Miracles, rarely practiced

         Miracles, rarely practiced

The gentle hand and its stately magic,

Lights a fading heart, the fallen and tragic,

Its soft touch, as overtakes the gloom,

The waned passions, surge and bloom!

 

Lo the stunning magic, of a kind smile,

May enliven the ashen face, in a while,

Throwing a spell, the sullen face over,

Embellish it, aye charisma shall hover!

 

And mesmeric, the rule of a kind word,

The choicest pearl; a rarity in the world,

Many a grievous bruise, aye ‘twill heal,

From a dejected heart, the hurts steal!

 

O behold the power, of a listening ear,

Abating the horrors; of sting and fear,

The pent up emotions, discover voice,

As the crest-fallen, learn their choice!

 

Behold the command, of a compliment,

Truthful, and loaded with blithely scent,

An idyllic whiff, for overwhelmed mind,

To brighten it up, in very pink-rosy kind!

 

Enjoying the rapture, of an act of caring,

Meliorating a life around, great blessing!

Sharing, caring and the conjoint binding,

Are the beads of rosary, always turning!

My Endeavors Leap to a Surge

-
               My endeavors leap to a surge   My soul’s with Divinity blest, well-knit and strong, From cavern I’ll soar and pipe my melodious song, Tearing thru the numbness of stillness to the flare, I’ll balm the grieving heart and many a Satin dare!   Earned comforts bestrew my path, nay by chance, Silver to flashing gold, scintilla glow up and dance, And will illumine the benighted path, lying before, I’ve picked up the lost ends, pearls to dot my shore.   I shalt shape my fate and fashion it with pious will, My hopes abound, my endeavors surge with thrill, I’ve accursed the curse and nevertheless fate too, With the throb of emboldened heart, I’ll walk true.   Amid the throng, I shall be towering beyond hoax, My soul stands naked with truth, envy for the folk, I’ve ditched caverns, sky remains my frontier to fly, My odyssey, my sojourn, applaud me whereto I eye.   My dear son, ...

My Dear Parents

-
Where shall I see your generous faces? Of unique love where wi ll I find traces? Here’s a void expanding every moment, N one  look up to, and I’m left to lament.   Your sweet voices often ring in my ears, To  solitude I’m confined for many years, The mellowness of yore hast turned gall, My tale of   infirmity runs gloomy and tall.   Parental fort has crumbled, in ruins I walk, Silence is my mate, ah there’s none to talk, In the wilds of my heart stripped of bloom, I fret  and fume, so no bl iss shall  find room.   A ttire s, articles  and  clothes are but lifeless, Arrayed but sans a  wearer , a h my distress! What a dismal abyss? I’m to wallow again, Cut and bruis ed deep,  surely I  never feign !   Pensively sauntering streets I feel ye beside, I glance aside, ah I’m alone on barbs astride, May that highest of heavens be your abode, Of glorified vales, therein gems have flowed.   Bye my parents!  You left ...

The Lambent Blaze

-
                  The Lambent Blaze The lambent blaze, oft' in your eyes, Hints a blatant answer to some whys, Done, what all seemed a task so afar, Keep up and someday you'll be a star.   On horizons where you perceived dark, With brilliant flare you'll chant like a lark, A road lies afore you, strewed with glee, The shackles are broken, ye are set free.   Like an eagle, discard pigmies and soar high, Depression's their abode, to fester and sigh, You're a darling of your home and its charm, Raised and spruced in love lo none to harm.   Bring forth the goodness in bosom hidden, Steal the show, amaze all, Lord hast bidden, In pastures and gardens swirl like fragrance, With scent of a rose, numb a sane to trance.   For us all you are a blessed soul and infinite gift, The unwavering anchor for those who are adrift, Your worries will pass away in the blink of an eye, Phases of melancholy and sadness ha...
