Ulysses Cabinatan Poems

If earthly power can bring happiness
I saw kings
who are mad
And queens who are sad.
...

I will never sing those songs again,
Songs of sadness and melancholy.
You’ll never hear me sing again,
Songs of despair, unrequited love, and broken dreams.

Life is not Facebook that can accommodate 5000 friends
Life is not Google that can search sites to questions you are seeking with
Life is more than your notebook, you PC or the internet
Life is not the phone, the tablet or any modern gadget

incantations
images of
false gods
passions, imaginations,
...

Slow me down,
when my mouth needs to utter words,
that can break a heart
Slow me down,
...

Heaven,
A world of wonders
Golden stairs
Pearly gates
...

Isolation,
is my best companion,
when I am down
and want to be on my own
...

N is for Net,

The thiNg that remaiNs after all the deductioNs
...

Vanilla
Peppermint
Menthol
Rose

Do all that you can to please God.

Rely not on your own understanding and strength, but on God.
