WHEN
When: we smile, not to court unease, we listen, not to stir doubts, we intone, not to undermine confidence, we agree, not to encourage hopelessness; We exhibit faith in the other; and transform despair into elation, doom into destiny, death into life. We have lived, continue to live; and Our short...

Truth and Consequences
You say you know me well; Then always tell me the truth. I will be no greater foe, I will be no less a friend, When you tell me the truth. You say you know me well; Then never tell me a lie. I will be no better friend, I will be no less a foe, When you tell me a lie. You say you know me well; Expect...

SO CLOSE
You are so endearing, do not ask for much You lay on the mat, curl on the couch. Caress my pillow with your clutch. You stay on my bed, on my stomach you lay You stroke on my cheek, endear with your paws Extend your tentacles in play. Awake in the morning, with the dissonance of night. You stare...

MY RETURN
I have been away so long You don’t know me anymore; I have been away so long You don’t feel my rap at the door; Yet, I love you no less than when I left, You are whom I cared about Whether I stayed awake or whether I slept. Many eons have come and gone Our hairs have replaced their hue; Many eons...

MY JOURNEY
I stand at the crossroads Not knowing where to go Each way is similarly inviting To the same end the other leads. I peer in the distance As far as beyond the bend The trails are equally verdant With thorns, thistles, and reeds. I take the one that’s easiest As trodden as the other prescribed Deep...

REALITY
There are times you’ll not be your best; There are times you’ll fail the test. There are times when you need to rest, To nurture and protect the brood in the nest. There are times you’ll not reach high; There are times you’ll be content with a sigh. There are times you must even cry, To let the...

Beyond Today
That I love you, and you love me, Is a story that will be forever told When decades and centuries are gone; When today’s pennies are converted to gold. Choirs and choruses will sing, Cymbals, ivory, wind, and strings, Plebeians, patricians, queens, and kings, Will venerate with wit and dispassionate...

RESOLUTION
Resolve to love your neighbour Embrace your enemies too. Does not take any labour Truly not very hard to do. Greet each morning’s sunrise Whether visible or not. Your smile; no display of malice Most enduring treatise you’ve got. Pass each day by knowing Tomorrow assured is not. Postponing love and...

Christmas
C radled in a lowly manger H alcyon in swaddling clothes. R epresented His Father as God, I rreverent of Pilate and Herod. S ubliming repentance of one’s sins, T riumphed over death and torment. M aking intercession for all men, A scended to heaven; and as planned S itteth at the Almighty’s right...

HE
All men were His friends No one ever His foe. An enigma to the end, Foretold, He had to go. He came one snowy night, Nary a place to stay. Parents in panic and fright, Deposited Him on the hay. So revered and so despised, As no one has or will. Royal fiats sealed His demise, Yet He remains with us...
