My Story To Tell

"To love is nothing. To be loved is something.
But to love and be loved, that’s everything."

When you are in warm handshake with love
All you ever imagine is to fly up high like the dove
You never cease soaring in aptitude to dissolute
Your thirst to drink more from love’s well is absolute

By devotion of countless emotions
The extent you hope to sail is beyond oceans
Nothing seems impossible
And by counts, every dream achievable

My story to tell is like most few ever told
It began on one late night, a walk alone in the cold
From afar beneath the cloak of total darkness
From henceforth arose my redemption from coyness

A portrait work of God’s intellect and perfection
Her appearance flaunts in blissful ignition
Nature’s gift hardly to reject
And by acceptance, patiently unwrap and inspect

Elizabeth by name, in her prime of life
Swore I to champion her test, master in all strife
Failing is an option potion to auction for glory
In such stature of her nature, I offer my best act honorary

Seasons washed ashore, the bonding mightier
The relationship happier and healthier
My queen no longer was one but two
By an act profound, her being two only takes two

A charming prince forth joins the family
Merrily and happily, the family chants joy so lively
Having my queen trust and love
Seeing my prince smile out of love

My greatest joy definable by no records
Descriptive by means of no words

Alone In the Dark

I am holding back-against time wishes,
Lurking at a corner, as I forbid the slayer to find me
My heart beats and screech like a choking-engine,
Whilst the snarly sinister hunts - wishes me burnt to ashes
I dare thought to be a bee - 
So tiny I could fly and disappear from the scene.
But so lame a thought like that can help a soul.
The frightening night wants me feed to the ghoul.
Hidden – I have stayed long, linger I can no more.
I’m all alone in the dark, bruised and with a leg sore.
Escaping is impossible!

Tragedy

Tragedy! That’s the word -
Enough to put silence on every lips.
It’s become famous to today’s clumsy world.
Shuttering hopes, wincing shallow glimpse
To see beyond the walls of tomorrow.
Tragedy! It weighs tons -
Enough load for the heart to fake tears.
It is an unfolding switch of pros and cons
A villain undermining the triumph of nations for years.
A snaring dragon falsifying a sleep in the meadow.
Tragedy! It’s a hunt game on chase -
Where its hunters pray for a catch of their prey.
A mystery and puzzle case,
That take decades to solve I must say.
It’s become a deadly troll’s barrow.
Tragedy!A graveyard -
Where scavenging vultures feast.
A political creed of corruption, what a retard?
A greed infestation – a global heist,
A canker – that knows nothing of sorrow.
Tragedy! It’s become the orphanage cries,
A tormenting plight,
And the preachers lies.
A darkness to fight – by light,
Put all vanity to a shape – narrow.

Starvation

Drowning in the tears I have shed
To see the little stars dwindle afar
Clothed in their own nakedness
As of a meat dried in the sun
Slammed in persecution of famine
Betrayed by Mother Nature’s touch
Dwelling on faint hope to cope with death
Having less to feed on – by chance move on
Their pain – none like any other
For if you had lived without food for a day,
At least you’ll know how it feels without one for weeks
Their heap of load they can’t carry anymore
This plight is not a cartoon to watch
Such horror only takes delight in scaring its viewers
The world is a means to an end
And we being tools to such means, let’s end this predicament
No more starvation to our brothers and sisters
To the men of good faith in religion ~ prayer is all they need
To the rich ~ there is much in giving than receiving
I shall float ashore the tears – knowing this piece touched a heart
Redeeming the little stars to shine forth once again

True Definition of a Family

Sometimes I wish never be part of something
Cautious I must; with the kind of wishes I make.
I mostly have a little share in the family cake.
Quiet a pain, but it doesn’t find itself repeating.
Happy Today – Tomorrow Sad.

The exciting part is that, there is a hand when needed.
I find a shoulder to rest on when burden-loaded.
Like trees never do away with water.
So it is as to a son to the family, never falter.
“I love you Son” – cheered by Dad.

Mum, like the chameleon changes as to our state of facade.
The words of her punishment, feels like a stain in the eye.
She really is brave – fought well, now needs my aid.
The love- hate, joy-sorrows, the truth and lie -
These are the ties that forever bond family.

Brothers so true and passionate,
Eldest; David – gentle lad, gifted hands in architect.
Youngest; Evans – so much of personality mandate.
Dad - a quiet figure, always by our side; ever ready to protect.
Quiet blessed: True Definition of A family.

Not Any Mans Wish

T’is not any man’s wish to commit error,
For out of it borne terror and horror.
Every man’s wish is to be a conqueror.
To his seeds, fine-reflectors like the mirror.
To every child, every Dad is a juror.
Sworn to an oath of allegiance as a carer.
T’is every man’s wish to be a conjuror,
Not a staged sorcerer –
But one to lit smile on your face-make you a great scorer.

At Heaven's Outskirts

I am at Heaven's Outskirts
Where drums mellow beats like thunder
Where guitars sings like chirping birds
Here, at stage - everyone is a DJ
Here, you'll find no pop pijins like "sup Jay"

None-crazy a guy to be in skirts
Fun's always loud, and you'll find no murder
Here, faces are as colorful as the sun-birds
We make joy, deny coy and make praises all Day.
"God you are great!” on our tongue we say.

Where I am, I find no master, and no slave.
No steeps to stumble at, nor a hideout cave.
You neither need hiding, 
B'cos there's nothing hiding

Sound of Silence

Here Comes The West Wind
Refreshing the warmth air.
Leaving kisses behind, 
Sailing each a person to the dream land.
The night is so young,
To keep me at its guard a young knight.
Here borne it stillness, 
watching the grass dance and swirl to the blowing wind, 
welcoming the beauty of nature sing the sound of silence.
