optimism

2010 has reached its expiry date
some had an amazing year
some spent most of it rummaging new ventures
some missed out on a train of hope

when u feel like you’ve gave it your best
yet all you get is a pending fate
when every effort seem like a waste of time
keep going, though you need hope
for around the corner is your destiny

2011 prompts to be the best for everyone
it is full of hope, for we cannot do anything without it
the black cloud will disappear
the sun will shine and light your future
though the road be steep and hard to climb
never give up

build your hope, one day at a time
that’s the only way to make it in this planet
hope keep us alive
it exasperate the desire to live
to love and be loved back

each sacred hope is a blessingful gift
the fear of the future are all in your head
just live the present
refuse to resurrect the past
hope for the best….

Life is a journey
As you travel thru life
There r times where tough choices and decisions have to be made
Not all of them will work out, trust me
But don’t despair
Pack up your troubles and take a step forward
Probably that step might lead to your comfort-zone, ecstatic world
Where you will find warmth, love, caring, life and elevate
So don’t look back

I mean no day is the same as the other,
Although we have one of those days
But everyday is an absolute day
All you have to do is rise and grind
That’s why you should put one foot in front of the other always

Only if time was anti-clock we’d go backward
Though some have had greatest moments in the past
We all reminisce on those moments “or memories”
But the past will never be future
Just let go
And don’t look back

There might be a bright future ahead of u
Maybe just around the corner lies your ‘real life’
Giving up is no option but a temptation
Don’t be tempted to go back coz those are all memories now
Past efforts have made you who you are today………but a better self lies in front of you

In life we have to learn to let go…..so many people hold grudges
Exasperate evil thoughts coz of the wrong deeds
Think things will be better if certain things didn’t happen
I mean everything happen for a reason
All you have now is make the best outta you
You gotta move forward, even if it means leaving what seem comfortable
Keep focus on what is in front of you instead of what is behind you
Don’t look back

Danger of wealth

I remember when we were all growing up
We used to share almost everything
Even in plights we would share
We’d do things in unity as a community

As I grow older I experience the difference
The differences we once shared as kidz
We had dreams, we all wanted to be rich one day
And God has blessed us with our wishes
Some of us are living their dreamz

The danger of wealth prevails though
Wealth has made us self-reliant
Self sufficient
Self-contained
It has made us isolated

We once shared public transport
We were the community
Together life was good
But when we are wealth we become separated from others

Wealth evokes pride
It closes gates to the poor
In a way that we worry about luxury
And not about helping others to realize their potential too
The gap between the two (rich and poor) accumulates

The danger of wealth is evil
Its makes us selfish
We become addicted to a number of things
We find it hard to live with less
We long for more and more
We neglect the sufferings in the street

True wealth lies in your soul
It’s not in monitory value
But the love and respect we share with others
Not only with ourselves but others
It’s about making a difference in ones life too
God be with you!!!!!!

is it real?

Over-longing for a special one
Dwelling on unique & special qualities
Mixed emotions and feeling about love
Doubt of its existence
Here I sit, contemplating……..

Courtesy of love
I understand its meaning
But will I ever practice it?
I pondered……

Amid the dreams of love
She came into my life
My heart aches for her
Her uniqueness & values she possesses
It amazes me

Her ability to cheer me up
When I’m down
Her voice and its beautiful sound
Her silence while listening to me
The love she anchors for me
My feelings for her are beyond words

She taught me sense of loving
To be honest and patient
The power of love overwhelms me
Each day my love for you grows
Let it be our courtesy…….

Now that you Gone

Your presence in my life was helpful. I learnt a lot and got to find what I have been rummaging for……my entire life. You gave me the meaning of life. Now I know that not everyone you bring close to you and share your sentiments with is cool. Some are but most aren’t.

Having you in my life brought some discomfort. I’ve always lived in fear. Fear of the unknown. It was always difficult to see the sunshine through the rain. I mean, what we had was “good”, so we both thought. Even though we would take shots from the dark, we never had a succinct direction for our ventures. There was never a shed light over us. We had our ups and downs like any other relationship. Waking up next to each other everyday got us thinking we had it going…we thought life was going on….but trust me we were wrong. Things were revolving around the circle.

Everyday was the same, it seemed so routine. We would do same things all over again, even when we changed, it would not make any difference because it would be one of the same thing over and over again.

I thought what we were doing was right. But how can a “right thing” be so wrong. It was such a waste of time. A game I reckoned. Now that you gone I’m starting to see and experience a different part of life. I am living without fear because what I have is a blessing from God. I live a complete life I would say, a life with no fears, lies nor secrets. Now that you are gone I know what is what. I know a full spectrum of life, that is.

Now I smile because you never gave me a reason to. Since you gone there is progress in my life. But after all I thank you for making me such a strong and a better person. Everything is going swimmingly now that you are gone and it is all because of You.

in honour

Today m able to simulate
and endure life.
To manipulate
and exalt through tough storms.
Despite all the plights, i still have strength
hope and faith in God.
I honour you

Today I reminisce
and share life with people I love.
You honoured me a chance to live,
to see, to talk and smile everyday.
Not everyone is so privileged.

Today I hold nothing back
I explore my endeavors
I adventure in full-force

You wanted the best for me
You been there for me in spirit
I appreciate you a lot.
Thank you mom for everything
I honour You.

Words are not enough

Sometimes words are not enough. You can utter eloquent words to entice somebody for your own good. But still don’t get it right, over and over again. Action speaks louder than words, so they say. Inevitably, that’s so true. Words are not enough but when coupled with action they are.

Words are transformation of our thoughts. With these words we are able to intertwine these thoughts with feelings and convey them. That’s how we express love, hate, and peace and praise our cognates. Words are aptly powerful to touch or stab one’s heart, or deceive someone.

Say you have wronged someone, for instance. What does it take to get forgiven for what you did? Words, only?…..of course not. You can not say you are ‘sorry’ than that’s that. You gotta demonstrate your contrition. Show some actions that you are really sorry.

Same goes with “relationships”. Your words wont be taken serious when you approach someone. But your demonstration or actions showing your love for that special person will do a trick. Late night phone call means a lot than just promulgated words but that you thought of her/him, is it not so?

Words and action are ‘sometimes’ a perfect match. But words alone are sometimes not enough.
