Bull By The Horns Poems

GILGAMESH . . .  

Story has it you used your power to run amuck

Fickle fingers of fate

They say "good things come to those who wait"
but indecision leaves love dangling...
in the fickle fingers of fate.

Take control of your own destiny,
grab the bull by the horns...
and ride the back of what's meant to be.

Rather shall also bring you backward
Confusion shall sprout...Read More

The wind of time wobbled me,
My heart quivered in fear.
My tree has lost its roots,
My flowers of hope withered,
And got rustled by wind.
My passion was becoming faint,
And my mind in total turmoil.
I looked towards the horizon,
Hoped things will be in...Read More

but never gave up,

now that's wassap

At times of loss and grief,
I wonder where is God,
when I'm alone 
on this lonely...Read More

and mostly goodness
there were also a few other passengers standing

When smiles start to fade away
tears inevitably fall.
For you cannot help but cry
if love means nothing at all.

Hope encourages lonely hearts
to seize the bull by the horns.
And in those moments you get
to choose the rose or the thorns.

It's time to...Read More

Her calender was packed
She had so much to do
Had been valedictorian
Damn proud of it, too.

The world was her oyster 
Grabbed the bull by the horns
Her drive and her intellect
Brought her accolades galore.

I met her post haste
She was school principal then

They gathered there that fateful night,
To discuss the plans of a wondrous flight,
That would take them far from chains that bind,
Where freedom is more than thoughts of the mind.
But, an air of uncertainty filled the hall,
And the penalty for treason...Read More
