(Reflection Poem) A Look At Thyself

To trust first one must trust thyself.
To love one first must love thyself.
To hate one must first hate thyself.
To lie one must first lie to thyself.
To cheat one must first cheat thyself.
For an outward expression reflects inwards.
No matter how we try to hide who we are it is seen through our actions towards others.

Alicia Nuncamas

As I walked by myself,
And talked by myself.
Myself said unto me:
Look to thyself,
Take care of thyself,
For nobody cares for thee.

I answered myself,
And said to myself.
In the selfsame repartee:
Look to thyself,
Or not look to thyself,
The self same thing will be!

Love Thyself Last

Love thyself last. Look near, behold thy duty
To those who walk beside thee down life’s road;
Make glad their days by little acts of beauty,
And help them bear the burden of earth’s load.

Love thyself last. Look far and find the stranger,
Who staggers ‘neath his sin and his despair;
Go lend a hand, and lead him out of danger,
To heights where he may see the world is fair.

Love thyself last. The vastnesses above thee
Are filled with Spirit Forces, strong and pure.
And fervently, these faithful friends shall love thee:
Keep thou thy watch o’er others, and endure.

Love thyself last; and oh, such joy shall thrill thee,
As never yet to selfish souls was given.
Whate’er thy lot, a perfect peace will fill thee,
And earth shall seem the ante-room of Heaven.

Love thyself last, and thou shall grow in spirit
To see, to hear, to know, and understand.
The message of the stars, lo, thou shall hear it,
And all God’s joys shall be at thy command.

To Love or to be Loved

I read the equation which states: -
Love your neighbour as you love yourself,
To love your neighbour as if they were you

To love is to give away thy energy
To love is risk thy soul for someone
To love is invest uncertainly

To be loved is to be made a weaker a subject
To be loved, a wonderful experience
To be loved a non stressful activity

To love makes you struggle
To be loved relaxes your mind

Love of our neighbour, then, has just the same respect to, is no more distant from, self-love, than hatred of our neighbour, or than love or hatred of anything else.

Arna

Snow, now, show, how, blow, low, flow, mow;
And like Arna your lover who is my neighbour,
But night and day i will watch over you.

Vow, tow, sow, glow, cow, bow, grow, wow;
According to the promise of your love and,
According to the promise of peace!
But partake with me in that which is right always.

You will be refreshed with the muse of love and,
You will learn a lot from me as well;
But i will watch over you always!
For Arna your love is my neighbour,
And i will do my best to guide you on with my experiences.

When I lose Myself

When thus I lose myself in Thee, my God,
Then do I see, and know,
That all Thy universe reveals Thy beauty,
All living beings, and all lifeless things,
Exist through Thee.

This whole vast world is but the form
In which Thous showest us Thyself,
Is but the voice
In which Thyself Thou speakest unto us.

What need of words?
Come, Master, come,
And fill me wholly with Thyself.

What To Do With An Eternal Soul?

God is eternal
the same
yesterday today tomorrow

we are eternal also
never forget
we still possess
an immortal soul

therefore
what
will you do
with this life?

Love thy neighbour
as thyself

and never forget
it is better
to give
than to receive

we are eternal
also
and as we give
so shall we receive


life is too short
to waste
in bitterness
anger regret

try show
a little kindness
be a light
in godless darkness
shine a light
for those lost at sea

you were made
in God’s image
love covers
a multitude of sin

love for others
is a good place to begin
embrace the
image of God
aspire to perfection
let it be your rod.

This Noise

The noise that disturbs your neighbour is like,
A swimmer without a life-jacket!
But, i will live to lead you on peacefully;
However, this noise around you is like a hammer hitting the head of the nail.

The noise that disturbs your neighbour is like,
Creating the silent war within your neighbourhood!
And like the heart of a summer around many others;
For, i know when it matters most.

Try to learn and try to live with one another,
Try to do your best without disturbing your neighbour!
For, this noise will surely not bring you peace among them.

Rhythm Of Life

Welcoming world, with the birth thyself thee get;
With a genial-sweet happiness thee made.
A pestilence revelation objective thou you hates;
That is the Rhythm of the Life thyself you gets.
Understand the monstrous schooled meaning,
Thyself expected from the ordiance having.
Work hard with the worth you arrayed;
Try the picture of the future thy made.
Arrange your surrounding with a vista tags,
Buy thy Age with the degree thee has.
Make sure life give us only a chance;
To make history as long as you can.
Don't obsure about the thrill of death,
It's the ultimate truth of the life thyself you get...

Ratnakar

Blissful homes and blissful love,
The food that you ate matters to me;
And i am the one you are searching for,
But the muse of life is like your love.

He who increases the knowledge of the world increases sorrow,
But i am guiding my mind with the wisdom of your love;
And you are like my neighbour next door.

Ratnakar my neighbour is very nice and full of wisdom,
And wisdom excels folly as the light excels darkness!
But love builds up the home.

Blissful homes and blissful love,
Who plants a field and doesn't eat from it?
For i am from Papua New Guinea;
And like the days in 'Helen of Troy',
But i am here to show you my sincere love.

I Am Graced

I am graced and I greet you with open arms,
Hands are stretched out to keep your heart.
My heart has good wishes for you,
I want to complain, I need some time to explain.
The neighbour is to be loved,
That neighbour is you and my heart.
I want to marry the dream of my choice,
That next-door person is you, my choice.
I read the complaint I make, and I have warmth,
For warm feelings deliver a peace.
You are to be loved like the one next-door,
The neighbour of decisions, no lies.

Does The Lotus Shrink Away For Everyone?

(after A.G. Visser)

Early every evening after I see my neighbour driving away
an expensive car stops on the sidewalk,
there’s an old legend that returns to me

when the sultan Mirza Khan goes on a pilgrimage
with many knights
on his way to Ispahan with his caravan

and he’s just left when the neighbour’s wife rushes past
without loosing a moment.
Early every evening after I see my neighbour driving away

where in the darkness of night he leaves
to be involved with his commitments
with many knights,

while the winter wind cuts through me,
the gaze of the neighbour’s wife chills the leaving car,
there’s an old legend that returns to me

where in the palace Fatima made herself lovely
and the sultan had just left
to be involved with his commitments,

the neighbour’s wife hurries and do not want to avoid her lover
and I read insubordination, pleasure and rebellion on her face,
early every evening after I see my neighbour driving away.

When a horseman appears as the emir of the Badewyn
Fatima is naked, young and slender
and the sultan had just left

and the neighbour is really dedicated
exemplary, friendly and he wears glasses,
there’s an old legend that returns to me

where they meet each other and make love for hours
when the purple iris blooms in the cup of the holy lotus
and Fatima is naked, young and slender

and the neighbour is with other knights when his wife is wooed
while she is begging for other attention.
Early every evening after I see my neighbour driving away,
there’s an old legend that returns to me:

Does the lotus shrink away for everyone, does it wither
when the sultan Mirza Khan goes on a pilgrimage
when the purple iris blooms in the cup of the holy lotus
on his way to Ispahan with his caravan?

[Reference: “Divan” by A.G. Visser.]
