Water Walk
Walking on water sounds crazy
In a storm far crazier still,
But two men were doing just that
Some two thousand years ago.
Fishermen rowing all night
So troubled and weary and worn
Would they ever reach the shore
Or was drowning their doom?
Wow! Look! A ghost out there
Safe walking on waves as if on dry land
“I’m Jesus” He said, so don’t be afraid
And Peter got out of the boat.
He walked on the water towards Him
Then he looked at the waves and not Jesus
Beginning to sink he cried out
He sure needed Jesus right now!
So Jesus stayed true, reached out his hand
And rescued poor Peter at once,
And when Jesus stepped into the boat
At once the storm stopped for their good.
Matthew 14:22-33
‘Turn your eyes upon Jesus’.
I made a measly mistake today
the family communal text site blew up
I had typed in
you will have three presents today
all three daughters claimed they had received presents from me
with a note that said “you are my favorite”
It got wilder and crazier before I saw the sixteen texts
they had sent back and forth claiming favoritism for themselves
I typed this back “you are all knuckleheads. This text was
for my friend Marianne who has a birthday, not you goofballs”.
I included a farting elephant for good measure.
I do believe my mistake gave my daughters the
most fun they have had in a long time
Why does my story seem complicated?
As if it was as watched as a movie,
Got drowned into the pool of thoughts
And dragged into the isolation room.
They say life gets crazier,
But it is like a ballad of the cuckoo
As I carry the weight of my burdens,
Like a martyr went to the garden of paradise.
Falling in love is not my storyline,
As it traps me like a game of April fools
Old and young soldiers never die
They just fade away.

Prayer When Bitter
Oh Father God, I am bitter
My soul is hot like fever
Everything is getting critical
Let me overcome this upheaval
Oh Jesus Christ, I feel bitter
My heart is torn asunder
Deep pain I have inside
Let me set this wound aside
Oh Holy Spirit, I think bitter
My mind is becoming crazier
A lot of trouble it carries
Let me end those worries.

*My Prayer Poems Collection
One day,
All these will become history,
For life itself ain't no'in but a mystery.
Our existence will one day be told in stories,
So serve your God and leave aside your worries;
"Abi kil'aiye jamo" when friends can be your foes
When you wish them good and they wish you woes.
Take a look at the tulips and roses along the trails,
They're lovelier than humans that are crazier than whales;
"O je yaa sora" and soak thyself in prayers,
For life's lesson comes in stratas or layers.
One day everything shall be like a dream,
Like waters forgotten, journeyed down the stream.

And here comes one more random slang--
Among many that loosely hang.
What does it really mean?
Not mean, enough if seen,
But gung-ho goes this Gen Zen gang.

Note: 6 7, read six seven. It is the latest random slang like LOL, YOLO, and many of the Gen Zen going crazier by the day. It does not have to mean much, but still…
- I saw a movie; it was 6 7. (passable).
- Look at the dude, he’s 6 7. (indicates height 6’ 7”)
- I’m feeling 6 7 today (so-so).
Perhaps these expressions arise from young generation’s angst. The expression means different things to different bored heads and hearts.
Dead as a door nail
longer than a short hair
Crazier than my au pair
living in luxury
Counting on ten fingers
while my headache lingers
fatter than an opera singer
singing songs about his misery
Mountain from my mole hill
think I need a chill pill
living with no ill will
while I am practicing my tambourine
Hard to keep from cursin
with this headache I am nursin
trying to avoid a public scene
Time to get some fresh air
while I still have head hair
maybe sink a submarine.
You're just, my heart's desire,
You're like the night, so far away,
From my fire.
Tuned to our night, that gets crazier,
Watching you, all night away,
Just an admirer.
When you'll fall in my love,
Don't get your heart like hazy,
Let's kill this love like crazy,
Just you and me,
Like dancing tunes.
Rockabye baby, rockabye,
Hang on my moonlight,
Rockabye, baby, I'd cry,
Lets do this tonight.
It started at 1, 4 came soon
Covered the world in blue
That used to be my favorite hue
24 hours and two moons
A lot can change in just a day
Some phases never let you stay the same
24 years of abuse
Put a blanket on the past and
Throw it in a casket
24 years out of view
Starting over feels so tragic
But crazier things have happened
Never act crazy
There will always be someone
Crazier than you.
I love your presence
This is driving me crazier
I'm considering the possibility of torture
Playing this idea in my mind
So beautiful, baby, I love you
I feel the butterflies fluttering
With every cut that knife makes
Deep into my skin
My dear,
You are so insane
Insanely, shamelessly
That almost stopped my heart
Literally
I thought about kissing you again
Too bad, I just imagined it
I got goosebumps
But I loved it
I got excited
But I wished
Feel your weight again
On top of me, making me lose my breath
I can't breathe
I didn't let myself suffocate
Because I haven't let go yet
This is very insane
What fault do I have?
I'm not used to
Living without you…
My dear
Anxiety.
Life has a beginning and a end,
for me when and where will it all end by friend.
I wish I knew how many more days I have left,
like other's deaths will come like a theft.
In this crazy world I must go on,
getting crazier with each new dawn.
A world that is being eaten alive,
a world that is not for me yet I must survive.
Now at life's end,
I cannot pretend.
Death sits here and awaits,
for I do not know the times or dates.
A peaceful heaven waits,
I cannot wait to see the pearly gates.
To see the ones I have missed the most,
the love ones who I hold very close.
king cobra rose up and gave the tourist a fantastic smile
She began screaming as if he were a bear or a crocodile
What is the deal? He asked his cousin, who was lying around on a tile.
I have no idea, humans are crazier here than they were on the Nile.
Bound under a revolving pain
Holding up my chin to prove am happy,
swirling up inside my own shell
haunted by the same feelings I held dear
Crying for relief as I dangle under the cliff of my own mind
Chained and buried in a sea of endless prejudice
I gasp under my hair,
Holding back droplets of tears that I wish
could just fall and set me free.
I disappoint my own self,
with every drop of tears, now an ocean.
With just a blink, my emotions are my enemy
One I will never rid myself of
And still, they never seize to negotiate with my actions.
The rain indeed hides tears,
The hours I wish they could just run freely
And comfort me.
I am my own stress, so I learnt, from the fragments of my wasted heartaches which grabs hold of my frail trembling heart
and pushes me back into thoughts I burnt and faded the ashes into the air
Could I be anymore crazier to crave for things that disrespect my feelings?
So I lay aimless in total surrender of feelings I cannot resist nor forget
Hope is my only friend; as I, my only nightmare!
The crazier it gets, the less sad it seems. No need to dream about houseboats on rivers so blue, the windmill and standstills of a heart that was true. Down here to nowhere with all this time on your hands. Don’t plan it through the heart ache, says plenty, says so. No seashore, no pebbles please. The sand and the foam, the little we know of echoes alone. It’s so bad the seasons sigh and trues just on cue. All about and left without somebody like you. So Up the Chin, just dig in, It’s a crazy cold world. So, warm your hands on all He plans, the stay faithful stalls time. The line is in a song, with a crazy cool mine!
