“Void
Revelation”
Depravity at its zenith,
His life without meaning.
Wondering through the jungle,
Devoid of feeling.
Sensing an encounter with death,
That is endlessly creeping.
Aware of the inevitable,
He reflects on the past.
Remembering many fond memories,
Of summer’s blast.
Oh, how sweet where the days,
That today are in contrast.
As a man journeys through life,
Arriving at his destination.
He becomes cognizant,
Of the surreal manifestation.
Life and death are absolutes,
And the journey a void revelation.
Unearthing the hidden treasure,
The journey comes to an end.
Death overwhelms the conscious,
All that appears to be doesn’t blend.
An image difficult to grasp,
Of a life not so grand.

“Eternally”
An eternal blessing was bestowed upon me,
The day you came into my life.
You filled it with splendor,
Setting adrift my emptiness on a block of ice.
You helped me express my emotions,
When words wouldn’t come out.
Telling me that when two people love each other,
Sentiments of the heart sometimes must shout.
You opened my eyes,
When the weight of tears kept them closed.
With rays of warmth you melted away all the empathy,
My heart had previously for decades hosted.
You encouraged me to believe in our relationship,
By setting united goals.
With smiles of confidence you assured me,
We’d achieve them with heart and soul.
Today you are my reason for singing,
The inspiration behind the words to this song.
‘Cause from the moment you took my hand in yours,
I knew in that instant that with you I belong.
My commitment to adore and love you,
You’ll never find to be more sincere or true.
‘Cause from this moment,
I vow my love eternally to you!

Blessed
Saint
Mothers who give life, Making all kinds of sacrifice.
Always giving of self,
Graciously bestowing love and wisdom’s wealth
Never withholding comfort’s charm,
Embracing child with open arms.
Mending all that’s wrong,
Healing wounds with compassion’s wand.
Edifying, guiding the chosen ones,
Towards life sacred pond.
Desiring to instill lessons,
Experienced through dramas progression
To you, Blessed Saint,
Whom we honorably commemorate.
Let us express our appreciation,
On this day of jubilation.
With a token of gratitude,
Etched in love’s plenitude.
For meaning and reason,
You give to each season.
Thus on Mother’s Day,Our hearts silently pray.
Petitioning the Lord’s grace,
To shine upon your face.
For His peace to abound,
Sweet blessings to rain down.
Upon all saintly mothers,
Our precious and treasured flowers.
Happy Mother’s Day, Blessed Saint!

Dancing
Sudsy flakes descending-
Forming mountains
Of white.
Feet, hands, bones,
Can’t touch.
Chain linked fences, windows
Cloaked in steel
Objects of obstruction.
Manacles taut--preventing
The free spirit
From taking flight.
Depriving the creature
To moisten its wings
Under heaven’s tears.
Yet the quest to imprison
Couldn’t subjugate
The mind
From dancing in
The Snow.
top Fatuity is daft
An invitation arrived
seeking my soul
to attend satan’s
ballroom
gala.
Embracing destiny,
the preparation to
tangle bestialities
seems surreal.
Yet the knowledge
of paradise--
Mamboing with angels,
obliterates death’s sting.
Gurney, needle,
three cocktails of poison
execution nigh.
Suddenly it dawns
on me that
this unparallel
fatuity is daft.
top
Death
Walking
Yo dude!
You have a visitor
How much time
Do you need.
Five minutes will
Suffice.
Cuffs, shakles-
Taut.
Three deep for
Miserly old me
The journey through
The gallows of
Death row commences.
Danger looms
Silence permeates
The air
Halls cleared of
Intruders
Wanting to see
Death
Walking on
Two feet
Before eternal
Sleep comes.
top
Epicedia
Reaching for the moon,
Crumbs on empty spoon.
Hustle difficult to understand,
riches evaporate in hand.
Wisdom refuses to rejoice,
Mankind’s foolish choice.
Mind boggled by rages,
Death and life in cages.
Toying with the smell,
Sinking rapidly into hell.
Failure to heed change,
Your existence became derange.
top
"WEB OF DECEIT"
You said another love,
I would not find.
Professing to love me,
Promising to be mine.
Never conveying the depths.
Of hearts frivilous lies.
You weaved your web,
Capturing sentiments loyally true.
Yet you trampled disregarding,
Emotions devoted to you.
Leaving me broken-hearted,
Devastatingly sad and blue.
With passage of time,
Heart began to mend.
The carnage left behind,
By deceits scorching brand.
Shattered images of love,
Reconstructed with loving hands.
Your mouth spoke truths,
Your love is unique.
But I'll be damned,
To your love seek.
Bury me upside down,
If a glance I sneak.

STRANGLED FOREVER
Last night
I watched you
pass by--
sporting white
chiffon.
At first glance
rhythmic palpitation
ceased to beat.
Enthralled by the
majestic beauty--
the heart's jolted
into an erratic,
mind blowing
explosion similar
to a congero
making love to
his drum.
As I contemplate
the splendor of
your flawless
gown--
my peripheral vision
catches sight of
the intricately
woven train
strangling our
forever--
as you solemnly vow
till death
do us apart
to my nemenis.
top
Obsequy
Brick by brick
tomb stone set.
Your final resting
place. The eulogy
highlighted your
lows-no recognition
of accomplishment.
Here we gather to
pay tribute to a
lawless man who
gambled his life
away-zealously
destroying hearts,
lives and self.
Greatness within
reach perdition
obliterated a
bright future,
bring with it
death's sting.

"You"
I travelled to the moon,
came back with a delicious
spoonful of---YOU!
I soared to the seventh
heaven, to find paradise
resembled---YOU!
I touched the stars and
found your name imprinted
on every one--YOU!
Walked from one corner
of the universe to the
other, and seen all creatures
big and small praising---YOU!
It was in retrospect,
the happiest day in my life,
to realize all my heart
beats is---YOU!
