Premium Member On the Verge

Sense spacious silence speak
Prize primal pattern peak


Void vets vibrant vile voice
Cream clumsy changing choice


Toilsome thoughts tunnel time
Meet moist motionless mime


Feel fond fancy flavour
Opt old odd off-odours 


Form fleeting formal face
Glimpse gaudy grinding grace


Face funny faulty fix
Meet most memory mix


Mull mushy momentum 
Treat taut touchy tantrum


Unhinge used unseen urge
Ply preachy poignant purge


Edgy echoes ease etch
Sanguine sadness soul sketch


Impact indulgent ire
Messy moments meet mire 


Languish lavish laughter 
Adjourn ample after


Listening lastly lurks
Jumpy jest justly jerks


Sober sleepless soul spice
Promptly puzzles pure price


Numbing nonsense now nibs
Tasty touching time trip


Nimble nasty notions
Pace placates proportion


Time travel through twilight
Indulge instant insight


Lift lasting lustre loud
Petty plots pretty proud


Ply puzzling poison pill
Size spacious silence spill

Premium Member Noise

Notice nice noise
Verbal verse voice


Thrill thoughtful think
List laughing links


Belief bakes bread
Rich rapture raids


Fresh fragrance fair
Dream daring dare


Line lively lines
Vouch vibrant vines


Fling fable form
Nice naughty norm


See sensuous sights
Live lovely light


Write wonder works
Juice jumping jerk


List lovely looks
Buy blooming book


Mull moving make
Trust toilsome take


Play pines pure proof
Truth telling truth


Cite clever crook
Bring baking book


Empty each eat
Finder's fond feat


Gain gracious greed
Flatter force feed


Sign special say
Dreary dream day


Mime mellows mime
Time telling time


Charm cunning choice
Values verse voice


Play precious poise
Numb bulling noise

Premium Member The Road That Weve Been Looking For

Life is occasionally called a "Rat race" for a reason...
There are times we need to step back
from life's ubiquitous and toilsome menageries
reflecting on where we are in relation to
our hopes, dreams, goals, and plans.
In sum, we need to refocus
to understand.

And remember
who we are deep within our own skin, 
hearts, minds and souls
or whatever it is we think of as being 
a meaningful member of this universe
with an incalculable multitude
of thoughts and memories  
to have and hold...   

While having to decide which road to take 
when there's a fork just up ahead 
we ought to take a deep breath in 
and feel the wind
as it begins to overtake
tension deep inside our minds, seeking
a new paradigm  
and letting go of what we know 
or what we think is true...
and closing our eyes to realize 
the road that we’ve been looking for
is right in front 
of me and you.

Author aligns art, allure aptly aims;
Union urges us, unleash urge upstream;
Timely tales taste tart, tension thrilling tame;
Happenings hurl hearse, hurts heaping hoarse hymns.
Exploit even ease, enter extra ears;
Note noisy nerves nest, notice nowness nudge;
Touching tender tease, truth thrusts toiling tears;
Ink inner impress, images indulge.
Choice charms crazy cheer, chase confronting calm;
Hurl healthy hustle, heal hurting heartache;
Evidence each ear, etch explains embalm;
Apply aid ample, applause aptly aches.
Reveal rapture ripe, rescue rash rumble;
Toilsome troubles tribe, tyrant takes tumble.

Premium Member SOUL'S CRY

Pleading for redemption delight
Toward heavenly peaceful light
My soul’s cry … the Saviour did hear
Granting freedom from hell-propped fear.

For gift of life indeed precious
Packed with compassion* so gracious
My soul’s cry of gratitude-zest
Praises God Who answers request.

Overwhelmed with guilt’s misery
Drowning in bitterness fury 
My soul cries for pardon’s fullness
With Christ’s sanctifying pureness.

Midst grief in toilsome hardship
Distracting my earnest worship
My soul’s cry asks for joyous gain
Vanquishing torment, woe, and pain.

When pride attacks, inflicting doubt
Hindering faith of truthful shout
Soul cries for illumination
To conquer creeping deception.

When triumphant stewardship zeal
Bears fruits along prayerful seal
My soul’s cry exclaims thanksgiving
Prompted by the Lord’s sweet loving.

