----Until this time, I thank God for giving this gift of poetry... Inspired by one of the many Biblical Verses I love: 1 Peter 4:10 ===As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God... Thank You, Father God.. =')
RAINDROPS OF IMMORTALITY
Smiles were stolen from me long time ago
Days gone gray as storms rush to play: my...
They drain. Fervently, I called to the Heavens
but it seems no one there. No one there!
I lullaby with the whine of gushing winds,
hoping they are kind enough to blow my notes.
Notes carrying cries when am still a child
as 'til this day, I yearn for father's love...
I face every facets of life in color white,
some brushed my lips with grins and laughter,
some stitched the screams of November
yet passed they left footprints to remember.
There in the azure ambiance, love's dare~
I bit the chance but sadly I fell distant,
my sweet red heart weep from bitter thrusts.
Easing emptiness within, I refuse to be a victim.
I prayed, pleading always for a Saviour kiss
just maybe through it, I might die in peace.
(Is death the better surrendering deliverance?
Or just an acrid escape for suicidal goodbyes?)
I chose God for I prefer to love and live
into poetry I began rhyming a letting go
the quill of a poetess, I bravely try:
verses and lyrics my healing balm...
Tossed flowers from the changing seasons
and so the smells of pancakes and cafe
flirt slatternly to my imagination
bursting from me a ballad or a sonnet.
But oh! Poetic finesse is a gold in a mine
hence, I dig, dive to curves and loops
presenting always my jolly descent views...
Others said images I present confuse,
they don't know, they are the nightmares
creeping, shaking my lethargic muse.
Written free, I asked you to read carefully~
I send messages of love, beauty and maladies...
My pen scribbles mom ore unchained melodies
for my heart slowly erects from slumber.
It somersaults upon the breaking swell of sunrise
in this tediously solitary realm of the world.
The horrible webs of yesterday's frustrations
I untangled from life's hullabaloos...
Shattered dreams into my ink, I shall reform
unencompassable inspirations, I want to rouse.
Grace from God refilled, it empowered my life
surging heartbeats pushed me to clamor for change.
I stand to blossom amidst imprisoning trials
yet never forgetting my humble ground.
Coupled with the will to survive all strifes
let my living be mirrored to pages
and when breath of life is cut from me
let my pen be raindrops of immortality.
