The Oracle's Corner

Fear is your heart's keep

2011-09-04T05:45:00.003Z

Tears are dropping
Like candle wax melting
Evil is lurking outside the door
I hear the door rattle
The wind shivers as the night air
whistles
Blowing fear deep in your marrow
There is no reason for courage
For no mortal can stand the fright
Sit waiting, watching, counting the
seconds
To your delightful debacle
A terror long waited
Slowly sipping existence
This is nothing but the forerunner
For your true demise waits to take you
in slumber
Your screams are loud as a whisper
You slowly drown in a pool of
trepidation
You’re blessed with the curse of death
As the clock strikes midnight
You gasp for life
But your destiny is fulfilling
“knock knock”, it’s the end at your door
Slowly your life is drained
To an everlasting slumber
As the world whispers “adios”

Blurry Vision

2011-05-05T17:38:00.001Z

Usually I would make my words rhyme
But honestly there's no time
The one who used to light my fire
Has tagged my being "Beautiful Liar"
In this case, I'm the accused
To a filthy rag reduced
Who exercises affection
For the lost souls of attraction
My life became a blunder
A feat that made me wonder
How I could throw in the garbage
The sunshine that locked me in love's cage
But this is what you get
When you remember to forget
That you're dealing with a girl's heart
Excruciating like the sting from a fiery dart
And I can't remember
What happened in September
Now I'm far away
Living life day my day
Everything I said was right
But you chose to take flight
This is the part where I stand aside
To watch you and let events slide
Heartache is never my mission
But you're struck by "Blurry Vision"

Romantic Slaughter

2009-06-21T05:44:00.000Z

You've been my reason
For joy and laughter
The reason to smile
And life's new chapter
The cause to be loved
And be happy ever after
To express affection
No matter the weather
By your side
I feel life getting better.
In your arms
the world I can conquer
You stuck close
just like a brother
And I wanted nothing
To put us asunder
We weren't dating
But were birds of a feather

My actions showed
that I loved no other
I guess you felt it
coz you loved me better
But in the end
You weren't my lover.

Out of the blues
came another
Who's bent
on keeping you closer
I couldn't envy
a fellow brother
Just trying
to satisfy his hunger
And break a bond
that was getting stronger.
There's a sharp pain
in my bladder
As I watch
another brother
Slowly appear
to take my corner
Now I'm thinking
even in slumber
My favourite meal
cannot cure my hunger
My body is here
but my soul is yonder
Lost in trance
coz life is a blunder
You were my reason
For joy and laughter
But now
I can only wonder
How this love
could end in the gutter
Once again
I've become a hunter
Searching for love
and a new chapter
As I lay on my bed
sipping some water
I mourn my death
by ROMANTIC SLAUGHTER.

Today is my B'day

Gloomy lights, Soothing Darkness

2009-04-20T13:30:00.002Z

I recall my voyage through life
In a world brimming with strife
As I shuttle from the epoch of childhood
To this phase of adulthood
For the day's death
Is the night's birth

Walking through this valley of darkness
My mind sipping the sadness
This long awaited moment of my being
Demanding the majestic walk of a king
Has left me wishing to see life through a child's eyes
And flee from mankind's lies

I behold the light
But there is comfort in the darkness
The gift of sight
Has brought me nothing but madness
I am in love with this ignorance
To foolishly fulfil my youthful exuberance

Without fear of consequence
Or the constant obtrusion of my conscience
Striving to give my existence a definition
Taking strides with determination
Fulfilling imagination's desire
Poetry bringing words to inspire

I crave to return to childhood
When life felt extremely good
With nothing to worry about
And the world gave you no doubt
But now I'm a man
I need to do the things I can

I cannot but dream of my Gloomy lights and Soothing darkness

My Destiny

2009-02-16T11:56:00.002Z

Looking in the mirror,
Strange man looking back
Eyes filled with dreams,
Mind set to achieve greatness.
Can't identify the path of destiny
What does fate hold for me?

My philosophical nature bends me to life's wil
I've been here all my life but this place looks strange
I don't understand the rules governing the biosphere
The ever flowing blood in my veins
The free breath of air.
I know the destination but am alien to the path

There are many parts of me that remain a mystery
These eyes are hungry for adventure
My soul burns with desire
To be the greatest of my kind,
An empire under my control.

They all said it's not easy
My young heart is unaware of nature's danger
I will be what I'm destined to be.
Lord, I ask that you lead me in the path of my destiny
So I can familiarize with this stranger in the mirror.

College Controversy

2008-12-23T01:55:00.003Z

I recall my days of labour
As I toiled in dark hours
When spirits roam the earth
And mortals shuttle to dreamland.
The candle wax melted
And the lamp's oil dried
In a bid to acquiring college space,
The desire for discovery of my life's purpose
Felt the ache as I ascended every step.
Filled with hope
of fulfillment at the journey's end
I've reached the top
I levitate to the highest height
What do I feel? ...........................................NOTHING
I was unburdened and given a greater burden
The earth applauded my arrival
Into a world of drama,
A battlefield
Where soldiers defended only self
It's a fierce academic war, I must win
It's the University.

