Sonnet: In Married-life

Man, give your body to your wife and love
Her wholeheartedly whenever you can;
Woman, you give yourself to him and prove
The world of yours is him- the only man!

Both Man, Woman when bonded by three knots!
Just give you minds to each other all life;
For, two is better than one on earth-plots
And in combating problems- grief and strife.

O spouse, then give your soul, all pure to God,
The Master of your destiny always;
Remember that Heaven’s your great reward,
After a good tenure on earthly base.

Hence, love your spouse wholly for Heaven’s sake’s,
For, sacred is the nuptial ties God makes.

Sonnet: Be Optimistic

Give me some wood and I will make a boat;
Give me more wood and I will build a ship;
Give me the cloth and I will stitch a coat;
Give me the years and I will make friendship.

Give me just mud and I will build a hut;
Give me cement and multi-storeys rise;
Give me my crosses; I'll keep my mouth shut;
Give me more sufferings, I'll keep of vice.

Give me courage to do away with strife;
Give me a job to earn my livelihood;
Give me the chances to succeed in life;
Give me the love I need in my childhood.

Give me something, I'll do accordingly;
Give me a spouse or I will live singly!

Sonnet: World Children’s Plea

We are the children of the planet Earth,
Destined adults of the forthcoming years!
We doubt the safety of our very birth;
Our life exwomb is sad, bringing us tears.

We want the love that good parents can give;
We want the freedom to grow at our will;
We want to read, play, work and learn to live;
We want to be better citizens still!

Give us the chances to know about life;
Give us a world that will truly provide;
Give us the knowledge to counter our strife;
Give us the choice to worship, God abide.

Give us the love which your parents gave you;
Love us wholeheartedly, more than beasts do.

Dear God

I’m yet to use my voice for Thine good sake;
I’m yet to use my sight wholly for You;
I’m yet to use my ears for divine cause;
Give me the chance to do so very soon!

I’m yet to use my hands for good purpose;
I’m yet to use my mind to search for truth;
I’m yet to use my heart to love Thee more;
Give me the chance to do so very soon!

I’m still to quench my thirst with Thine water;
I’m still to fill my soul with food of grace;
I’m still to touch the fringe of Your garment;
Give me the chance to do so very soon!

I’m still to use my talents for Thine sake;
I’m still to count the blessings God-given;
I’m still to reciprocate Your great love;
Give me the chance to do so very soon!
I’m still to confess all my sins to You;
I’m still to live as per the Word of God;
I’m still to walk with You in Heaven’s road;
Give me the chance to do so very soon!

Sonnet: Let Spousal Love Be True

Show me one man and show me one woman,
Who truly loves the spouse without some lust?
In marriage or outside if love human,
Surpassed be love by lust and truly must.

Let us be fairer to our spouses then;
The minds shouldn’t roam when bodies interact;
Where minds and bodies concur, there’s Heaven;
Our spousal love should be unique, intact.

How can one grudge a spouse the real love?
This is the way to avoid adultery!
Lust is a Raven black, love’s a white dove!
Who foretells the poison in a berry?

True love is born when mind, body tether!
Outside the nuptial frame, ‘tis sin brother.

Happy Marriage Anniversary, Dear Spouse!

Nineteen years of married life,
Despite many kinds of strife,
And problems almost so rife –
Yet, happy husband and his wife!

The key to success is hard-work,
Good understanding ’tween spouses,
And loving, obeying children –
A boon to marriage upon earth.

With God as guide, always beside,
And blessings coming from heaven,
Years pass peacefully, very fast –
The morrow can’t be worrisome!

The difference is in each one’s hands;
It doesn’t require magic wands;
A marriage between man, woman
Is always made by heaven’s nod!

Just put your faith in mighty God,
And do your duty despite odds;
Go by your conscience without pause;
Our earthly life has divine cause!

‘Happy Marriage Anniversary, Dear Spouse! ’

Give Up

(bernard edwards/nile rodgers)
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
You better listen well
When I tell you
To be on the look out
You cant call for help
cause I know you inside out
Despite all your hideouts
Im no great pretender
Ill make you surrender
So come along quietly
Heres a thought to remember
I have not met a man yet
To escape from my drag-net
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Ill give you just the facts man
And you can draw all your own conclusions
Ill keep your mind surrounded
With chains of love so strong
You cant break through them
My arsenal is stocked
With all kinds of seductive weapons
Although your hearts locked up
My love will assist me
So that you cant resist me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
No, no, no
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me

God, Give Me …

God, give me …
The chance to make my wife (spouse) happy!
The time and ways in life to express love;
The lucre needed to enjoy in twain;
The environs to make love like in dreams!

God, give me …
The mind to think about her (his) welfare well;
The heart to feel and speak out lovely words;
The healthy body for belabored love;
The grace of soul to encounter your bliss!

God, give me …
The occasions to reconcile with her (him):
The moments to relive the glorious past;
The lanes and roads to walk in Thine presence;
The blessings of Holy Matrimony!

Sonnet: Heaven Is Worth the Struggle

The more the devil tempts, let me do good;
Let me tire the devil all my life;
Give me O Lord, Thy protective Gracehood;
Give me O God, Thy help in any strife.

To live on earth is Heaven’s anvil-test;
The devils hound all men by night and day;
And man by nature fails despite his best,
Attempting yet, to stay in Heaven’s way.

Man struggles hard: his reward is Heaven;
The life of Bliss for Man eternally;
The life of permanence with God for men,
Abode of God to reach most ideally!

With divine help, one’s success on earth’s sure;
With God as Guide, no devils can one lure.

Sonnet: Wherefrom Life’s Evils Come

Man, take away the women off your life!
Half your problems vanish into thin air;
And live a life centered around your wife;
Just do the things aright that you can bear.

