If your voice holds no flame, just the echo of night,
A hollow refrain with no spark to ignite,
Then let the stillness rise, let the quiet remain—
For a word without fire is a breath without name...
Then let the stillness rise, let your whispers take flight,
For the dark cannot teach, and the void gives no light...
And if your words burn, but they blaze for your name,
A wildfire of pride that consumes without aim—
Then hush now, my soul, lest you fan your own shame,
For the self-willed are dust, and their embers betray.
Speak not for the sake of the sound in your chest,
But to carry the light that the Heavens have blessed.
For the lips that confess with no hunger, no awe,
Are but shadows that dance on a temple’s cold wall.
Oh, speak with the light or surrender to Grace,
Let the Divine fill the unspoken space.
For the holiest tongues know when to be still,
When silence is worship, when love is the will.
Oh, the Divine fire glows,
Where the humble heart goes,
In the quiet, it shows—
More than speech knows.
God be thanked for my spiritual revival
He graciously wrought in my life by His grand arrival
When He saved me from hell’s damnation and sinful survival
Granting me life eternal, assuring me heavenly and divine upheaval.
God be thanked for my revival constantly
As He reminds me to live by faith continuously
And leads me through His Word of truth ceaselessly
So I can abide in Him, relying on His faithful ways confidently.
God be thanked for my revival by His loving kindness
Healing my carnality-afflicted blindness with His forgiveness
Clearing my blurred vision thru His wisdom’s enlightening brightness
Caring for me with His compassion, uplifting me from me from my weakness.
God be thanked for His revival in the power of His might
Smiting my arrogance to submit to His sovereignty’s height
Reproving me of my disobedience to bring me to what’s right
Upholding me in His strength so that I can always walk in His light.
God be thanked for my revival, making me Spirit-filled
While He meets me in prayer that causes me to be soul-stilled
He deals with me by His precepts, correcting my being self-willed
So I can submit to Him fully, loving and living for Him, so blessedly-thrilled.
God be thanked for my revival as He enables me to go soulwining
To bring the lost to the Savior Who can transform them from sinning
To fulfil my part for the Great Commission along His consistent training
And help build lives for His glory thru His church, with His love, constraining.
God be thanked for my revival subduing Satan’s temptation
Despite offences, my Father works for my character-transformation
Amidst troubles, my Comforter* cheers me, with His joy and compassion
In my struggles, my Lord fights for me, granting me His peace and protection.
*Isaiah 51:3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places...

Countless individuals
have become self willed.
Seems each day that passes
innocent people are killed.
Shootings and stabbings
have become the norm.
To society’s prescript,
many loath to to conform.
Perpetrators all receive
what we call “due Process.”
So they’re given a lawyer
who excels at aggress.
Because oft times the penalty
doesn’t fit the crime.
Some are granted pardons
precluding doing their time.
Many times the perpetrators
upon return to the street.
Unwilling to seek a job
and with others compete.
They return to the same life
they failed to escape.
They were given second chances
to slash, shoot, loot and rape.
How would you like a woman who is not beautiful
Or how would she make an achievement in any day
How would you like a woman who is not talented
Or she can achieve something through her tough mind
You think she is beautiful, but not beautiful outside
A little bit not like a woman, she knows self-defense
Actually there are no rules to define what beauty is
What is a woman like or a man like as it perceive
What I like a woman is simple, no inhibition, no frills
She is the one that I admire, I just feel it in my heart
Sometimes she may be a bit arbitrary, self-willed
Unreasonable or kind of independent and different
But if everyone in the world can understand her
Though how mediocre could she be at her own will.

Man can’t get along because of our divergence,
and owing to this we live in constant dispute.
We play the race card and wait for resurgence,
we perpetuate false narratives and often confute.
At each sunrise, seems somewhere, there’s killing,
or taking property that with another does rest.
With thought and malice, blood we’re spilling,
and to get what we want we strike and protest.
We look around and see prophecy being fulfilled,
and know from this that man’s days grow short.
We shed tears and pray for those yet self willed,
for all will face a judgment, held in God’s court.
Matthew 24:6-8
6 and ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Seeking God* is great since it brings me spiritual revival...
He graciously wrought changes in my life by His grand arrival
He assured me salvation from hell’s condemnation and sinful survival
Giving me life eternal, assuring me heavenly and divine upheaval.
Communing with God is a special event to me constantly...
As He reminds me to live by faith continuously
And leads me through His Word of truth ceaselessly
So I can obey Him, relying on His faithful ways confidently.
Meeting God is grand moment, as He shows me His loving kindness...
Healing my soul’s affliction with His forgiveness
Clearing my blurred vision thru His wisdom’s enlightening brightness
Caring for me, lifting me from my weakness.
Drawing near God is vital while I trust the power of His might...
Smiting my arrogance in my submission to His sovereignty’s height
Reproving me of my disobedience to bring me to what’s right
Upholding me in His strength so that I can always walk in His light.
Fellowshipping with God is remarkable, making me Spirit-filled...
While He talks to me in prayer that causes me to be soul-stilled
He deals with me by His precepts, correcting my being self-willed
So I can delight in Him fully – living for Him, so divinely-thrilled.
Abiding in God is a wondrous time toward divine winning...
To bring the lost to the Savior Who can rescue them from sinning
To fulfill my part for the Great Commission along His consistent training
And help build lives for His glory with His love, constraining.
Togetherness with God is necessary so I can overcome temptation...
Despite offenses, my Father works for my character-transformation
Amidst troubles, my Comforter cheers me, with His joy and compassion
In my struggles, my Lord fights for me, along His peace and protection.
*Psalm 63:1-2 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