Night worker

2008-10-24T03:10:00.000Z

Sauntering through the streets
In dark corners
Waiting for redemption
Of sexual gratification
Every passer by looks like a client
They answer the call that was never made

Seeking human prey
Towing the sons of men into the fiery kingdom
Making sinners of men
For hell is never crowded

Giving their virtue for riches
The root of every evil known to humanity
At daylight, she's your next door good girl
In hours of darkness, the filthiest nubile creature

The treasure reserved for only one
Has become the national cake
No one therefore can claim the patent right
Of this wonder of nature

On the duty post, when Adam's breed lay asleep
Working in darkness,
A time reserved for the action of spiritual forces,
When the men of the underworld operate
And all despicable evil is executed

They are slaves of the fiend
Only the almighty can save his people from doom

Iniquity

2008-09-16T10:33:00.000Z

Clad in the apparel of iniquity
Sin’s firm grip of my soul
Like a convicted felon
Clenched by the paws of melancholy

The dogged haul to the dark side
Pulling my mind
Magnetism almost beyond resistance
Blinding me to the ills of sin

Flesh gratifying exercise
Pleasure derived for a moment
Executed in an eye’s twinkle
Dissolves with enduring sorrow

Forsaken with guilt
Sorrow of great depth
Immaculate filth
Flowing, filling up my system

The almighty sits and watches
The fraternity with the enemy
His loving arms are spread open
To accept the lost sheep

Back at his feet
Accepted once again into the family
The light has shone again
I have found solace in righteousness

I miss you

2008-09-04T02:36:00.001Z

As we glide through various phases
Of this seemingly endless tour called life
Our being stares challenges in the eyes
We become stronger with every hurdle we overcome
We age with every second that strikes
The oscillatory nature of humanity
Feeds us from the menu of boredom
Making life a dreary ride
But there are moments worth recalling
Moments spent in your presence
Where life’s meaning is but a dream
Every second is cherished to infinity
The senseless nothings that made me beam a smile
Your vivacity deflowering my gloomy lips

When I glance across my room
My shadow is my only company
Why am I tormented by visions of you?
Why do I feel that your appearance
Will be an antidote to my emptiness?
I am pierced deeply by the sting of your absence
The pain is insufferable
It amplifies my misery.
And my remnant only hopes for your return
I have nothing else to do
But sit still and keep missing you.

Beauty

2008-06-02T00:36:00.001Z

Beauty is the sweetness of the eyes.

Beauty is the sight that gives the mouth speech

Beauty is the appreciation of God's creation

Beauty is the expression of gratitude for a splendor of great magnitude

Beauty is the picture we see and marvel

Beauty is that look we envied once

Beauty is the flower that blooms that hasn't seen doom

Beauty is the appearance accompanied by assurance

Beauty is the wonder that makes the world shudder

Beauty is that fineness Locked inside your soul

Beauty is your smile, your eyes, your lips, your body.

Beauty is you.

Family (2)

2008-05-23T00:00:00.000Z

Never knew my beginning
I grew to believe their story
With keen interest they described my origin
How my delivery gave God glory.
I let out a cry that marked my arrival
It placed an involuntary smile on mother's face
I became a part of the human race.

I found myself
Amid closely linked bloodmates
Grew up to learn their ways,
Inculcate their values,
And many a times, go astray
I discovered a network of love
Existing among members
Which established a contrast to other people.
Sometimes they give me reason to hate them,
But the love overshadowed all grief.

Faced with many challenges
Fought many battles
We created an unbreakable bond
Won our battles.
Devoid of doubt
Of the affinity of my family
I walk with a sense of pride.
Even when I'm deserted by the world
I'll smile knowing there's love for me
From people who'll never forsake me
When in need.

From the days of my childhood
Till I found beard on my chin
Their love has never grown cold
I try to give them reason to belive
That beside them, I'm secure
I'd rather be here
Than dine in castles with kings
Because this is where I belong.

Loving your Love

2008-03-21T00:00:00.000Z

You were that friend that stuck to me like glue
The one who made me smile whenever I felt blue
Your shadow behind assured me of your presence
To share your heart, I needed no License.
You were determined to be more than just a friend
The signs were clear
But I refused to see them
Uncertain of my affinity for you
I saw Love as a burden
Another cause for worry
To send you flowers
To hear your voice in the middle of the night
To show affection I did not feel
My idea of Love was erroneous

It’s a different story when a girl is in Love
I don’t know if I swept you off your feet
Or made your heart skip a beat
But I know my existence made you feel special
The thought of someone loving you made your day
You showed in every way possible that you were in Love
I knew I had found something special
A Jewel to treasure
A fortune to cherish
You proved yourself worthy of Love
I could not but Succumb to your magnetism
I had fallen for your Charm
I wanted to remain captive
Now I can look deep in your eyes and say those words.

