Sorrowful unto death
(Ecclesiastes 1:18 KJV)

He that increases true wisdom increases grief...
exposing that the knowledge of serpent did not instruct the dove,
and to know serpent knowledge is to know,
how the house of Love  was divided, that sorrow is in learning,
how many there are deceived of...

Sorrowful Gladness
What 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...

Premium Member First Sorrowful Mystery
Amidst   the Garden of Gethsemane
to dissipate from the sorrow and pain

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...

My Sorrowful Soul
“Sometimes, a hug can mend a sorrowful soul like mine” – J W M Earnings
What’s the point of sorrow when I have tomorrow to look forward to?
What’s the big deal with people who just don’t want your help?
Is it time to face the fact that...

The Sword Sorrowful
The 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 Hour
Gethsemane'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...

On This Life's Sorrowful Barge I Doth Float
On this 
Life’s sorrowful 
barge I doth float 

Much too 
much a traveler 
Alas too far 
remote 
from any 
hearing and 
caring Being 

Caining

Hamming distance

Premium Member Sorrowful September
A 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 Memory
Its 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 Life
To 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 Goodbyes
A 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 Madness
I 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 Cross
When 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 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...
