Cousin Isaac

So alive,
So vibrant,you were
Until death embraced you,
Snuffing out your dreams and hopes

It has been two rains
Since your eternal sojourn.
Though I see you as if you were,
In lived memories.

I often ponder where you are.
Can you see us?
Embittered not by your crossing.
For we all have the same course.

Beauty

Behold not the countenance 
    of beauty.
It is deceitful.
    At dawn ,it glows.
At zenith, it allures.
    At dusk, it withers.

Embrace beauty that 
    Radiates the goodness 
Of the heart outwards-
    Enriching every soul it falls upon.
And can stand 
    The test of time.

Strength of a Mother

Thou are our pillar
Where from we draw 
Strength.Thy hand was
strong once upon a time

But thy love was shadowed
Behind thy hand.For thy hand
Moulded us to what we are 
Today.Thy love now radiates

Brightly covering all of us
Like sunshine.Compliments 
Bestowed on us are a reflation
Of thy hand .Thanks for such 
Strength and love.

Corruption

It is as old as time.
Yet not even age could
Dampens its destructive
Powers. Like the molten
Lava of an erupted volcano,
Every facet of our lives
It touches incinerates
To cinders

Happiness

I search for happiness deep
And wide , far and yonder.
When I thought I have found it,
It eludes me like a desert mirage.

The more I gain proximity,
The further it leaps.
I seek happiness for its sake
And it took flight.

little be-known to me.
Least suspected by me,
That happiness is deep,within my
Very core.I turn inwards.

And behold happiness beckoned.Happiness 
Nudged me to seek a goal-that I did.
And behold happiness enshroud me,
Bursting forth, caressing, 
And brightening my whole being

Dreams

Dare to dream and 
 Hatch a dream.
Hold unto your dreams.
 For we are what we dream

With dreams we grow wings,
 To soar eagle-like towards 
Heavens boundless possibilities.
 Hold unto your dreams.