(This is meant to be my Valentine Post)

The Condemned

2008-02-12T16:40:00.000Z

People gathered round

Waiting for the sound

The sound that will mark a man's doom

His face is filled with gloom

His eyes filled with tears

His mind revolves with thoughts

He breathes every air greedily

Because every second is precious

He accepts his fate

With arms wide open

He wished he had a better life

He sought for that second chance

That couldn't be found.

I looked at him with pity

His heart must be ready for what lies ahead

He didn't have much time on earth

He wanted to make it right at the last minute

He wanted to find solace in eternity

His sins were unforgivable to man

I didn't want to be in his shoes

I wish he had another shot at life

His heartbeat synchronized with every second

His mind was fixed on his eternity

He spoke in a soft tone.

He didn't want us to ply his route

He was a condemned man.

That day my life was changed

I vowed to be a better man

To use what I have when I still have it

He lost possession of his life

But his words rang a bell in my heart

It established an unquenchable thirst for righteousness

I knew he was a messenger.

May his soul rest in peace

My Jewel, My Pride

2008-01-31T10:00:00.000Z

Guarded earnestly by swords of steel
Like a door beneath the seal
My Jewel, my fortune to treasure
Unflinching to the whims of lustful pleasure
Young and free as the air
Wild and unaware
Of the evil that lurks in the dark
Unwilling to be taken aback
I crave for adventure
But I was taught to resist temptation
To stand firm for what is right

Designed with a pure heart
Made in his image and likeness
My incorruptible heart will not compromise
To offer my most intimate embrace
My virginity, my pride
The wonder of my world
That has not yet been explored
I'm determined to keep this treasure of mine
For my body is God's temple

My wisdom of purity
Is foolishness to my peers
Sometimes I feel I'm left behind
But a gentle voice resonates from within
Telling me to hold on
This Jewel of mine will remain guarded
Until the ordained time
When I shall look into the eyes of my other half
And make the vow
The only one who fills my heart with bliss
Who will fulfill my desires
But until then, My Jewel will be unknown to humanity

Happy New Year (2)

2008-01-09T14:18:00.000Z

We mark another beginning
To a series of 12 months
That gives credit to time
It's the dawn of the year
Bringing celebration and appreciation
For the life to see another year.

The S.I Unit for Age
Making us older and wiser
Brings hope of a brighter future
The expectation of a miracle
A dream come true
The answer to a prayer.

Time is boundless, but a mirage
Today is tomorrow's yesterday
Once lost, can never be recovered
It's the time when we reflect on our past
In a bid to making our future better
To mend the broken part of our lives.

It's the only 2008 we'll ever see
We need to get the key
To the door of success and fulfilment.
Build on the rock
And not on sinking sand
We must work
To reach the Promised Land

It's 2008
The long arms of fate
Knocks at the gate
We mustn't be late.
Live your life without fear
For the end is near

The Enemy within

2007-12-15T23:20:00.000Z

Dark and pretty woman
In her, I found answers
to the darkest mysteries of Love.
Perfect wife material
She lived up to the criteria
She's every man's dream
The love from her eyes that gleam
Thoughts of the good times we shared
And how she seemed to care
are ever clear in my mind.
She was just what I needed in a woman
But behind her charm
lies the ferocity of a beast

I was sure she was the right one for me
but I was too blind to see
I remember her charming smile
Her soothing voice
Her warm embrace
that made me feel secure
Her presence,
that made me proud to be in love
I thought I had found my missing rib
The way she moves her hips
And the taste of her lips
was enough to make me say "I do"

My mother knew something was wrong
But I had to move along
Assuring her of her qualities,
her humbleness and abilities.
Now I'm legally attached to this monster
The same belle I married
Has given me cause to worry.
The woman I call my wife
Is the sorrow of my life.
The preacher said its "For better or worse"
I must face the trouble that lies ahead
Tolerate and adapt to the enemy within

Behind Bars (The Prisoner's Cry)

2007-11-19T00:00:00.000Z

Sitting in this cold and dark room
Only the walls can hear my cry
The wind blows and the flowers bloom
I look up and ask God "Why"
One wrong decision
Can change a man's destination
I miss the beautiful things of life
I can only catch a glimpse of the sky
And hope for freedom
This is another world of its own
Where life is extremely miserable
I can trade anything to be free
And away from this captivity.
These bars keep me safe within them
Depriving the joys of freedom from me
I'm bound by your spell
Everlasting doors of bondage
I can only pray for the day
I'll see my family again
But I'm too busy being a prisoner
I may not see freedom anytime soon
But I still have faith
Someday I shall be far beyond the reach
of these iron bars
To be called "an ex-convict"
For that's the people verdict.
While I'm still trapped behind these bars
I must strive to survive
To stay alive and worthy of freedom.

