Pearl of the Orient

A land surrounded by water,
7, 107 islands and islets to explore,
An archipelago of time,
A conquerer's dream.

An island secluded by water,
In different lands; bloods are spilled,
Traversing the plains of this archipelago,
A land of suprise in ev'ry corner.

Head North; a travel to the past...remains untouched,
Head East; a limestone cave turned into a tourist spot,
Head West; a perfect near triangular shaped volcano,
Head South; a spiky fruit is their delicacy.

Citizens of this land are welcoming and friendly,
All of them are either joyous or ecstatic,
Welcome to the hidden paradise,
Mabuhay!, welcome to the Philippines.

Scorched Sand

As I perceive that my doom is in sight, All I could do now is to sigh at night, Scorched in the desert...I am but a knight, Deserted by my comrades, I will fight. A week has passed...I saw some shining light, My failing has come to this; for a parched might, Every passing days; I counted some wight, Every notion that my sane self is right. Yearn for the people...Myself stranded tight, Should I give in to death...to pledge; a plight, No! As I came down from this mind; alight, I look down from an abyss to a height. As different names calls to mine; some hight, The chances to survive this sod is slight, Severed arms and legs with an even blight, The midday closes in, for me to flight. This clothing I have is in shred; a dight, A mirage of an oasis; some fright! As I could see it is real...a bight? As I rest, I wonder if I'm alright.

Memoirs of Time

Memoirs of Time, where shall I start... How about to the West, Where Alexander Hamilton puts up a fight, With his friend; Aaron Burr. Frederick the Great, His tactics may be oblique, But the Old Fritz pursued, To win the Seven Year War. Going back to the Philippines, Where the two heroes reside, Without them; we're different, Let's look at their stories: Dr. Jose P. Rizal; a valiant hero, Whose poem reconsidered, As hatred among Spaniards, During the Spanish Regime. Excelentísimo Señor Apolinario Mabini, A fitting title for the late Prime Minister, He was also an educator, lawyer and stateman, Also called as the Brain of the Katipunan.

Reinstatement of Faith

Waking up to another day ahead; peaceful slumber, As I pray and praise to the Omnipotent One I know, Making my way into transition to Him, as I were, I’m making my way into faith again, I undergo, Outside, smelling the air, walking, thanking the Lord today, Peace and Happiness, overflows within me as I walk, Reaching the first of my destination, still far away, Praying in a transport for a safe trip, a silent talk, Living in the present while listening worship music, Jovial feeling as I listen to ‘Every Victory’, Second place of a futuristic proportion; cubic, Checking the futuristic place and its own history, The Devil and its influence to the people; the Wrath, I am lost and I found my way after an hour; a path. Final Destination into the large amphitheatre, To run into the fifth floor, and the fear; acrophobia, Stopped to say “Is it already over?” as I uttered, As I looked around and saw a crowd; agoraphobia, Relaxing my whole body, after a while, I am calm, Freeing myself from anxi...
