CDXLI ~> Rosales Reprise*

(Opus441 ~> Rosales Reprise)

(1)
{CXIX | Rosales Propensities}
Disdain for contrived ambiguity

Even in the domain of make believe
Lends strength to gain fleeting sobriety
Suffice disguise all intents to deceive
Might galvanize latent instincts to grieve:
Loquacious superfluity in vain
Contain the noxious stench of dormant sin!

(2)
In cavalcade of ill-begotten schemes

Bid overcome terrain of vast unknown
Challenge the wits and flirt with all extremes
The consequence with nonchalance disown
Sans second thoughts consign to oblivion:
With words to drown when reason fails to probe
Wherefore unsure what you are anxious of!

(3)

{CLXIV | Rosales Ambiguities}
As it fell upon one obscure siesta

After a taxing table tennis match
Sweating stench with hints of turgid fiesta
Seduced by my propensity to watch
The napping damsel on my couch to catch:
One stolen kiss could last the lifelong while
Save that from courage cast ere long beguile!

(4)
Ergo the prized kiss was never taken

Constrained by protocols of chivalry
Nor pride nor honor, nor dreams were broken
Yet surplus store of poignant memory
Regales to chills my vibrant reverie:
For home-run fling, timing means everything
Else your best swing shall more frustrations bring!

(5)
{CLXV | Rosales Subtleties}
With countless ways, fresh memories deride,

To tease the blushes of ingenious shame,
Suppress caprice new avenues provide
Furbish the furnace of relentless flame,
Ravish sweet bliss upon her maiden frame:
Safe in the limbo of what might have been,
Not savored, nor embellished, swept unseen!

(6)
Soaring the heights of lofty fantasy,

Else dwell malignant in remorse obscure
Daring to treasure wanton legacy
From dark abyss by trickery procure 
Legerdemain feigns secrecy secure:
The wrath born of deceptive certainties
Wreaks havoc with disruptive subtleties!

(7)
{CLXIX | Rosales Verities}
Ever to wonder, yet never to know

Surely too late for us both to find out
Whether the flirting was simply for show;
Baiting was rampant without room to doubt
Why flirting about made endearment flout:
Her plisky ways were subtly attractive,
Shy by one lie of sweetly addictive!

(8)
Not by chivalry nor by protocol,

Our flirting ways seduced to abdicate
Tremors echoing through the inner soul
Searching for trespasses to vindicate,
Cling strong defiant, live, reverberate:
Hopelessly shackled not with chastity,
Just monogamy chastened verity!

Nostalgic Remembrance

Mahidlawong Paghandom* (CXXXV) ~> Nostalgic Remembrance* (Refrain): Di ko hikalimtan, Atong kagahapon Sa paningkamot bug-os nag antos Atong gui-ampingan, Pagandoy’ng matuman Bisan ug damgo lang ang madangtan. Tra la la la la la la, etc. (1) Kahapdus handomon ang kagahapon Ta’ng lundag sa pagandoy’ng nawagtang Tubod sa kalimot ang mga luha Nga naghugas ning kalag kong samaran. [Repeat Refrain]  (2) Sugyot sa kahidlaw nga dalikyaton Kanhing gitagbo-an tang dalan Dili mahimong mausab langkaton Ligdong pasalig tang gi-usikan. [Repeat Refrain] (3) Tugob sa pagla-om king handurawan Nga magdasig sa damgong gui-hidlaw Uhaw sa pag-amuma nga makapukaw Sa mithing banag-banag nga tuman. [Repeat Refrain]  (4) Hilaw ki’ng baraha sa kapalaran Ug walay tupong ang kapintas Walay bili’ng ilang ti-aw-ti-awan Hingpit nga pakig-bisog dili mokupas. [Repeat Refrain] ==|== *I take credit for both title locutions as my original idea for proper Bisaya-English ...

CCXCIV ~> Deceptive Certainties* (1) When people ask, “what can I do for you?” You might ask back, “what is in it for me?” Neither is virtue poignant to pursue Nor non-pursuant destined to be free, Designed from protocols of gallantry: ’Tis futile to keep the moral high ground, Where emulators never near there found! (2) “Charity begins at home,” you are told; Meaning, you practice decency at home; Scheming no handouts for your own household, Thinking of others wherever you roam, Ensure your soul not be consumed by gloom: Most things you gain from trying not to cry Bring much less pain ere all the tears run dry! (3) Each time you stumble, get up with a shrug; Calibrate your bearings, and journey on. Neither dismiss a consolation hug Nor yet obsess with the hidden weapon That might cast you off into oblivion: Deceptive certainties reverberate With innate penchant to eviscerate! ==<>==<|>==<>== *Hook image ( Nymphs...
