FEELINGS

FEELINGS


Feelings,
Masters of my destiny
Lords of my life
Strength of my dreams
Instigators of my actions

Burning fire you are 
Consuming my whole 
Being:
My heart
My mind 
My soul
My spirit,  
As you relentlessly
Demand: 
To be conceived
To be formulated 
To be understood
To be expressed!

A Herculean task it is,
I swear, 
Such an enterprise,
For how one could ever
Constrain, you, the unconstrained 
And mold you into:
Phonemes
Syllables
Words
Phrases
Sentences 
And still retain 
Your explosive 
Dynamism?
 
No language exists,
So vast
So deep
So accurate
So supple 
As to pay justice,
To your intensity
To your desire
To your beauty
To your love!

Thus, having no
Alternative, 
I turn to the only language
There is,
The one that the 
Cosmos speaks,
And
The universe alone
Comprehends:
The language of 
Harmony,
That we humans 
POETRY name
BUT 
Even then 
To describe you
I AM UNABLE!

Living




                               There is some pain involved
                                      But the experience
                                           Is to die for

LIGHT OF CHRISTMAS



Let your light, sweet Jesus  
Into our souls’ crib to shine  
Bless our hearts, divine infant

THIRST FOR LOVE



My thirst for undying love I wished to quench 
Drinking from the source of your enviable lips  
Few droplets of nectar my soul was able to sip
That ample were though my craving to eclipse!

Wisdom (An Emily dedicated to Brian Strand)

A sprinkle of sage enhances the flavour of rice
A sage enhances the flavour of  life.

A Tribute to Brian Strand
Written:  December 30, 2009

An Emily:is a 2(or sometimes 3) line paradox form of poetry created by Brian Strand 
(labelled thus, inspired by Emily Dickinson poem 1732).It may or may not have a title,uses a 
word with separate meanings,(or one that sounds the same,with a different spelling) with the 
intention to mean several things; thereby, to enhance the thought's ambiguity/enigma.

Pondering

As I ponder my weak bladder, you see.
I travel around the corner from thee.
Be careful if around the corner you go.
Please for your sake, watch for yellow snow.

AS PURE AS POSSIBLE








Help me, oh Lord,

The soul you have entrusted me with, 

As pure as possible to Thee, 

With 

My last breath, to surrender!

Sensationalism or Journalism

(Another childhood or teen years poem.)

Newsprint small talk
in Mediocrity's lead pot
rustles and gossips while,
splashed spectacularly across
the speckled page of
Society's intellect,
a murder making column one
hides the hushed massacre
of minds.

Terse Verse

If you insist

I AM CHARLIE-JE SUIS CHARLIE



Fall snow fall,
Over the moaning Paris’ ground,
Let your descending snowflakes a 
Healing blanket for the city
To weave
And
Charlie’s slaughtered cartoonists 
To enshroud!

SOUL EYES




As my eyes, with age, are losing their sight

And able I am not, clearly, anything to see 
 
My soul’s eyes, in wonder, are opening wide 

Praying, my Lord, a glimpse to get of Thee!

Its force, my Lord

A LIFE WORTH LIVING





                 It is not the quantity of years that makes our life a

                                    Worth living experience  

                                                   But

                 The moral quality with which we conduct ourselves 

                                         During those years!

LIFE



A mighty river life is,
Where 
The powerful waters of
Rushing feelings, 
Roaring emotions  
And 
Thunderous ideas flow,
That 
In wonder its source has
And 
Its estuary in awe!

DESTINY AND I




Lost,

At a crossroad of my life,

Destiny I met

Smiling, she inquired where I was
 
Heading to 

“I am waiting for you to tell me.”

Was my reply!

SEED OF CONCERN



My Lord,

Give us the will
To overcome our heartless indifference for
Those who suffer 

So as 

Able us to be,
In the ever-stretching desert of apathy, your  
Seed of concern to sow!

The appropriateness of our actions, the Lord

Expects from us to see

INDIGNATION




No, my Lord,

Mercy, for their wretched souls, I could

Never ask

Let them burn into eternity for their atrocious crimes,

Committed against humanity 

And

Against the law of Thy infinite love !*
