Now i see the light
Piercing through my window
Tearing down the curtains
Swallowing the shadows.

I have lingered in the dark
To know light will find me soon
I have beckon for seasons
You appeared, but skeptical i was.

Is this the light?
Oh, i have waited too long!

This must be the light!
I feel vigor run through my marrow
And a cold spring run through my throat
This is a fountain of WATER.

Plants will wither
Even Red Roses will lose beauty in season of drought
But this fountain never run dry
I got a jar filled with it already.

Now, i grin to the ear
Smile to the bank
Look into the mirror
And love what i see.

CHAMELEON

[FALSE FRIEND]

Friendship bond, we knot

In one mind, we cloth

Love shared, not bought

But this long string, you cut

With self-mind, you sought

A mind full of lust

Now, what is the worth?

Open minded door, you shut

Leaving lose end to hurt

This picture you plot

From own self-thought

From within, set the rot.

With grinning mouth, you cheer

With piercing tongue, you tear

Before worried eyes clear

You had blended with the ware

Enormous colours you share

Hiding your real ware

Friendship made mere

This arose my fears

Much more for me to bear

Chameleon! Dare not to near

For today, I forbid this peer.

LOVE AND PAIN

Arrow stuck

Two hearts paused

Beholding stars

Entwined in admiration

With hope of eternity

Suddenly…

Heaven shed tears

While the sun went to bed

They wished baby cupid

Never aimed.

Love is pain and

Pain is love. Both,

Sides of life in a toss.

ON THE DAY OF GLORY

On the day of glory

When the dark clouds is white-washed

By the smiling sun

Glory comes to take its course

Then, the one from the oblivion

Turns the cynosure of all eyes.

On the day of glory

The slave wears the crown

An accolade of the royals

And those who had mocked

Could not help but stare.

On the day of glory

The scare of pain

Is clothed with smiles

And Stigma takes the exit

On the back door.

LIFE AND TIMES OF JESSICA WHITE

Jessica was the cynosure of all eyes,

A quintessence of exquisite delight,

She was a diva,

Got smiles that could make a priest quiver.

Life was like roses on bed,

But then, this got into her head

You can beckon if you have what it takes,

“The feel” is only for men with big stake.

Like selling a valuable silver

Only to the highest bidder

…soon, the monster killer changed the chorus

She contacted the AIDS virus,

And died like Simon and Teddy,

Too soon like Solomon Grandly,

But one thing will remain in my memory,

The words on the walls of the cemetery

Reads; “Whatever goes around

Will definitely come around.”

I WILL

I bet I will

Roll my hardened wheel

Up the glamorous steeple hill

Where my wretch I’ll kill

And heal the pains I feel

I bet I will, on my will

Stand tall and still

Against the road I set my heels

My will, I made of steel

Though the wind is ill

But still

My mind is sealed with zeal.

The Thing about Quotes

2008-04-20T11:34:00.000-07:00

Can a quote inspire you? We have found inspirational quotes can change our thinking. Quotes can inspire you, they can remind you of your goals, and they can be a positive influence to your day.

You don't need to keep a book of quotes, you only need to find that one quote that is appropriate for your situation. That one quote that will inspire you or remind you to live life to the fullest.

An example of two quotes that did just that for me:

1. For many years I kept the following quote on my desk: "What I do today is important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it."

That quote would remind me not to spend my day thinking negative thoughts or waste my time or energy in complaining or wishing to be somewhere else. It reminded me to enjoy my day, to be all that I could be as once the day was over I would never have it back.

2. Currently I am working on a project that requires a lot of time and patience. Some days I feel frustrated with my progress. I feel like I will never finish. So I the following quote gives me inspiration while working on my current project: "persistence prevails when all else fails"

When I find myself frustrated I look up and read that quote. It inspires me to continue. It reminds me of the story doing a little bit over time does pay off.

So find that quote that inspires you, keep it in a place where you can see it, and live each day to the fullest!
