SONNET NO. 159: " TILL THEN,"
FEB. 3, 2013, BY LOLO BOMBOY
-
I could not sleep thinking of you last night
And wondering when you'll ever come back
Yet there's no doubt they will all see you're right
You have been a victim of such bad luck
-
I can vouch that you are such a good man
You don't deserve what they may have dealt you
They plotted well enough to put you down
It's unjust whatever they have done though
-
I pray you hold your head high through all this
Do all you can to save your dignity
In time you will be blessed with the Lord's grace
So without guilt you can face each new day
-
I pray I'll be around to see you then
When you face the world a man born again

SONNET NO. 160: " I CAN ONLY DO THE BASICS," BY LOLO BOMBOY, FEB. 6, 2013

SONNET NO. 160: " I CAN DO ONLY THE BASICS,"
FEB. 6, 2013,BY LOLO BOMBOY
-
What do I really need to write a poem
Cause I do not have the talent for it
I instead make use of the poetic form
So I could write what I now call sonnets
-
It is the same when it comes to triolets
Like sonnets they have a certain structure
I just write words into the structure set
That is the way I complete the picture
-
Of course, I need to have the basic tools
Like most, I know how to write sentences
And phrases too and use the rhyming rules
And I write sans most poetic nuances
-
But I do count syllables in each line
They can be ten or eight and that's just fine

Sonnet No. 58: "My Poems," Oct. 9, 2012, by lolo bomboy

Sonnet No. 58: "My Poems," Oct. 9, 2012, by lolo bomboy

I am not a poet but i write anyway
I am not a philosopher at all
I have no words of wisdom that i could say
From my mind, no sweet phrases can be culled

But like i just said i write anyway
And the words i write  are so very true
There might be someone i could make happy
And some poems maybe written to do so

If by chance i could reach someone that way
Then my effort would have been rewarded
For though my poems maybe less than worthy
My best shows in the way they are worded

For all that matters is my intention
Kindhearted souls might lend it attention

SONNET NO. 54: "PATIENCE", Oct. 4, 2012, by lolo bomboy

SONNET NO. 54: " PATIENCE," OCT. 4, 2012, BY LOLO BOMBOY

We can do nothing but wait for our turn
The minutes  go by and we just sit still
We see the screen flash, time is a concern
Hoping to make it is a test of will

And more people come, they sit around us
Are there enough seats for everyone there
We wish to know soon, maybe in a rush
As fear creeps in, we begin to wonder

I look for some reason to ease my pain
Time might fly faster that way, so i hope
As i reflect, I hear them call my name
Now i can sit back and rest in my nook

Patience is all we really need for it
Makes waiting bearable a little bit

"Kay Layo Mo na Sinta", June 19, 2012

"kayo layo mo na Sinta" na tinagalog ni lolo bomboy, June 19, 2012


kay layo mo na sinta sa piling ko,
may lungkot na ngayon sa puso ko,
di na kita man lang makita,
di ko alam kung nasaan ka,
puso ko'y naulila...
-
ikaw lang ang dahilan ng buhay ko,
mahalin ka ay laging dalangin ko,
sa piling mo'y aking nakita,
ang aking ikaliligaya,
pagibig at pagsinta...

yan ang istorya  natin sinta
na walang  kamukha,
na nagturo sa atin ng mabuti
at masama,
buhay ko't pag-asang tunay,
ay nasa iyong mga kamay,
at ngayong sa'yo'y nawalay,
hindi na ko mabubuhay...

"Magsinta", June 16, 2012

"Magsinta," (kantang hango sa kanta ni MANZANERO CANCHE, ARMANDO)
 sa tagalog, June 16, 2012, letra ni lolo bomboy
-
tayo'y novios,
narito't damhin mo totoo'ng 
pagmamahal ko,
kaya tayo'y
may sumpaang magmahalan
hanggang dulo,
may suyu-an, may awitan
bilang novios, may kantyawan,
di na bale na kung minsa'y
tayo mismo'y magpipikunan.
-
tayo'y novios
lagi tayong umaasang liligaya
umaasang
habang buhay na tayong magsasama,
magkaulayaw, para tayong
magkaybigang walang malay,
tandaan lagi tayong
magbibigyan,
wag nating ka li li mu tang
tayo'y novios
laging novios
magkaibigan..

"Huwag Mag-alala sa Maling Nakita", June 19, 2012

"Huwag mag-alala sa maling nakita", June 19, 2012, ni lolo bomboy

huwag kang mag-alala Makatang Ligaw,
huwag matakot sa maling napakalinaw,
di naman kita talagang hushusgahan,
sa mga kamalian lang na katulad niyan.

karamihan nama' y nagkakamali,
sa pagsasalita o sa salitang napili,
mahalaga'y malinis ang ating budhi,
di tayo nakaapi sa ating mga kalahi

kahit mali pa ang ating naisusulat.
hindi naman ito pinupunang dapat,
pagnatakot sa ating pagkakamali
baka hindi na tayo magsulat muli...

kung sa ating diwa at ating gawa,
malinis naman ang ating paniniwala,
kunting kamalian na ating napansin,
ibaling na lang sa iba ang paningin..

kung dito ay may mali kang makita,
ikaw na ang bahalang magpasensya,
ang buhay ay ganyang lang talaga,
magpatawad ay ang mas mahalaga...
