Miracle
Deep Ponderer Aug 2017
Some don't get to wake up to a new day.
Some have never tasted a piece of cake.
So live because everyday is a Miracle.
Feeling blessed.

Detour #haiku
Deep Ponderer Sep 2017
Ohh why a strange pout?
I deroute for a detour
To find hope not love
My first haiku.
345 · Jul 2018
My longest block
Deep Ponderer Jul 2018
My words no longer compile sentences.
They act as antagonist,
preventing my every move.
I'm left with nothing but a blank page.
I'm having the worse kind of block lately. Hope someday I get back on track. :(

I ain't lucky
Deep Ponderer Jul 2018
I'm no happy go lucky
I think too much.
I look up stuck,
searching in the constellations​
for answers about luck.
It doesn't inspire me.
Hence there is a reason
for my 'meant to be',
because you are
no longer a dream.
I'm blessed :)

Be spontaneous
Deep Ponderer Aug 2017
I hate it when people tell me
"be spontaneous".
Yes I am timid and shy.
Yes I take time to reply.
Please don't ask me why.
But I truly believe
*Still waters run deep.
I think too much and sometimes I don't know how to make a conversation.
Sorry I'm just not the spontaneous kind.

I saw myself
Deep Ponderer Jul 2017
It was a beautiful afternoon
I was capturing the moment.
Those perfect photographic memories,
The couples on their auspicious occasion.
The laughters, the dancers,
To celebrate their love
I captured them all.

Who knew, that same day
As midnight struck I was taken ill.
Two days later I was carried to the hospital,
Found myself in drips and pills.
My body overshadowed by weakness
my blood pressure kept on rising.

I saw myself!
I saw my body on the hospital bed
I was close to the ceiling, I was floating
I could see my mother silently praying.
Someone was beside me, I couldn't recognise.
He took me to the next room,
I saw twins, waiting to be examined.
Then suddenly the man said
"It's Time to return"
I woke up, with my eyes half opened.
I was sure it was all just a dream.

The following day, some visitors came.
To my surprised, they said
"We saw twins in the adjacent room".
That's when I realised
I saw myself
I saw a lifeless body.
Although it didn't seem logical,
*I encountered a miracle.
A short true story

Slaves to our device
Deep Ponderer Aug 2017
Everyday people pass by,
They no longer notice each other,
Not even a hello or a good bye.
No need to meet, just listen to the beep,
A text will tell how much they care.
Does that really sound fair?

They no longer awe at nature's wonders.
They affixed themselves to their device.
Every second, minute and hour,
They locked their eyes to their machine,
Chained like  slaves
Doing what it says,
Directing their daily routine.
Ohh what have this world become?
Loving our device.
Using human as toys.
*Worshipping it day and night
Ohh what a terrible sight!
Just pondering, but sad to say our smart phone has become our partner in life.

My cup of tea
Deep Ponderer May 2018
The moment I decide to give up
A spark ignites in a mysterious cup.
A special tea garnished with
the aroma of friends,  family and even a foe,
it challenges me to taste all that life has to offer,
Be it sweet, sour or bitter.

Man's best friend
Deep Ponderer Oct 2017
So dogs are man's best friends
More loyal than any men
So when a man calls a woman
A *****!
*Does he refer to her as a best friend?
Isn't a ***** a dog?
I fail to respect men who call women ***** or vise versa. I wish words were use more wisely. I know to some it's a trend, but to others it's an offence. Useless you literally mean best friend, which I still do no recommend.

knight
Deep Ponderer Dec 2017
My Knight in shining armour
is coming soon
To sweep me off my feet,
To cleanse me of all my iniquities,
He claimed and honoured me,
with the title
"Daughter of the King"
His name,
"Above all names"
*King of Kings
And Lord of Lords.
Psalms 18:1
God is bedrock under my feet, the castle in which I live, my rescuing knight.

Forgiven
Deep Ponderer Jul 2017
I burst forth into a monster
Roaming to devour
The very soul that left me sore.
Desiring to destroy your hope
To chain you with disparaging words,
The very words that left me scarred.
To trap you in a pit pitch black
A darkness so tangible,
leaves you screaming for a way out.

But forgiveness came flashing to my mind
Difficult to pursue but worth the try
For I myself
Craves for a second chance of redemption
Therefore the only way was
FORGIVE AND YOU SHALL BE FORGIVEN
326 · Feb 2018
Be you.
Deep Ponderer Feb 2018
Be you, wonderfully you.
Then your identity
Becomes your beauty.
10w... What's your identity?

