The Beginning

Today, a mother held her newborn
With love and tender care,
A bond...

It was the beginning
Of the Truth, that proves
God's Love.

Hear the magicians
Offer candied hope and dreams
Sweet honeyed words flow
Like vague fantasies it seems
Cover eyes that never know.

Humility

The wheat, when rich with grains
Bends its stalks in Gratitude
The weed, though it proudly strains
To raise itself, yields no food.

Perhaps A Fool

Perhaps
Moonlight makes
Tides rise
And hearts forsake
Logic's cries
Magnetic pull
Pulses beat
Births a fool
Into defeat...
Perhaps.

Blues, No Rhythm (Cinquain)

Broken
Is he who lost
The will for life and love
To hold the future in his heart
With hope.

This Miracle (Cinquain)

His grace

Unchained the grip

Forgiveness flowing free

His Love and Mercy's miracle

....Is me.

Roses

Roses
Enchanting sight
Can mesmerize the eye
Soft satin petals hiding well
...the thorns.

The Best Way to Live

Old folks say the best way to live
Is when love, you learn to give
And for those who have somehow hurt you
For your own sake, forgive.

Impotent (Naani)

Bawdy language
Dressed in sterile verse
Nullifies its worth and track
Ends in a hallow cul-de-sac.
