EDEN SORIANO TRINIDAD

Don't Burn The Bridge

Electrifying kindness and adoration

Sweetness like coated almond chocolates

Mouth-watering blueberry cheesecakes

Trust built on daily chats and video calls

Loyalty is as deep as dipped galvanized iron.

Clinging to each other like gecko

Never leaving like one's own shadow

At a hiss spitting venom of ugliness

Two pairs of slippers split in separate ways

Aristocrat eyes looking haughtily/ pretentiously.

Marred and tainted by old devil’s trick

Volcanic lava pouring immensely

Like a motorcycle without a break

Electrocuted tongue causes convulsive rhetoric

Zorro and batman came alive with a kick.

Yet, don't burn the bridges

Dogs and cats are also fighting without end

It's raining while the sun is also shining

Red, when mix with green turns into orange

But fire sprinkle with oil is no heaven.

Century reached its peak

Destiny brings back sour grapes

Unmoved, won't settle, like oil and water

But light plain sheet steel when joint together

Create an earthquake and hurricane proof house system.

Do Not Withhold Good

Men borrow what they all have now

Mediocre people they just looked down

Less fortunate ones seek help to grow

Knocking on hearts trying to beckon

Opportunities for them to bestow

Strong willed, spirited nature

Surviving life’s stormiest weather

They uphold and relentlessly climb up for success

Pulling down others for sure conquest.

They do not have notion to share

Taking everything for their welfare

When it is in the power of your hands to do so

Do not withhold good from those whom it is due.

The Words of the Alpha and the Omega

Remains true in spite of “negativism”

In our hearts we plan our course

But the Creator establishes our resource.

Serenity

The never-ending call for world peace

And musings in spite of differences

Continue the Call to achieve

This illusive Peace through poets

And Poetries.

Waking up in the noise of traffic jam in most cities

Choking us with endless waiting for vehicles to reach destinies

Muses phrasing traffic and noises

Screaming, redrafting traffic jerks and breaks

Busy penciling-in ballads and verses for peace.

But can we truly ever achieve WORLD PEACE? Through Poetry?

A sage once told me, “Yes, we can, if we walk our talk!”.

If the demons in our body will be soothed and calmed by poetry

But if poets only etch their quills, making it doodle in red or black

And posts hundreds of certificates to boast each achieves?

Can we achieve World Peace?

I will preach neither teach!

But I will do outreach!

Through my fancy verses!

Evoking in our hearts to be like a dove,

Offering olive branches

Wiping away traces of dark clouds looming in the dark morning sky

And with the outstretched arms of colorful lives tinted with cheers,

Will reach instead on a clear day a deep blue canvass in the sky.