*Luke 7:13 - And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

Premium Member My Heart's Revelation

For gift of life indeed precious
Packed with love and care, so gracious
My heart exclaims blest gratitude…
Thanking God* for supplies’ magnitude.

Overwhelmed with guilt’s misery
Drowning in bitterness fury 
My heart seeks pardon’s certitude…
Expecting peaceful solitude.

Midst pain in toilsome hardship
Distracting my earnest worship
My heart reveals meek attitude…
Gripped with courageous fortitude.

Against lurking discontentment
Of delirious disengagement
My heart needs divine rectitude…
To share kindness-filled beatitude.

When triumphant stewardship zeal
Bears fruits along prayerful seal
My heart shows "reach-out" altitude
Prompted by love’s grand latitude.

*Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Signature of Life

Mother's love, blossoms bright.
First cry of infant, hymns of might. 
Enchanting the chimes again again,
echoing the sound within the walls,
declaring our home, the best place to live in.
Heavenly lap, ensures our journey
from day of birth to end of  breathe.
I support autumn breeze
who removes old leaves, inviting new.
Smile is signature of life.
Fragrance of love better than sandal,
life shines like winter's morning dew.

Don't try to measure
the distance from birth to death.
Never forget to glow
darkness of hidden faith.
I am ready to sign to take birth after birth
to aim my cruise, collecting love from each heart.
I want to be a mirror
to reflect every smile, even after breaking into pieces.
Love is signature of soul
bridge of heart to heart.
I want to cross the river
with a sacrosanct smile without any boat.

You may not invite me,
but, my door is always open for you.
My sacrifice is broad
approaching love, digesting hate.
My toilsome effort never die,
which encourages me to march ahead.....
I want to be a mango tree,
to produce lots of fruits,
I may fail to produce mangoes,
but I will never withdraw my shade.
Sacrifice is signature of  life
to hold every heart in a single thread.
I want to gaze your garden
to sign every bud with soft golden rays.

Hoard healthy highs
End etch enough
Add apt apply
Roam rivers rough
Trendy true tries


Hope hurls healing
Etch earns ending
Art aims asking
Reap real risking
Trust truth tasking


Help hurting hires
Embrace empty
Apt art aspires
Relieve rowdy
Toilsome touch tires


Hoist heavy hounds
End each explore
Art airs astound
Risk ripe restore
Trip tipsy town


Harsh hurting heat
Endow entreat
Applause appliqué
Reach rich repeats
Toss tasty treats


Hoist heavy heart
Empty e-mail
Amaze apart
Rouse ransoms rail
Taste tension tart


Hide harsh humour
Ends empower
Art aims armour
Rude rhymes rumour
Trim trash tumour

A Cry From Far

Hopeless cries maybe but from far away
I'm lolling in the lap of luxury
So why do I care if they eat but whey.

Desperate parents sighing all the day
Living a life of toil and drudgery
Hopeless cries maybe but from far away.

Poverty-stricken, none more poor than they
While I fun and feast, they eat shrubbery, 
So why do I care if they eat but whey.

Kneeling down unto the Lord they did pray
Every breath unkind, a toilsome journey
Hopeless cries maybe but from far away.

It is the rule of our fate, none can sway
There is no escape, no recovery
So why do I care if they eat but whey.

While they subsist on handouts, sleep on hay
They but reap what they sow, in summery
Hopeless cries maybe but from far away
So why do I care if they eat but whey.

MY NAME MEANS BLESSED

For gift of life indeed precious
Packed with love and care, so gracious
My heart exclaims praise magnitude…
Blessed, I give God my gratitude.

Pardoned against guilt’s misery
Rescued from bitterness fury 
My soul exalts grace-abundance…
Blessed, I gain peaceful assurance.

Cheered up to face toilsome hardship
While ushered for earnest worship
My faith beholds miracles' might…
Blessed, I pray to God with delight.

Striving for sublime contentment
Through my heavenly engagement
My spirit trusts the Saviour's Word…
Blessed, I conquer by divine sword.

With triumphant stewardship zeal
Bearing fruits midst prayerful seal
My service seeks God's approval
Blessed*, I share kindness' revival.**