Melody in the dark

2007-11-03T01:21:00.000Z

Another long night of sleeplessness
Rolling from side to side
Peering the cold and dark room
Under my blanket I hide

The room is in perfect silence
But for the ticking clock
And the whirling blades of the fan
The night wind crushes against my window

Lying on my bed
Watching the night roll by
A million thoughts in my head
Kissing the day goodbye

Cool romantic music playing
Felt in every cranny of the room
Softly piercing into my spirit
Pleasant to the ears

As I meditate on the lyrics
I find comfort in the room's dark silence
I search my soul deeply
Forming a clear visual picture in my mind
Hoping to find answers

My mind is at unalloyed peace
Deriving pleasure from every musical note.
Music of such magnitude
Creates a perfect atmosphere for solitude
I have found solace in this silent melody.
It rocked me gently to sleep
As I went down, into the deep

Oracle's Prayer

2007-10-09T12:06:00.001Z

Lord,
I still have breath in my lungs
Flowing freely like the wind
I crave for the beautiful things of life
But I’m trapped in a world torn by sorrow and strife
I live my life with uncertainty
Because any minute could be my last.
What is the need for breathing?
Why do I wake up the morning?
If I cannot get the things I need
If I cannot accomplish my purpose for being here
If I cannot lift my head high in pride.
Even in this ever changing world
I hide myself under your wings
From the fiery darts of the enemy.

I grow older with every second that strikes
I become wiser with age on my side
But what is the need for wisdom?
If it cannot be applied
I feel like one who toiled in sun and under the rain
Only to realize my handiwork is in vain
Without anything to gain.
Lord, help me find my purpose
Be the light that shines in my path
That I may not stumble
You keep me in my hours of slumber
You preserve my Life and health
But I repay you with Iniquity.

Lord, I do not ask for riches
Material possession
But I ask that you give my life a pattern
The wisdom to discern
The grace to understand
To never miss an opportunity
To discover my hidden ability
To take charge of my life
And live a life worthy of emulation
To create an impact in people lives
To be an instrument of positive change
To be the key that unlocks the door to someone’s happiness
To be here for a reason.

Many times I go astray
But the Good shepherd will always find the lost sheep
Grant me courage to resist temptation
And the strength to reach my destination.
I know I ask for too much
But my heart’s desire, you will grant
Forgive my sins
The battle I shall win
In your name I pray.

The Cowering soldier (2)

2007-10-01T17:01:00.000Z

The enemy approaches in fury
For a moment, I could see the future
A thousand souls, men will bury
Disrupting the peace of divine nature.
Every second draws them closer
Making one team victorious
And the other, the loser.
We stood still waiting
Like fearless warriors
But we're lambs to the slaughter
Every man has his sword
Waiting for the word

Just a few inches away
I looked to the sky and said a prayer
The war had begun
There no way we can run.
We fought gallantly
Hoping to die as heroes
Or live to tell a story.

The blood of men, wet the land
A sea of heads on the sand
I looked and saw dead men
that meant I was still alive
Still fighting to survive
The enemies were crushed
With spears in their backs
Their journey ended.
They didn't have a story to tell
They laid lifeless in hell
The great heroes that fell
The war has ended
I still have breath in me
We lost many souls to claim the victory
I am not the Cowering Soldier
But the man that overcame his fear to emerge.

I'm Attracted

2007-09-08T00:16:00.000Z

What's the need for Sight
If there's absence of light
Your beauty's dazzling
But no one's harnessing
You're helplessly attractive
Uniquely distinctive
My Glance caught yours
And I can't look away
You're like an open door
I can't ask for a better day.
Although we do not speak
There is a flow of communication
Your Body and soul beckons
Like we're meant to be
A call I must answer
Because there's more to see

I try hard to resist the feeling
But it's worthless
It’s like trying to stay dry on a rainy day
Without an umbrella.
The vacuum in my heart is filling
Volts of excitement
Flowing through my body
For a moment I don't understand myself
I can't control the mechanism of my system
All because I looked into your eyes.

This is one temptation
I cannot overcome
In your eyes I found Redemption
From sadness and boredom
Like two magnets, we attract
I hope I can feel this much longer
As I take every minute slowly
Creating a memorable experience
I don't know if this is Love
And I cannot tell
But one thing I know for sure
I'm attracted.

September

2007-09-01T09:22:00.000Z

It's another September
The ninth month of the year
A month to remember
The fourth month from the rear
The beginning of the year's final quarter
Slowly bringing 2007 to history
September, in your bosom was the world trade centre destroyed
you bring messages of peace and war
It's the month of somebody's birthday
It's the month somebody died.
Thoughts of september creats mixed feelings

We can only ask God for a wonderful September
Worth remembering
As the year slowly comes to an end
Our ways we have to mend
And live our lives rightly
Not just in september
But forever.
It's another wonderful September
I hope we have much to remember.

