Prayer Against Doubt



Oh Father God, deliver us from doubt

May we be confident of our whereabout

Oh Lord Jesus, save us who are like Peter

Grant us faith against stormy wind and water

Oh Holy Spirit, rescue us from unfaithfulness

Be our rock against double-mindedness

This we ask in our Almighty God. Amen.

Heaven Is For Real



Heaven is a place where only through the eyes of hope,  
                               can it truly co-exist !   
Heaven is a special place where innocent children,  
                                       become Angels ! 
Heaven is a journey for those who believe in
                                     the after life ! 
Heaven is at the center point of every loving being who  
                      longs to find their loved ones once again ! 
Heaven is the venue of those who believe and trust 
                                   that we will,...one day return ! 
Heaven is Michelangelo's Last Judgement at the Alter wall 
                                      of the Sistine Chapel ! 
Heaven is a whereabout, a location vaguely represented 
                                          and understood only with the heart 
Heaven is a place of Salutation for  the rich and the  poor             
                                     everyone is welcome in heaven !

Premium Member Where Are

Where are
You?
You must be at war
Again with yourself
You
Poor elf.

How is
Your health?
Please
Wealth
Is not important
When you’re so sick
So insignificant
Next to the creek
Don’t be a freak
Be wise and compliant.

Money is not
What you think it is
Being a nut
Is not a way to ease
The pain and suffering
Keep on dreaming
And mesmerizing
About another ring.

Where are
You?
Still at war
Sitting in the pew?

Weep Not My Demise

At the point when you remember me,
Kindly don't sob.
You attempted everything you could
To rescue my dieing soul

Dear you felt down and out when
Relatives proved unable
To bear the cost
Of my hospital bill
You were generally there for me
Close to my death bay

Dear hubby take great consideration
Of our two children who
Will forever cry requesting
For my whereabout to  nurse

My body may not be there.
It has decided to rest.
I'm not excessively far away.
My spirit lives on,
Peering down, looking after
You and everybody.

Furthermore when you feel miserable
Furthermore life appears to be so blue,
Simply recollect
That my soul has its arms around you.

What's more on those exceptional days,
Times that you want to see,
That cool wind streaming past you
Indeed, that will be me,
So don't be pitiful.
Have no dread.
God has encouraged me,

I actually watch you
Consistently, 
My affection and soul are with you,
Also our two little angels

Good bye darling 
Waiting for you patiently 
In this new world

Eco's Echo

I experienced an epiphany while gazing at the domain, 
That how verdant looks a cold snowy mountain. 

My eyes were popped out ,
for such an enthusing whereabout! 

The locale kept me rousing,
and surprisingly, 
I was thrilled to bits and tickled pink.

Cruel Time

CRUEL TIME

                     Dr Ranjit Dutta

How can I ask time
To return my youth?
How can I tell someone
That I want to be young again ?
Alas! cruel time  has
Stolen everthing.
While I feel
I become spellbound
I ask my Solitude
Whereabout my smiles?
My speechless solitude 
Has no answer.
My countless dreams
Scattered in muteness
Sufferings  chase my emotions
In  sleepless nights.
My lonliness  replies
Weeping in melancholy isn't easy.
Both my palms and toes are  
Full of silica of  love.
Yes, once  I walked 
On it's seashore 
Holding hands together.


Truth Is, I Lied

Stumbled into a messy bathroom
gazing at a sorry-looking moron
in front of an unforgiving mirror;

Head cracking while the world reels,
groping for the damn remote control,
breath badly reeking of alcohol;

Who cares what CNN or Fox News claims,
not my business if Wall Street crashes out, 
nor Steve Fossett’s plane’s whereabout;

Go to hell Obama and you too Osama!
so what if oil dips under ninety a barrel
or if the frigging economy is fragile;

Truth is I lied and it terribly hurts
keeping a front and pretending
that losing my girl is no big deal;

Say, can you help me, John McCain
or for that matter, you Sarah Palin
as my world goes down the drain;

Lost again in her memory tonight
easily I cry and just easily I die
now that baby’s gone for good.
