When you call out His Name no one even needs to know
For this is not a game and it is not done as a show
In a quiet moment maybe just off to the side
Listen to the message He sent and then go out and abide
Don’t make a big deal telling everyone that you see
For when I kneel it simply becomes just God and me
Don’t run to the crowd always trying to explain
For in being so loud there is nothing at all to gain
Tell Him all of your pain and no one even needs to know
So now you needn't feign you can just let those feelings flow
As soon as you awake or at least before you go to bed
For your own personal sake please remember what I said
Just take one step back in a quiet calm place
Tell Him all that you lack and all the problems that you face
True He already knows in His infinite Power of Grace
But as this life here goes you need to at least state your case
I took a step and never looked back
It wasn’t easy but the courage gave me a step to move forward
I left all the negativity and gave myself positivity by taking a step
I took a step to be a beautiful human being I can be
I took a step, I took a step
When the light went off and the room went dark
I prayed for a moment to be free to take a step of reviving my life
So I took a step, I took a step
I took a second to look back at what I have left behind and said
One step equals to ten times steps of light
I took a step and gave the future hope to be bright
I took a step to realize all the painful steps that pushed me are actually freeing me
My heart was full of footprints that gave me the power to a step of freedom
So I took a step
I took a step that gave me my voice and narration of life
I took a step that lead to happiness, love and harmony
I found myself, I appreciated myself through a step that was full of fear to be fearless and fierce
I took a step, I took a step
Like a river that flows free, I am like a bird that fly to the east to north
For I took a step
I took a step
Until we reach
The definition of eternity
We are one step short
of being a whole
Holistic in nature.
Universe.
A Mother is walking the child.
In gentle, softer rays of sunlight.
The journey began many days ago.
For the enormity
to reach an eternity
with fortitude, one day.
Footsteps.
A Lamp of the sky.
A shining star.
Burning inside to enlighten
The farthest corner of the horizon.
Among ashes, smoke and
volatile realities of life,
we hold hands
As we held each other in chaos, in tears.
O God! Grant thy mercy.
Humility.
Accept us in sublimation.
Have thy divine grace to gather us in courage
With each divine verse of the soul, within and beyond.
When Words surpass words,
Colors define purity,
Where we knew purity
in more eloquence than white.
Tired eyes gaze to find
an ant, a butterfly
or a bird, ahead
soaring higher than the fleet.
Reminding you of a serene stanza.
Once meaningful. Once alive.
In this world, none is without glory
in a tiny little mind’s hands, virtue returns home
A home, happened so long ago. Desolation.
Personification.
In our humble hands,
God speaks,
Where each word hides our tears,
frozen somewhere in pain.
In the awe of pain.
Holistic in nature.
The World means far more than
A news-space in alienation,
happening within, and beyond.
Like others, we are also the soul. There.
A sound, with every echos of harmony in gratitude.
Amen.
Walk slowly and chew gum
eating prunes makes you run
Thinking of what you should have said
spending more then what you have
Time flies young boys sigh
when they grow and realize
Little girls grow up to
why back then were you so rude
Forgetting why you enter a room
watching media is all doom and gloom
How do you get rid of hiccups
eating ramen to fill you up
Salad dressing not mayonnaise
smoking and drinking is just a phase
Be ready for the big kaboom
sleeping in a underground room
Life is one step then two
one step forward then fall back two
Diapered as babies we outgrow them
only to end up old wearing Depends
2. Aria
Twain kindred souls start slow and reunite,
Same as lovers who split and then made up,
Though, twas a mere slow dance, a Pavane,
Taming a dance floor with their passive feet,
As Faure's piece fades, delayed music mix,
Next, a minuet by Beethoven in G Major, No 2,
Couples one hand clasped together both leads,
Men's other handheld scepters extend outward,
While the ladies other handholds to their dresses,
As the tipsy tune plays like a Lawrence Welk Show.
Now a livelier pace quickens hearts and dancers alike,
For it is a waltz by Johann Strauss' Acceleration Waltz,
Stimulates even barstool occupant whose head swoon,
An ever do-nothing lethargic will enable them to move,
One-step two-step then turn and bow to your partners.
Lovers exchange worshipping lips more than small kisses,
As the orchestra prepares for their tune, rather off-tuned,
Nonetheless, a number by Puccini's Nessum Dorma sung,
Magically, breaths held, as his name was just announced,
The virtuoso, Luciano Pavarotti will sing that famous aria.
