                             Have   you     
                                 read           where
                   In       The   Bible        is written
               Jesus called fisherman,        come
           They were all busy                            fishing
         So  many  different                                   temper a ments
    Peter fast,  quick  to  anger,   and  to                  disappoint  ment
 John  also  hot-headed  called  Boanerges                by Jesus    and
    Bartholomew who had deep thoughts,         trustworthy  Jesus knew
         So  different   were  they,  as  are                          all believers
              But loved     so loved                                          loved  
                      With His agape love as no man can love
                            unconditional love that last forever

Justice Will Always Prevail
 


  Troubled minds hear ephemeral voices invoke thunder lightning and brimstone
  Arms and faces lifted skyward world leaders chant prayers of promise to atone
  Burning desires layered with jeweled expectations lay shattered on the ground
  Memories of a dying tree adhering to roots of seeds breathing without a sound


  Dramatic persuasion enshrouds fraudulent demonstration alluring deviant cults
  Solemnly bemused and humiliated clown transmogrified with obnoxious results
  Degenerate rulers cast spells on disheartened souls and vulnerable immigrants
  Heartless transgressions on fearful innocents intensify enflamed primeval rants


  Magi crying oceans of tears greatly agonized by crucifixion a visionary revealed
  Wounds agape under a bloody cloth a facial expression of triumph unconcealed
  Forlorn mother of a son in search of peace navigates an unforgiving killing field
  Securely entrenched within is an impregnable fortress a flaming spiritual shield


  Transitory moments celebrating unexplained manifestation of time everywhere
  Dark matter shines behind the face of nothingness inside dynamic atmosphere
  Beneath the zenith leaping ballerina enchant an ebbing tide to liberate a whale
  Yesterday today and tomorrow foreshadow universal justice will always prevail

Premium Member The Child In Me


From the yonder hazy horizon, the hills painted blue  
undulated down the emerald copious landscape  
in rhapsodic rhythmic waves that cascaded still into my view. 

Its curling contours carved for my hamlet a serene shape, 
That once cradled my endearing home in quiet milieu 
in the bounty of the beguiling nature that made me agape.

The fairy flotilla of cotton clouds I would see roam, 
make the mesmeric celestial panorama framed high 
upon the seamlessly curved canvas of the cerulean dome. 

With the serenading winds whistling in the sapphire sky,
my childhood ebullience soared secretly to a great height, 
followed the winding trails of the colorful kites I loved to fly. 

A silvery stream glided with the sparkle of delight,  
surging joy with the shimmering allure of liquid pearls,
flowed blissfully with the flamboyant façade forever so bright. 

On its rippling waters swirling within the gentle whirl,
I sailed paper boats tinted with all the rainbow colors,
saw fascinated these glide away wobbling in the current’s curl. 

These sailed to a distant fantasy land, where I didn’t know,
I imagined entranced by the charm of infantile dreams,
on these spectacular boats my mariner mind would someday go.

From obscurity all these boats and kites I can’t redeem,
for in the twilight zone with dust of time they’ve disappeared
beyond the horizon that is sinking now with the dusky gleam.

The fondest childhood memory hasn’t yet deserted me,
for crossing all the signposts in my walk of the last mile
in the glitter of the sunset hours the child in me I still see.

Premium Member Jerusalem, the Jugular -1

You can't imagine what it's like to march on a sacred city,
to plunder and pulverize a Peoples' physical promise to a Deity,
demolishing centuries of lavish labor,
wasting offspring of ancient heredity, 
destroying flesh, scripture and stone
with a savage Roman military synergy, 
a discipline determined in it's destruction of dissension
inspired by ancestral victory, 
politics was not our purview, 
methodical punishment was our specialty, 

We were War's royalty, 
we were Legio XV Apollonaris
monsters of Mars, messengers of Apollo,
the juggernaut of Jupiter,
along with 11 other legions led by General Titus
60,000 cuts of glory we stood,
for 3 and a half years we fought through the Jewish guerilla ambush
asymmetrical urban warfare welting our progress
like a pirate pestilence, 
district after district, hell spell after hell spell we bled with chilled maneuver, 
the Zealots were pyromaniacs, burnt sacrificers
their zeal and our bodies zesty wood,
in the Kidron Valley they flooded the streets ankle high with oiled water
as the Cohorts waded through the lanes leery
a torch was tossed,
flames rose in a rush,
240 men perished like spazing stars trapped in a box,
our grief agape with horrified crush,
as reprimand, Titus made the Legate sit in a tent
with his chopped off ring finger
smoldering like hot sand in the hand of a marooned man
aware of error in his ill plan,
the insurgents had men we called fox tails,
desperate demons who knew how Hell began,
as a skirmish succumbed to our skill and number
they would run into apartments
dragging the fury of our blades into rooms of Hades revenge, 
these were fire entrapments,
the buildings would blaze like windowed volcanos
screams salting us with panic linger,

Premium Member A Butterfly Is a Butterfly

It was a bright beautiful morning!
A bunch of human beings,
Who claimed themselves, butterfly watchers,
Entered into a beautiful garden,
Filled with butterflies,
Of various colors, forms, shapes, structures, sizes…!
Observing and analyzing,
Diverse aspects of butterflies,
This was what, by way of thought, they said:
Witnessing the strife toward,
Existence of the butterflies, they said:
Strife is the bliss of life…!
Noticing the solemn flying nature, they said:
Single-mindedness is the sense of duty…!
Perceiving the mutual relationship,
Between the butterflies and flowers, they said:
Agape all times alters altitudes,
As in deserts, an oasis alters even altitudes…!
Seeing the young and old, men and women,
Running after the butterflies, they said:
Fly after butterflies, that you might feel,
As though born-again…!
Discerning the temporary and tentative
Nature of the butterflies, they said:
One must know that life is nothing but
Just a quintessence of dust…!
Judging the nature of butterflies,
This way and that, they said:
Neti… Neti… which means, 
Neither this nor that…!
Pondering over the short and flimsy
Life-span of butterflies, they said:
Laissez-faire…!
Thus, the self-styled butterfly watchers,
Went on creating various concepts,
Philosophies and theologies on butterflies…!
But, the butterflies, just kept on flying,
And fluttering around characteristically –
Calm…!
Quiet…!
Composed…!
Carefree…!
Normal…!
Natural…!
Unruffled…!
Untroubled…!
This is because –
Whether one appreciates or depreciates a butterfly,
One should know the actual fact, that –
Ultimately –
A butterfly is a butterfly…!

Premium Member Agape Love

conditioned since birth, to pursue interests self-serving 
consciousness soon hypnotised amidst myriad desires
head and heart misaligned, fierce rivals for attention
delusion that we are only mind body doomed to die
causing fearful anxiety, objects of desire vanishing
awareness thus choosing to turn inwards in silence
whereupon stillness ushering soft tender touch of love 
felt as bliss currents within form osmotically percolating
cascading waves of benign energy divine cleansing form
conscience telepathically whispering voice of clear truth
cosmic inspiration thus enabling a gradual fulcrum shift
translated in thought, word and deed, as devout prayer
moment to moment, all moments in silence entwined 
healing our soul, now reflecting Gods love and light
vibrant presence in childlike trust melding with the joy
imbibing benedictions as and when upon soul bestowed
time itself yielding to unflinching courage and resolve 
ego urges vaporised in an ocean of vast emptiness 
vivified by the passionate, warm endearing embrace
of Gods ineffable love wondrous leaving us thus agape
as veils of delusion drop away layer by layer to reveal
love alone real, pulsating within the heart in renewal
from where the self strayed, having fallen from grace
prodigal son reunited with joyous heart, our true home
