Faith is a powerful thing
Faith in Him was about to fade,
Absolute darkness and weary jade,
In my head and heart though lived a spark,
The dying hope flew as high as skylark,
His enormous blessings flooded at gate,
Iridescent colours brightened the day,
Succour found swirling in spillway,
Aura of positivity did spread its wings,
Paring all the woes of a harsh spring,
Of the chilled winters and falls of autumn,
Weathers changed but stayed the faith,
Euphony that set the melody in life,
Reminiscence of joys and no strife,
Fierce pain that pierced the heart,
Unfathomed passion that tore apart,
Lionise a feeling strongest of all,
To make believe that thoughts do live,
His ways are strange to take and give,
Incurable, innocuous to insufferable,
Nautical sun when goes red at horizon,
Gold of faith scintillates at the furnace !

Impulsive to a thunderclap jumped to end of life,
Countermanded, God sent him to my rescue,
Groping to survive with cinder in my zest,
Encumbered grief to enrapture, His genial ways to
embrocate,
Trenchant, I could ideate various hues of His
cosmos,
My voyage had not reached terminus as I lionise,
Eternal he vacilitates,conceive you may or may
not,
Have felt Him aboard each time in trouble,
How true that God bursts everywhere!!
It took me time to embellish
myself
And long to reach you!
And there I stand confronting
you and lionise,
Behaving uncontrived and
candid!
And now you waste golden
moments talking to my better
half,
Bereft me and become
nonpareil!
Your fairer half still sits staid,
Not inveighing our inexorable
closeness!
Do not evince your antediluvian
ideas,
And undulate perplexed
disconcert!
If you vitiate my selfhood
today,
It would addle and might moire
me beyond identity!
Look into my eyes I am
dogmatic,
Very positive that Love will
triumph!