2020 January 11
Don't worry about her they said
Her bark is worse than her bite
But what they didn't know
Is that she used her claws to fight
Suddenly she changed before their eyes
The abusers stopped and stared
She had finally had enough
She would make them hurt and scared
She felt the anger boil and rise
Her soul turned black as night
She knew she would enjoy the chase
As the abusers all took flight
She would make them see
The hate through her own eyes
Make her the one they fear
With torment like their lies
She chased them through the town
Down alleyways and lanes
Chasing them towards the sewers
The water tanks and drains
She would show them helpless
Show them bullied and abused
She would show that people
Are not play things to be used
They sought the safety of the tunnels
But little did they know
That she would drive them forward
To the place she used to go
The black and swirling water
Looked like a giant eye
"Please make your last requests,
Its time to say goodbye"
She crouched down low beside them
In a predatory stance
"You could apologise you know,
I'll give you one last chance"
One girl dropped down on bended knees
Sobbed and begged for life
She felt her anger subside a little
Took her had off the hunting knife
The second girl just stared below
At the swirling water deep
And floods of regret and sorrow
Made her collapse and start to weep
The last and final girl
Decided to stand her ground
They faced each other solidly
Neither made a sound
The girl extended her hand
Towards the girl that she despised
And saw her breathing calm a little
The blackness leave her eyes
The girl took one step forward
Her fingers reaching out
Not knowing how this was to end
Or what it was about
Her fingers pushed through anger
Through layers of hate and lies
The nights of pain and anguish
The unheard and unloved cries
Her fingers touched the skin
So old and thin to touch
She felt the pain and sorrow
And finally knew how much
She stepped into the body
Crouched upon the floor
And felt the ice that froze her
Right to the very core
Together they moved to stand up
To approach the other two
This was when it had to end
The point that they all knew
Now the soul was shattered
In four distinctive parts
But they must learn to work together
For they don't have separate hearts.
Form:
ALLADDIN’S LAMP
Walking a day by Almeria’s desert
Where are shot Western films
And other variegated games
Suddenly I put mine’s right foot
In the Alladdins’ mouth lamp
And, in a flash, I heard a voice saying:
-Shocking mistake¡ During I was sleeping
On a bed with two mattresses
One step on my “so long¡”, to me
That was dreaming with a black cat
Falling in love with a greyish she cat
Near the door of a convent
Where a friar piss on the twos
And the rabid black cat
Leaping from his beloved greyish she cat
Scratched the friar’ tail
The friar, who, now, cry and cry:
-Mamma mia from the Sky
That the cat scratched my clapper¡
I saying to Alladin
Asking to him thousand forgivenesses:
Do You know to play guitar?
He answering me singing:
-Ouch, squid, squid
Your mother bad and you *****
You put oneself apron up
Your love looking at the North, at midday
And Your father is called as “SliceMelons”
Woolly dog, dog without teeth
Don’t ask to me Your three whises
Because I’m giving these to You just now:
To Your father, the peach
To Your mother, the pear
And to You, the pepper
And know that now and ever
The hare runs by the sea
The sardines by the hill
The fishes by the stubbles
And the shares are made with peel of bacon.
-As You, I said to him
At the top of one’s voice
Taking out the foot from the lamp
And with a kick, puting it
Below his chin.
When God took us out from Egypt, we left in haste,
Not waiting for our flat bread to rise--no time to waste:
No time to contemplate the events of the night;
Just time to leave in a hurry, right after midnight.
No time to count the miracles God had performed
Or to see that to an orderly sequence they'd conformed;
Only the following year could we begin to comprehend
That our Exodus was carefully sequenced--not at all random.
So this is our charge to each and every generation:
To reenact the Exodus of the Jewish Nation.
And each time we relive the drama of Passover Night,
We move one step closer to the Messiah's light.
In haste did we exit Egypt the first Passover Night--
In orderly measure we shall leave the Diaspora when
the Final Redemption shines bright.
I've walked along this old, beaten path, corroded and worn,
surrounded by deepening twilight for ever so long;
I came to the fork in the road and this is what I chose,
this lane of love and longing, the course of chasing that caress.
All I've ever dreamt of is a love's sweet union,
someone with whom to share
the overwhelming experience that is this life;
transcendence.
Trying to find it, I made my choice –
my path layed out before me, my life a vigilant search;
I never imagined I'd regret picking this way,
never envisioned its true difficulties.
I saw not these complications before me,
thought not of what could befall me on this road.
I walked, oblivious, towards what seemed right,
to what the heart wanted to allow.
My heart lit the stars above me,
guiding me along the path of its desire;
in this manner was I led, in this manner did I find
the most joyous thing I ever have known.
My time with the queen of my life
was more precious to me than
an eternity in heaven;
for her my heart still burns.
But when she took her leave of me,
fled from my side, not with a yell,
indeed but a whisper;
something inside was taken.
I began to turn around, from this course
to which I had my being devoted;
but when the first step I tried to take,
I found my heart shackled.
The lingering specter of my temptress
willed me to stay;
I looked at her ephemeral form, so inviting,
and still I struggle to refuse her.
To this day, I strive to take every arduous step
away from what once was;
I strain against the iron knots inside –
just to get that one step farther, back to whence I came.
I continue looking for that one
that I've always sought;
but also fighting to go back,
to find my own happiness alone, for once.
I travel through this land of rain and mist,
seeking my fortune and fate;
searching with just one eye
while peering behind the other into the past.
I Wish My New Year's Resolution Has Legs
Every year I take the same old stride
For the first few days, I'm a racehorse
I saddle all my to-do-list with pride
Then by the second week, I lose the force
If only I could rein my page each day
Focus on one day at a time, one step
Then strive forth and change my way
Perhaps my to-do-list will not lose pep
My big "R" should be a means to an end
And surely I want my tree to bear fruit
Yet my aim is to be resolute and not bend
This year I hope my target finds root
The albatross around my waist needs to go
It needs to find a home elsewhere, express
I need angel wings to get back into the flow
For I would love to get back into my old dress
I need to stick to a calorie chart like glue
This racehorse needs to be a contender
And that predatory bird needs to shoo
This New Year's looking to be the splendor
