Premium Member My Spiritual Journey
As a pilgrim* in this enigmatic world
granted freedom for wondrous exploration
I’ll journey along life’s varied avenues, or highways 
cognizant of rough roads, valleys, and even hills to trek
trusting my God, the perfect Guide toward streets of gold.

My soul I’ll yield with submission
for triumphant driving of...

Ponytails
Swishing madly,
Hurdling across the pitch.
Beads of sweat
Spraying in spirals
As fingers point,
Shouting directions
To strikers, wingers, and defensemen.

Defensewomen, really.

Get back!
Push it!
Don't lose form!
Take the shot!
Grazing past the clown gloves.
Concaving the thick nylon.
Back of the net glory!
Now run around like giddy school girls
For exactly 8 seconds.
Now mark your...

Sonnet Poem: Remembering a Father
A pair of shoes that walked many tests
Skipping and hurdling the hardest
Shockproof to the condition around
Halt to prepare for what tomorrow's abound

A distinctive scent of sweat for a living
Upbringing of children is not failing
Many sails and flights brought them away
A love message to sustain each...

Your Story
We rise in the morning after many sunsets,
Passing death, hurdling heartbreak, sloughing regrets

Off in the distance we see tomorrows, known from pasts
And at last we know, we know its as good as it gets,

Here and now, this moment each day a page in a life
A...

Achievement
Achievement

Achievement…
Is not basking in the glory
It is
The glory of the endeavour

Achievement…
Is not public acclaim
Rather, it is
Personal vindication

Achievement…
Is not looking back with pride
It is
The satisfaction of moving on

Achievement is…

Realizing a goal set,
Fulfilling one’s potential,
Hurdling over an obstacle
The success of one’s dream

Perseverance over failure
Accomplishment against the odds

The Ritual of the Setting Sun
I watched the sun going down this evening
leaping over mountains and towns
ascending long rays of light upon still water
sparking lights of infinite glory mesmerized
my thoughts keeping me in perfect harmony. 

I lay motionless on the green grass of hope 
and gazed at the setting sun...

Premium Member My Son, You Are a Victorious Man of God
My son, you are a victorious man when… 

God’s leadership over your life is your utmost desire
Every time you wake up, till when at night, you retire
Though others mock your aim with insulting satire.

God’s mercy drives your spirituality for reaching-out
Every time you advance His kingdom...

The Speed Museum
Flashlight, my face is a grey smudged blare
Eyes burn red with a savage hunger’s flare
An ancient thirst for the taste of glorious victory
Hurdling over the speed limits set in a false history 

Starved as I approach the speed of light
I’m chasing time lost in the...

Soul Warrior
The brush strokes broader now
covering canvas complete.
Earth now shrunk to smaller ground,
traversed by wandering feet.
Wisdom comes in IV drips,
scarcely supplying demand.
Water is deprived from these parched lips,
passing through my outstretched hand.

We are all but survivors, making due
with our life taught aresenals of mind.
Capturing elusive gusts...

That Strange September Day
I was young- nearly twenty-
the day innocence became ill.
I remember the funeral well
that ninth month.

As the sunlight shattered another night,
I awoke in a dim lit room, silenced
by a strange sunrise
as it splayed across the earth,
then darkened in the most
somber and eeriest gloom.

Ashes were scattered over...

Demons of Thought
Hurdling, bending, twisting about
Contemplating, stressing, feeling without
High as a kite then down in the dumps
Cat has my tongue, my throat filled with lumps 
Floods of people.  Why do they watch
Must act "normal" and perform top notch 
Tinted windows for my car, deadbolts for my...

Not So Precious Moments

They call
these nameless voices
introduced by
insipient rings
droning on
their piercing voices
shattering the moment.

They insist
on speaking breathlessly
running past the
comma’s
hurdling the
periods
racing toward
some distant goal.

Oblivious to
barking dogs
screaming children
whistling tea kettles
beeping smoke detectors
droningonandonandon
in mantric monotony.

Who imposes
such a penance,
demands such restitution?
What past life indiscretion
could bring about
such karmic contingency?

They call
yet...
