When some men of faith brought a paralytic to be healed,
Opening the roof when they placed his bed before Jesus
When the forgiving grace of the almighty was revealed
The fault-finders placed before him, their malicious thesis
Could eyes filled with coal dust find an unknown way easily?
The dusk of ignorance blocked them from recognizing him.
Aren't these, more than the one who's healed, paralyzed mentally?
Hope of healing them, like straightening a dog's tail, seemed grim.
The healed, bloomed with joy, like a sunflower before the sun.
Pessimism paralyses physique and psyche painfully.
Is, with no flow of fresh streams of optimism, laurels won?
The Pharisees, like desert daisies, dried disdainfully.
When praises of the people of faith, like incense, ascended
The Kingdom of God, like a sublime universe, descended

Many times we cry without tears
The fears we attach to our subconscious mind
We become blind to our destiny
Yet we discover that silence only makes it louder
Crying without tears is a common practice in the 21st century
Having tears empties the soul
Having no tears paralyses the soul and
Makes us numb in the face of many circumstances
Crying without tears will often
Allow you to go through the motions
This stream of passivity
Will cause you to be blind to your destiny
Crying without tears is a common practice in the 21st century
Having tears empties the soul
Having no tears paralyses the soul and
Makes us numb in the face of many circumstances
Let’s break free

One moment you are sitting still,
the other you're not. The worst
moment for anxiety to hit is
probably when you least expect
it. Can you expect it though? It
waits for you to be weak, or to
be your happiest self. It strikes
when you feel nothing and then
your whole world comes collapsing.
Anxiety, holds you hostage in your
own body. Sucks your soul and
keeps it that way, lifeless and
unattended. It's the feeling of heat
in an air-conditioned room, the dip
in your heart while taking a dump,
the paralyses induced when you
hear about that one trigger that you
just discovered is triggering.
ANXIETY, the word is enough to
render you inactive, perplexed,
agitated, sad, and all the other
emotions you can't name. This
blank document writing itself
and bringing within it the anxious
scrolling while the heart still dips
and beats in tones not understood
by me.

The mind in constant change for more,
to have or not and what to adore.
Matters of love promulgating those needs,
misconceptions attaching seeds.
Contenting with natures faithful fruit,
to honor that given health sphere suit.
With less, more souls meet at glance,
when facts fall dead and truth takes advance.
Virtue dissolves in motion of purity,
then anxiety paralyses the sense of activity.
More perfection in to forgive,
less judging limitation to outlive.
The more to love in all-exclusives,
realizing that destiny is all-inclusive.
More truth by if cannot be acquired,
but the less by compassion discovered.
Throne of everlasting moving sky,
laws of fixed position shining ray.
Lesser stars grow slowly dim,
virtues subtle eclipse and its glowing rim.
More things unseen by eyes limitation,
mysteries bond for innocent creation.
To sink into more mind despair,
less respect turns into dark without fair.
More faith is the wisdom source,
less seen spirits maintain that earth-ship course.

I had to travel miles to find a rose flower then I found you, my flower and alas! My search was over and I had to forget about the rose itself. That’s when my career changed from a florist to an astronaut because I wanted to land you to the moon soon. They said love is blind so pardon me if I trip and fall for you. What I feel for you is a fact not an act. The thought of not thinking about you paralyses me for you are the strength and the centre of my universe. My heart is tailored to love you all season and my hands to make sure that your heart is always refuelled by my love. Forget about Spiderman, superman, batman I will be your man. Whoever said a week starts on Sunday never had you. My love for you has no era and my feeling for you only my administration can handle without being overthrown.

Conquering my own fears that lies within
Overlooking things that keep me bound
Understanding that fear paralyses
Remembering I am resilient and strong
Always looking ahead and not looking back
Giving myself the chance to learn new things
Engaging in new ways to show “courage”daily

fear has negative downward effects
freezing you within its painful grip
there's a consciousness deep within
making you feel about to slip
Why has fear this awful power?
that numbs you into its hold
making you lose your nerve
freezing solid so very cold
This fear has an inconsistency
never knowing its next hit
such is this fearful devastation
you really want out of this pit
It ties your stomach in a knot
twisting and turning all inside
gripping organs internally breathless
catching one on the offside
If you can hold your nerve
as this fear paralyses you sore
maybe victory is round the corner
or defeats lies at the door!

Moves swiftly in tunnels like a rider
Though many called him a deadly spider,
Just two legs different from normal fly,
His mandibles and toxin he holds so high,
Lying in wait for his prey with web net,
Stabbing this creature with pronounced teeth set,
Attacks within his burrow away from foes,
This surprise act further compound their woes,
These sets of teeth,he uses to dig his holes,
Where he drags others to devour their souls,
A trapdoor is made between himself and his prey,
which is triggered to make a nice display
When the creature is caught it then closes,
He injects weak toxin with plenty of doses
which slowly paralyses the victim.

Courage animates us
Brings us to life
Makes everything possible
Yet, courage is the rarest quality in the human person
Courage is the absence of fear
Fear paralyses the human spirit
Courage is the capacity never to be afraid
Courage is the fear that has said its prayers
Courage is required by practicing courage
Anything is possible
Whatever your dream is
Make it happen
Have courage
Start today
Amazed what life gives you
In return for a bit of courage

Fear paralyses me
As the tears pour down
And my heart breaks
Ever so slowly
The waiting is worst
Without answers or hints or
Even a look to go off of
If you were around I could read you
The weight on my chest
It's hard to breathe
The simplest song releases
The next wave of pain
Why can't we just
Live like in my dreams
The fairy-tales in my head
The happy couple, forever after
Me head pounds
Calls for a drink
Or a pill or a shot or
Anything to erase these thoughts
My hope waivers
But never dies
As I wait patiently and painfully
For you to remember me
I scribble lines
And pray for word
To a god I don't believe in
But what else can I do
Your intelligence
Your talent
Your beauty and love
Perfection I don't deserve
Yet that look in your eyes
On the rare occasion
When you look into mine
Is worth the wait for each stolen moment
You see I'm helpless
Hopeless at your feet
Begging for a scrap
Of your time, of your time
