Falling Signs For Nations

Browsing through history
Observations reveal
A nation bound for depravity
Loses its political will

In degeneration of morals
In language erosion
Departing from the spiritual
And absence of direction

Engrossed in much hatred
Breeding violence
Not of peace instead
But discouraged citizens.

Focusing on wars
Investing in costly weapons
Decline is not very far
Power blinds a nation.

History has an ugly way
For itself to be repeating
These visible signs today
Show many countries falling.

'The field of doom bears death as its harvest.'
(Aeschylus)

What A Friend Is

What is a friend?

One who stands with you
Through all the good and bad
Support you all the way through
Be there when you are sad.

One who can forgive
With whom you don't pretend
Though you have no wealth to give
He is always a true friend.

But when mistakes you make
He's ready with correction
He may hurt but not forsake
And will show the right direction

A friend has 'agape' love
You can always be who you are
He is a gift from God above
His loyalty goes very far.

'Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
but an enemy multiplies kisses.'

Seriously...Poetry

Most publishers would wish
That those who indulge in the literary
Utilize correct English
Considered seriously...poetry.

So refrain from 'u' when meaning 'you'
Never use 'gonna' for 'going to'
Specially never 'ma' for 'my'
And don't write 'wanna' for 'want to'.

And for those who think that they're smart,
Who lace their poems with curses
They show little respect for the art
With inadequate language in their verses.

Undecided Love (Naani form)

Between indecision and ambivalence
In passing Time
Drives Love to Absence
Frail Gemini's crime.

Communication

Communication is touching
Another with sincerity
Not just with verbal teaching
Conversing absently.
It is the human spirit
That reaches forth with care
Words so laden with it
In love and knowledge share.
Crossing space and distance
Communication frees
It is the golden chance
For friendship and for peace.

A Love Letter

Hello, I hope that you are well
Since we said our last goodbye
I miss you so much, you can tell
I have not forgotten, though I try.

Things have not changed, that is true
And though you have moved on today
My love remains, nothing I can do
It always shows, no matter what I say.

So you have someone else - it's alright.
Letting you go is really for the best.
To hold on to you- yes, I have no right
To leave you is to give myself due rest.

So Dearest, take care and be happy
I have memories when you were mine,
I just wrote this short note to sincerely
Wish you the best...Happy Valentine!

A Writer's Prayer

In my nothingness, be glorified
For everything I have all come from You,

Remove the dross and foolish pride
With grace, bless everything I do.

Guide my writing with Your Light
Your Words of Truth inspire me,

May all that comes from pen be right
That all men come to see.

Bless the words with Your great Power
A wondrous working from above,

For You, oh God, made me a writer
Declare the hope of Your Mercy and Love!

'The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
turning a man from the snares of death.'

Proverbs 14: 27

'I have come that they may have Life, and have it to the full.'
John 10: 10

Words Become Lifestyles

Words make the man
And reflect what his heart contains

Thoughts become words
And when spoken they remain

Words that are repeated
Become habits in the end

Habits formed become lifestyles
That later may be hard to amend.

Kindness

Kindness is an alien word today,
Eventually bound for extinction.

For angry words that people say
All carry tones of sheer vexation.

If words can swallow each man whole
Then we'll devour each other up,

For rage has taken each man's soul
One sentence then would be enough.

Perhaps it's time we change the tune
And lace our human words with grace

This higher form of life may soon
In time end up without a trace.

For there is only one distinction
That separates man from all the rest

Aside from Love's profound emotion,
Of virtues, Kindness is man's best.

--
'But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, perseverance, and long suffering....'

When Eagles Fall

They will fall and not know why
Disaster ruled their beloved land

When Truth and Faith allowed to die
God released them from His Hand.

So They will crawl and eventually die
Their cries and pleas will be in vain

This nation lost, their God deny
Had pledged a partnership with Pain.

Their profane words that degenerate
Their cursive writing that sealed their fate

Like soaring eagles shot with arrows
Swift is their fall and much is their sorrow.

