Sorrowful GladnessWhat have you to say to me?
About these things of woe
Help me to understand my plight
Comprehend, then let them go
Such bittersweet moments arise
Keeping me up at night
Charming thoughts of my father
Turns itself into awful fright
My father was a gentle man
Or so I thought most times
Until...

Looking up to the heavens in discourse
on bend knees in unspoken recourse
Archangel Chamuel from heaven appeared
giving Him strength and ease as challenge neared
A kiss upon the...

The Sword SorrowfulThe sword sat on Brigadier’s table,
thinking how she ate flesh of enemies
in the battle-field in bloody front-line
“I wish I could have change of diet
or just fast for a few months to come”
She murmured to herself....

His Sorrowful HourGethsemane's fragrance soothes our Lord,
In prayer He kneels and rends His Heart.
He pleads for mercy but His hour has come,
Our chalice to be drunk, consumed by the Word.
Led away to the dungeon cell,
Cold and stark, prepared for hell;
Stripped and striped, the bell
Of death sounds...

Sorrowful SeptemberA decade of sorrowful September;
Man creates the act of a transgressor;
The tragedies open page to new era,
Killing the others turn into raw sutra.
Hijacked planes, hits the skyscrapers:
Skin sign of the international haters;
Their inner goal is to demolish,
All the infidels must be abolished.
An evil and...

Sorrowful MemoryIts her and me in the picture I see
But now it’s the end between her and me
Her careless soul
Her vain self
Her tough tone
Brought me back to reality
The rumors she spread
The sorrow she left
The ploy she played
Were insuperable for me
I suspected in her
But then convinced myself
That...

A Sorrowful Gifted LifeTo me this world
Is a pious and lovable
Creation of Lord
For, He has given
Innumerable gifts
For the human uplift
But for many
It is just a place of
Selfish exploitation
And they misuse
The lovely gifts of God
It is abuse
An open disrespect
To the creator
Why we forget
That we were so helpless
When...

Sweet Hellos and Sorrowful GoodbyesA sweet hello.
That's how we started.
We went through our days without a care in the world.
And it all started through our sweet hello.
A sorrowful goodbye.
That's how we ended.
Our last days together were our worst.
And that last sorrowful goodbye was worst than anything we went through...

Sorrowful MadnessI have smiled when I've wanted to cry
Was it madness, for mind at time wanders?
Have I lost mind to pensive thought or
Is it my sorrow that's sets mind loose?
If so it proves then alas I am forever lost
For I am a shell and in me...

The Old Rugged CrossWhen I look at that cross, I don’t just see two shapes
But rather I see the heart that aches
The heart of our savior
That made sure we had an easy way to repent for our behavior
The cross is more than a just a chain or...

A Heartfelt ActionA HEARTFELT ACTION
It was a bitter, gloomy, windy day,
The sun didn’t show us even a ray
It was raining buckets of torrential rain
A vendor stood shivering and in pain
With only a t-shirt on his back,
We were cozy, we did a backtrack,
My father jumped out...
