AS WE GO TO AND FRO

This is another successful collaboration with Deborah.

I GO, TO AND FRO
Dedicated to Helen Sarita

It's all the same, everywhere I go.
I already know, joys of intoxication
Desire for laughter
Routine for highs
Lack of lows
Yet nobody knows
Yet I see beauty wherever I go~

I see your laughter
As we live for each other
I see beauty through people I know.
I believe in humanity.
But Lord Jesus first.
I believe in love
As I go to and fro~

A single rose represents you.
represents love
smelling the rose makes me smile
I prick my hand
with the beauty
but it's the same, where ever I go~

I walk my steps with love and friendships.
we sit for a cup of tea
unique friendship, like a diamond shining so bright
there is no beauty in this life without you
there is no life if I am all alone
no joy or smiles
without our satisfied sighs
it's alright, it's all the same
as I go to and fro.~

Dedicated to Helen Sarita

Helen Sarita, please add to my poem...

Deborah Brooks Langford, here is my answer to this poem.

As I go, to and fro
I can see beauties wherever
I bring my sight to
I can see only a blur and vague unpleasant things to me and you.

Though things were not getting to where we wished to..but I believe.
it's a silent answer to my prayers though
My faith strengthens me.
My trust calms me
in all the storms
crossing my way
I became fearless
As I go, to and fro

You have discovered
those pains in me
My ink depicts all of
what I've been through
Those tears put a glaze on my ink to express myself.
as I go, to and fro

And you came to read my heart in your simplest way.
You kissed those tears of mine and encouraged me.
And you believe in me. You added me to the stars in the skies to shine 
as we go, to and fro

You call me a sister, you call me an angel, you look at me like a precious gem.
I intensely thank God for a wonderful gift I've received from Him.
That is to have you as I go, to and fro.

To the man whom my heart commits for life Intensely for decades, I've been here on your side Love that never withers as I devote myself till the end Love that lingers even though many times I was in pain Delve into my heart,  I cried a thousand tears Ethereal sensation is gasping its breath within Axiomatic blast of my tender pledge of love screams To  you who broke me the most, I sense your remorse Hail my heart, it has an outlandish strength to hold Did you find yourself in my heart still being held? Over those years happiness was what I always yielded. Unbothered by the tease of life I tried to be steadfast Sustained through faith I amassed strength to make this last Paving our way now to the inescapable calling of extinction Abloom by intense grip even pangs entwined our emotion Rest assured I will be here, I'll remain stalwart not to depart Two of us will keep our commitments, till death do us part

SCRATCH

  I started from scratch One would mind me not Yes, I was just a nobody I had proven nothing in me Yet, I found ways to denote better I open myself to learn and share Untruthful thoughts, I deviated myself It wouldn't help in my call for progress I kept writing from my simplistic heart I struggled, but never I halted because of love Selfishness was never a piece I loved to pick I waltzed with the vision of my ink's magic I learned from friends with minds so broad Never I skip my duty behind my heavy load I wanted to taste the pinnacle of my being No negativity burdens me to flock my wings Pains entwined me, yet with all my might, I soar They embedded to strengthen my sincerest core When I thought of quitting, those hardships abound I diverted my thoughts for my eventuality to sprout I delve into finding ways to heal where I bruised I told myself I could make it by my shrewd Never I mind my dreams far from truth latitude Every time I fell, I rose, I learned in plenitude Oh, plea

SUBSTANCE OF LOVE

  SUBSTANCE OF LOVE On the misty eve of Christmas (2020), I smelled the excellent year of 2021, the year of prosperity. The year to get back to normal as everyone hopes, the year of greatness and power, implies all the experiences we had in 2020, full of challenges. The pandemic gives many twists to our life. Many failed on some plans because of the travel restrictions. Yet,  we can say we need to wait for God's perfect time. Just trust in Him. The pandemic protocols of various places make us dizzy, yet we have learned a lot to deal with it. I looked at it with a grain of salt. It's futile to complain about things aimed at the betterment of all.  When I am alone, I can't stop myself from pondering things that pop up in my mind.  It was not about the pandemic and the lockdown we experienced that prevented us from having business-related inter-island trips.    I was sitting in a little corner of my room, listening to the acoustic tune of my heart and trying to scribble its me
