Waiting Patiently Poem

In anticipation of good news…

The moment of truth eludes

More time for quiet reflection…

And the test of patience too

The hands of destiny controls the tempo…

I’m helpless in its grip

Tolerantly the prize await…

Remembering so clear the old adage:

Good things come indeed…

To those who uncomplainingly wait

Inventory of the soulful self…

Prepared for the awesome challenge

One’s good on the horizon…

Soon to be manifest

Stand in readiness until then…

Prayers for aptness and endurance

Unwearyingly in positive gear…

Suited for the novel season

Oh the splendorous wait…

The hearty experience's certified to relate

Poem: True Friends

Soldiers faithful in life…

Victorious together in battles

Commendable brothers and sisters - worthy proved

Hearts true are golden, pure and true!

In distressful times…

They’re devotedly at my side

Dependable really…

Unmatched collateral

Faithful beyond duty…

Practicing the art truthfully

Existing to love and support…

Maintaining a strong and model foundation

True familyhood…

Kindness supreme

Ports of divine security…

Angels esteemed

God sent…

In every precious respect

True friends applaudable…

Forever prized possessions

A Tribute to Michael Jackson

Undisputed king of popular music
…undeniable master of the big stage
Recognized entertainer extraordinaire
…with deep and wide pop appeal

Michael 'J', the cultural icon unforgotten
…transcended all national barriers

...in the upbeat of renowned approval
Esteemed and treasured songfully

…a rare talent undying in rich legacy

Tears flow and drop for a fallen star
…travelling gloriously beyond in dancing bliss
Celebration for his inestimable gifts
…peoples love Michael Jackson hits after hits

An outstanting symbol of a superstar artist
…a magnificant performer of the right notes
Generations reminisce on the disco lights and nights
…with the masterful virtuoso leading to the prong's delight

The lively spirit of move and groove
…his music of verve - a DJ can't resist
…always wakes up the living-dead

...to move in cheerful rythym of dread

Moonwalking the free earth at will
…paving the way with a new cultural thrill
Gleefully eiminating the barriers of division
...and of wicked and hateful discrimination
…one moving prized piece at a time - eternally

His unifying music resonates peacefully
…consolidative and curative royally
Thank you Michael for it all - truly
Sleep well my brilliant brother
…we shall met again in divine rejoicing
…in timeless elation of our souls

Until then, the chosen of pop reigns
…in our distinct heart of light remains
With celebrated admiration and awe
…forever honored and sanctified

Tragedy

Poem: Tragedy

We Dwell in a Tragic World

Everyone knows of it…
everyday we hear a bit
Tragedy is a living sadness…
surviving in a world of absolute madness

Breeding heartache and pain…
for crying peoples of every name
Time will heal the open wounds…
but again tragedy strikes homes

Hurting hearts cry out…
as tragedy moves continuously about
Still life onward proceeds…
as tragedy sows its painful deeds

Things could have been worse…
considering the tragic burst
Thank God for life…
in the mist of tragedy's strife

Traffic Jam

Traffic Jam Poem

The slow morning rush hour
The crawling afternoon rush hour
The braking evening rush hour
Oh, how sour!

It's a daily bumper-to-bumper affair
Complicated by drivers' rage and fear
Whence did all these vehicles come?
More everyday increase the pesty sum

What's the resolution?
Simply more pollution!

To Sleep

To Sleep Poem

I was quietly asleep
I was dreaming pleasantly
It was a good refreshing rest
…and the dreams were a hopeful set

When I'm in sleep
please don't disturb me

Napping's an oasis in life
…which fuels the body for the next strife

To sleep's to be at peace
to awake's to be at war
so, why doesn't the world repose more?

To sleep's to be still
to awake's to be un-chilled
The world needs more times of stillness
…from the troubles that beset

Why can't we dwell in peacefullness more?
...instead of fighting 24/7 wars?
Do not worry about the enemy
...heartsease too, is their remedy!

Today

Today Poem

Today’s another splendidly unique
…with delightfully hopeful prospects
Assertively, I rise with the sun
…with feathered friends of awe-inspiring songs

The edified energy of the morning
…motivates a spirit in rapturous harmony
Boldly embracing the unknown
…knowing intuitively that all’s well

The charming power of radiance
…my soul's cheerfully enriched
Something good’s in the works
…I feel it in my inspirited bones

All ready for the success challenge
…and the endowment of prosperity
Like the choirs in the jubilant nest above…
…songs of joy and the sweet life

Indeed sanctified I am
…by the honourable grace of the Holy one
What more could I ask for?
I am filled with divine affluence
…to do great things while the sun approves

Today’s divinely special
…for all the virtuous reasons
I can’t complain
…for all neatly glows in my heart