Woman, forget the men who surround you!
How of your problems arise from near here;
Just love your husband wholeheartedly too,
Forgiving if he should any time err.

O human beings, money is evil;
You can’t be slave to money, yet serve God;
Wealth can’t solve all problems nor the devil;
Wealth can’t spare you from the Almighty’s rod.

So, live your earthly life with wisdom, man;
And live your life true to just one woman.

Sonnet-On love 'in extremis

Don't love all things on earth with all your heart;
Let not your mind be drench'd with love for it;
For time decides that things all must depart,
And 'tis too late to break your love habit.

Love not your kith and kin in deeper ways;
Love not your Teacher too as God-like, nay;
Love not your spouse and parents deep, in case,
The others can't your love, ever repay.

For, separations come so oft in life;
Our earthly love can turn sometimes to hate;
Your friend who's best can bring you utmost strife!
And people could your love at times mistake.
Yet, love something if it deserves your love,
But more than men, give God your love above.

A Poet’s Love

My heart is one and only one:
A furnace full of love, my own;
Despite my giving it wholesome,
It grows and tries to more blossom!

My heart has grown in size some way;
O’er-filled with love, begins to sway;
My Maker kind did full it fill,
So that I could give love at will.

A poet loves Nature so well,
In which God does always much dwell;
Almighty God, He is my Friend;
I shall love Him until my end.

My heart is one- belongs to God;
I long to live in good accord;
As men are selfish to the core,
My heart to God, I owe much more.

The things all that we do on earth
Are mainly ones which give less mirth;
It seems that good men are a dearth;
I pray that heaven stays on earth!

Our life on earth is just a phase,
To keep our soul and save our face;
If you could lift your heart beyond,
You will hear well God’s call- command!

Our earthly feat is important;
With sins, our soul turns impotent;
My talent is God-giv’n a gift;
Nurture I must or go adrift.

A man cannot serve two masters;
And if he tries, he just falters;
Love God alone and love Him well,
And earthly life will turn out swell!

Sonnet: Holy Matrimony

When two bodies, minds and hearts, God unites
In Holy Matrimony in His name,
In bond of light's sanctity, He ignites
The two forever to remain the same!

And no man dare to dis-join them at all!
The nuptial knot is sacred beyond words;
For earthly journey as two, 'tis God's call;
God's proclamation comes by tongue of swords!

But Lo! Some divorce as if by habit!
God won't forgive the mortal sin with ease;
No man declares one spouse as one unfit,
Except when proved by obstinate disease!

What God has joined, let no man put aside;
Better for man, woman in God abide!

I Am' WOMAN ***series #5

'i am' woman.
'i am ' like the earth.
from me you take all the good.

i give you treasure
i give you pleasure

mans goal in life is to take my flower.
i will give you 'the time and hour'.

i will give you what you need to survive.
and i will tell you if you are mine.

'i am' woman.
and you seek me out in every location
for i can give you the greatest sensation.

' i am' woman
i can get you to love me
or to hate me
but! you will not forsake me.
you will do as i command
for i have you in my hand.

so as the earth, treat me with
kindness and respect
and i will let you taste the forbidden fruit
that you so desire
to quench that rising fire.

' i am ' WOMAN.

Sonnet: I’m for all Time!

I’m not of any age but for all time;
My life is not just mine but for all men;
I take up humanity’s causes prime;
I seek not earthly rewards but heaven!

I know my words have magical power;
They serve to make a good human being;
Like beauty, fragrance of a rose flower,
I write to change the heart of each earthling.

My poems soothe the minds afilled with grief;
The pathos gives way onto newer mirth;
The music gives so many, great relief;
To better thoughts of living, they give birth.

But all the same, I do this not for me;
But for His sake, my Maker, heavenly!

To My Spouse Valentine

God saw your heart and made me yours;
God knew my heart and made you mine;
God made us two, spouses forev’r;
God wants us to be happy ever.

What God has joined, none can divorce –
The standing law of God in terse;
If some could separate, life’s worse;
God’s Will can’t be undone by purse!

When man and wife – a sacred bond,
And nuptial dress, we both had donned,
Until we reach Elysium’s pond –
‘Has God, the Almighty not warned?

Though halves in Christ, we are both one;
Our lives must shine akin the Sun;
A lot of good work lies undone;
Sin is the one we have to shun.

Thus, marriage is a sacred thing,
That’s done before the heavenly King!
Our children, joy it always bring;
With gratitude, our hearts must sing!

You are my valentine, dear wife!
I am your valentine for life!
Rock-like, we stand in peril, strife,
And earthly problems that are rife.

‘I love you dear spouse from my heart! ’
– Promise to keep till we depart;
The Bible tells our living art!
If in sin, we always restart.

‘Happy Valentine’s Day, my beloved wife and sweetheart! ’

God Thank You Womam

Woman, thank you thank you
God thank you woman
What we have is something special
Something quite unique
What we have should last forever
Heaven at my feet
I would give the world to you
Or anything you need
There is nothing I wont do
Just promise that youll never leave
Chorus:
God thank you woman
Thank you thank you
For the joy that you give to me
God thank you woman
Thank you thank you
For the joy that you give to me
In this world you are my pleasure
No one can compete
Happiness is hard to measure
Woman youre so sweet
I would give my heart to you
Youre the air I breathe
There is nothing I wont do
Just promise that youll never leave
(chorus)
When Im alone at night
I think of love
Well, baby thats alright
But it aint enough
Wont you call me if you need me
I have loved
I would give the world to you
Or anything you need
Oh God thank you woman
Thank you thank you
For the joy that you give to me
