A Desert Life As I watched the sunset in this landAnd fading lights dims the desert sandA time my memory seems so rightTo think of my love one's out of sight In the vastness of this ancient landLike flaming dots of red in the sandI miss the busy streets, city lightsThe traffic jams and those hurried life I recall the years when I was youngThe party and the songs that were sungAll the 'happenings'and so much funNow a memory and fore'er gone I think of my family and friendsA longing inside me that ne'er endsOnly in my mind that I'm with themA sad, empty feeling like a dream The only thing that keeps me goingFor my kids to finish their 'schooling'Another ten years in the offingTo end my work, and what I'm doing What I missed was my dad and momI always need their comforting warmFor even when they've gone long agoStill, I'm not ready to let them go And sometimes when I cry at nightI just wished that they hold me tightTheir faces, constantly in my brainAnd I just wept with so much pain I say now, if e'er my time will comeFor twice, I'm near the end of my lineI left a will to my dearest onesI'll be laid beside my dad and mom.


Jesus Diaz Llorico


A Few Seconds It was a scene, I remember wellAs we wait in school, for the bellYou sat with friends in the hallwayTalking and giggling all the way It started well with a simple stareA smile so sweet and full of careAnd it was a look that says it allFor it melt my heart and my soul Through years this shatters my mindIn dreams, it was always in rewindThese feelings that I deeply regretLove I never had, I can't forget If my prayers reach you o'er the seaTis' hope you recall, so you can seeA few seconds between you and meWill forever stay in my memory... Jesus Diaz Llorico


A Few Stars Tonight 'There are a few stars tonightJust scattered pebbles in the skyAnd the moon was nowhere in sightLike empty valley to human eye I stood alone with fascinationOn this night of good reflectionAs the silence was only brokenBy insects that wander in the openFor as the elderly sayingThat it's safe to walk this groundIf there was constant chirpingOf the crickets rhythmic sound My dream, my dream this many nightsIs to walk alone this unlighted path That neither scorpions or wild dogsSnakes and other predatorsWill be present...When I stroll this obscure sand There are a few stars tonightAnd to be alone this time of nightThe ideal place where I can prayAnd ask for blessing on my days.' Jesus Diaz Llorico


A Gentle Walk 'A gentle walkalong this roadin hushed silenceI glanced aroundas the sun coversthe fields of greena cloud of thoughtsin clear bright skythe tender bloomof early flowersthe trail of treesand scattered leavesyou have my heartthat beats for youyou have my eyesthat looks for youas my love holdsall our dreamsdown the rainand through the storm.'

A Spark For Me 'I stood alone beneath the treeas winds blew softly towards meand in my heart a lonely leafthat thinks of love that was so deepthat even if our love is briefbut still our hearts has much to keep I remember that fateful nightwhen I saw her such a delightshe didn't know first time we meetwe talked and greet she was so sweetas from that hour I seemed to flyshe had become my star and sky after so many thankless yearsI loosed myself to dreams and tearsthe thing I want to see againis her eyes if there's still painthat maybe if she is now freethe hope there's still a spark for me.'

Beautiful Love 'For lovers who experienced true loveIt's always their flame they're thinking ofTheir souls linked forever with the setting sunWith hearts and mind devoted as one As the world swirls on their erotic kissIn fascinating nights of fabled blissSuch rare existence of deep affectionThat tamed the winds in the same direction A wonder where the spirits of these lovers goAs it invades their youth with mystic glowFor they are younger when togetherAnd softer than flowers when they care This night that threatens some drizzled rainAnd some insects that circled yet againAs trees, luminous stars and fading moonlightConnived with the skies in each arms delight.'

Fire Call (Residential) It was dark... deep hours of the nightIn fire station along the streetWith an ambience that seems all rightAs firemen plunged in peaceful sleepAll at once, hotline sprung to life!As everyone scrambled and leapIn fire engines, in startled stateThey wear their firemen gears in haste With sirens wailing through the nightFire trucks in glowing beacon lightsGrim faced firemen stared in silenceAs they neared the blazed, so intenseRadio burst it's normal demandFrom captain to the base commandDisconnect, electrical sourceProvide enough water supply A mixed feeling, hard to defineWhen responding to every callIn hearts, they prayed to the Lord divineFor protection, to guide them allAs each, size up the situationSmoke, structure and wind directionAs people flee the fiery placeIt's where the firemen charged and raced As entire crew arrived on sceneThe instructions came loud and clearThree separate teams can be seenExtinguishment, hit in front and rearWith direct method of jet streamsVentilation, smashing glass, windowsWith axe, pike poles to tear down beamsRescue, the assigned team they knew They used forcible entry toolsTo gain access, can be revealedA dismay! as they saw weakened walls


Protective gears their only shieldThey moved on and the search ensuedNot a word, not a sound, each manSmoke filled residence they pursuedTo search for anyone, they can Each firemen has given their strengthSo the scene, be secured safelyAn emergency of this lengthWhere at stake could be familyEverything else are left behindThey're no longer your son, brotherHusband, relative, nor a friendBut true fireman! like no other Someone who really cares to knowWhat makes a fireman, a firemanThis calling not easy to showThe truth, they are the gentler onesBeing exposed, hard situationsFacing fears when there's fire aroundSeeing nothing when smoke aboundHearing repeated crackling sounds These men, simplest that you can findEvery news they're the silent onesAnd when, urgency of any kindThey are there to extend their handWhy they help strangers just like thatSimply in their hearts, a smile andOne call, they put life on the lineTo me, this what makes a fireman...

