Dilemma

In quandary I stood
Like a child
Who's lost his way.

Sockets rolling,
Eyes probing,
Two beautiful roses beckon.

Rule: Thou shall take not more that one.

Rose A,
Rose B,
Both full of love and life.

Selfish mind,
Desiring both,
Impossible wish.

Cycles

Round pegs in square holes.
Many seasons come and go.
How then can we grow?

Vanity

Rich.
Poor.
Rich enough to buy hectares.
Poor without a plot.
Possesses many mansions.
Can't even afford a block.
Six feet for everyone.
Vanity.

Slipped Away

I saw a pearl.
A peerless pearl.
I court the pearl.
I caught the pearl.

My pearl was pure.

I jubilate on my triumph.

A thunderstorm.
My pearl slipped away...

Burning Desire

My mind races back and forth
I close my eyes, yet you plague my thoughts
A thief, stealing my meditation
Invading my mind all day long.

Could it be because of your sweet tender voice?
That still rings in my head,
Or because you, a colorful rose, sprung in April?
Standing tall and gorgeous.

I love your self-belief and confidence
And your sparkling white thirty-two.
A statuesque beauty with attractive vanities,
My arms are open wide...

While I painfully await your return,
Remember "crash and burn" while we are apart.

Life and Time

My Dear Son
You can only be eighteen once in your life
So make use the best of your time
So you don't have to wish you should have
Done the things you should have

My dear son
You can only live once in your life
Life is sweet even sweeter than sugar
But you have to be conscious of your time
Now is the time to define your path

My dear son
Now for the question you asked about love
I'll tell you in these little words
You can only love once in your life
So use your head and not your heart when in love

Blessing To My Generation

I am a blessing to my generation,
A light that shines bright and true,
A beacon of hope and inspiration,
For all that I encounter, old and new.

I strive to make a difference,
To touch the lives of those I see,
To spread love and understanding,
To set the world free.

For I know that I have been blessed,
With gifts and talents to share,
And I will use them to the best,
To show that love and kindness are everywhere.

I am a blessing to my generation,
A force for good in a troubled land,
I will stand tall and with determination,
To lend a helping hand.

For when we all work together,
And embrace the things that make us strong,
We can build a brighter future,
Where love and hope belong.

Dilemma 2

On the horns of a dilemma
Where there are no room for drama
I found myself begging for an answer

Standing at a crossroads
Not knowing which way to go
I wish I know
The direction to follow

A decision I must make
But I think I need to pray
Oh Lord show me the way

Two Roads To Paradise

At a junction
Where left and right
Lead to paradise
There I stall

At a spot
Where going front and back
Seems to be right
There I stall

At a point
Where the river divides
To two equal halves
There I stall

At a crossroads
Where there are no road signs
And no traffic light
There I stall

My Love

How else could I feel?
Than to be happy and rejoice
What else on earth could I be looking for?
When I have gotten the most cherish thing
Who else could I be looking at?
When the most beautiful face is mine
It gladdens my heart
Each time I look at your beautiful face
It nourishes my soul
Whenever I remember that you promise to always be mine
I won't go a step looking for a hag
But I will go a millions mile looking for you
You are indeed a joy to behold
You may be a thousand miles away
But you are right here in my heart
Because love knows no distance.
I love you.
