SOUNDS

Peals of laughter
High-pitched squeals
All-day long it's banter,
Play appointments and candy deals.
Sounds of freedom
Sounds of childhood.

Ring tones and message beeps
Thumping speakers and camera flashes
"Childish" nature is no longer for keeps
So true identity lies in ashes
Sounds of apparent sophistication
Sounds of adolescence.



Hawkers and hooters
The rush and the traffic jams
And mundanity breeds aggravators
Desiring escape from their world's noisy hum
Sounds of jadedness
Sounds of adulthood

My Nemesis

I see the love all about me
All the pegs fitting smugly in their holes
With the exception of one, of course-me
All i have left are the sores, still a bright red
From trying to fit into holes where i didn't belong
Or was simply not needed
From making others my priority
While i remain nothing more than a formality
A mere afterthought
Now i'm sitting here reminiscing
And i realize it's all I've wanted my whole life
Which i've never found
And doesn't seem like i ever will
The tears are only a constant reminder
Of the outcast the world perceives me to be
But i smile through them
Forcing myself to acknowledge that maybe
That's just how it was meant to be
And hoping that one day, i'll see sunlight
Where dark clouds once were
And have someone i can finally call
Friend.

Dumbfounding Love..

I stand in amazement
At your dumbfounding love
Even in sin when I deserved judgement
Cauldrons of mercy you sent from above

My mind can’t fathom why
An epitome of a blameless person
Would ditch His heavenly place to die
For sinners bound to worsen

Even after all this
We rejected your pierced hand
And lived in feigned bliss
Yet You called us yours, you gave us the brand

We were on the path to eternal doom
From the poisoned chalice we drank
Even then You never once did fume
Even when of sin we stank

Patiently from darkness, you turned our hearts away
Reached out Your hand, and drew us close
Called us back when we went astray
Fed us with love-overdose

Now as Christians, in splendid isolation we stand
With your scriptures as our traffic lights
Guiding us to The Promised Land
We proudly call ourselves The Savior’s Knights.

(No Title Yet)

Its been years since your departure
But it still feels like only yesterday;
I remember the day oh so clearly
Its like you never went away;
Its been hard living with the sad truth that your gone
But i can do nothing except move on;
Accept the past as past
And embrace the future;
Pray and hold on to the possibility
That your soul is safe and not in danger;
Because just as the sun rises and eventually sets
So do mortals live and eternally rest.
