Premium Member Watching Over the Wicked and the Good

WATCHING OVER THE WICKED AND THE GOOD

O wretched wicked man
You're hell bend on confidence
Spreading you sin filled distance
Trouble follows you grin
You laughing...

the eyes of the Lord are watching you
the eyes of God are everywhere
Keeping watch over the world
Watching over the wicked and the good

One hides behind walls and buildings
Sneaking around and sinning
Man can't see, but might I be
Also spreading sins like a demon
Spawn, wicked crafty

You can't hide from God..

the eyes of the Lord are watching you
the eyes of God are everywhere
Keeping watch over the world
Watching over the wicked and the good

the eyes of the Lord are watching you
the eyes of God are everywhere
Keeping watch over the world
Watching over the wicked and the good

And She Said Goodbye

And She said :

Be gone...Do not look me in the eyes

We were not belongers    but intruders
who happened to trespass into each other's lives

We were no Romeo and Juliette    but great pretenders.     
 Like moon rocks- Believing they are the ones 
who light up an infinite sky.

Be Gone...Do not look me in the eyes

Let not my lips go there      to that young and serene night
where we danced barefoot on the sand
with arms embraced against the sadness of lost time.

Your decision has been made.

The last petal of an untouched margarita
withered  too early in dust and rain

And you never asked why.

Be Gone...Do not look me in the eyes

Do not remember me   Do not think of me...

Forget my foreign whisper
Like I'll soon forget the wrinkle in your smile

There was never a better place
Nor will there be another time

The empty  pages have been filled

Our unfinished book-     Not anymore.

You' ll become a nobody...Like I am your nobody

A trembling echo in your hourglass fading in the sand
An empty barrel without sweetened wine.

Do not miss me            Do not need me..
Do not long for my touch     Do not remember me

Who am I ?    I am just your rehearsed dream
Who am I ?      I am just a metaphoric lie.

Be Gone..Do not look me in the eyes     and say goodbye.
I was never yours     You were never mine.

I was       you were   Were you     Was  I?

Be Gone...Do not look me in the eyes.

Stiller Waters

Memories of troubled, sunless days
have passed over my solitary place,
and with much expectancy, I predict lasting peace
with stiller waters for a calmer heart full of awerness;
tomorrow will not fail me, I will know a good rest
never before experienced...not spoiled by uneasiness!    


Happy events weren't anticipated with sorrow,
unhallowed and fearful they wrestled within,
but my lack of understanding made me bitterly weep!
O refreshing river never stop flowing, giving
your stiller waters to a repenting soul being
purified, forgiven, changed, uplifted, and loved by all. 


Lively are the lilies in that sunny field on the peaceful outskirts 
of town, unbosoming their loveliness without uncanniness or impurity,
and their splendor is reflected in these stiller waters; 
take some of them and put them into a tall vase,
or bring them to an altar to redeem your grace:
expose your guilts and pray...belief is the source of felicity! 


Not repugnant anymore, but thankful and singing with a mellow tone,
hearing the melodious organ so accordant and melliflous...
a godless lifetime is not worth living with thoughts so spurious!
Rebellion was a mere whim whose memory I will have no recollection
with stiller waters soothing me and mending my once-righteous ways...
only my merciful Lord can restore my faithfulness, and not let me wander alone!

Premium Member The Master of the Rhyme

The Master Of The Rhyme
This was inspired by comments 
made to me , by Great Poets
Peter Duggan and Olive Guillermo
And sung to the tune 
Phantom Of The Opera's 
"Music of The Night"   by Andrew LLoyd Webber 


Words that rhyme well--- serve to show my passion
Searching for the--- style that suits my fashion
Everything I see--- Is a poem meant for me
And I write it though it seems to be sublime 
I truly am the master of the rhyme

While I’m sleeping--- in my mind come creeping
Filled with laughter--- mystery and weeping
Like an artist with his brush---I am filled with such a rush
And it paints a picture deep inside my mind
I wonder if I’m Master of the rhyme

Do you know who’s the Master of all known words
Do you know when he comes or where he goes
As He writes with my hands and through my soul
Whether it be a rhyme or it be prose 

Written words--- start forming innuendoes  
Join and bond--- then rise like a crescendo 
When I awake I find--- this happens every time
I am just the name that must be signed
For I am not the Master of the rhyme

As I sit here staring at the empty page
He whispers in my ear again
I don’t know where the poem’s going to go 
But, when I start the words begin to flow

Is It God, and is He on the level
Cursing me, as If I were the devil
Cause once I start to rhyme---the words begin to chime
Like a bell--- keeps ringing in my mine
He truly is the Master of the Rhyme

He alone holds the blessing---I make mine
For I am just a servant of the Rhyme

Premium Member The Heifer and the Ox - Mar 17

Said the Heifer to the Ox: “O‘ sorry Ox,
How terrible to work your heavy yoke,
All day to wheel around that grinding spoke!” 
She lay lazy in the shade of nearby rocks. 

