Best Marvellously Poems
He leaves his silent signature on every piece of art
Not seeking worldly profit or acclaim,
Yet touches of perfection often set his work apart
And witness to his honourable name.
He moves his painter’s palette from the east unto the west
From north to south he coats the sweeping land.
His artistry is limitless and stunningly expressed
With every brushstroke marvellously planned.
Assorted textures bring to life the panoramic scenes
Resplendent in their richly varied hues,
From pastel pink to persimmon and dazzling emerald greens
Warm russet browns and iridescent blues.
A masterpiece can sometimes be neglected it is true
And counterfeits delude us at first sight,
So let us keep this perfect canvas in our field of view
And in the artist's workmanship delight.

Each trace of life is clothed in mystery,
But sense of wonder’s often numbed by pride
In man’s achievements throughout history
And daily blessings are soon left aside.
The age of wonderment surrounds us still;
Celestial contemplation will reveal
Such mysteries which cannot help but thrill
And cause the humbled soul,in awe, to kneel.
A tiny mass of cells picks up its pace;
Eyes, ears, nose heart are marvellously styled
Distinctive fingerprints are soon in place ;
Two lives united form a new-born child.
With open eyes and hearts we’ll understand
That miracles and life walk hand in hand.

If I have to poetry see and define
My words would shrink and stop to ink
My thoughts would be unable to align
And in confusion I would rather sink..
Visions in words would learn how to speak
Words marvellously moulded by a wordsmith
Far reaching charm a poet would constantly seek
Unique gems adeptly crafted by a goldsmith..
It’s the power to paint and portray
Compose a tune.. an ambient so rare
An art gallery, a rich tapestry to display
Masters of words of sublime flair..
Much more.. the magic of poetry
The soul of verse can one acquire?
Abc’s and rules.. suffice to pen poesy!
Who grants the gift of Muse and the grace to inspire?
On the mystery of poetry I still ponder
Poets and their feeding Muse hearts impress
Their path of no sand or end would wander
What is predictable willing to transgress..
Fill your glossaries beyond lands and seas
Empty the wealth of your mine into sieves
Precious pearls of rare beauty you receive
Stir souls while telling stories before you leave..

Of all the colors across the wheel
And all the hues from which to deal
There is one that stands more bright
Makes me wish I were to break in flight
I do miss most the color yellow
Does make me feel so very mellow
Reminds me of warm sunny days
In so many marvellously peculiar ways

Vembadi, my Alma Mater
On day one, I stepped into school tearfully,
In school uniform, clutching my bag nervously.
Miss Barker appeared! I gazed at her fearfully,
Her foreign face scared the native lass tremendously!
Miss Barker, the disciplinarian, and her walk daily
From Lower to Upper School, we’ll never forget.
The great lady, with her methodical ways,
Our last foreign head, guided our school skilfully!
We learnt to read, write and count effortlessly,
But faced tests and exams anxiously.
We took part in sports and games snappily;
At break times I ran out with friends happily!
Miss Mabel Thambiah, our first national Principal,
Succeeded Miss Barker calmly and unflappably.
She steered the school at all times marvellously,
Specially in the turbulent takeover years!
Our teachers worked so painstakingly!
With improved knowledge and manners, we prayed daily.
The years flew by, our schooling ended quietly,
And I stepped out, at seventeen, gallantly!

Little bright cheeked girl,
With long, sombre braids in a navy wool skirt,
Dreamed of Paris,
Sitting on a wooden stool,
Sipping hot lemon water,
Slipping away in a Soviet land.
Years brought inspiration, aspiration, liberation,
And with this one fine day,
In blossoming, plum coloured May,
Fate introduced itself in the shape of a man.
Never did his eyes wander away from hers,
Inciting a pleasant skip in the beating of her hopeful heart.
Words exchanged and suddenly there it was,
A confession he lives in the very core of her dream.
Soon she was there,
Finally alive in the boulevards, soaking up the Parisian air.
The mesmerising beauty of the same idea;
The houses all the same, all equal,
Executed so marvellously in cream coloured stone,
Glowing in the saccharine sunshine of the day.
The cafés where all her childhood idols spent their lives,
Art greeting a person every step of the way.
At night he was by her side,
As they indulged in red wine in the stuffy attic,
Laughing away as she sang a lullaby.
Fate gave her that, just for a while.
Then took it away to be reasonable,
Shielding her from the intoxication of this opulence,
To encourage her to remember this fondly,
So that one day she would return for more.