Unveiling reality
Deep Ponderer Nov 2017
We shadow our eyes with a veil
So we can write our own tale.
But when we catch
a glimpse of reality,
We see only the storm
hindering the sun
And the rainbow of life,
just a fantasy!
Most of the time we fail to embrace reality and we see it as a tragedy. But not all realities have sad endings.

Resist evil
Deep Ponderer Sep 2017
For evil is deceiving
So resist without fleeting.
Do not accommodate it
Nor bargain with it,
Lest your soul be devoured.
We need to fight what is evil in us, before it controls us.
317 · Oct 2017
False company
Deep Ponderer Oct 2017
In my merry days
I desire company
For if they appear
only in my dark days
I know they pity me
They feel I'm in need
For alone I fail to breathe
But how false that is,
For then I know
They are the ones
that come and go
Not the ones that stay.
I need them
in all my days.
I want to thank those people who are with me in my dark as well as happy days. But for those who were there only in my dark days. I'm sorry to say, but I dislike pity.

Chivalry is dead?
Deep Ponderer Aug 2017
"Chivalry is dead"*
Well said!
A stranger on the pavement
Shoved his hand between my legs.
It was a public place, was walking with a friend and it happened so fast I didn't even see his face.
311 · Apr 2018
Broad minded
Deep Ponderer Apr 2018
Being broad-minded
I believe in God.
And I do not narrow down
My beliefs
in the things
that are seen.
And how do you define being broad minded?
310 · Sep 2017
Closer look
Deep Ponderer Sep 2017
Take a closer look
There is more than meets the eye
fire burns inside
A flaming love inside
309 · Sep 2017
Stick and stones
Deep Ponderer Sep 2017
It takes the one you love
To shatter your heart
Sticks and stones
To break your bones

A friend to tear you apart.
It also took two sticks to cross
And the stone to roll

To redeem your soul.
Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross and rising again. You saved our souls.

The walking dead
Deep Ponderer Mar 2019
I no longer mourn the dead
I mourn the living,
For they build thick walls
From their past hurting.
they say they deserve love
Yet feel they are never enough.
They put on a stoic face,
And freeze their veins
To avoid any kind of feelings.
'The walking dead' living as though
they have but one last breath.
It's ok to not be strong. There is someone out there who will care for you and love you the way you have always wanted. Believe :)
307 · Mar 2018
Someone
Deep Ponderer Mar 2018
I don't need someone
to complete me,
I just need someone
with whom I can share
the love God has given me.
What about you, why do you need someone?
306 · Jan 2018
Self torment
Deep Ponderer Jan 2018
We punish ourselves
Then we blame God.
We punish ourselves
With our own thoughts.
We try to draw meaning
From what was once lost.
We say "our sins
cannot be forgiven."
Hence we punish ourselves
But for what reason?

The guilt we carry
Can be forgiven.
Step into the light
Brust forth all
that is hidden.
For what is life
without a little strife?
Stop tormenting yourselves with unpleasant thoughts, pray for our God is great and wants to release us from such agony.
306 · Jul 2017
Fiery love
Deep Ponderer Jul 2017
Let love burn all that make you falter

And lit a fiery passion

That will leave the mark of a victor.

My escape
Deep Ponderer Jan 2018
The lakes and mountains
Are my escape
A hiatus from life's ache.
What's your escape?

Tidsoptimist
Deep Ponderer Sep 2017
She spends time leisurely
Time for her is a bliss
But what a misery
For those who wait
Most days they leave her
without a say
she would always be late.
That doesn't wipe off
the gambol effect.
With all her beauty,
glitter and glamour
She takes down
the road with respect.
A time optimist,
not the high handed kind,
But she has a fetching soul
with a heart to cure.
She shakes off life's agony
with a heated dance.
She not only lives a halcyon life
But she's a champion
in her own time.
tipsoptimist (Swedish- time optimist).
I just described a friend.

Deeds
Deep Ponderer Oct 2019
Our good deeds won't take us to heaven
But surely they will lead others to Christ.
297 · Oct 2017
Judge me
Deep Ponderer Oct 2017
I take my beliefs seriously
I Ain't no religious fanatic.
But if you want to judge me
Judge me!
I don't mind
I'm no longer blind.
My faith in Christ is a relationship.

