Grace

Plan and aspiration,
may unyield.
What we become,
part of our effort
and part of grace.

Flames

How do you pick up the riddles of life,
the reason for every step, 
and the purpose of every breath. 

When in all, you realize,
that everything is,
like flames and shadows,
of no root and of no defined tomorrow,
dancing to the tune of the mundane,
yet with no reason of it own,
dust and shadows, good and ugly,
will all fade away. 

But may we have the heart,
to appreciate the opportunity to us given,
to thread even once more, the path of life.

Bringing together, every appropriation of the past,
forgetting the losses;
holding on to lessons from mistakes,
and aiming for the best ahead.

And in all, not forgetful,
that the Potter is worthy of cognition.

Epitaph

The world is vast

No one can journey it all

No eyes will see all its being

Drawing breath at different locations

But will all meet

At  the belly of death?

Something we’ll all share.

Time and Pain

In the garden of bees,
there I lie comfortably,
with a sofa beneath my heart,
and I learn the agonies of pain,
which filled my soul like a baby.

I cried and yelled,
daybreak long,
I suffered to learn,
to learn the riddles of time,
good things in wrong time.

And all these I learn,
at the garden of pain,
Time, time, time,
let me control you,
to work for me.

Better Gift

Of all the gift to human,  conscience is the epitome
when it is clear, it will guide unto a right path
when brittled, the path becomes questionable
When it is alive, many will benefit
when it died, the loss abound.

Nostalgia

On a sofa,
at the edge of the world,
thoughts manouvered,
within the cyberspace encapsulate

From the depth of my being,
the strength of my will,
the power behind every action,
all forged within

There is more to these forces of nature,
from within and without,
suspended like the balances of a scale,
who can unravel?

Poor me,
forgetful that the world as a gyroscope,
has spun into action,
by the energy supreme

Tap! Tap!! Tap!!!
from this wilderness of the unknown,
from this unending rigmarole,
home away from home.

Opposite

When in love, it's sweet as life itself,
but hatred is as horrible as proposed hell.
Just like light and darkness, all equal but at each end of the 
rope.
When love is gone, hatred thrives.
I was once in love, it's the other end preferred, 
May it happen again.

Terror

My birth came,
Among the lion’s club,
I was trained to devour,
By the ectasy of nature.

Then I became a vampire,
All in the name of act,
And my days fill with grieve,
Because I was swallowed by hatred.

I could not let go of preys,
Victims overwhelmed at my sight,
Then I became too cruel,
And a masterplan of mischievous.

Flesh became wood,
Bones to rods,
And breath like vapour,
Could I be the antichrist?.

 I lead to destroy nations,
And I gathered my demons,
All to solitude,
To eradicate the wrath upon me.

Who am i?
And God kept quiet,
Man of mortal flesh,
Born of woman.

Made known by cruel,
And my soul lingered to destroy,
What will happen to my carcass?
When I fell ! .

What will be of my future?
Oh” I better disappear,
And be seen no more,
In the page of the noble.

Essence

At the table of wisdom
Knowledge will seek audience 
Vassals rolls out of creek
Paying homage to understanding 
Alas, unforeseen doom lurking 
Doom, even for the enlightened 
Patience the cure
Patience lead the realm
The conclave of the wise

Weep Not

The sky is not cloudy
Yet the land is wet
And there was no rain!!!

Your heart is troubled
Tears rolling out
The floor will grace the downpour!!!
