Love—The Basis for All Being

Love is the basis for all being. It can be described as actions towards others or to oneself based on compassion. Or actions towards others based on affection. It refers to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure to intense interpersonal attraction.

Love is the lodestar of Life…

It is the heart of life, the force that erases
the differences between people
it bridges the splits of bitterness
the pot of gold at the beginning
and at the end of the rainbow…

It springs the beauty that bends
across the sky on a stormy days
the security for which children weep
the yearning of youth
the adhesive that binds marriage…

the lubricant that prevents
devastating friction in the home
the safeguard of community life
the beam of hope in a world of distress…

It is a gift of God, the most enduring
most powerful virtue: LOVE!

(Filipino Version)

Isa kang mamahaling hiyas na nakapulupot
Sa baywang ng sagradong balangaw
Ilaw mo’y liwanag ng malawak na kalangitan
Kumikinang kahit sa gitna ng karimlan…

Tulay ka ng mga nasasawi’t nasasaktan
Pinapangarap ng mga taong nagmamahal
Ika’y langis na hahaplos sa lahat ng sigalot
Na namumutawi sa loob at labas ng tahanan…

Matibay kang bantayog ng mabuting pamayanan
Taglay mo’y buhay at dakilang pag-asa
Para sa mundong puno ng hilahil at hinagpis
Ang ma-angkin ka ay samo ng bawat isa…

Hindi matutularang regalong bigay ni Bathala
Ika’y makapangyarihan at walang katulad: O Pag-ibig!

Buhay Siya Sa Puso Ko At Alaala

Thanks Wikipedia for this image.
Sa alaala ng dating Dean Felicitas Balino ng Commerce Department
Leyte Colleges, Tacloban, Philippines.

Kung maibabalik lamang ang kahapon
'Di ako mag-aaksaya ng panahon
Na yakapin at hagkan ang nakaraan
At muling buhayin sa puso’t isipan
Ang matatamis na mga ngiti ng ina
Dulot nito’y saya sa bawat umaga…

Sa t’wing nakikita ko ang kanyang mga mata
Ang puso ko'y humahalakhak sa tuwa
Sila’y nagniningning parang mga bituin
Na kumikislap sa gitna ng dilim
'Di sapat ang mabulaklak na salita
Na isigaw ang kanyang pagkadakila…

Ang iniwan n’yang mga alaala
Sa buong mundo ay dapat iwagayway
Inubos ang kaniyang lakas at panahon
Sa paglinang sa kaisipan ng mga mag-aaral
Para sa kaniya mahalaga ang edukasyon
Ito’y kayamanan na ‘di maaagaw ninuman…

Habang hinahabi ko ang mga linya
'Di ko mapigilan ang pagdaloy ng luha
Nangibabaw sa puso ko’y kalungkutan
Dahil kailanma’y ‘di ko na siya makikita
Nguni’t sa kaibuturan ng aking puso
Mananatiling buhay ang alaala n'ya…

Dahil ang binhi na kaniyang ipinunla
Sa mga mag-aaral na kaniyang ginabayan
Ay nabuhay, yumabong at namunga!

Sizzling Butt

You can’t hide from me
I know all about you
You’re a seasoned star
Had been the smoke
Of controversy for many years
Cherished by million of your fans
You’re so gorgeous with your apparel
Of a white gown that covered
Your soft-slender-beautiful body…

One day, your sweet scent wraith
Through the place, like a haunting
And your fans grabbed you
Held you tight around your neck
They kissed your lips and cheeks
Leaving them with luminous spits…

You had complaint, wanting to stop them
Though they just ignored your wish
For them you’re their asset…

You’re yelling for help but nobody came
And in great pains, you cried
Then you fell down unconscious…

The hour altered, dusk became dawn
You woke up and screamed so hard
Seeing yourself lying in the pool of mud
With those filthy and ugly faces
Your own effigy, those sizzling cigarette butts!

Gayuma ni Inday Featured Poem @ EmanilaPoetry

Sa paghahanap ko ng materyals/ideas ngayong araw through net surfing para sa gagamiting kong blog article, itong “Gayuma ni Inday” na isang maikling tula na aking nahabi bago magtapos ang taon 2007 ang aking nasumpungan. Sa tagal ng panahon halos nalimot ko na - na ang tulang ito ay aking pala naipasa sa emanilapoetry.com under TulangPinoy sa kategoryang pag-ibig at pagmamahal.

At sa hindi ko rin inaasahan ang tulang ito ay napiling ma featured ng Admin sa kanilang website on December 20, 2007. Siyempre natuwa ako (kahit walang bayad) nguni’t di ko rin maiwasan ang magtanong – Ano ang mayroon sa tulang ito? Ano ang mensahe ng tulang ito sa ibang tao? Nasulat ko ito nang ako’y atakihin ng homesickness noon!_______________________________________________________

Gayuma ni Inday 

Anong gayuma ang gamit
ni Inday? Ako ay sabik
sa kan’yang karinyo’t halik
sa’king labi’y kumakapit

Kahit sa aking pagtulog
lasap ko’ng kan’yang pag-ibig
ang tamis at sobrang init
‘di mawala sa’king isip

Sa t’wing ginugunita ko
ang huli naming pagtagpo
kahit ako’y napapagod
tuloy parin ang pagkayod

Aking Inday humanda ka
sa muli nating pagkita
tuhod ko’y malalakas pa
lalaban hanggang umaga!

Hingal-hingal, isang dalit
Ng totoo kong pag-ibig…______________________________________________________

Ang emanilapoetry ayon sa (about section) is a network member website of the award-winning EMANILA.com. It started as a small section of EMANILA.com in 2003 to provide a platform for emanila members to promote their works in the internet.

With its growing membership, emanilapoetry expanded to house two other internet poetry properties, TULANGPINOY and PINOYVERSES, for poems written in Filipino (and other Philippine language) and English, respectively.

On 19 June 2005, emanilapoetry formally launched with its own domain name. At its opening, the poetry site had thousands of compositions from Filipino poets and poetry enthusiasts from various countries. Some of them confess that writing poetry was only a hobby. Hobby or not, some of the compositions reflect the creativity and insight of the Filipino. Some of the poems profess the writers’ longing for the Motherland, some are expression of love for someone, some are critical look at the environment and society, and some are simply random thoughts beautifully expressed in lyrical forms.
