Only silence
                      ponders... the others
                      repeat words...
                      Obey orders !...

SILENCE ULULATES


in the solemnity of being alone, silence ululates the rich, golden language of self

Music from the heart to the soul of, 
Words chase and serve obscurity
Life runs out, fingers whisper:
Sadness, solemnity,
Blood and ink gives hue
Tears grin, lips dry
Hopes hurt, pass.
Lucid,
Life.

These shadows lengthen evening,
virescent and plum in that certain solemnity.

Do not think twice about the unthinkable,
it is a slow slide to an uneasy finish.

That certain order of the oleander is never clear,
it is not death, but life we fear....

Dear Sacred Heart of Jesus,
You are my Hope.  In You I trust.
You are the Light of my day,
my Comfort in the night,
the Counselor of my heart,
the Strength of my will,
the Salvation of my soul.
Please, hear my prayers,
and make my heart like yours.  Amen.

Let me romance you
Make you feel
Alive
Make you want
To be held
Closer
Turn not away
From a solemnity
That comes from a special heart
Let yourself
Know
That you are cared for
Know that you
Are seen
As more than yourself
As what you could be
A queen in my eyes
A beautiful princess
Amazing
Wonderful
I wish to hold you
In my arms
And my heart....

Give me a lone word.
I will write a poem.

You enter the final hour 
of diagnosis. The kill 
was imminent.

Back to back two trysts collide 
generating a fire.

Who was peeling the moon ?

The stab sets in. In  
abeyance of the gift. I  
will give you a scar.

Daisies will remain awake 
at night, for the vigil 
of a slain pilgrim.

Peace be Still

Our lives are torn apart by winds,
And swayed to and fro,
Like ocean waves,we twist and twirl,
Without peace and solemnity;
At every turn quakes,eruptions and landslides,
Cause tsunami in our lives,
We need the helping hand of God,
To come to our rescue;
And command:-
"Peace be still",
Peace that passeth understanding will be ours,
When guarded  by the Grace of God....

They lean upon one another
Teetering drunkards
Swaying in dependencies dance
Scrawny limbs clinging to frailties hope
There is a solemnity to their silent passing
An honor in their slow demise
An eerie bagpipe squeal in their movements
It is a privilege to sit among them
Listen to their ring bound stories
Breathe in their ancient scents
Disappear into their timeless moment

To please the feet
A carpet is laid
To please the eyes
A carpet is laid
To please the ceremony
A carpet is laid
To please the dignitaries
A carpet is laid
To please the honoured guests
A carpet is laid
The carpet
Stepped flat and smeared
Is never to be overlooked
As it's a symbol of
Beauty, wealth, authority and solemnity
But a carpet isn't the best oblation for god
Except one's piety...

Words from the heart say the lovely message,
Expressing the sweetness of honesty,
Sincere statement is based on the passage
Proclaiming the will of the Almighty,
In the solemnity of assembly.
These words that promise the real paradise
Are true and far away from wrong or lies,
The inspiring sentence talks about bliss,
Bringing light and hope to human soul’s eyes,
Letting not the believer go amiss....

For you there was new epoch
beyond the synagogue
when in religious solemnity
you converted to Christianity.

You wanted to support
King and the Church 
but you were also open
for political change.

Your trophy was not only
in your political philosophy 
equal with propaganda
and your satires

on profligate oligarchy,
sectarianism, collusion,
of the Ministers
and their illustrious illusion....

Violets grow in vibrant purple hues
flourishing in pinks and blues
cheerful in a place of sorrow
mocking the solemnity of the cold grey stones
echoing the spirit of the woman
laid to rest beneath the blooming colors
for her spirit and vitality
cannot be snuffed out by death
she has become more vibrant
than the flowers whose name she wore
with the elegance and beauty
befitting a flower of God.

Rest in Peace, Grandma, I miss you....

K-eep a straight face, 
A-lthough you want to laugh; 
S-tay looking serious, 
S-how the pious effort, not half. 
A-lways keep a straight face, 
N-ever turn a blind eye; 
D-on't turn a deaf ear, 
R-efrain from an 
A-libi. 

U-nder sacred occasion, 
R-emain sober or earnest; 
M-aintain the solemnity, 
I-n spite of some jest. 
N-ever make joke or prank 
I-nside the holy place; 
T-hirtieth of warm July, 
A-im to keep a straight face....

Every person is unique
And so revealed by his thumbprint
An undeniable identity
And so fate may be different
And so wealth, power, fame 
May be different too
And so satisfaction and gratefulness
Is rare
And so jealousy 
Is obvious
But
To compare with the top
To compare with the bottom
You're still lucky 
To have something in hands
Your family and loved ones
Love and affection is invaluable
Because of its uniqueness
And solemnity...

To live with luxury 
with solemnity involed
To be able to do something without dropping the ball
Competing with the world and its unnecessary challenges 
But, eventually i can find what path it is    



No negative on the mind, just wondering what's next?
Because I know I can make it with working hard and never taking an break


Don't bring me down today with this, out willing pride, I know if i always have you I'll
be willing to strive....

I swallowed the Little Book of Calm
to become a soothsayer, 
a seeker, a crier, a prophet for peace and solemnity.
For only then could I calm and relieve my troubled black book soul
torn by regret, envy, greed and jealousy.
Once digested it imbued my inner being
to emulate and enunciate
the well pond of calm within and without.
It quelled the quiver, quake, swell, ratter and roll
of a troubled world, both inside and out,
to be still, quietly moored, satiated in peace....

How does the soul enter Heaven?
Through ways, I believe, that are dark and effervescent,

For the soul, a thing of light and solemnity, 
must cross through its opposites in anonymity 

Controversial though my ideas are, according to the apocryphal biblical texts which some take too far, I believe this must be true

Life is a sojourn of symmetry,
A cyclical process of repetitious histories

We rise and begin as do we fall and end.
These are my beliefs on how the soul enters heaven....

There is a pathway called Lonely Road
That every mortal in solemnity walks.
Its ruts are deep from life’s grated load,
And tales of woe echo there as if a pox.

You have walked it in hours of despair
And so have I, world-wearied in extreme.
As we walk we litter it with every care,
Our pain and hurt sickening the scene.

We have faults that foreclose expression
To some who want to think we’re saintly. 
Thus the Lonely Road affords confession
To ourselves and He who loves us greatly....
