Come To Me!


Another mistake have I made,
Yet again have I faltered!
A rudderless ship I sail,
With a stormier sea than before!
A scent do I breathe,
That fragrance do I so well know.
Through the splashing of the waves,
The thunder and lightning,
The drumroll of the rain,
I hear a voice I have long known,
Its melody does invigorate me.
"Come to me," he said says!
I look around and see him,
Flying high above the dark clouds.
His wings larger, his light brighter!
He guides me through the storm,
Battling endlessly with the hail and the wind,
He beckons to me.
"Have I not taught you my son,
My God is bigger than all storms?
Do you not remember you are my son, a fighter?
These storms ate me not, and neither will they you!
Fear not for I am with you!
You are my child, my fruit.
My God will protect you, wherever you go.
My light will guide you, my voice will lead you!
Be not dismayed, for I am with you until,
You too receive that coveted crown,
And join me here in His Paradise!"
He flies away through the clouds,
Making them separate.
The warmth of the sun rests,
On my drenched body.
My Lord, my Liege,
I thank you!
I see the shore,
My home, for now my Paradise!

Soon It Will Be Mother's Day!




Soon It Will Be Mother's Day!


Yes that day of the year,
Surely comes to us near.
Where accolades and salutations,
Are showered with resolutions.
To honour the most important woman,
God has bestowed in our humble lives.
She may be strict and scolding at times,
Yet bore you she in her womb for nine!
Imagine then the pains of labour,
The life which grew inside her,
Comes out now with anger.
She nurses, nurtures and cuddles,
Her child, her world, her all.
She cooks and cleans and earns,
Yet only a day she is given.
And not a dime for being a mother,
The toughest ask on this earth!
Wait not for that day my fellows, 
For everyday she deserves love and honour.
Everyday should be her day, 
Lest the rest of your days be,
An aftermath of pains, sorrows and regrets!
And remember this my friends, 
No act of yours will repay all that she has done,
Not in a hundred lifetimes.
I pray may you not find yourself asking,
What if I had done this.... for her?

My Liege! My Lord!




My Liege! My Lord!


Though not long it has been,
Centuries to me it seems.
To say without thee life is impossible,
Is a infinite belittlement!
Yet O Father,
Thou watchest over me,
Over thy kingdom.
Thy God still protects us. 
Thy spirit still rides the tamed beasts,
And flies freely in the skies high.
I stand here today at thy resting place,
And swear an oath to thy dust.
No harm shall befall thy kingdom my Liege!
Life's tempests may roar the loudest,
Yet I shall honour and protect those that are thine,
Till the last drop of crimson.
There may come foes new and old,
I shall roar like thou taught me to,
I shall win every battle with thy grace and blessings.
For to emulate thee,
Is not that which I can transort if I wished to.
My sole ambition is and will be,
To let thy Legend live on,
To let thy kingdom prosper,
To protect thy lineage with my blood!
For thou art greatness My Liege!
For thou art magnanimity my Lord!

Know!




Know!


Try as hard as you can my love.
Deny as much as you want to,
But know this for an infinite truth,
That when you look in the mirror,
You see yourself wrapped in me.
When you close your eyes to sleep,
You wish to dream,
 Of showering your love on me,
Of wanting to break free,
From all the norms and taboos,
And wanting not to awake,
From the sweet pain of slumber.
Know that when you awake, 
You want to see my face and smile.
For you know I am a keeper.
With all the differences two can have,
You know I will always be,
There by your side,
When you grow old and weary.
When your bones have given way,
And when talking about our past,
Will not hurt so much,
For we will be holding our hands tightly,
Knowing only death can do us part!

Speak!




Speak!

Speak, she says to me,
Talk of your love for me.
For once we spent hours doing so.
And now there is a silence!
Yet my words scream out my love.
Can you not hear them,
In the sound of the keys you type?
Can you not listen to,
The wind hitting against your window?
For it carries my words with it, 
The wind.
Hear my proclamation, Beautiful!
In the sound of the heels you wear,
And hear the breeze blow when you smile.
But most importantly my love,
Hear your heart skip a beat,
When you see me, when you think of me.
You have shunned me away.
All that I had is lost,
So too the little sanity I once acquired.
Yet I hope to gain,
You and your love.
And find me you will, waiting here,
Speaking words you may never hear.

Bury Me There!




Bury Me There!


The Land YHWH has promised,
The Land of olives, of milk and honey.
The Land where The Messiah hath walked.
The Land of orchards, of gardens and figs,
The Holy Land of Your Prophets Lord.
The Land where the sweet rivers flow.
Where King David played to please you,
Where King Solomon built Your House.
Bury me there my brothers and sisters.
What more can I ask,
What more honour can I desire.
Bury me there O Thou Great Jehovah!
Let me fight for Thy Chosen Ones,
Let me be their servant,
Let me shed my sweat and blood for them,
Let me be Thy slave Adonai!
Hear my prayer O Elohim!
How can I not love Thy Land?
How can I not be a slave to Your people?
Is it not from King David's line,
That The Messiah hails?
The world rejects them,
As it did Your Son The Messiah.
Have mercy on them Lord!
Let Zion be blessed my Lord!
Let all those who love it be blessed!
Shower it with Your Mercy and Love!
May its rivers flow with milk and honey!
May the birds, the creatures find rest in it!
May Your people be blessed forevermore!
May they be a beacon to others!
And may it come to pass,
What You have planned for Jerusalem!

In K-Town




In K-Town


This, my city, what they now call K-Town,
Is where you and I grew up sweeheart.
It is this city, where our childhood's memories are.
I'm walking on that famous beach,
The 'chai-wala' blares out to me,
The kids, run around, shouting for joy.
I tread on these sands, I see its grey and white,
Stuck on to my feet,
And I hope one day we will hold onto each other,
The same way,
As coarse as I may be like this sand.
I walk these streets,
I drive my busted up car around this city.
Passing by those places you....
But wait, was I not with you just now,
In your new, distant land?
There where law is supreme.
There, no power lines are seen. 
There where the sun shines brighter,
Though not brighter than you.
Where a river flows through your city,
And we walked its streets,
Unafraid, clinging onto each other,
Holding onto our love.
Yeah, I'm in K-Town,
The camel on its beach nearly runs over me.
This city I shall soon abandon,
As you did me.
No I will not travel to you,
Nor am I saving up to,
For near you I may be,
But long distance never works.
Has the new, clean air you breathe polluted you?
Yeah, l am in K-Town.