First Kiss 'It was those times when I was youngThat everything seems nice and beautifulAs trees are greener and flowers so brightThat the beauty of surroundings so rightAnd play was the only thing in mind So it was that one pleasant afternoonWhen mom took me and my brother outsideTo play, so she can speak to our lady neighborWho happens also to have a young daughterWhose age precisely is the same as I am We enjoyed our plays and have so much funThat it's time to play the game of hide and seekThe girl and I hid inside a big mattressThat leans beside the concrete wall of the houseAnd we sat there waiting for what may come I still do not know what really happenedFor we just kissed and then laughed quietlyAnd then we kissed again, a few more timesUntil we are caught by my older brotherWho I know was taken by surprise I followed him around and pleaded with himI will do anything just not to tell our momBut it was to no avail as he told them soBut to our surprise they did not get angryAnd we just continue with our normal play It was a kiss I will always rememberClearer than any nostalgia I have knownThough it may be plain, sweet and innocentIt was my first real kiss when I was fiveBack in the year nineteen sixty five.'

Hindi ininda ang sinapit na kahihiyanAt umatake na nman kinagabihanMatikas talaga ang aking kaibiganKaya't isinama na ang kanyang nanay Ito ay hindi kathang isip lamangKundi nangyari talagang tunayIsang love story ng aming kabataanNa mahirap talagang malimutan.' Jesus Diaz Llorico

June 2013 The heat is mild this month of JuneAs I rest in shade near my homeWhile in silence, I heard a tuneOf a bird's song, this time of noon... To me how sweet this lovely sceneA nature's grace, to most unseenMy feathered friends, true joy they bringOn this sunny, blithe month of spring They seek and peck, and flap their wingsIn quick glances, they eat and singThey flew above, then play aroundAnd hum their happy, chirping sound It seems they knew, that I was thereAs they flew near, for me to hearI stood and gazed and hold my groundAnd feel the beauty that abound I think they call, each other's nameMaybe something about their gamesPerhaps the food and other choresOr their love mates, they can't ignore But their life, was suddenly rouseBy a noise from a nearby houseThey flew away, then out of sightLeft me enthralled, such a delight... Alone again, and left behindWhat had happened was kept in mindAs to what I felt, what I sawIn my writings, I have to show To my beauty, worth lavish praiseWhom I love in so many waysThis poem about the birds that flewWill be offered, again to you!

Moon The moon grasped my heart tonight!Like the glow of a burning lampIt gleams in a mantle of delightBeneath the clouds of misty damp Like a wandering eye that glancesTo every nook and corner streetsA silent witness to life's romancesAnd all affairs most pure and sweet My deep feelings drifted in the airTo the realm of the moon's domainWhere it's splendor of light will scatterTo her place where it will remain On this night under the fainted starsTo the reddish moon that looks divineIn sober reflections I humbly striveThat my muse conveys a modest sign As my heart refuses to rest tonightThe moon exalts a greater mysteryMy continued toil of a workers plightShe eases the pain of melancholy...

Ode To Beauty One cherished look, no words inferred!Thy beauty of such profound blissLike soaring bird that must be heardThat longed to leave a life long kiss!My happy eyes with utmost gleeAs I secretly seek on thee Thy hair so silky, craved so muchEndless artistry in thy smileA face most sweet, so fair to touchThe pose that swell! a grandiose styleMy lucky eyes have feast on theeAs I constantly want to see Though it seems, thou art like waterWhile I did grow immersed in fire!Love ensures it does not matterSo long as both have famed desireMy dreamy eyes have flown so freeAs I certainly want to flee Destined to be, a world apartBut in the secrets of the nightThe thoughts of love do not departIn minds and hearts both seems are rightMy starry eyes...to heaven beFore'er my heart will dwell on thee!

Old Woman My heart is filled with strain and sympathyThis picture that I never want to seeA loose feeling borne out of miseryWhen I looked on someone as frail as she As she calmly gazed the camera lensBeside the grass of the surrounding woodsA somber scene in a secluded denseFor an old woman of mere livelihood A gloomy eyes with wrinkled hand and faceWith a shred of cloth tied on her foreheadHanging gray hair in brow that interlaceWearing old garments cast in flowered beads While she gently holds a sickle in handShe slightly stooped on the weight of her backShe holds firmly with a string as she standThe bundle of sticks behind like a pack As I contemplate and looked more closelyIn her eyes, I saw, a suffering heartThis woman who was deprived of plentyTo some, it's like life being torn apart It's not the load on her back that I seeBut a life of pain and adversityThe real truth that it can only beA burden of poverty she carry As to our life's daily and constant strifeTo this old woman born of tragedyAnd who have no power to enjoy lifeTo my God I ask why this mystery?

One Cold Night 'The cold full moon is out tonightIn this harsh winter away from homeAs fainted stars hung in dreary sightWith all but gloom as he stood alone The eerie silence of the windsThat gently blew the resting leavesAs it tears through his breath and skinIn grim stillness and chilly breeze Though no longer in prime of lifeHis body has gradually declineAs tiredness is felt from torn and strifeAfter years of toil down the line His thoughts carried him to the pastOf lifelong secrets and early loveFond memories that will never lastThat only the heavens knew above As the rays of moonlight calmly gleamsThere is one that blesses his soulA name spread along the moonbeamsWho has quietly made him whole For years that they have been apartHis hopes and dreams in silence sealedShe remains the warmth of his heartIn teary times when thoughts are veiled As the evening falls in memoryThe moon now hidden from the cloudsAs he walks away and silentlyWith the dark cold landscape left behind.'
