Happy Mother's Day

I wish all mother's a fantastic day and many more years of laughter and joy a mother could ever experience

IN MY WORLD

 

My short life is a loan

For my failures, only I is to blame

And when the day is done

The earth absorbs my moan

In my world

I choose not to be grief-stricken

And absorbed in the ills of the world

The amplitude of my hopes

No one can debunk

As a fish gasps for breathe

When it’s tossed into earth

So do I walk in pursuit of bliss

That cannot be felt

When pleasure becomes incapacitated

Deeply and tightly

In contempt’s seizure

I refuse to allow the strings of hope break

And the melody of life flow out of key

For then we hear the echoing silence of brokenness

My salivating tongue languish in famish

I have spoken and acted without rest

My belief: a little faith can move mountains

Our world my be hopeless

But mine is hopeful

I dutifully wait and cling unto thin ropes

As I am faced with unavoidable loopholes

I want like a deserted wife

Longing for her lover’s homecoming

As the ocean hasten to the sandy shore

And pride dines with prejudice at ego’s table

My heart budges to the soothing succour

Of the simple fact that I still live on

It’s our world

Influenced individually by us

Where there’s a will there’s a way

All for one, one for all

 

Have faith

Look at yourself now; you're at home in

your room. You keep on putting on a smile

but you're not happy at all. You keep on

telling your friends that everything is okay

but at heart you have deep thoughts. You

look at the pictures of the person your

heart yearns for; you admire happy

couples that you find taking cute pictures

together, you're thinking you'll be forever

alone. Seriously you're tired of being

lonely and single. You keep on praying to

God for a change but… You have failed to

find someone to love you the way you are

and you're thinking that because you don't

have the stunning face, the thinnest body,

an expensive car, oodles of money, the

clearest skin, and other attractive features

could be the reason why. But you know

what my friend? Wait. Wait for someone

special to accept you with all the

imperfections you carry. I know you might

be seeing everything wrong with yourself,

but someone will come in your life and

he/she will see everything right for him/

herself. Stop thinking that you were

cursed, or bewitched, just relax and wait

for what you deserve. Don't rush because

the best is not so far from you. God has

something cooking up for you

Music in Me

 

These aren’t just notes that I play…

What this is, is a confluence

A meeting of music, ideas and love

The piano… a musical conduct

The keyboard… a forum for chromatic dialogue

Dialogue between ebony and ivory

Working together, labouring to produce…

Magic

When I play, I don’t just play the instrument

I gently caress the delicate keys…

Like a gentle, passionate kiss

This is love

The music and I are one

A celebration of life, melded in symphonic ecstasy

I rise above myself and look down at what I do

As though God himself, speaks to me

And in his magnificence… tells me:

“This is who you are… share your joy!

Bring forth the gift of music to the multitudes!”

I put my heart in my hands,

My fingers glide forth

I am guided by the divine rite of our creator

He, who gave me this precious gift of the pastoral,

Hewn frond the lathe of Heaven

It is a feeling of sheer happiness and joy

As I am rapt with serendipitous anticipation

A sense of invincibility permeates my cause

My corporeal being, transmuted to dramatic energy

Profound peace and inner rejuvenation…

This is what I find, when I play

Be it for myself, or for others

The feeling is the same

The music I write, is my second language

I answer to a higher authority, I’m blessed

It’s only when I play, that I feel what I was meant for

I want to share my joy, my spiritual release

For only music soothes the savage beast

These aren’t just notes that I play…

It is magic!