Success

2007-08-25T02:13:00.001Z

The Road that leads to success is rough
A path designed for the tough
After succeeding, the struggles are a memory
A story to tell tomorrow
Although the experience is terrible
It reminds us of how faithful we have been
To the course of succeeding
And the purpose of excelling
The sacrifices we made
And the prices we paid
We cannot but look to the hills
With hope and expectation
Hard work and steadfastness are the pills
That eradicates failure
When success comes, we smile
A happy feeling of fulfillment
We would never get to our destination
If we never embarked on a journey
A journey that determines
Our reason for living
And course of existence

To get what we need
We must bleed
To the warning, heed
Sow the seed
In order to succeed

Your Awesome Sovereignty

2007-08-15T01:21:00.000Z

From dust you made the man
By your words, the world was formed
The king of Heaven and Earth
Whose kingdom never ends
The Wonder of your mighty hand
Is too mysterious for science to comprehend
The sun giving light by day
And the moon by night
The stars sparkle and tell of your greatness
You created the earth, and all that is within
We live to sing your praises
All lifelong, until the end of time.

You are the light that shines in darkness
Shinning bright, you deface our sadness
The miracle we need in time of trouble
You made the blind to see your face
You made the deaf to hear the sound
The dumb to sing your praise
In you, true love I have found
We are not worthy of the life we have
But abundantly you give
Your unconditional love and divine nature
Proves your awesome sovereignty
You split the red sea
Because you make a path where there is no way
Your Grace is sufficient for me
I have nothing more to say.

The rains fall in due season
You alone know the reason
You made the trees, clouds, the air we breathe
Without you we have nothing
In you we are everything
We live to adore and appreciate Your Awesome Sovereignty.

The Cowering Soldier

2007-08-11T04:02:00.000Z

The battle is here
The time has arrived
For me to prove my worth
But I wish it never came
Because i don't want to feel the agony of defeat
It is only a hercules that wins a battle
I'm no superhero; I'm not ready for this life changing revolution
But I must pass through the fire to get refined.
As the war approaches, I feel shivers that displace my heart
Maybe the heat from the war will drive away my cold
With a bullet in my heart, and my lifeless body on the ground
I imagined my doom.
A tear rolled down my face, but I tried hard to hide my emotions
I need some kind of Miracle to win this battle
I stand in the front line watching the enemy roaring and raging
Every minute draws them closer.
It is time to fight.
I take a deep breath, look to the sky
And move on to change my destiny.

It's August

2007-08-04T17:46:00.000Z

It's another August
The Eight month of the year
A month for the true and just
To live our lives without fear
As time elapses
We learn from our lapses
We're setting goals we must achieve
The accolade we hope to receive
And lift our head in Pride
In love we must abide.
We're awakened to dream
As we cross the stream
There's no one to trust
we're made from the dust
It's another wonderful August

Sunday Morning

2007-07-29T21:10:00.000Z

It's Sunday Morning
Church bells Ringing
The Lord is calling
The choir Singing
Christians sit in church
Waiting for a spiritual touch
It is here we plead forgiveness
From our Iniquities
We can feel his presence
And live our lives in Tranquility

The Preacher stepped on the podium
In an atmosphere devoid of pandemonium
He had a message to deliver
Which made the congregation shiver
About the Coming of the Lord
And the End of Time
This was the spoken word
We have to cross the line
The Church was in total silence
As we felt the word’s essence

The people were filled
With wisdom and knowledge
They were ready to make their lives
Worthy of Emulation
This was a feeling
We experienced once in a week
In a special way
On a Sunday

We see the need to please our maker
That we do not fall prey to the soul taker
The Preacher creates awareness
And demands our readiness
To be counted among the righteous
The courteous and virtuous
That will see the Lord on that day
And leave the world to decay
But, do we have to get this sensation only once in a week?
The Kingdom of God, we must seek
If we would exude holiness to the peak
Righteousness is for everyday of our lives
And not reserved for Sunday morning

Without the Painting

2007-07-25T23:42:00.000Z

Fifteen Minutes in front of the Mirror
Brushing, Cleaning, Dusting, and Painting
Tracing every line without error,
After all the stress, it is worth nothing.
Trying to enhance beauty
But Ignorant of Natural beauty
Her Lips are blood red,
Her eyelashes are pitch black
Her skin is as white as snow
At the culmination of her painting
She stepped out, a puppet,
She's a clown that wouldn't make you laugh
She appears in Colors
In an already colored world

She passes by and all heads turn
She is pleased by the attention she draws
She takes every step skillfully
Because she's a painted Queen.
After the Catwalk and conspicuousness
She goes home to wash off the colors
And begins another round of painting in the morning

Without the painting, she's an angel
She's the perfect picture of nature.
An epitome of Beauty
Illuminating Vivacity
As too much seasoning spoils the soup,
Too much colors ruin the look
Without the painting, she's natural
She's unadulterated and original.

