PREFACE written by ME FOR TEARS OF STRUGGLE for Gabriel Weah's Book

Image
  TEARS OF STRUGGLE : The title speaks about the sorrow of Africa, how she mismanaged, leaving her children in tears with perplexing minds. The author Gabriel S. Weah yells his heart and soul for his love and concern for his country. This young author relinquishes the sacrifices his puerile mind discovered until he formed to be a reliable young man yearning to be a part of African headway. He believes that those tears can be a spring of bliss, and their repudiations construct a splendid story as time rolls of its own. The author Gabriel S. Weah also writes in different forms of poetry like Haiku, Tanka, Gogyohka to convey his message to the World; Meanwhile, he emphasized themes such as "WHEN SHALL AFRICA ARISE", "END HUNGER", "MEANINGLESS TEARS", "WHEN AFRICA PERISHES", "DARK CONTINENT", "DUSTY FUTURE", "THE MASK OF POVERTY", "AFRICA TODAY", “MY COUNTRY, MY STRUGGLE" and others real happening he bring

TO EXPRESS

Image
 To express My pen waltzes like whirling dervishes To convey you my damn heart sweetness Extra mindful of what I am to utter To let you feel of how much I care To journey We linger our steps in an undefinable moment To stand burly behind this sober current I listen to your soul as you speak to mine Let's journey our hearts in this unstable time To complete The braveness of our spirits made us complete The route we follow is what our hearts dictate Till we close our eyes for our final adieu I'd never regret risking my life with you @Helen Sarita 12/29/21

WRITE AND CONNECT

Image
We, in connecting others, have the proficiency Rising to impel, dreaming for peace and unity Interlink our thoughts to this massive world Treading ink to shine at par to the wild ocean Embellish to detonate the peaks and beyond Poets are we, called to speak profound sanity Overture our voice to melodize in a solemn way  Embellish enchanting words, strong and free Mountains were moved by our faith serenity Sweet sublime and fervent surrender superbly Act your words to prove them with sheer sincerity Nothing more than the lines brilliant and lovely Drive yourself sapiens thirst to drench humanity Connect and inspire the whole world extensively. Oust the reluctancy, weakness, and the negativity Never stop bursting stalwart emotion in any day No to the cries of someone's obscure mundanity Exhibit your love, that's the world needs of today Care to act through your pen gapes fascinatingly Take motility now as the next day might be blurry.

Foreword for the book of Lyn Pastrana

Image
 Every line of Lyn Pastrana's poem is magical. She sings out her heart in her every line of her exemplary piece. This authoress compels her faith with the gloss of her ink that proffers vibrance to a gloomy soul. Her deep faith allows her to reach the horizon of her dreams. She deserves accolades from heaven for all her beautiful works. She deserves an overture that rings the bell of her wonderful soul. ~Helen Sarita

HEAVY DROPS OF RAIN

 How heavy were the drops of rain in an early twilight Where you're the content of my heart this very night My thoughts splash when we're young and innocent How are you? Do we feel the same at this moment? Do you still remember the rain that we both savored? The cascades of our tears were so much controlled of We were full of worries about the destiny of our love We couldn't accept if the mighty above split us apart But we failed our dreams to be together for a lifetime Tell me your stories, that why you became not mine? Our fortune did not go with the blaring of the breeze Where are you? As time flies fast, you left me in a craze. Did you forget me easily in all those passing times? D'you only take for granted the promises we entwined? But why that still now, I am haunted by your shadow What is this feeling? My heart is still bound up with you. Can you hear these heavy drops of rain? I hope you do! Feel my love greatness in your deep fantasy  through Let my face be pai

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

ENDANGERED SPECIES

Image
Where would we go through? If you stay in havoc to us to You enjoy inflecting our habitat Where can we freely dwell at We are getting so scarce now Though we're a treasure somehow Protect us and treat us kindly good As we sojourn in this unknown world We kept on lurking from the hunters As we may be unworthy, no one cares Yet also need to live; we need sanctuary We are a creation with oppression so heavy Allow us to dwell without troubling our shadows We can't make faults beyond that far meadows We were born without choice in this universe No way to plea, we are animals, unskilled to verse Undeserving maybe with your concern and attention Albeit we can't say a word, yet through a poet's notion Here we now immensely plea to stare us upon our souls Have a heart for our sentiments through reflections of yours.

 Buenos días soy Helen Sarita de Filipinas. I am honored to be invited to the second virtual international poetry event by ART for CHANGE for human values. Felicidades!!

