NATURE TAUGHT ME!
.
. Nature is beautiful indeed!
. In it beauty lay lessons
. The best gift ever existed.
.
The breeze whispering as it moves
Innocently parading in it majesty
The tree dance side to side
To the melody of the musical bird
.
As I seat by the river
I stare deep into the water
I saw a fish dancing in delight
I wonder the reason for it joy.
.
That moment I saw the sun
It hit the waters with it rays
Creating a golden path on the surface
I wish I could walk on.
.
I sure love it when it rains
I watch the cloud get moody
I see the sky open it eyes and let down it tears.
When the lightning impel,
I anticipate the voice of the thunder.
.
Staring up the sky at night
I saw stars twinkling
And I saw a little star moving
For a moment I saw the moon
It was round and glowing.
.
Nature is beautiful so I agree
The trees are ready to give home to the birds
The water agrees with the fish
The soil welcome the plant wholeheartedly
.
What happened to humans?
We are part of nature too
Why can't humans live in harmony
Though we have different skin colour
Though we speak different languages
But we all belong to the human race
.
Why can't we share as we strive?
Why are we humans without humanity
I ponder into the dark night
I realize we have forsaken nature.
.
Nature gave it all right
But we lost sight out of our guile
We hold grudges and bury forgiveness
We let out our anger without reflection
We hold on to Sorrow and let our joy slip away.
.
If only we could take a time out
If only we could listen to the story nature tells
Then we could all sit happily
And our world will grow in peace!

A DEPRESSED SOUL
.
If I turn around and walk out of life,
Will anyone notice I am gone?
I find it hard to measure my worth on a scale
The world doesn't even care.
.
Sitting on the bridge of depression
Ready to jump into death
My heart pumping pain
My face as white as snow
This is a life I didn't ask for.
.
I feel hollow deep within
I feel life has rejected me
My folded tears fight to be free
You stared into my eyes for long
How blind you are, you didn't see my smile was shallow
.
I jab and cut into my skin
Wishing that could bring eminence
I lay buried deep in dejection
In pain I call for death
Death refuse me, it refuse to be an ally
.
When I stare into the mirror
I saw a frightened weak self
I called the attention of some pills
Wishing the bottle could take them away for ever
But every time I rise from sleep
I find myself in dysphoria
.
Please help I screamed
But the world appear silent to my cry.
I am alone, no one cares
I wish to be shown love, Hopping to be seen.
I wished I could live in a better world.
.
But it is not the world to be blamed.
I also have my part to play
It is time to stop feeding the beast
I should hoot in defense
.
Peace comes only to one who seek it
I should Stop running, I can't hide
But I can fight with hope
I am ready to welcome determination
Isn't it the bedrock of success?
.
I Say it loud and clear
watch me as I get better
Gradually I know that day would come
I will be free from this night mare
Soon I will be basking in elevation
Then I will live my life above the salt.

IN THE BOAT OF LUST.

I was standing on the first floor of a building
Enjoying the serenity of the environment
Nature is a beautiful thing I thought
I was interrupted by a virile
Wow he was so cute, the dream of a woman.

He Gracefully look around
And I wished he was looking for me.
He stood there under the scorching yellow sun,
As calm as it could be, with a smiley face.

His big eyes were glowing
His nose was well cut and trimmed.
His mouth, sexily curved
I wanted to feel, soft or firm.

His biceps were enticing
I wanted to run into his muscular arms,
I wanted to feel comforted by it
I wanted him to cuddle.....

He was slim and Tall,
I wanted to curl up around him
I wanted to lay with him in the dark hour.
His lips intertwined with mine.

I hanker for him like a Viewer
He had driven me to eroticism
Jus by his mere sight,
I felt ecstatic

He must have been created on Sunday
He seemed so perfect
I wanted him for myself
Lust brought me greed

I lost all my senses
'I want you ' echoes in my head
The devil must be happy
I was successfully distracted

Looking from the distance was not enough
I approached him, he smiled
Gosh I almost fainted
His smile could make a dark cloud white.

I stared into his eyes,
The devil rained down his blessings
Unknown to me he was a beast in angelic clothing
He was in search of a prey

To me I was in love
Perhaps love at first sight is real
I stare deep into his eyes,
I was lost in lust.

Gradually but painfully,
I realized there is a huge gap between love and lust
I had interchanged them but they are not interwoven
It cost dearly to fall in lust.

I realize after a time wasted,
Love makes you, lust Mar you
Love protects you, lust destroys you
Love will give you reasons to live
Lust will give you reasons to hate.

I forgot I was meant to be careful
I forgot my decision to stay sexually pure
I thought that is what true love entails
I have forgotten that true love is always ready to wait.


Next time when you think you are in love, be careful. It might just be you getting into the boat of lust which leads to a calamitous end.