The painting is like addition to perfection
Which makes perfection a counterfeit
You're lovely the way you are
I'll go for a girl without the Painting

Good Night

2007-07-18T01:41:00.000Z

The day is far spent
And every man goes to his tent
It's the dawning of the dusk
A change from light to darkness.
The sun sets in the west
And it is time to rest
Suddenly the sky is covered
With a black cloak
With tiny shiny dots that sparkle
In the big beautiful firmament.
This lovely darkness
Means we have to go to bed

I sit looking at the sky,
I see the sparkling stars
And feel the cool night air
I cannot but appreciate the beauty of nature
But I must soon lay my head
On my beloved bed
And travel far, beyond reach
To a world of fantasy,
To dreamland.
Where life is extremely beautiful
And we never want to come back
I must sleep to dream.
I was determined
To experience this beautiful fantasy.

I walked in and wished the family "Good Night"
Expressed appreciation for God's protection
And i was ready to face what the night had to bring
With a wonderful "Good Night, sleep tight and sweet dreams"
I departed and resurrected in the morning

Have you told a loved one "Goodnight" tonight?

Good Morning

2007-07-14T13:42:00.000Z

Darkness slowly losing its grip of the day
Giving way to the light of the skies
The distinct melody of the crowing cock
Could be heard from a distance.
Serving as the ancient clock.
The genesis of another 24hours
The foundation of a pillar
The beginning of a season,
A new dawn

Awoken by the crow of the cock
Rolling lazily on the bed
Enjoying every minute of the Night
As though it would never end
But the night has delivered the morning
A transition from darkness to light

The door to my eyes have finally been unlocked
Stretching and yawning,
It’s a beautiful morning.
On my knees, I express gratitude
For being numbered in today’s population.
I slowly step out of the room
To know if the others made it.

But they still snore,
And I refuse to ignore
They have not recovered from the shock
Of the silent night.
Silently, with the melody of the birds,
I whisper a sweet “Good Morning Dear”
“How was your Night”?
Let the Joy of the Day Begin.
For it’s a beautiful blessing
To experience a wonderful morning

Have you told a loved one "Good morning" today?

The Lost Sheep

2007-07-10T04:07:00.000Z

Tears rolling down my face
Crying, searching for grace
Memories of the past
Flashes through my mind
This love cannot last
If the bond does not bind
I knelt soaked in tears
I had to face my fears
And seek Forgiveness
Be free from my weakness

A moment of Pleasure
And I've lost my treasure
I couldn't tell what came over me
I was in a state of trance
I'm not the man I used to be
I need another Chance
She stared at me in disbelief
It gave me no relief
To see her heart broken
From my slumber I had woken

She looked at me and began to Cry
She looked to the sky and asked God "Why"
This could lead to Strife
But I love my Wife
I deserved any Punishment for my Crime
Because It was Judgment Time
Amid tears, arms opened Wide
I stood up to hug my Bride
I had been Forgiven
My sins were Forgotten
I'll never forget this day
For I am a lost sheep that found its way.

Time

2007-07-08T18:49:00.000Z

Irreversible constant motion
The Ultimate healer of every wound
Time used is a memory
Time being used is an experience
And time unused is the future.
The reason for ageing
Our close, distant friend
that owes no explanation
for passing by without notice,
Slowly turning our dark hair grey
As we watch our life gradually decay.

The hands of the clock strikes continually
As the future is brought to our doorstep
The last minute becomes history
And history is soon forgotten.
Although we cannot stop time
we can make the best use of it
Time gives us hope of a better future
as darkness slowly becomes morning
or remorse for a terrible past
as we realise it has caused irrevocable damage

It is prudent to ply this seemingly endless journey with caution
Because our close, distant friend is not friendly
Sometimes we want time to move twice as fast
Because we're trying to overcome a difficult situation
or we never want it to end
Because we're enjoying every minute of it
Make wise use of this abundantly scarce commodity TIME

The Idle Mind

2007-06-04T18:26:00.000Z

An Idle mind, the Devil's workshop
Bringing you to the Last Bus stop
The state of being Unengaged
Jobless and receiving no wage
An extreme feeling of boredom
Perfect for the Obtrusion of Temptation
As creepy thoughts gradually crawl in

Maria is in the Kitchen doing the dishes
She can't do better coz she is a housewife
"I wanna work in a Company" she wishes
She craves for more, she needs a better life.
A knock at the door calls her attention
A man walks in to fix the Television
An embodiment of handsomeness
Maria fancies him
One thing leads to another
Some Minutes later John steps into his house
and finds another man in bed with his spouse

Benny had graduated from school
He was always home when everyone went to work
Helpless and lonely, he wandered like a fool
In his boredom someone knocked on the door
Its Benny's school friend Buck
"Benny could you please accompany me to somewhere"
This meant freedom from loneliness he could not bear
They walked through the streets
Under the scorching sun
Suddenly Buck tells him to get into the car
Benny could not tell whose car it was.
Mommy gets back home and can't find Benny
She asks the neighbours about her sonny
She sits for a glass of Juice
As she sees her boy on the 7 o clock news
Benny was charged for snatching a car
He never knew the Police wasn't so far.