So many writes about valentines, perfect life partner
Are they telling the truth?
Do perfect people exist?
I doubt, I haven't seen any!
My husband is a normal human
As selfish, self-willed, peculiar and particular as any other human
Many of his actions irritate me, He refuses to change.
I have learnt to accept and adjust .
He goes to office when I have fever
Says he is holding a responsible position, cannot take leave.
His family and son are more important than me
They are blood relationship that's why maybe
But I am still very happy with my valentine
He has many qualities that are praiseworthy
He doesn't smoke or drink, is not womanizer
He has good value system
He is a responsible person
Earns enough to provide for all family needs
He takes good care of self, all for his family
Exercise, walking, proper diet...
He helps me when he is free
Was by my side whenever I was hospitalized
Has never given me a gift till date
but has given me freedom to buy all that I want
He doesn't care for my looks
Believes real beauty lies within, praises my good heart
He is not perfect, nor am I
We understand each other, adjust and manage to live happily
I am perfectly satisfied for I know there is nothing called perfect human
Perfection exists only in movies and literature.
Regarding love, what is true love I am not clear
I admit my son is more dear to me than my husband.

Placed 1st in Valentine contest
“…I have loved thee with an everlasting love:
therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”*
With such compassion-filled assertion,
the Supreme Lover assured me His unconditional love
along His grace, mercy, forgiveness and peace
despite of who I was: tenaciously stubborn and self-willed
midst my human nature’s vanities, flaws, imperfections
even though by divine perspective, I was utterly worthless.
“How unfathomable” was my reaction
Marked by vehement refusal...
…Making the story incomplete.
“…I have loved thee with an everlasting love:
therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”
Again, such truth reverberated---reaching my heart
Expressed by the sovereign Source and Author of love
With His goodness, provisions and wisdom
Subduing my self-righteousness, arrogance, loftiness
Vanquishing my skepticism, doubts, apprehensions
Conquering my sinfulness, guilt, shame…
“How sacrificing” was my response...
Moved by faith He has granted,
I trusted Him – my Savior…
...Making the love story complete!
*Jeremiah 31:3 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

1st place, "Standard Contest No. 105" Poetry Contest
Sponsored by Brian Strand; judged on 7/28/2018.
Despite my fatal transgression and sinfulness
God redeemed me fully from hell-fire and guilt’s trace
Thru His vicarious death showing great love and grace.
Worshipful, l exult in His priceless goodness*!
At times, I know I disobey God consciously
Yet, out of His precious compassion’s opulence
He grants me complete pardon of peace-prevalence.
Grateful, I trust His goodness-bounty constantly!
With my self-willed haughtiness’ stubborn reaction
Creating a chasm wide away from my God…
He still reaches out to me with His mercy’s nod.
Humbled, I submit to His goodness’ direction.
Even if I try to depart from God’s design
Which is actually called spiritual mockery
His divine impetus pulls me to victory.
Repentant, I seek His goodness, saying “I’m Thine.”
Midst my silken vanity and carnality
God gives faith; frees me from worldly entanglement
To adorn me with virtue-laden ornament.
Blessed, I serve Him by His goodness’ purity.
*Isaiah 63:7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

4th Place, Eight word challenge-8 Poetry Contest

Life has been given me
more times than truth would dare,
Death has passed by
less often than once.
You say symmetry, symmetry
prevails around here!
I beg to differ,
the inanimate is not to fear.
Love knows no kind or state
of mind
where thoughts in line
perpetuate the logic of time
but only lives in the knowledge
that nothing perpetuates itself
except itself.
To bear fruit
is to feel the geometry of syntax
in the movements
of self-willed digits.
Yet the semantics of my heart
is to divine
the course of my fingers
riding into
the horizon of your skin.
I hear the noises
that contaminate
the streets and suburbs
of man’s blueprints and plans
but only the rhythms of your heart
channelling love’s winds of joy
make it into the soul of my land.