Mi gratitud a estas dos personas Juan Carlos Chavarría el Director de General of ART for CHANGE y Hermana Clara Sánchez  el gestor Literarion de Cultura Aquí está mi poema por el valor de la tolerancia Tolerance A virtue of versatility and persistence With a heart to embrace the difference Wheresoever we are in this world, we vary Ubiquitous, people have a distinctive way There may be good and maybe unpleasant Some are genuinely kind near or in a distant Yet some are innately obnoxious, who rant Which are challenging to interlace their brand What can we do to make this world in peace? What can a mere me contribute to this race? I am a Filipi

TEACHERS IN THE VALLEY

 Teachers in the valley When I think of teachers, respect surfaces in my thought Infused to my innocent mind were all the subjects they taught I learned a lot from them, their pedagogy I need to bound I enjoyed our plays and remembered our games on the ground I consider them the pretty belles in the school of innocent kiddies Lips with shades of red, different from those ladies in the valleys I gazed them up and listened to them as the lesson of an hour began I studied in advance, read my books to the middle pages, and scanned I was the loveliest kid, and I was just five when I was in Grade one They loved my wit, they taught me to declaim, and we had so much fun The title that I performed on stage was "A daughter of a Politician." It was somewhat funny, but proper lessons were there beyond I stated the last line I uttered, which is now still so fresh in my mind. "I'd rather be a daughter of a farmer than a daughter of a politician." I was cheered, got a standing

ENDLESS LOVE

Image
 Love that never stops... You are my hon and no other one You're my soldier; you're my man When you looked at me with your smile I felt you had melted me in a while. When you kissed my lips for the first time You've snatched my heart, and our souls bind I can't forget you wherever I go You are in my mind in anything I do I dreamed one day I could see you again I missed you and our past; I always imagine Years had passed, you're still the content of my heart I tried to find for you no matter I became vain I only want to know if you love me still Since if you do, to shun you, I never will But when I found you, I was gratified and surprised You showed your longing by hugging me so tight You told me that you still love me that much It was a perfect night, and we were so glad I shared with you the story of my life. My sacrifices, my pains, and all my strive I never knew that behind the distress that it caused I found your love back to me; I thought I had lost

MORALE

Image
 Morale They say if you can't be good, be wise Our morale has been jeopardizing with sighs I can't even weigh or judge them right These young ladies are clothed with innocence The cause why they are not mindful of its verdict Which caused perhaps from an uncontrollable desire It could be lust or could be a sensual call for flesh That resulted in abortions, in some other cases Thinking of its burden, which arises their mistakes A neverending debate as to where paths would they go? To the call of the church or to follow what they coveted to I am not an ecclesiastical voice nor a health directress so Communication from their loved ones is imperative through The best thing to show care and support to our youngsters To avoid teenage pregnancy and reduce repeating its story There are so many aspects to consider to solve the situation Be a change, be an example, hard to practice it by ourselves If we call for change, be a voice, step forward one at a time As we move nobly, we'll g

  Across the ocean As I travel across the ocean I let my mind so moves away My spirit drifts so far beyond As I travel across the ocean Gauging of how far I have gone Nevermore, this thumps me dismay As I travel across the ocean I let my mind so moves away Soundless Night The reason why I'm still with you Though tears twine deep at soundless Night I have committed myself through The reason why I'm still with you It's my fate that comes in a blue My staunchness, a vision of might The reason why I'm still with you Though tears twine deep at soundless Night Azure Hue I've viewed the splendid days beyond As I gazed up the azure hues Behest to forget all 'bout those I've viewed the splendid days beyond Adeu, we've now no reason to bond You'd caged me in throes and blues I've viewed the splendid days beyond As I gazed up the azure hues

KALIBUTAN/EARTH

  KALIBUTAN (In Cebuano Dialect)   Sa pagawas mo pa lamang sa sabakan sa imong inahan Timbayahon ka ug ingnan, maayong pag-abot sa kalibutan! Unsa bay anaa sa kalibutan nga atong gipuy-an? Unsa man ang plano sa Dios alang kanatong tanan?   Paniid sa palibot, tagamtama ang gugma sa Makagagahom Gihatagan kita niya ug hunahuna nga matimbangon Gitugutan Kita niya nga madagma haron makakat-on Ug kaalam haron mahimo kitang anak nga mabalasnon   Lingi sa imong palibot, tan-awa ang mga kahoy Pagkaanindot tagamtamon ang mga huyuhoy Sa birdeng bungtod, madungog ang mg taghoy Mga tigulang, nagtangag sa ilang mga hunsoy   Simple ug yano nga naumol ang mga pangandoy Ang katumanan gisalig nato sa Dios sa kaluoy Pagkaanindot puy-an ang kanhi-ay nga panahon Abunansya ang mga tanom ug atong mga kalan-on   Apan ang kalibutan puno sa hadla sa kinaiyahan Daghang mga pagsulay karon dinhi ug sa unahan Ang katawhan nahimong hakog ug maiyaiyahon Nga ang tana

COMPLETION

Image
  Seeing our loved ones living their dreams is an amazing achievement To have endured the turmoils and distress is such an accomplishment To do with the passion we have in our hearts is a kind of fulfillment Like poetry which expresses the music of our souls' wonderment   To see us now with a glimpse of yestertime is a state of bliss Concocting the coming days with positivity fused with strength Believe that our despairs can turn into our hearts' merriment The answer to what gives us life's happiness is to be content   Let us be composed ourselves for our final home journey Heightened with conviction at any juncture of the day Whatever we've accomplished, whichever it would be Only just trust in God's perfect and wonderful way   Be a blessing of love on anyone's darkest night. Be a captain of  light for one's gloomy sight When we empty ourselves for others to have It'd be the grandest completion we ever had! Helen Sari
