Marvin Brato Sr Poems

Don't judge me outright,
For I am not like a book.
I may not show wit...
Like the great scholars.
...

Amidst the darkness,

a candlestick rest...
...

Life is difficult

When it's idle
...

Love maybe like water works

where emotion flows like spring
...

Time exits in cycle
day in, day out
how you spend
count most!
...

HIV infection is quite inevitable
For a high risk individual capable
Of practicing an unsafe vice or act
That would initiate the HIV attack
...

Black things are mistakes,
that haunts our innate conscience.
Be it bad or worse,
it becomes a mark to hold.
...

The daffodils dance
As the chilly wind speeds up,
Soothing all the lonesome hearts
In this yuletide season...
...

It is quite meaningless
to stay in the darkness
amidst clear brightness
as if I lay inside the husk
...
