POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My education and work experiences revolved around mathematical figures and computations. Never in my life did I imagine that I could write beautiful poetry; one that comes from the heart. "The Fire Within" is my first published book.

LOVER (acrostic-tanka)
Lord give me a girl
Only with beauty and brain
Virgin if you may
Envy of one's fantasy
Revered by many lost souls

MONEY (acrostic-tanka)
Men see your value
Only to find out your worth
Nothing more than gold
Every penny earned today
You think won't matter in Hell
Only to find out your worth
Nothing more than gold
Every penny earned today
You think won't matter in Hell

SANDY (acrostic-tanka)
She came out raging
Across the Atlantic Seaboard
Non-stop rain she brought
Deluge caused devastation
You lost your prized possession

Non-stop rain she brought
Deluge caused devastation

FAITH (acrostic-tanka)
Festive cold season
Away in a distant land
Inscribed in your heart
Tomorrow brings joy and peace
Hearken to the angels sing
Away in a distant land
Inscribed in your heart
Tomorrow brings joy and peace
Hearken to the angels sing

TRUST (acrostic-tanka)
Take me in your arms
Risk your life without question
Unfolds through my eyes
Secret you kept for yourself
Told to no one but myself
Risk your life without question
Unfolds through my eyes
Secret you kept for yourself
Told to no one but myself

White Beach (in haiku)
white sandy beaches
and beautiful coral reefs
pleasing to your eyes
playful sounding waves
glisten to the golden rays
while kissing your shores
memories were made
forever in a lifetime
carved in hearts of gold
in Poctoy it lies
always pretty as ever
waiting just for you
and beautiful coral reefs
pleasing to your eyes
playful sounding waves
glisten to the golden rays
while kissing your shores
memories were made
forever in a lifetime
carved in hearts of gold
in Poctoy it lies
always pretty as ever
waiting just for you

Collection of Tanka Poems (Vol. I)
This poem was inspired by the insight of our fellow poet, Mr. Bruce Burkard. It was originally in haiku form.
Autumn in the Capitol
bursting of colors
along Washington parkway
soothing to my soul
wondering what would it be
if there are no living trees
the call of the wild
along the Potomac river
music to my ears
if its old banks overflowed
my world would be sad and doomed
beauty of nature
dancing with the passing wind
whispering good-bye
her whispers become louder ...

Global Warming: Real or Myth
Extreme weather has become the new normal
But for a layman's point of view, it's paranormal
All across the land we suffer from Poseidon's wrath
Yet we ignore his warnings, and act like a spoiled brat
Make no mistake about global warming--
Science has given us unequivocal warning
It's for real--and happening faster than ever
Work on solutions; otherwise, it's now or never
The deep blue seas are beginning to rise
from the polar regions due to melting ice;
caused by...

Women: are they in Binders?
Gentle is the touch of a woman's hand,
as she glides expertly in the abyss of perpetual darkness
emerging from the sea of tumultuous clouds,
and spraying the rows of thirsty palms
along the blazing desert of inferno
with a deep bass and chattered sound, stuttering...
like an old sewing machine, stitching to the ground.
If the hand that pulls a trigger and kills without empathy
belongs to a Woman,
does it make any...

The Sage and a Fool: 14 Virgins
One day I happened to hear
on a crowded bus from work,
"Why are you all wrapped-up,
it's fucking warm, can't you see?"
asked the smart-ass college dude.
"Why do you care, replied the old man.
Don't you see you are going to die with me?
You maybe laughing at me now,
but you will envy me later
when you see me fucking fourteen virgins."
Don't lecture and mock the sage
you might end up like a fool...
Read his thoughts instead,
and follow the path of his inner soul;
you could learn a thing or two, ...

Fall in DC (in haiku)
bursting of colors
along washington parkway
soothing to my soul
the call of the wild
along potomac river
music to my ears
beauty of nature
dancing with the passing wind
whispering good-bye
if now we don't care
future generations die
robbed of nature's best
we owe to our youth
what our forefathers had left
conserve and protect
join me in my plea
send e-mails to capitol
preserve nature's wealth
