Those who help themselves to what there is most of on the table, if not restrained they will do too much.

Waking Up Early This Morning

i do not switch on
the table light
as i leave your rested body
on the marital bed
i go to the other side
of the structure
wandering what to do next
with all these
mess.

thinking and thinking
what if
i do not come back anymore
what if there are no more
mornings for me
what if
i lose this sense of balance
and collapse
without you
knowing what i really feel

damn, damn, damn
rivers restrained

repaint the masks and leave.

A Table For Two!

Flash of dream overcome me
as I took slumber one night
I saw a romantic setting
lies a set of table for two


A bouquet of red roses
decorate at the center
where a bottle of red wine
completes the table for two


I saw you entered the haven
dressed in rainbow colored suit
your face so pretty with a smile
as we kissed at the table for two


Mesmerized by your countenance
I was filled with romantic stance
as we danced to the tune of love
such so divine at the table for two


Awaken at height of joy
I am filled with inspiration
as today it becomes a reality
a table for two on Valentines day

An Ode for David

Inspiration
From a lopsided table?
Words written down
Told as a fable
Strange request you have
My dear friend
Inspiration I will find
This I do intend

Wooden Table
Possess my tongue
Wintered table
Cry from my lungs
Pen striking paper
You shall be my muse
May the bleeding ink
Cry of your blues

Splintered skin
In a corner rest forgotten
Winding legs
You stand wild as cotton
Pen stroke slide
Across your lofty floor
Three legs you stand
When you should have four

Awkward table
You have no friend
Ancient table
You've reached your bitterend
Should my pen learn sea legs
I'd love you once more
But, on three legs you stand
When you should have four

My Mom Sets the Table

Night after night my mom sets the table
full of joy she passes her hand over the green fleat
like dishes she lays her chips down
they her finest china carefully stacked
her drink is the insurance bet
night after night 21 meals are servered

6 people share the meal with her
we her family eat alone
yet night after night my mom sets the table
the table of broken dreams and poisoned meals
night after night she countinues to eat
untill is consumed

Night after night my mom sets the table
night after night we her family shallow the bitter meal she makes

Night after night my mom sets the table

Red Rose and Chardonnay

A dinner with chardonnay
Plates of love whilst piano play
A love song of long ago.
She sat by the table
A hands folded like napkin in array
And red roses on the table
Of two love birds
Today are their anniversary.
She excused herself
As the waiter arranged the table.
Today is their day
But her lover has another.
She waited for an hour
For he promised to surrender
The love he has for her.
She begged him not to part
But…he’s not here.
Nor his shadow emerged
Red rose and chardonnay
are now abandoned- by the table.
She exits in the moonless sky.

Food On My Table

Come and see the food on my table,
For it is prepared for you and me;
And, i am waiting for you in the room of my love.

Life is full of surprises and i want to show you my love,
And here comes the sun of the morning to touch your heart;
For, it is right for you to be beside me at this table.

The food on my table,
As soon as you receive my letter means that i love you;
For life is full of surprises and i want your love,
So come and let us share this food on my table.

The Table of Hope

Inspired by JOEY VELASCO'S painting, HAPAG NG PAG-ASA
(The Table Of Hope)

Thank you, Lord for this wonderful show
Of happy faces, sincere and true
Without asking why who we are, what we wear
Without doubts, without fear, without a tear

Here we are in your table, your children in the street
Celebrating your birthday in the simplest way
In your table of hope, sharing your food
Where your presence is what we're after

Christmas miracle do happen,
Because you wanted it to be
You choose us, the weak, the poor and the lame
To share with you, to be with you
In the table of hope..in the table of hope..

Thank you, Jesus, for giving us hope
Thank you, Jesus, for Christmas

Note: thank you for reading.You can search
and type Joey Velasco in the Google website & You Tube
and you will be led to his great paintings

Meeting You At The Basement Of A Friend's House

we are stranded
unnecessarily on this party

among friends the glasses
of red wine clink
for some longer hours of talk

hi and hello exchanged
places among them

but between us there is something
else and moves in
mysteriours ways

a wink, an understanding of something
else that we easily understand

even without the signal of a hand
our glances moving towards
the dark corner of the basement

we meet there in so much
haste and silence
we kiss, we rub our bodies, we
entwine our hands and hearts
without shame

we explode. we stop somehow
on a certain edge
where we are helpless and
guileless

we look at each other still
missing the glow of our eyes
we touch again, we kiss again

there are crumples and creases
we breathe this restlessness
we arrange the parts of our bodies
on a restrained mode

and step out this door away
from the basement to join the rest
of the clinks and talks and laughter

we assure ourselves: nothing happened
we pretend, we are intact. we believe that none
of all these are true and then

we thank ourselves
for a another day
away from us, away from them,
away from this restrained world

unleash me again, i tell myself, goodbye