Peace in lonely
Deep Ponderer Oct 2017
The greatest achievement
A man can achieve
Is peace
In the midst
Of lonely.
I'm sure most of us when alone feel like no one cares or loves, feel unwanted and thoughts run wild. But sometimes we have to learn the skill of accepting lonely as beauty. When u finally find peace in lonely there is nothing you can't achieve. No more place for suicidal tendencies.

That one letter
Deep Ponderer Jul 2017
A letter to you is just words in a piece of paper.
To me it brought us closer.
I could hear you whisper,
Those words so divine
You transformed my mind.
Although I knew they were shallow,
Yet I permitted my heart to follow
Those words that numbed my sorrows.

I was gullible, you were intimidating,
Each syllable was captivating
With that letter you won my attention,
But for me it was a ticket to redemption,
To save me from those emotions
That had consume my thoughts.
So I believed in those words.

A spark was lit, seen on my face
I was filled with a warm embrace.
Only to find, it was for sunny days.
As the storm set in,
And the thunders raged
Each words slowly faded.
The letter was drench in my tears
As I watched you walk away.
I love letters, they speak directly to my heart.
For this I am definitely old school.
274 · Jul 2017
The Chase
Deep Ponderer Jul 2017
You delighted in the chase

It was indeed intriguing.

But when reality struck

And demanded your clock,

You fleet gracefully

Like a roadrunner.
The past hurts. If only I knew your motives, I would have never let you through
272 · Nov 2017
fear's marionettes.
Deep Ponderer Nov 2017
We are like marionettes.
Our fears: our marionettists.
Control bars direct our actions,
the strings limit our abilities.
We preform for an applause,
But not for a visionary cause.
Don't let fear undermine your ability
266 · Mar 2019
Hope untamed
Deep Ponderer Mar 2019
I hope that you stay
And wait till the end.
You don't look into my eyes
The way you did when it began.
Why do I still feel the same;
A feeling that remains,
Or  is it all just in my brain
This hope  untamed.
Do you feel like someone is about to leave you, But you keep crazy hoping that the person would stay? My current state:(
265 · Nov 2017
Excuses
Deep Ponderer Nov 2017
Right your wrongs
Don't use them as excuses
For others to pity you.
Most of the time we find ourselves searching for someone to say "I understood why you did what you did" but we refuse to rectify the situation
256 · Aug 2019
Invisible momentum
Deep Ponderer Aug 2019
I am inspired by things unseen,
Like the air that helps me breathe
For without it we are mere dust.
So why then do you asked,
"How can you believe in a god
You cannot see?"
Do you believe?
252 · Oct 2017
Bold explosion
Deep Ponderer Oct 2017
You asked me to be bold
From the shadows I emerged.
My boldness exploded love!
It could not be contained,
too much for you to handle.
I crawled back into the shadows,
Awaiting a fair moment to explode.
I was bold for the wrong reason. Now my boldness is withheld for the right reasons. And I trust the Lord will direct my ways.

Deception
Deep Ponderer Oct 2017
I ran right into the trap!!

With arms wide open
I sought refuge in words.

I found myself in a dungeon,
Dark with the stench of blood
Not even love could break the
spells of deception.
One door seemed to scream "run",
The only conception
A rational message from the mind.

For my heart whispered "stay"
it's gentle voice lured me
Another trap, yet like a fool
I submitted.

I floundered in the dirt
With no solution
Even when  I prayed.


I should have walk away
When  chance
was calling my name
Have you ever been decieved? Well I was. it was like a trap, I tried to find a solution, I tried love, to turn it into something good, but in the end, the only way was to run and not look back.

Stuck
Deep Ponderer Aug 2017
Sometimes I still feel stuck
Like a boat anchored to a rock
And never sailing forward.

Embossed to my skin
Deep Ponderer Aug 2017
Oh but why
I want to cry
For you said

"I am the love of your life
I embossed myself to your skin
With a dash of rosy hue.
I create a scar and leave a mark
So you won't stray afar
I know you want me to slide away
From your greasy dermis
Yet the grease acts like a glue
And I stick with you
Through the thick and the thin
I will stay
Even when the seasons change"

                 *With love

                                         *The acne on your face
Hehe just can't seem to get rid of them so wrote a poem instead.
244 · Oct 2017
The past still follows
Deep Ponderer Oct 2017
I thought I  left the past behind,
But instead I squeezed it all
in my backpack
And carry it wherever I go.
The past still haunts me, and follows me wherever I go
237 · Sep 2017
Trust
Deep Ponderer Sep 2017
She was asked to trust him
And so she did,
Even if her love for him,
God forbid.

