Melancholia
Melancholia devastates
It is just life erosion
Drains the spiritual state
Such a consuming depression.
Melancholia negates
The human will to rise
And conquer cruel Fate
Wipe wasted tears from the eyes.
Melancholia is unhealthy
Must be dealt with at the roots
And with Hope as the recovery
That births the Joy as fruit!

Defeat
Defeat
Will kill you
If you let it
It is the No
Before you even try
A nagging fear
You can't let go
So you just sit there
And like baby -cry!
Defeat is a ghost
Fleeting mist that is not
You never count the cost
To fight it you work
On all that you got
Knock it off
Give it the best shot
Crush it on your feet
Defeat.

Pain (Cinquain)
Constant
Pouring rain breaks
A hard rock to pieces
Pain, like rain, when poured out daily
Breaks hearts.
------ ------------
'Cinquain' consists of five lines in 2-4-6-8-2 syllables arrangement,
poetic in form (imagery, metaphor, etc.) , may not rhyme or have rhythm, but consistent in content, texture, and flow.

Chats
Are we in a predicament
Each time I voice my sentiment
It ushers such a confusion
That you believe in Evolution
It clashes so with my deep Faith
And opens up Discussion's gate
So this is what I can observe
We get into each other's nerve
Untill it leaves us very sad
To waste the chat time that we had.
Are you still there.

Dreams, Stars, and You
Broken dreams
Like distant stars
Still bright it seems
But so very far.
Like waves on a beach
That kiss the shore,
They are out of reach
Lost forevermore.
That dream is you...
So far and fleeting,
Like waves untrue
Love always leaving.

Run Through The Storms
Freedom requires Responsibility.
God or no God, we will reap what we do!
We face consequences inevitably,
Some are dreadful and hurting, that's true.
So to blame God for all our failings -
Or what Man, in Humanity, has become,
Is not only denying our Will at deciding
On a noble existence, before the end of life comes.

Pixelated You
What people think of you
Is Reputation
How you would like people to think of you
Is Impression
What you try to make people think of you
Is Image
But how you really view yourself when alone
Is Realization.
What God would think of you without Him
Is Separation
What you are with God in your life
That is called Salvation.

As I Close My Eyes I See You
Each moment never takes me away
For you always seem to be here with me
Though we are apart there is not a day
That Love has not bound us continually.
Even our thoughts they seem like one
Our hearts beating together too
From the rising to the setting sun
As I close my eyes I see you!

Fakes Out
Say what you mean
Mean what you say
Truth can be seen
In you anyway
There is no mask
Where you can hide
So all I can ask
Be what you are inside
Never be a cheap fake
It's an insult for me
Falsehood I can't take
For I hate hypocrisy
So my words are direct
There is no pretense
We may not be perfect
But at least we make sense.

Speech Reflects The Home
Speech reflects the Home
And a man will show his worth
What kind of family he came from
As his words of mouth come forth.
Speech reflects the Heart
And God sees what is within
If from Wrong it will depart
Or if it dwells with Verbal Sin.