If Maria had a job, she would never have gone astray
If Benny was engaged, he would never have gone with Buck
Although they all appeared to be Victims of circumstance
Their minds was idle.
They were manipulated like Chess pieces by the Devil himself
Because their Idle Minds became his workshop

Beauty Without Brains

2007-02-03T03:02:00.000Z

An exquisite Catwalk
on beautiful high heels
Taking every step one by one
on beautiful streets,
Walking with boldness
As she passes, all heads turn
To stare at this fair skinned damsel
She’s the definition of beauty
The culmination of fairness
A creature specially created
She’s probably been overrated
She drives men insane
But she’s a Beauty Without Brains

She uses her natural decorations
To commit numerous abominations
The things she does in the dark
Always shows on her back
Beauty without brains
If only she knew the pains
Her mother went through
Maybe she’d change.
A young charming figure
who boasts of her looks
But cannot figure
what is written in books.
A beauty to behold
So young and bold
She dresses in expensive wears
But has nothing upstairs
She has to walk the right lane
Because she’s a beauty without brains

Hawker Girl

2007-02-02T23:57:00.000Z

Every single day, she passes by
And stirs up a feeling I can’t deny
I’m not so happy about what she does
But in her organization, she’s the boss
A beautiful young girl
Who does nothing but sell,
She has to raise money for the family
Because her parents earn no salary.
A girl with a future so bright
But hasn’t come to see the light,
The light education has to bring
For a new song she will sing

Although I don’t like what she sells
I’m bound to her like a spell
Each time she passes
I cherish the glances
I call her but she says “I’m Dirty”
I tell her “It enhances your beauty”
The dust is powder
She is shy and wants to cry
Whenever she smiles the earth quakes
The ground breaks and the world shakes
I let her know, what she does is not a crime
But she should always wear a smile
She does what she does well
But she’s a hawker girl

My friends tell me I’m losing my integrity
By hanging out with someone so filthy
If only they know what I feel
My burning desire and zeal
For this helpless angel
Maybe they’d never bother
Affection beyond human reasoning
Tastes like food, when added seasoning
My attention, attraction and admiration
Is for no one but the hawker girl.

Temptation

2006-12-22T02:21:00.000Z

Strong desire to stray and go the wrong way
Deception so intense, attraction immense
Answering the call leading to a great fall
An action taken with uncertainty
which brings about remorse

The course for leaving the right track
The reason for having a flaw
The sweeter looking part of two choices
The fall of the great tower

Succumbing to the sweet deceptive voice,
Is like a crack in the chain,
which slowly becomes a break
and leads to damage

Temptation, the thief of ethics
Harbinger of shame
Reproach to humanity
Deprives one of nobility

An attractive force so powerful
Almost impossible to overcome
The wise will always resist temptations
Though it is not easy, it requires endurance

Yielding to temptation shows weakness
It is the picture of a drowning man
Who catches the straw
It is the trap you almost didn’t fall into
Once fallen, the action cannot be undone

Overcoming proves your worth
And makes a man stronger
And ready for the next challenge
It is more rewarding to overcome
The thief of happiness: TEMPTATION

Grace

2006-11-21T17:47:00.000Z

Favor Unmerited, Love Inherited
Freely given yet beyond measure
Priceless grace accepted without objection
Kindness expressed Joyfully
Grace is Love, Love is of God
Offered without a grudge.
The second chance that wasn’t deserved
The accolade awarded to a loser
Having the assurance of victory
Becoming an overcomer

Grace is mercy for punishment
Kindness for judgment
Though humans remain Obstinate
God’s grace is sufficient.
Even when we fall, he will call
And make us stand up tall
Grace is pardon to the offender
Forgiveness to the sinner
Simply Unmerited Favor

I WOULDN'T SAY

2006-10-02T18:34:00.000Z

I wouldn’t say that I am resistant to temptation
But I’ll try hard to resist
I wouldn’t say that I won’t be attracted to someone
But I’ll keep loving you
I wouldn’t say I can’t stop loving you
But while the game is on, we play it
I wouldn’t say I am flawless or a perfect lover
But together we’ll correct our mistakes
I wouldn’t say you were caught by my charm
But you loved me the way I am
I wouldn’t say there won’t be trials
But our reaction would determine our victory
I wouldn’t say there won’t be sad times
But we won’t let it exceed itz limit
I won’t say I’ll always be there for you
But when I’m not, know that I’ve always wanted to,
Know itz a circumstance beyond my control

There are many things I won’t want to say
But you know as well as I do that they may happen
Our love is very much stronger.
And though the bond that keeps us close together could break
Letz keep it unbreakable while we can.

Mother

2006-08-16T07:46:00.000Z

Forgetting your love is Insanity
Reciprocating your kindness, my responsibility
My world reflects around you,
You taught me the things to do
Survival, existence couldn’t have been much easier,
Without you by my side.
You gave me life just when I thought of dying
You gave me confidence when I didn’t have any
You made me strong when the going was tough
You made a man out of a boy.

