“Hot, Tepid, Cold”


“Passion`s Fruit”


The intensity of emotion
like the waves of the ocean
comes and it goes
as it ebbs and it flows...

The feeling of love
and the feeling of hate
are not so opposed,
nay, they somewhat relate.

Like a flame and dry ice
where as both equally burn
in the depths of a soul
that hungers, struggles and yearns...

Yea, the high crime`s not these
rather, its Laodicea;
it neither crackles or moans—
ineffective, as my onomatopoeia.

Passionless heart
with no inner flame,
unmoving, untouching,
not broken but lame...

No roar of a lion
nor squeak of a mouse
just repeat what`s been said
from one mouth to mouth...

The words that we hear
we`ve all heard before
over and over
like waves breaking on shore.

Give us your heart !
Wild and free;
like a fine work of art—
Bear it ! For all of us to see.

Or do you know you make Him
to convulse and to spit
you out of His mouth
in a pool of vomit ?

“The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”

The Lord understands
the hate that you feel
and the pain that did cause it
which to Him, too, is real.

He sees and knows why
you rage and you cry—
His tears, too, fall from heaven
from contorted grey sky.

Yea, it`s hard to contain
such passionate emotions;
like a storm in a cup,
or, all the waves of the ocean.

So, bring it to Him—
now, don`t be afraid—
He really does care,
He won`t turn you away.

Just be honest and tell
Him, about all of your pain,
your heart`s reasons for seasons
of hot sun and monsoon like rain.

Again, the hate that you feel,
is indeed justified;
thus, He`ll succour and comfort,
not rebuke, neither chide.

Take comfort in Him
and simply be you;
all He requires is that
you be honest and true.

So, bring Him the Good, 
the Ugly and Bad;
all that you are
that makes you happy and sad.

For He is a friend
like that of no other;
nearer to you,
closer than lovers.