Soon his love for her derailed,
He left without a trail.

From then on
she trusted no men
But drew away her trust
to the only One

That buoyant her heart
from being sunk
The God who gave away h
His only son,

To save the tainted ones.
Psalm 118:8
It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.
Psalm146:3
Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, in whom there is no salvation.
236 · Jan 2018
Be nice
Deep Ponderer Jan 2018
Be nice, no matter the price.
It may create a turbulence
In the haters' veins
But you will stay sane.
A sense of peace
will occupy
Your blank space.
229 · Jul 2017
Pieces
Deep Ponderer Jul 2017
You demanded my everything.
I gave myself in pieces.
Bit by bit, you collected me.
You fixed me up like a puzzle.
I was thrown away.
Now I'm picking up the pieces
with struggle.
Slowly hoping to be remodelled.
Gluing all creases with glitters,
Hoping to hide the scars layer by layer.
I put a smile,
To make it appear prettier.
But deep inside
I'm as damage as a broken mirror.
Still hurt
226 · Aug 2017
Stars
Deep Ponderer Aug 2017
Be stars in this wicked world,
Shine a path for those with darken hearts.
Be a good example for those who have lost their ways and think they have become futile.
224 · Sep 2017
Stems
Deep Ponderer Sep 2017
When I closed my eyes
There is a grow in sight
Of blossoming petals
Uniting in their own stems.
I wish we could live in a world with no divorce so that children could grow in the right path along side their parents.
A united family :)
220 · Sep 2017
Reach out
Deep Ponderer Sep 2017
We wake, we live,we laugh,we cry
We become blind to those who die inside.
Telling themselves lies
"You are the unworthy kind"
Fighting an unending battle
All alone and the fear rattles

Society can't save their live
Tagged​ them names,
they feel ashamed.
They breathe in the dark
For the sun acts like a spotlight
Revealing their unspoken misery.
Brainwashed, with a thought
of being more than dead,
they are misfits.

So you and I let's unite
Set aside our selfish hype.
Don't just pin the green ribbon to your shirt
But keep in mind, they are not different
There is no such thing as "their kind"
Depression is a phase most of us will encounter.
Like any other problem there is an answer.
Let's communicate-love,joy,hope,peace,
Reach out,
We need each other
Unite join the fight.
I was a victim of depression, saved by grace and by the love and care of Friends and family.
For those struggling with depression, know this- you are not alone.

Grey mirror
Deep Ponderer Sep 2017
Grey  a depressing shade
Covered with dark fog
A mist thicker than a cloud
I'm a mirror
Wipe off the grey
Even just a little
Like no other
I will reflect your true colours.
We all have a bad past, but don't let it fog your vision.... Wipe it off and reflect your true colours
218 · Sep 2017
In my broken heart
Deep Ponderer Sep 2017
I sought the Lord
And found Him in the oddest place,
I found Him in my broken heart.
He will not abandon you.. Seek Him, and He will be found.

Unforseen nature
Deep Ponderer Sep 2017
You don't follow the crowd
You're a bit too modest
But you live out loud.
Your nature cannot be predicted
You are made of various elements
Each of different colours,
A psychedelic piece of Art.
A marvelous creation
Spreading positive vibrations
With a heart filled desire
To praise your Creator.
Your wittism and
labyrinthine essence
Bring out a whimsical humour
now and then.
You too are uncertain
of your unforeseeable character,
Like a kaleidoscope,
Rotate with grace and flow
Your colours conflate
*A beautiful pattern unfolds.
To uniqueness. Let out your hidden colours.
204 · Sep 2017
Be wanted
Deep Ponderer Sep 2017
Don't settle for less
You are worth a million
Be a woman of dignity.
Follow your dreams
Don't follow a man's charm.
Let him fall for your personality.
Be wanted don't just want.
Let your beauty be adorn
With love that you deserve.
To all the ladies :*

Sheep into wool
Deep Ponderer Oct 2017
The wolf killed the sheep in me
My innocence left to bleed
Now a slave to knitting needles
A helpless yarn of wool.
The world and it's cruelty turn freedom into slavery