The Color of Absence

A prism
Of diverse colors
Intertwined
In mixed emotions
Released
In light, a burst of magic
In darkness
Shades become lethargic
Absence
Opens white and blue
Magenta, red, and green
Blended
Feelings left unseen
In sadness lost
Dissolved in hues.

Just One Wish

I have but one wish and it is this:
That a ship of dreams will one day take me
To where you are and there to kiss
Each other in love, so affectionately.

To finally gaze in your loving eyes
To hold you in a sweet tender embrace
And to feel my heartbeat suddenly rise
As I see the love shown there in your face.

I have this one wish and I hope it's granted
That together we will be and remain that way,
There's nothing in this world I have ever wanted
Than to be with you Dearest, for all my days!

Sick Critic

Vexations and vagaries
Plague negativity

Pompous animosities
Spread much toxicity.

Unfounded anger fed
Erupts like a volcano

The writer's ink turns ugly red
And fits in poem he shows.

Jury, judge, and warden
Sentence laid for others

Those striving with their pen
To be successful writers.

Self-appointed Critic
Resign from your position

For stress can make you sick
And affect your heart condition.

Smile: -)

Life Story

To Hope is life's necessity
To dream is Freedom sought,

Each day is Opportunity
Another step to Growth.

To Love is truly caring
Affection pure and good

And Faith in God believing
His Grace is spirit food.

To try again is Courage
And to work is Dignity

Thus recorded in our page
This is our Life Story.

Sincerity

Out front they said I could write
But behind my backs they sneered,
Such foolish pretense was not right-
Insincerity in the hearts that leered.

The ugly masks people wear
Destroy themselves in the end
Like rust and termites there
The erosion will inwardly bend.

When people say what they mean
And mean each word they say -
Truth is where their hearts lean
And with sincerity they will always stay.

'Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.'

Proverbs 12: 19

My Valentine Is Blue

The day of Hearts approaching
And you, I will be missing

That Valentine card is still here
Catching my every tear.

For another love had taken
And left me lonely and forsaken

Words on cards are never true
My Valentine isn't red... but blue.

If only words can deliver
This card's beloved Sender

What a great day Valentine!
Same as last year -

when you were mine.

Wishful Dreams

In dreams persistently you are
A present vision, ever haunting

At night like a brilliant distant star
The sight of you fills me with longing.

You call my name there in my dreams
Embraced I am in fleeting shadows

You hold my hand like fading moonbeams
But you're not there in my tomorrows.

If life could be lived in wishful dreams
No waking up in the brightness of sun

Together we will be forever it seems
Of days and of parting... there will be none.

Ink Bottle of Life

The pain and sorrows in life's hurdle
Are all contained in bottled record.
For our Experience is the ink bottle
Where the dipped pen draws many words.

The souce of writers' inspirations
From it the passion ink flows through
To weave the lines and compositions
Of life and loves that we once knew.

'He who pursues righteousness and love, finds life, prosperity, and honor.'

Empty Cans

The foolish man speaks
With the loudest voice
Like little empty cans
That make the most noise.

Those who are hollow,
No wisdom to be found
But full vessels we know
Can silence their own sound.

The more the words
The less, the meaning-
For silence accords
A deeper understanding.

'Silent waters run deep.'

'A fool multiplies words.'

'When words are many, sin is not absent.'

Veritas

Empty chatter and vagaries
Always seek lost arguments
That dwell in weakened theories
Wasting time and precious moments.

Doubts and questions long ago answered
Will never mentally suffice
The unbelieving so encumbered
With his mind closed, will not have peace.

For those who do not nor will believe
No explanation can stand sufficient
But to those who have in Faith received
God's Presence is more than just eloquent.

The message of Christianity is not just words
Based on the lowly, minute wisdom of men
For the manifestation of His Power accords
His Truth revealed and testimony given.

----
'If you seek Me, you will find Me, if you seek Me with all your heart
and with all your soul...I will be found by you.'
