The SEVEN CAPITAL SINS (Haiku) LUST My skin against yours Excites me, searches my soul How I want you so! LUST 2 Besa me mucho I don't know you, I don't care I just want you so GLUTTONY What dares contest me? I can always have as much My eyes will enjoy GREED Nothing out of reach None to stop the best I do Claiming what they own PRIDE Obviously better I'll blow you off with a stride I am (near) perfect ANGER Do crumble in fear Because I know not how to Forgive and forget ENVY Evergreen blossoms While I decay inside-out Oh, how i loathe them SLOTH Dream as they all toil Ignore cries of weariness They sweat for my tithe by: Jessa Bien ----------------------------------------- Thirty Minutes Of Waiting by: Jessa Bien Thirty minutes of abstact designs lines and colors and blotches swirling in front of me teasing my eyes to see beyond what they physically are challenging thoughts, asking questions testing my patience. Thirty minutes of temptation I sit in a pool of intellectuals I listen to them babble, raise their sentiments but i don't have concerns I stay in the farthest corner spending my ink, passing my time, imagining my purpose. Thirty minutes left and people arrive oh why the hell do they have to be fashionably late? Thirty minutes of longing praying and hoping for things to stop. -------------------------------------------- Pearl of the Orient Seas Email Ad:vbb@easy.com Country:Philippines (Note:This poem was composed by me after the triumph of People's Power at Edsa,Manila,Philippines in February 1986 and was sent to the new President,Mrs.Corazon C.Aquino. Months later she replied with great gratitude and thanking me for my thoughtful gesture. Was I right to write this poem and symbolizes her as the Pearl of the Orient Seas?) Oh, Great Pearl of the Orient Seas! Thou light has tamed the groaning beast, And saved the drifting raft beneath, From long-lost hope and blinding faith! Thou stunned the World by thy mighty flare! Thou soothing voice is hope to thy people's ear, They dared ousted the tottering bear, For all they know thou has saintly care! Oh, now Great Pearl of the Orient Seas! Though from far apart the Beast still groans, Thou shalt stay still on thy pedestal, Thou art cordoned by thy people's Will! Thy People now are stead for thy command! They know thou speak a word they understand, They hope thou Love them so sincerely, So, let them breath they longed to be! Poem by:Virgilio Balmoria --------------------------- GRATITUDE Email Ad:gigette_jonas@yahoo.com PHILIPPINES For helping me see things on the brighter side, The flickering rays of the morning sun, For all the encouragement and unceasing support, You are a friend in the truest sense of the word. Most often than not I want to give up, You were there telling me be firm and tough, When tears are streaming down my face, Your helping hand appease with grace. I know sometimes I have been unfair, With your own troubles, I didn't care, But you stood by me despite all odds When life has been so cruel, unkind. The strength you give, your helping hand Are the best gift that God has provide These are the things I will always treasure Your generosity and friendly nature. My own shortcomings you readily accept, with no pretensions, doubts or pretext You never ever took me for granted Even when my demands seem so long and endless. When my emotion was at its lowest ebb, You held me close and never left You were always there to console me With no sham but genuine honesty. You always filled my life complete, leaving no room for pain and grief The fortitude you impart to face adversities Let me cope up with life's realities. To you my friend, my sincerest gratitude For being my solace in my solitude Your warmth and compassion I will always keep Hoping this friendship will remain so deep. We both still don't know what the future holds, Your warmth I will cherish when things get cold, The laughter we shared and the time we've spent Will always be with me until the very end. --------------- Blessed Van Walter G. Tablan Philipines Sitting around with nothing to do, thinking of how much I knew. These thinking I have is about the religion that I grew. Chosen from the garden of life, creating joy for others, One day blooming into something special. A bag full of tried emotions. I am strong, yet I am weak; having my own opinion yet fearing to express them. I am hope, yet optimistic about the future. through God's guidance everyday we're blessed. In my heart, im still living the best year of my life. ------------------ SPEAK Blend well with my bleeding heart, paint yourself blue and begin to feel, press every key as signals start, let these hands clutch and enclose a deal. Resolve this mess with ears lent, I'd gladly whisper truth with this breath, assured of not being bent, stay until the star's glow reaches death. Though it harms strength and sheds tears, what light! what light as my lost voice shook. sense this silence as it disappears, my trust, longed kept, my heart, in your book. Qhartinee Sajiran Philipines ----------------------- Then You Came So depressed So dark, I'm so useless, torned apart, am I really needed? This world so big I just can't understand I wish I had somebody to walk with me hand in hand, I feel so worthless Unwanted, Untrue, then dreams do really come true, I saw you, you guided me on this big world, I understood life's true meaning of having me in this world, It was magical and true, I was born in this world to share it with you... Dharmina Serabani Zamboanga City, Philippines ------------------------- Goodbye In a place so crowded, your face I see, A face so enchanted, this just can't be. So handsome, so white, I just want to hold you tight but what can I do, babe I'm missing you. You promised me love, but then you left. on that crowded place, you face I no longer see, so enchanted it is, but goodbye was the only word I've heard. Dharmina Serabani Zamboanga City, Philippines ----------------------- You Gave The Meaning.. I've been in darkness, A place where there is no signs of kindness, my heart chilled as ice, Given such a worthless prize. Then, you came, melted the ice surrounding my heart, Gave light into my darkness, gave meaning to my worthless prize. Showed me the meaning of life, Painted my world with color, my world that was once black and white, unwanted and neglected. Wish you'd never go away hoping, praying, "baby please stay", for if you'd go and we'd be apart, it would surely break my heart. Dharmina Serabani Zamboanga City, Philippines ---------------------------- Disguise Silence, Silence is all I hear, irritating, trembling I might be. If only you knew, All the things I've wanted to do with you, I know I sound corny, but what can I do? LOVE is corny, Corny is LOVE too, Sadness, I see, in you eyes it shows clearly. I hear your hopeless cries, but your showing me your great disguise, YOUR SMILE, so sweet, yet, I know your lonely, deep inside, I know your hurting, crying, longing for someone to help, ease the pain. If you only knew, how I longed to help you. Dharmina Serabani Zamboanga City, Philippines ________________ Poem I tried to sleep, but my eyes are widely open, can't sleep, so hard, concentrating, trying to count sheep as they jump from one rock to another, but a thought in my head seems to interrupt and bother me. So tired, still trying to sleep, my head hurts me head so much, but as i think something inside me hurts the most... My heart, it hurts my chest and my head more, can't sleep thoughts of missing you comes into my mind, I wanted to see you right by my side, with me, beside me, right there, in my reach.. where you are mine and I am yours forever..
