Goodbye, my friend

Friends are forever

To have you forever by my side

would be to be your dearest friend

and companion

"i am here when you need me"

is suffice to say

Anything more or less

is a torture

of losing you.....

Unable to love you

is to say

"i am unable to lose you."

Is it fate or heart-shattering destiny..

that we have to cross this boundary ?

Would it be goodbye, my friend?

Hello...my dear..... (i am so confused)

_______________________________________________________________

8I am not commanding you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others.

2 Corinthians 8: 8

tip of an iceberg

This is a poem i dedicated to a friend

no longer with us, but will be forever remembered

as brief as the time we got to know each other,

as brief as it is,

destiny tore us apart

_________________________________________________

i asked if you ever touch the sky and reach out to heaven,

And i took you by the hand, up we raise.

We were this close to heaven,

i left you at the rooftop, momentarily,

i left you, on your own.

Then i came back for you

You were no longer there

Falling off the building

What were you thinking when you stand at the edge and lose your footing?

Did you fall on your own?

Did someone push you?

Is it that something pull you off the edge?

We were this close to heavens.

I hope the angels lift you up to the heavens

_____________________________________________

i offer you salvation

but i deprive you off the savior

i have only given you the tip of an iceberg

i thought it would be sufficient

to be an evangelistic

not realizing that i should be a teacher and

a missionary too

Being a Christain is not a role but an identity.

wind chasing cloud

That is exactly what i was thinking too.

Hey, i thought that was my favourite food...

____________________________

How could it be that looking at you

is just like looking into my own reflection...

Hey, why are you taking on my look?

____________________________

You are morphing into me

or am i changing into you ?

is this what it means

2 become 1

well, i am a shape shifter

my moods alter as fast and

as unpredictable as the weather

to become like me

is to become like H20

evaporate, distill, boil, freeze, melt

at a snap

could you?

But you are a good catcher up

you are catching on like

a wind chasing cloud

do i worth your...

attention

time

devotion

dedication

remember: we do not gain back equally what we pour out...we may lost in volume, mass, density, momentum and ....individuality.

fairy tale

am i imagining this?

i make you flush

i make you smile

i could change you with my thoughts

moulding you into how i wanted you to be

am i crazy?

thinking that you would fall for me

am i crazy?

am i even concious?

when you are not with me,

i do not feel your absence

when you gone,

i still feel that you are here

standing opposite you

feels like standing next to you

smiling at myself

is like smiling at you

i think i need medication

aspirin, please....

but it is too simple...

too easy...

unbelievable

i no longer believe in fairy tales

how is it possible that i could live in one?

engulf

No matter where i look

i saw the shadows of the past

the reflections of the unseen

everything reminds me of you

so fragmented yet vividly apparent...

am i missing you?

i tell myself repeatedly

i don't

but i am enjoying in this immersing pain

engulfed by an airy invisibility

why do you have to appear in him?

why do i see you in him?

is it comforting or painful?

just confusing...

i do not think i am able to

put my trust in another soul

at least, not for now

the road not taken

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,



And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,


I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-




I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

A bend in the road

The bend in the road

When we feel we have nothing left to give

And we are sure that the song has ended,

When our day seems over and the shadows fall

And the darkness of night has descended,

Where can we go to find the strength

To valiantly keep on trying?

Where can we find the hand that will dry

The tears that the heart is crying?

There's but one place to go and that is to God,

And dropping all pretence and pride,

We can pour out our problems without restraint

And gain strength with Him at our side.

And together we stand at life's cross roads

And view what we think is the end,

But God has a much bigger vision,

And He tells us it's only a bend.

For the road goes on and is smoother,

And the pause in the song is a rest,

And the part that's unsung and unfinished

Is the sweetest and richest and best.

So rest and relax and grow stronger

Let go and let God share your load.

Your work is not finished or ended

You've just come to a bend in the road.

ADVERSITY CAN DISTRESS US

OR BLESS US

The way we use adversity is strictly our own choice,

For in God's Hands adversity can make the heart rejoice -

For everything God sends to us,

no matter in what form,

Is sent with plan and purpose for by the fierceness of a storm

The atmosphere is changed and cleared and the earth is washed and clean

And the "high winds of adversity" can make restless souls serene -

And while it's very difficult for mankind to understand God's intentions

and His purpose and the workings of His Hand,

If we observe the miracles that happen every day

We cannot help but be convinced that in His wondrous way

God makes what seemed unbearable and painful and distressing,

Easily acceptable when we view it as a blessing.
