Prayer's Power
When heart breaks and bleeds under the sharp knife,
Cut and crushed feelings blame the storm of life.
When mind forgets the joy of the daybreak,
forlorn eyes spend the night in tears and ache.
But firm faith fights the hardest blows of pain,
to triumph over the arrows of rain....

Pen Name
What’s an appropriate pen-name
for a poet on the climb for fame?
First of all, it should have a ring to it,
a certain literary allure about it.
Make it clever, give it an appeal
even though it isn’t yours or real.
Choose a name that draws the ear
and promises a lucrative career.
Sound and purposeful psychology
when coupled with creativity
will boost sales...

THE COST OF SUCCESSI took a loan
to build myself a home
just a little space to breathe
to rest without chasing time.
For a while, I lived with ease
forgot the ticking clock
watched joy bloom like flowers
but never watered the debt behind me.
So I borrowed again
to pay what I once owed
then borrowed more to mend the last
circling like a bird with broken...

If Life Were A Game Of ChessIf life were a game of chess,
I would not be holding the chess pieces.
I wish to become a chessboard,
So I could see the wonders of life and be free
Or I may in another way I can explain
A plain tea that reflects the story of life,
The chess pieces will show your past life
How...

Winning PickGOD sent you here on a mission
I pray that you don't give up before it's finished
In your hands you have a ticket
I hope you picked the winning digits
In life
Although I don't believe in Luck
I believe you can come to a conclusion
About what you want
And and take the necessary steps...

ABRAHAMS CHILDRENThe children of Abraham are a force, sent by Gods word and walk with all of his force.
Like a triangle, we do have points, sometimes we can hurt, and also cut into the earth.
We are passionate about our God, and we bow down and pray for all of God’s blessing while on this...

Falling Leaves, Fading ChaptersI watched a leaf release its breath,
A golden sigh upon the air.
It tumbled softly into death,
A quiet dance without despair.
The wind, a gentle funeral song,
Caressed it with a lover’s grace.
It drifted, weightless, swept along,
No bitterness upon its face.
I thought of all I’ve had to leave,
The hands, the homes, the hollow years.
I thought of how we...

Be Your Own Life DJYou built the skills, you have done the work,
Faced every challenge, adjusted to every quirk.
Now comes the fork in the road of life that is yours to face
Grab the microphone of life with a warm embrace
A DJ doesn’t follow sound,
They craft the moment, feel the ground.
They blend the old with the new, create the...

Success at Last
A lady at a coffee shop was sobbing.
Another lady, a Good Samaritan,
said gently: May I be of help, madam?”
“Not really,” she said, “it’s really nothing.
My husband...an accident...this morning,
fatal, and finally.” “Oh, I am so sorry,”
said the lady offering her sympathy
hoping she might lessen the lady’s grief.
“Oh please, don’t be. My tears...

1st anniversary of playing piano at M CentralOn Friday, 2024.06.28, at 11:13:07
I first played piano at the M Central.
It was BB who introduced me to a world of music,
The 1st song played was his favourite.
It has been exactly one year.
Many things have unfolded here.
As I genuinely seeking for music therapy,
I have also shared that to many.
On my 2nd and subsequent visits...

Beyond Fantasy and DreamThe seeds of imagination, once planted in my mind,
now grow a forest—trees with trunks
stretching from earth to sky,
like the Tower of Babel...
yet these seeds rest unconfused in my spirit.
Thoughts of greatness turn my dream into a rainbow—
beautiful, colorful, and wonderful—
a revelation that lifts me onto a well-decorated
horse,
strutting on a rug laid for royalty and majesty.
Without...

NillionaireI sit on a throne of unfinished things,
wearing a crown of missed chances,
a robe of echoes and brittle stances,
stitched with the pull of quiet strings.
My mini palace is kept on my palm,
built from silent, paused goodbyes.
I spread my kingdom with quiet gaze,
ruled it with intent none could revise.
I am self-slaved by chosen remand,
My soldier thumb...