Everyday I give thanks to the most high
For giving me such wonder
Whose love takes me to the sky
Your image I will never plunder
Happy to have felt a mother’s touch
I hope someday
i will appreciate the affection once felt
Under your arms
Just to show that I love you.

Jilted

2006-08-16T07:40:00.000Z

My heart is broken, though no words spoken
My mind opened, to receive a love that will never be given
You were my light, so bright you shone and defaced every darkness
Your smile crushed every sadness
But when I look at the sky
I have reason to cry
Because I’m JILTED

Deep inside I bleed, coz I’m in dire need
A wound that can only be healed,
By the feeling of your warm touch
The absence of you makes me empty
I’m filled with so much grief
All I have is tears, pain and loneliness
Only the walls can hear my cries
Because I’m JILTED

Come back my love
You are as sacred as a dove
My life will never be complete
Without you by my side
Wealth cannot give the comfort
Your love brings
What is money without love
I Love you and I don’t wanna be
JILTED

The Internet

2006-07-25T17:33:00.000Z

The internet is one great technological thing that has kept people going, think of the long hours you spend in front of the screen surfing, a time you definitely cannot spend doing something else, think of being awake probably all through the nite typing, chatting, bloging, mailing, posting, recieving and all that, but whatever you do just let it be good.
A whole lot of people abuse the privilege of being on the net and use their talents negatively, this is no more news as a lot of people have fallen victim or fallen prey to these fraudulent talented guys.
why the word talented? "Talented" because these guys are really gifted but they tend to exercise or utilise their talents negatively, it takes brains to convince and decieve somebody completely.
thatz the talent we're talking about, itz not really easy talking people out of doing what they do coz thatz probably their livelihood but tell me how you would feel if you were the one who fell prey to the ferocious fraudsters ready to devour any mugu. guys can always invest their talents in honest means of aquiring wealth, it requires hardwork though but it definitely leads to success and thatz the spirit, the spirit of doing what is right.
personally i won't say i'm some kinda genius or something coz i alwayz believe there's always something to learn and thatz exactly what i always try to do.
the point is NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, JUST DO WHAT IS RIGHT
love from THE ORACLE

Broken Homes

2006-07-22T18:06:00.000Z

Daddy yelling, Mummy weeping, Children watching,
hearts are broken though no words spoken,
the thief of marital bliss, breaks the peace
making them forget the vows taken
on the day of their first kiss.
Daddy must be filled with anger
as mummy's presence constitutes danger
if only they could settle down and resolve their differences
together, forever strengthen their weaknesses
from their faces erase the frown
never to let their union drown.

if only mummy would submit and daddy admit
maybe this would never had happened
their hearts opened to recieve and minds ready to believe
then the bleeding heart would heal and passion they will feel
once again the sun has risen, all darkness is driven
as joy, peace and love is restored
to the blessed union,
their promises honored
with joyful communion

Praise.

2006-07-17T13:31:00.001Z

Life is like an endless journey
where we see things that are rather funny
we come across a lot of hurdles
which may come in bundles
raging like a roaring storm
they come to plough us down
we forget that we have a supreme being
who cares and forgives, no matter the sin
our existence on earth is by his grace
and all he desires is his praise

The holy book says that prayer moves mountain
but God inhabits his praise like a fountain
That which the Lord desires his Children should offer
for he answereth by fireThat we may not suffer
what then shall it profit us
to live our lives each day
itz like we're in a moving bus
that has lost itz way
our existence on earth is by his grace
and all he desires is his praise

No place like home.

2006-07-08T00:17:00.000Z

I have searched everywhere in the world
but no place gives me joy like home.
Home may not neccesarily mean the house you live in
but wherever you come from is your home.
a whole lot of people have gone out of home,
and have decided not to come back,
perhaps they feel there is more they can get outside.
But if you would never have chances of making it in your home,
then God would never have given you such a home.
there is freedom, joy and a sense of belonging we feel,
when we are at home, because there is no place like home
East or west, Home is the Best.
All those who have left their motherland should return
for the greener pastures lie at home.

It is morning at last

2006-07-07T02:43:00.000Z

Sometimes life gets so hard
that we think such problems do not have an end
Burdens, Worries and troubles started somewhere
and they will definitely have their end.
The night may be dark, fearful, long and silent
but the morning will definitely come with joy.
It is so bright, beautiful and Blissful.
the fact that freedom, joy or justice is delayed
does not mean it will never come
it is just at your doorstep and giving up
will not be a good idea at that point
because you will have course to smile and say
"It is morning at last".

Your love

2006-07-06T22:15:00.000Z

In a cool, ambient environment
when im struck by boredom
Boredom almost impossible to flinch
then your love ignites my world
with bright, viable colors
colors that are hardly quenched
Love is that sensation that i feel
whenever itz just you and me

Love is not self willing but free giving
your love for me keeps the fire burning
the heart beating and the blood flowing
that is why i never have to leave
When I know there is affection and passion
All stuffed up for no one but me
There is nothing more I need in this world
But the happiness your love brings