As Jesus came to this earth
then a babe for the first time
will come again as the risen king
to judge all whatever their crime
So now is our preparation time
to get ready for the kings coming
living a life that pleases God
a thought most marvellously stunning
To do this we must trust Jesus
believing on His work of redemption
dying on the cross for us He did
so we can receive His salvation
When we truly believe on this saviour
bowing under His sovereign lordship
walking with him day by day
knowing His presence kept by His grip
Then we are ready to meet Him
when He comes one glorious day
to perfect our glorious sanctification
then well done He shall say
So are you ready for the great event?
are you living for this world or for Christ?
if not for Christ then it'll be too late
for then you'll pay an eternal price!

Rhyme
Is merely the folding of the shower curtain that snaps the righteous peg. Sending jasmine smells at nine in the morning to refresh the house and it's occupants. Living in a dishcloth is very very clever and a mild climate is useful for a mountain trek. When arriving in a house with white stools attempt to hide in a plastic bowl with painted goldfish. As pretty patterns are preferable to a protruding tooth. Yet kissing and caressing is marvellously relaxing upon energy beams. Emery boards are closet format for elongated legs in shirts. While entertaining the many manufactured people who sit and stand in lines and formations of great magnitude. Would one really attempt to deliver rum to a large laughing cavernous mouth. No surely not. That would be unwise as harpooning a few snails is not great for the circles of biological breath. One must breathe the fauna to taste the life. And always sink harmoniously in the realms of tree trunks as bases are often useful places to begin an orderly journey. Wow such prevalence. Wow what a pleasantly pleasing place. Pigs play in mud. And plants grin at snouts. Misted of times. Mists of a new day. Dawn of a new era in a sealed envelope. Trample. Trampled. Traverse. Tailored. Ticktock. Ticket. Ostriches officially organised organically ordered onions and a pretty doe smiles in breezes whilst a seal sings a goat plays structured but freeform tunes a pig does a rapidly whirling chicken dance and a brilliantly bathed baboon bakes and breathes brethren bringing back basic breaths. Rapids in a curry. Coriander plants. Rewiring of vastly increasing numbers. Dome cakes. Done domes drop domesticated dim don delivery deletion. Xx secretion. Love to the known. Xx

Gazing upon a crystal lake
Shimmering light of reflections
Painting a picture of me, inside
Shadowing my, imperfections
Skimming a pebble across its face
Bouncing along, ripples create
Finally, sinking beneath the surface
Bubbles arise, as its weight subsides
Captivating beauty to one’s eyes
Early in the morning, a mist arise
Floating seamlessly, above the lake
Breathing in the coolness of the air
Moisture felt on your face and hands
Soaked up, by tiny pours in your glands
Vapour condensed on the leafs of trees
Dew drops falling replenishing the land
Floating on top in a boat, romantically
Aware of the splashes to the side
Rowing silently through without care
The undercurrent, strong as the tide
Evaporating back into the atmosphere
Continuously watering our earth
Transporting minerals every where
The hydrologic cycle, we surf
Hydrogen is a very combustible gas
This liquid we all need, alas
One molecule containing three atoms
Two hydrogen, one oxygen, amass
Marvellously, creating our weather
Chemically bonded together
With nuclei and electrons
And crystallized, perfections
Drink plenty of water, we must
Be like fluid, not rust
The ripples begun, dry ice round the sun
So go with the flow, the water is fun
And this is our H20

as i gazed into the beauty of your perfectly round brown pearl eyes i saw the
tender joys of life. i beheld your radiance and charm with great gratification. i
thought, who shall this wonderous damsel touch with the life of her beauty,
intellect, and grace?
i in all of my slplendor could not succumb to the realization that i was so alive.
surely, i was merely dreaming dreams of a hope that has yet to be spoken. thus,
did i find myself intertwine with my mind and heart speaking marvellously to her
unspoken thoughts as she embrace the truth of my life. thank you so much for
your sweet grace my beloveth grace of life.

Ballad
Mitigating migrating mermaids mingle marvellously. But only after consuming an oyster. Oysters can be quite operatic and operas are neither optical illusions nor organised instruments either. It is within the waves that patterns form. Darting to a mn fro. Discovering depths. Creatures yet unseen whisper to waters and sailors chant and clap several times to catch fish and avoid bad weather. The force of a tepid whiskered whale is held in high regard by a limpet. It is within a ball of nautical booms that a book is born but books made of bread should only be served in oceanside cafés and skinny waitresses in shell costumes could serve the wares from sandy plates with hair akin to seaweed dried in the sun. How rather amazing the plumage of a plummeting plum formation. Isnt that astounding really? For a dishwasher could be rather dishonest whilst all the commotion was occurring from clam tables and therefore lose the cutlery. Oh no and an oompa oompa noise means the knives have halved and dived into the perilous back of the drainage system. Must rest then the test must surely be adhered to. Like perhaps the placing of glue before washing? Yes. That would be it. Key to involving a mighty whoosh from a water machine that delivers much fresh to a stale stagnation. Static vapours only really occur when the moon is round and not triangular. Ha the curds are arriving just look at their hands painted in rainbow italics. Ha the covers of the shops are radiating a luminous glow today with ten flowers laughing from the roofs. Grafted grinding grinning crinkled paper basket in a bow tie and a trilby hat. How rather cute! And a stained weather map is a target for an ambient ship parade.

