LISTEN



Listen.
To the tale of my mind
The sound of hope.
The voice of truth
You can discern
Only listen.

Listen.
To the memoirs in my eyes
You better envisage
And let your heart descry
I guess you'll simply grok
Only listen.

Listen.
To the whispers of my heart
To what I might not say
It doesn't cost a thing
Solely save the stress
Only listen.

Listen.
To my utterance for help.
The voice that is denied.
Why wait to respond.
Abate all false remark..
Only listen.




Listen...
And only understand.
You ought not speak a word.
But heed my dashing phrase
Rather than arbitrate
Only listen.

How pleasant the world would be
If people only try
To hear and comprehend
Rather than just reply
Only listen.

Tasting tear drops (part 1)

Image
Tomorrow, it'd be second August again and Mary will go out to China town. She'd buy herself some beautiful Chinese lanterns and all sorts of decor she can remember. Each year, they become less because of her amnesia. Then she'd stop by her favourite Chinese restaurant and buy everyone sushi. Dad will help take out everything in the garage and she'll set up her decorations, it had become some kind of ritual, one that only both of them understood. She'd set up dinner table for two and she'd place two seats. When the clock strikes nine in the night and the star lights are in place, for some bizarre reason, there are always star lights in the sky on the second of August. Its as if even God understands that the night lights are important to her. She'd dress up in a beautiful dinner gown and come downstairs, and dad as always, will take her by the hand and walk her to the front door. Once she was outside, she'd hug an imaginary figure and point to the sky....

Perfect Gent

Image
Eyes like snow Lips as rose Towering and strong So were his nose Face kind and noble Pure and dependable With a glow of beauty And genuine masculinity Voice endearing with hope His voice sounded like the wind Blowing swiftly over my ears I fell completely As I gazed continually Into those cold eyes of his I wish for more than anything For a gentle touch I wanted him to hold me Effortlessly against his masculine cavity To feel the scent and warmth Of his cold embrace As I tried to move closer Maybe kiss him if I could The greatest surprise of all Came when I finally saw This perfect gent I saw Was just a hallucination.

The truth withheld

Image
I'm a Priest. I'm thirty. My name is Samuel. Priesthood has always held a special meaning for me. Everyday during mass, I'd fall in a trance, listening to our Parish Priest. I'd imagine I was the on the pulpit. My white sparkle like that of the angels without spot; with all glow. And as we sang "are you washed with the blood" during communion, I'd close my eyes, my hands pressed together as I took the communion. It always felt like heaven. I almost did see God smiling down at me, and almost did hear his voice booming through the speakers in our auditorium saying; "this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased" I joined the seminary quite too early. I joined when I started hating the world and its ways, and that was really early. I got into the seminary first in my mind at six, although in reality I joined at twenty after my university education. I did a course in guidance and counseling. As you might have guessed, I didn't ev...

Tasting tear drops (part 2)

Continued from   part 1   Then one day she met Tom and they became friends. He was a junior and normally such friendships were short-lived because people begin to say things and you tend to think they are right. But not them, Tom didn't seem to care about what people said, and she didn't have friends so no one said anything to her. Tom was working wonders so we welcomed him into our family with open arms...dad absolutely adored him and so did I.            Their friendship blossomed into something beautiful and every weekend they ate at a particular Chinese restaurant. Tom bought her flowers every time he came to visit and soon they started talking about the future, I was thrilled and inspired, my depressed sister had finally found her Prince charming, and their love had finally transformed into something beautiful, oh, the power of love. They both graduated from college and began dating, she quickly found a job and so did he...

Risen from Ruins

Image
Time goes, tick and tock, Not to pause, not to stop, Not a moment to be a friend. Not to care of how i do. Tragedies strikes, ship on the wreck, Hope and life all to sink, But greater heights my heart is set, So the struggle not to die. Risen From Ruins , the day is come, When crown shall be for crosses; Blessing for curses, boom for doom, And medal worn around my neck  Poem by: Her Excellency. Model: Tumminy Pepple

NATURE'S SONG

Image
What happy music nature brings the buzzing of a bee. The hummingbird with flying wings, chirping crickets I see. And playing in the field sheep bleat the dogs will just go bark. The ocean murmurs in the deep croaks at the river bank. Now in the coldness of the night Owls go hooting nearby. The cats go meowing midnight time just as the bats go by. So every morning listen I to music nature brings. But every creature that goes by possesses nature's gift And how I love the precious rhyme up there below the sky. Each time I see the birds that fly I see the need to cry. The echoes in my ear so loud. as ducks go quacking long. Dancing, jumping beside the pond We'll sing the nature's song.
