The Twilight's Whispers

A single tree stands solemn in the fading light,
Its branches weave stories in the velvet night.
Pink and purple hues embrace the sky,
As twilight whispers its soft goodbye.

The waters below, a mirror of dreams,
Reflecting heaven's gentle streams.
Each ripple tells secrets, muted, deep,
Where the day's last echoes quietly sleep.

Shadows stretch, the stars alight,
A dance begins to welcome night.
In nature's quiet, peace takes its throne,
And the earth hums softly, alone.

Beneath the canopy, stillness unfolds,
A sanctuary where life's beauty molds.
The gentle breeze carries forgotten tunes,
Through starlit skies and silver moons.

The whispers of dusk, they linger and play,
A soft hymn to cradle the close of day.
And as the night claims its silent reign,
Dreams arise, unbound by earthly chain.

Dance of Seasons: An Ode to Adult Life

In the dawn of adult years, with dreams so bright and bold,

We step into the world, our stories yet untold.

The road ahead is winding, with highs and lows untamed,

Each step a dance of balance, with joy and sorrow named.

The midday sun of life shines down with fervent heat,

Ambitions climb the sky, as challenges we meet.

Successes bring us soaring, the peaks of joy we find,

Yet valleys wait with lessons, where growth is oft designed.

As twilight gently falls, and years like rivers flow,

We find a quiet strength in all that we now know.

The tapestry of life, with threads both dark and light,

Reveals a depth of beauty in the coming of the night.

Through every rise and fall, the heart learns to embrace,

The spectrum of our feelings, the breadth of human grace.

For in each high and low, life's richness is unfurled,

A journey of emotions, in the theater of the world.

Eternal Glow: Ode to a Mother's Light

In the heart of the home, a gentle light glows,

A beacon of love that forever grows.

She's the whisper of leaves on a summer's breeze,

The kiss of the sun through the canopy of trees.

With hands that weave comfort, soft as a sigh,

She stitches the moments as time trickles by.

Her laughter, a melody played in the air,

Fills the rooms with a music so rare.

In her eyes, you'll find the stars' gentle gleam,

A harbor of dreams, an endless stream.

She's the dance of the firefly in twilight's embrace,

The tender touch of morning's first grace.

A mother, a giver, a compass, a guide,

Through storms and through calm, she's always beside.

Her wisdom, a lighthouse when seas turn rough,

Her strength, an anchor when winds blow tough.

In the quiet of night, when the world's hushed and still,

Her presence is peace, her love is the thrill.

For the gift of a mother, so gentle, so bold,

Is a story of love that never grows old.

May this poem reflect the beauty and strength of Mothers everywhere. 🌻🌹

The Sea in Me

Just like a cool, deep sea,

You'll find the person in me.

A positive outlook can be seen,

Meaningful thoughts buried within.

Look at it as calming & relaxing,

like a friend that would never let you down.

Feel the warmth of the sea embracing,

like a friend that will always be around.

Dip in, swim in,

know the depth within

but never take something from its naturality,

for you know how Mother Nature sends its fist thru calamities...

Freedom in Waters

Imperial Palace Hotel & Resort-Cebu

Breath in, dive in, swim through...
refreshing it is!

Bluish soft-cradle wrapped around me

Lulls me to silence underneath the surface,
Freedom as it is!
Swirl around, moving freely underneath...
Seeing it clear..
the sun's reflection dancing with me!
I can smile..
playing with bubbles
as I breathe out...
If I could only stay for long...
and leave the surface behind,
forgetting the time...
It takes courage and faith
to move freely on this crystal.
But once you embrace it...
the joy it brings
can never be counted.

D e s i r e e

The name of the one desired,

A heart that of a sweet child.

A mind of a simple lass,

A dreamer of her own truss.

With her extravagant smile,

To welcome you from a mile

A refreshing scene to see,

Jolly companion to be.

Trials and sufferings abound,

Her faith had made it all bound.

All of it she would lose sight,

But never her friends all night.

The moment I lay my eyes on you,

the face of a sad angel,

Thinking out loud but never said anything.

"This girl looks like my daughter," so I thought...

I have noticed, have asked, and found...

yes, it's true...

The reason for those sad eyes...

yet, talking to you...

I could see...

I have seen the beauty of your heart,

the kindness of your soul...

'till it uncovers the refreshing smile,

and it never left my memory...

until we meet and see each other again.

From then on, you've been like a daughter to me.

Emily Faith Princess

My daughter with Princess Belle on Disney Princess mall tour, all in a yellow gown

A special gift has been given to me

Extraordinary and unlikely

To keep and to be taken care of.

Who can't comprehend love's so Motherly?

Believing for greater things to happen

Trusting and hopeful for things not yet seen

Her name is a reminder, Faith it is,

Adorable! What a Princess she is!

(a poem celebrating my daughter's 10th birthday)

Baguio Blooms Festival

One of the Float in the Parade with a theme "Save Our Forest", used a variety of yellow flower blooms as design.

BAGUIO

City on a mountain, your glorious beauty mesmerizes

Your greens, and fruits, and flowers, morning dew I cannot forget

Above in the clouds, your majestic view epitomizes

A beauty that I long to see and my lens eager to set.

Come back again as your enchanting beauty whisper to me,

Pine trees pointing towards the sky welcomes me as I come near

As you touch my face, I can feel your soft embrace, swinging me.

As you entangle my hair, I can smell your breath, I am here.
