She lay quietly
submitted to the
warmth of my
body wrapped
so softly and
gently in my arms
feeling safe,
unperturbed by
the noise outside.
She lay asleep,
her breath so
soft on my cheek.
The flicker of
the moonlight reflects
on her face
as she lay
sleeping.
Her beauty as
if from another
sphere reminding me
the fairytale
of the mermaid.
She entangled her
leg around my
feet as if
she never wants
me to leave
her alone thereby
unwittingly forcing
me to lay
still until i
finally dozed off.
As I slept,
i dreamed of her.
I dreamt about us
playing in the garden
surrounded by beautiful
flowers and drinking
nectars from all
kinds of edible
flowers in honey water.
She looked into
my eyes to
make a toast
and as our
silver cup touched,
i woke up.
I woke up refreshed.
It was just a dream.

overwhelming power,

awesome and
captivating,

Joyful tenderness
in the morning
and a blissfully

the night.
My soul is at peace

Look in the mirror I think
There's something on your teeth
You see how easy it is to smile

The day you
cried in the
rain,
did it really
washed off your
pain.
A day after
the rain fall,
was it actually
your turn.
To be in
love with you,
is it not
a good thing.
All came out
because it is
the time.
There's something
on your teeth,
let me see it.
You see it's
not so hard
to smile.
It gets easier
by the day.
Be assured,
it can only
get better.
You are the
one to decide
which way your
life goes.
Plan to work
out your plans
and finally reach
your goal.
Truly there's
nothing more
beautiful than
to be here
at this moment
with you.
It's really good
just to be here.

Let this season,
this yuletide season,
be the one
of joy shared.
The one that
brings peace to
that restless soul,
succor and solace
to comfort the
confused ones and
bring reconciliation
to the alienated.
Give a piece
of yourself to others,
like God gave
his only begotten
Son to you
and the world
whose natal day
is the reason
for this season.
Let it be
the one that
truly reflects the
heart of God
in man.
Let us see
others as God
see them.
This is the
time to start,
extend your hand,
your heart and
your resources,
respond to their
silent call for help,
hear their cry.
See the pain
behind their smile.
Be compassionate.
Your little bit
support and supply
of something in
some small way
is everything.
Let that child
smile again,
reassure that widow.
Your gifts may
not change or
stop the pain
but it will
surely go a
long way to
ameliorate and bear
on their situation,
and that would
have been enough.
Let us remember
the motherless,
the sick and
the critically ill,
the blind and
the crippled,
the orphans and
the lonely ones,
the elderly and
the forgotten,
the less privilege,
the downtrodden,
that neighbor who
who seem so
distressed.
Partner with me
henceforth to lift
them up.
Let us really
mean it when
we say to someone,
Merry Christmas!!!

This wish is for
you who cares,
the wish is for
you who peeps
into my heart,
to see what
lies deep beneath
within it,
the one who
is so courageous
and has taken
the time out
to find a seat
even when there's
an earthquake within.
A happy heart
with good feelings,
that is what i
meant by that wish.
Wishing you the
very best life
can give,
the amazing sweet
awesomeness life
can offer you.
The beginning of
something uniquely
magnificently and
beautifully new
will arise to meet you.
Let the start of
a new dawn
emerge for you.
May it enfold
you in it's
***** and have
the fruits to
bless your life.
May your roots
be refreshed and
the dead leaves
of your life
start to sprout again.

The life of
the courageous is
definitely not death
but to survive
by any means
necessary and live.
Cowardice is definitely
not an absence
of courage,
it means you
survived today for
another time.
It means safety.
It means you
have won just
for the moment.
What is the
point of dying
when you can
save yourselves.
Even the best
General in an
army loses a battle
and strategize
for another day.
Cowardice means
inner strength to
bear humiliation,
but is it
not much better
than to die.
Let me tell
you now in truth,
there is no
honor in death.
Only thing that
gets you honor
is to stay alive.
To survive is
more honorable.
It means you
took in the pain,
endured the humiliation,
it makes you
even more disciplined.
You are counted
among the titans
that survived to
tell the story.
History will not
be written or
complete without you,
you can never
be forgotten as
an eye witness.
You are not
a coward but
the brave.
Your scar tells
a story of
your bravery.
That wound means
you survived.
