Are You Up For The Challenge?

On Dec. 10, 2005, Pinoypoets will be holding its grand members night at Penguin Bar, Malate.

pp.d@res.u, will bring together members and friends in an evening of poetry, music and fun activities. There will be musical performances by Sruvaleh, Ria Bautista of Paramita, Babes Alejo, Ergband, Jacie and Honey and other surprise numbers. Some of the members will also perform poems from their poetry CD, Ora Poetika. Exciting and daring challenges that will bring out the funny sides of these poets will also be provided to entertain members and guests.

The activity will also be highlighted by the launch of their official website, www.pinoypoets.com which was conceptualized by a team of experts from PODD, a Cebu based web designing and Development Company, headed by Christine Rohm and EO Cedeno, who incidentally are members of the group.

The event intends to raise funds for the production of the group's second poetry chapbook, Obverse Volume II (O2), scheduled for release in early 2006 and other forthcoming activities.

Everyone is encouraged to bring with them poems, either their own composition or just personal favorites for an open mic reading. Event starts at 8:00PM. The P80.00 entrance is inclusive of 1 bottle of beer.

FROM MY MAILBOX: Love Means...

(a girl and guy were speeding over 100 mph on a motorcycle)

Girl: Slow down. Im scared.

Guy: No this is fun.

Girl: No its not. Please, its too scary!

Guy: Then tell me you love me.

Girl: Fine, I love you. Slow down!

Guy: Now give me a BIG hug. (Girl hugs him)

Guy: Can you take my helmet off and put it on? Its bugging me.

In the paper the next day: A motorcycle had crashed into a building because of brake failure. Two people were on the motorcycle, but only one survived.

The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realized that his brakes broke, but he didn't want to let the girl know. Instead, he had her say she loved him, felt her hug one last time, then had her wear his helmet so she would live even though it meant he would die.

Not a thing

There is not a thing
I would not do,
if that thing pleases you.

It's not because I'm desperate,
it's not because I'm weak,
repaying all your kindness
is the only thing I seek.

You've given me so much
without a moment's hesitation
bewildering me with all your
selfless consideration.

So, if why I do what I do
ever comes to mind
it's because you're always there
when I am in a bind.

In your absence

dreams and desires are all I have.
I hold your hands, I kiss your lips,
I hug you so close to me.
Could I ask for more?
I see us tripping on a rainbow
while birds sing and fly
in the brilliance of the day.
I see us dancing in the sky
while the moon and the stars watch us
perform our way.
Could I dream for more?
I could hold you endlessly,
or we could dance forever.
Still, my heart will keep on longing,
because my dreams and desires
are beautiful paintings
drawn by my lonely shadow.

Malkavian

Congratulations! You are incurably insane! Clan quote: 'Laugh if you like. Doesn't matter. Assume that you're so much smarter than the poor, broken lunatic. Doesn't matter. But think about this: you're a dead thing, same as me. You died and were reborn...as this. What makes you and me different? Simple, I REMEMBER what I saw when i was full and truly dead. You'd be mad, too'.

Wish Upon a Falling Star

(for my Baby)

When I wish upon a falling star
I wish to be where you are,

lying there next to you,
praying that your love is true.

For so long I've waited for the night
where you'd hold me close and hold me tight.

I close my eyes and I can see
you're my real, true destiny.