There's nothing quite so graceful as a flying pig. Swooping over lands and seas. Saying hello to birds on the way. No pecking though. Just oinking. Occasionally octagonal birds can speak the dialect of oink. As avocados sleep quite peacefully below with the buffalo on the plains. From high up above it can be ascertained that the tents can be seen. Magnified by an inner eye. And located by snout smelling capabilities. Little furry bundles of mice and shrews wave pink flags as the trotters pass. Oh how marvellously enchanting it all is. Say hi to big bird for me you squirrel there in that tree. Languages linguistically leaning learning. And landing not prohibited in a cart or an abattoir. So apples must rise to be consumed. Hahahaha oink multiplication table hahahaha divisions of a quagmire of troublesome clouds. Xxxx sus scrofula domestica suide z

Indirect interference into interesting iconographic inked inner initiative is not a carefully stepping clam, a carved tree cake nor a dune of a moon. Taking no bistro out for a walk or a cafeteria for a swimming lesson. For galas are won by astronomical gesturing garages who can do a high speed sprint in a pool. And high jumping competitions are competitively won by a zero rated steak sandwich with extra relish and cheese. Well that helps with the balance. Wow. Even eggs, explosive electric eels, erotic earwigs, economic ecliptic eccentric elves, and a fortified frog are capable of racing a tidal wave. Perfect. Pass. Perfect position. A country manor is not maneuvering on a dry day. Dry days deliberate drying dresses. And dance of the nine millimetre worm can be most admired in a pie of a circus tent. Whirling around carrying eighteen batons, a baseball, a silver jacket encrusted with rhino slices, snake shoes, and a tiny earring glowing. Lights that are lit at that moment will ensure a beacon built. And beacons are not big bakers they are brilliant bringers and bombarding battlers. So not a duty seen before in a table spire leg of a nineteen century church with a nice arrangement of flowers and candles. Watch how it moves around in the dining room. Arlington National Bank meeting Arlington castle in a tank ranking above all the little poor people. Nineteen fifty one and three quarters through the year but now overseas known as an overweight quarterback. General-purpose general genes. And the light from a single bin can foresee an evening gown in a long moveable mirror. Mirrors message movements making music movies. Instantaneously it is. How rather remarkable don't you think? And now take a little pixie and have a little dance in a bathroom. Great. Especially when carrying ten loaves of bread, seeded buns, apple cakes and the mucus from a very fat slug is said to be gold in a full moon. So kiss a grass snake and lean on a temple. Forty forms frolicking. Going boing. Wow. Marvellously enchanting is an armpit aroma? Hahaha the glass is staring at nothing today. Hahaha disrupted drainages hahaha left wing right tail light hood bonnet boom. Boot shaped milkshake on a intersection. Xxxxxxx millionaire monsters. Chat cheat.

Divine Appointment
Sometimes you meet,
someone that you are supposed to meet.
Walking on a path in a strange city.
A divine appointment.
Someone who needs to bare their soul,
Who needs to share a prayer!
A friend you haven’t met is waiting there for you.
Looking for answers
That only you can give.
The Master has set it all up.
The timing like an orchestra,
waiting for the maestro
to begin the first note.
The angels gather round
Ready to lend a hand.
Moments on a path,
Brings you to this divine appointment.
To sit and reflect on beauty all around,
Of glorious wildflowers and lake views sublime,
Geese all in a row with fuzzy down of new feathers,
Marvellously swimming behind their mothers,
In an orderly fashion.
How do they know how to do that?
A greeting spoken kindly to one,
whose smile shows deep beauty within,
Revealing a life of pain and suffering,
And misunderstanding…
Revealed within the lines around her eyes.
Words of encouragement,
desperately needed!
Loneliness on hold for another day!
This day is chosen from above,
To join two hearts as one!
For a moment in time,
To share experience in common,
far from judgement, seasoned with love,
Remember THIS day…
That you too could be
Sent to a divine appointment!
You’ll be on time, there is no doubt!
In the right place at the right time!
