Poetry: The World
The world is standing on her crown
Her skirt’s open to outer space
Everything is seen in delusion
For rebellion like a thick fog mantles the atmosphere

Poetry: No Dissatisfaction
Right now I could have questions
Happenings I wish I could know why
Like some difficult temptations
I hope He would explain by and by.
When in glory I see His face
I would know why sometimes He let me feel forsaken
Saying “sufficient for you is my grace”
-Even when my only consolation was the hope of heaven.
But then I have [...]
Poetry: Anger
Anger seethes like boiling water
When you release it by force -
Scathing and hurting – sorry for who gets burnt
And yourself limp, sapped and choking with remorse.
But when suppressed within
Its steam rises to clog the mind
And the heat would not escape
So its pressure prevails to subject body and soul
To an ugly sickly feeling…
Poetry: Small World
Now and then a stranger or event
rings a familiar bell
and I’m caught wondering
how it’s a small world really.
Everyday history repeats itself
happenstance has run out of new tricks
in its magic bag
because it’s a small world by and large [...]
Poetry: Chance
When the dials of a lottery machine spin
and hearts beat to match it’s fast clocking,
it may seem like the dials have a mind of their own
and with centripetal resolution know where they’re going.
But when the pointer finally rests, the result is nothing new;
so neither faith, fate or mechanical force can take the glory,
but mere chance [...]
Poetry: The Prostitute
Once again from my window
Down across the street she roams-
Half bare, fancy hair, fancy cheap adornments
Obtrusive even in the dark.
A clanging disturbance from my left… I turn
At the approaching roar of a rickety truck
It slows down at her –as if- regardful, then speeds on
Coughing thick smoke and dust.
She turns her head angrily, wrinkling her nose.
Then, [...]
Poetry: Love Mine
Food for the body or the body for food
But love is the soul’s good
And joy is in its fill.
One blessed with love knows best the thrill
Of loving others: helping them to feel.
Love a man and you would help him love another
This is love’s geometric magic love’s thrill
Love for the world and the world for love
Yeah! [...]
Poetry: The story of a saviour’s love
When we were swallowed in sin and swollen in pride
A saviour loved us;
When the gulf between us and him grew ever so wide
His heart reached out to us.
When for the remission of our sins He bore the cross
He fully proved His love to us
Yet when we regarded this great sacrifice like it were mere dross
He [...]
Poetry: Be not far from me
Self is frail; alone, the way is grim
I need someone who can always support me
Journeying thru this world a pilgrim
No help like Jesus can ever be.
.
.
Fallible is human might and manly power
in the never failing rock I hide,
If friends betray me and trust turns sour
O my ever faithful God! His love will yet abide
