CHILDHOOD SCENERIES

-

Amid the hot summer, tiny drops of rain were trickling over,

I succumbed my thoughts in my naive heart's little corner,
It dazzles and whirls onto my inner childhood sceneries,
The yesteryears' cobwebs shaped me to the days I faced,
I was observant behind my innocent and unripened mind,
I noticed projection of characters of humanity onto me bind,
It rolled over in every page of my life's dense chapter,
My inner child, while I age, she became my dear angel,
I began to explore this beautiful earth here and there,
I found out in life isn't all the time favors me wherever,
I listened to my heart and followed its magical beats,
Yet I couldn't simply cast those words I had committed,
I stumbled, looking for happiness, and along my journey,
I welled tears of lovely and sweet pains across my way,
Yet my inner child within so sparkling within exquisitely,
Never I will be a menace as my angel...
...knows her steps to waltz with me

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

This is the poem that made the multi-awarded poetess Deborah Brooks Langford the cry which she mentioned in her interview conducted by the beautiful Author Susan Joyner-Stumpf Nothing impossible in the heaven beneath... My children are my golden treasure... bringing back my thoughts to my yesteryears my story began when I was a teenage mother... through breastfeeding, I nurtured my first son till no milk from me, I could squeeze upon I wished to feed him nutrients he essentially needs to abound I lacked to provide him; my world seemingly didn't go round it bled my heart as my purse was thin and empty windows were only covered by sacks. That was how pity was we and nothing could be found in every corner of our dinky shelter even tiny ashes of regrets couldn't be found in there ...how bare it was.. it was representing me... from there, I just learned to dream though not for me but for them I believe it's not late to create a nest for my coming children behind that huge moun
