Happenings




Whatever happens, happens for good... 

A city happens, history happens, 
Leaves and flowers happen.
The inebriated earth holds all happenings,
as it were, on a stage in display. 

If you bump into a tree 
they will call you blind, for, 
blindness too happens like death
like the noontide in the black sea. 


What is freedom then? 
Is it another happening in this 
world stage of eternal becoming? 
Do I have no choice in anything? 
Have I too happened without the freewill of my Maker

The Direction




Hold firm O Man, 
the oar of morals, 
as you sail through life. 

As the tempest of trouble approaches,
fear not and anchor your mind, 
to your faith on God. 

The waves of emotion will soon settle 
and you will find direction
that approaches to a peaceful destination...
(a successful end of life).

Rotting



Plugged and placed to beautify
In a vase golden lined,
For few days, For few eyes.

The water half full, Betraying...
Giving hope to buds
who still wait to bloom.

Pleasure seeking eyes
raping her innocence,
vermiculating on petals each time.

Stands tall the Flower,
Still smiling wide for 
the ROTTING beneath to hide.
