a drop of work

work loads sometimes drop like rain

sometimes in drizzle, giving you time to think

giving you an extra minute to check

and a few seconds to re-evaluate

a fun time in the office

a little chat with your colleagues

a time to know whats going on

when the work load comes in drizzle

but sometimes the sun isn't always shining

and the work loads drop like storm

they come from every direction

making you dizzy and disoriented

stuck to your table 

can't spare a minute to chat

reports, graphs and letters 

all asking for your attention ASAP.

 

worry not my friend, the storm will pass

understand every reports, graphs and letters

don't let them come back to your table

because of a wrong punctuation mark

don't let the work load bring you down

work with enthusiasm and a smile

work will always be here to stay

just get your reward on payday

a line and a rhyme

a few years passed 

and i am still obsessed

in writing a line

that sometimes rhyme 

  

look for consorts

for the ending words

for the line to rhyme

and be a charm

sometimes they avoid me

and hide from me

they stay hidden 

until the line is forgotten 

oh! what a sorrow

if a word becomes a widow

   you cant find a partner

alone in the line forever

just write and write

until the words sound alike

let them be partners

and give them happiness

I have an idea...

sometimes ideas come pouring in

in time and places your not expecting

not a paper and pen in sight

your hand is full you couldn't write

a beautiful idea that is worth sharing

a great story line that needs writing

the trouble is you couldn't remember them all 

if a pen and paper is available

but once you have them again in your mind

another distraction is at hand

a question,  a call, or a friend

come barging in uninvited

oh! what a frustration

when an idea is in conception

the problem is you couldn't write

all the pen and paper in the world is out of sight

Stupidity

it's the one time in your life

when you said something that isn't right

when you did something wrong

that you would probably regret all your life...

sneaky and fatal

it attacks unexpectedly

it ruins everything you built

with just one stupid mistake...

it wont be easy 

but you have to raise your guard

always be alert 

and don't let stupidity ruin your life...

but if stupidity already got you

then you have to start all over again

restart, rebuild and  redo everything

until stupidity knock you all over again...

Rhoderic Domingo

Mistakes...

Mistakes are inevitable

they come to your life everyday

sometimes once in awhile 

but sometimes all at once in a ton...

mistakes sometimes teach us lessons

sometimes they serve as a reminder

but most of the time they come

when your stupidity is at most high...

mistakes sometimes could be corrected

but most of the times they could be avoided

they may cause a great deal of trouble

but you can always try to make things better...

do not make decisions if you're angry or very happy

always think before you speak

accept if you did something wrong 

and say sorry if you cause someone a trouble...

Old Songs...

old songs make you remember

old feelings that's been forgotten

often times a happy memory  

but sometimes there's a feeling of guilt and pain

old songs bring back memories

a memory of you and me

of a happy smile and laughter 

but sometimes of tears and pain

old songs make me sing along

and cherish the memories we created with the song 

sometimes they teach me a lesson

but most of the times its a connection of you and me

old song makes me remember

a lost friendship as time moves on

a forgotten guilt sometimes come in 

but most of the time its a testimony that i miss you so...

Monday morning...

monday morning sometimes bring the blues

a lonely feeling that stare at you

sometimes it last forever, sometimes just a second

but mostly depends on how you let it through...

a shower of negative emotions

a dash of boredom and despair 

a pinch of angry feeling

and you will have the bluest of the blue...

make it grow and it would ruin your day

collect all negative feelings and dump it in

you will feel a heavy burden

that would drown you with despair ...

monday morning sometimes bring the blues

accept it, smile a bit, that would help a lot

let the warmth of love ease your feelings

and let monday morning bring you peace instead...

A New Years Resolution

every year i made me a list 

of the things i will do 

and the things i will change

with a promise to fulfill it...

the list is not too long 

but not soo short

its mostly a count

from one to ten...

it would sometimes start 

with a negative feeling

and ussually ends up

with a positive note...

every start of the year i do this

but everytime it ends

i never look back  to see

did i accomplish a thing?...

im done with my list 

i know you have one too

you may have not written it

 a mental note would do...

look back a year ago

did you do the same

is the list the same?

oh! what a shame...

Rhoderic Domingo

Another year gone and wasted,
yet another year is at hand
another piece of history
is about to come end...
 
Its fun to look back and retell the tales,
of pain, and tears that's too much to handle
but its amazing i made it through
and collected awards as i make it through...

 Another year is ready to unfold
do it again and relive the fight
stand up proud and collect my prize
and retell the tales of an epic fight...

I cried and sweat blood along the way
 but i fulfilled my dreams and is ready to begin
to make another tale that i could share
and be an inspiration to a dying dream...  

after all the pain, you need to stand up 

march toward tomorrow and reclaim your prize
it isn't easy but it would help you a lot
if you open your mind and be ready to the fight...
