vow of lovers in front of noisy trumpet But the days were gone and the red flag started to get blue. Now I need my fifty even you promised to return it by sixty For my pocket is now empty and so my hope When I heard your voice as you've said "Just wait for me!" And you added "Let my financials be coped". Few months passed by, I badly needed my fifty Can be reduced to forty even down to twenty more Just give it back to me, you lost soul and my buddy! For m...

In a cold plain capped with white snow There was a woman with a child whom I saw Like a northern star shining in a bleak dark sky Riding in a maple leaf is her spirit soaring so high. I remembered her as a teenage girl dreaming for a better land Like a lovely damsel wishing from a fairy's wand Not knowing she was already a princess in her native soil Surrounded by knights in her kingdom's wall. When she came to the strange land in a zero degree Nearby soil of home of the brave and land of the free Everyday she knew that will be a game and struggle As a princess she will wage war as living a life is a battle. In the land of bears, frozen forests and lakes She came to conquer the cold and melt down the snowflakes With her warm  heart and burning desire The bleakness was caught unaware with her fire. She beaten her past by her tough soul She's facing her present by a good call A mother, a decent and a lovely woman Her days are brighten by her beautiful...

Imagine a place of blissfulness where we are not slaves by our own chain Imagine a home of contentment where children’s mirth are all we hear When mommy cries not because of pain But due to joyfulness and pure bliss my dear. Imagine a life without fear, fear from terror and deluge Imagine a life with peace, secluded from harm, covered in refuge Imagine there are no boundaries --- One land merged with different countries Different blood blended in one strain --- One strive, one pain, one gain. Imagine the Crosses and the Crescents, the Whites and the Blacks living in harmony Imagine you and me, he and she, when united would transpose to We.

Dream, Reality and Shades in between 7/19/17  7:05AM Riding on the hybrid bus Where all the workers line through And the street is so busy so is the mass The traffic light turns into blue. All are sleeping except me Daydreaming for a while in this lonely booth Before waking up to reality Waiting in line is the harsh and slapping truth. Hope is flickering and love is fading In this doubtful place Negativity is spreading and radiating Hence slowing my pace. Dream, reality and shades in between A demanding but unjust society Like a jester between the gods and the queen Fighting the shackles of slavery.

True beauty runs through soul, a face without mask, Smiling till eternity, a forever joy truly Shimmering, radiating through lovely energy Beholds in a near distance even at far Makes the crowd understands, loves -- A beautiful soul without negativity Lies deeply in her body, in her body is a thing of beauty, gives joy forever amazingly.  ---"A beautiful sacrifice"

When I wake up this morning And see your calm and pleasant face with a smile and full of joy though our Tomorrow is frowning Still clinched to continue this race. Our morning talks, tearful prayers after a battle from the forlorn night with wounded hearts and souls reminded us that we are players of this unjust platform with worthy fight. When I wake up this morning Searching for your calm and pleasant face and see you in our bedroom's nook My heart is smiling, reminding that you filled in my empty space. Our morning walks, while holding our hands tightly after a battle from pain and confusion with broken hearts and weary minds reminded us that we are two souls, gladly united as one spirit and in one vision. When I wake up this morning When sorrows and miseries died Still seeing your lovely face And the sun is bright and shining The pledge of love still be by your side -- Through sickness and through health Be forever by your side.

Down-the-wire, the last man stands tall, Whilst others digging their own grave That man, the only man who never fall, Still unbowed, lion-hearted so brave. Never bent, unfazed, never broken, Love shivering up his spine Even all skies were fallen, Glisten, excel and shine. Man, please don’t let them down, The people rely on you Don’t’ let their faces turn into frown, Let these black clouds be a sky blue. For smiles returning to the faces For all who weep and grieve, For all the tribes and races, Now in God’s wand, we believe.

Chapter 12 Ang Pag-iibigan nina Blu at Eliz Ang Eris o Buwan ay isang malaking satelayt na bilog na nababalutan ng lupa sa magkabilang bahagi nito, ang gitnang parte o sa loob nito ay isang malaking istraktura na laboratoryo at planetarium.