But Ox plowed onwards. Hearing Heifer’s knocks,
And paying no heed to her pitiful smoke,
He laboured, knowing well the dreadful joke
Which soon was to repay her mindless mocks. 

And just then came a large procession near,
Garbed in diadems and resplendent frills;
“O‘ Heifer, if only you’d known your lot,
You’d have held your tongue and lived life in fear!“
The priests, dragging Heifer to the high hills,
Offered her to gods whose favors they sought.


(Inspired by Aesop's "The Heifer and the Ox".)


Premium Member Mountain Birds

“SQUAWK, Squawk, squawk” ,the Bald Eagle’s song of Freedom, Liberty and Serenity

bird Houses, in my backyard are filled with baby Chickadees , Whining , is their Song
If they Knew by the end of Summer, in stillness before the Rain: Phoebe - Tranquility
 the clouds Thicken and Blacken : the Chickadee puffs her chest, sings Phoebe song
The rain  softly Crying a Phoebe’s resounding  echoes , Chickadees, duel Ability
 the sky is blue:  the wind is calm: a single Phoebe "warning" believe in Her Validity

His Bright Red Plumage
He can not hide from my Eyes
Tapping and rapping, His song 
There’s no Special  beat
A Redheaded Woodpecker
Tap, Tap, Tap, Rap, Raps his Song

So close sits this Robin beside me
No Songs, just the Promise of Spring

Premium Member A Conversation With the Little Star

“Little Star, twinkling so beauteously bright
I greet you again a very blest night
Enthralled with mirth to see your sparkling light
That beckons me to delight in sky sight.”

“Nice to see you with your starry-stare zest
Oozing along your glowing interest
I saw such exuberance; oh purest
When you sought for my response to your quest.”

“Thanks for the brilliant realization
That you are God’s marvelous creation
Highlighting His omnipotent function
Along His wondrous artistic action.”

“Well, I just affirmed your science know-how
Midst astronomy’s concepts as of now
Blending with Bible facts that truths endow
To illumine as hope and faith allow.”

“Yes, I’m settled with what your are … indeed
To me, you radiate heavenly creed
Pointing me to the Saviour Christ I need
‘The bright and morning star’* my soul does heed.”

“Just keep learning … midst childlike wonderment
Sharing wisdom in loving engagement
While upon your mentoring fulfillment
Exalt the Lord with best-star-achievement.”

*Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

Along the Shoreline In Waiting

 In waiting...
for the touch of the ocean upon her toes


for the whisper of the tide in her ear

and the scent of salt-spray in her hair

In waiting...
For the echo of the dunes ,and sounds

 of empty shells behind her back

In waiting..
For the falling of fresh water drops against her skin

and a crispy breeze cooling the air

In waiting..

She catches herself gazing
towards the fine line at the far edge

Watching ripples here... and there...

beneath soaring sea-gulls

Seeking a reflection in waters
where once pebbles were tossed
Hearts drawn, and short novels read.

In waiting..
She strolls along the sea-shore , She wonders...

Is it the same ocean,sand,tide , that He lstens to,that He feels
Is it the same ocean,sand , tide that He shares ,that He sees.

Is it the same sunrise which kisses her cheek-bones
that warms up his breath and dries up a tear

Five hours and five million miles away

Is it the same solitude that captures
his moment ,without her return.

In waiting...Always...Forever... In  waiting

Premium Member A Quest Touched By Heaven

A QUEST TOUCHED BY HEAVEN

Treading towards an immortal search
  a mortal soul stood begins the quest.
Crossing deep sea and burning desert sand
  down the wild and civilized land,
soul driven by zest will so grand.

Right and left battle: a door to growth and anguish
   Life still wriggles for habitable breath hiss
Shuddering fears may impregnate decline
   staggering, falling, hurting but LIVING!
Teardrops shed a lance or rose to the heart.
   Prayers a rumble to steps roaring zeal
      rave gaits thud though imperfect

Your lit of melodious merciful grace
    presages treasure drafts of redemption.
Breakages had caused falls bending spirits
   yet, these also caused cries of feverish hopes
  frightened but with Your heavenly touch
Am a mortal but siren-like singing hymns of salvation.

In the ocean expanse of gloomy sky,
   my heart -a white pigeon craving to fly high.
I strive to reach outstretch stars
   Sprouting lovelier even when rain arrives.
Singing my lifesong with side-sways,
   enjoying God's gift of life today.
