TO AVOID DEATH THEY HAVE FAILED TO LIVE

WHISPERED WORDS

It wasn't years ago when we sat upon the fields at night, it was yesterday,
When you held my hands and asked me what I saw when there was no day,
I told you I saw fear, that my soul was laid bare in the shadows that stared,

Do you remember touching my forehead with the tips of your fingers,

THE WAY OF THE WARRIOR

Taekwondo is my sport, Martial arts is my way of life. After 6 years of starting taekwondo, it so happens that I can't go a month without training, without working on my body, without sharpening my mind and reflexes; it is what keeps me going.

You know what happens when I stop for three weeks? My body goes into shut down as if to say "hey Mr man, better get off that chair and go train or else I'm going to give you an ass whooping", body aches will start, mind slows down, and it feels like something big is missing; only a dedicated martial artist or athlete will understand the withdrawals one goes through for stopping training for some days.

NIGHTLY

The chirping crickets,
A purply sky,
A moonless night,
Beauty is nigh,

WHISPERS

WHISPERS

The sun kissed my face,
It played me gently with grace,

The sky was blue and white,
A perfect union of dark and bright,

DIARY OF THE MONTH OF MAY

It has been the same every other day;
I'd enter and buy a cup of coffee,
take a sit, and sip quietly while looking around the café at the busy looking faces.
You'd enter, walk slowly to the counter, as if in a ballet,

TODAY REMIND MYSELF TO LIVE EXTRAORDINARY LIFE TILL END

MY NEW YEAR CONFESSION: Why new year resolutions don't work

    So I have a confession to make; I totally forgot today is the beginning of a new year..... Juuuuuuuust kidding, hehehehe.
      It's that time again; the count down, fire works, shouts of "Happy New Yeeeeeaar!" , followed by the revered NEW YEAR RESOLUTION.
    I didn't make any resolutions this year, I didn't check if i kept to the resolutions I made last year; Why, you ask?, I'm about to tell you....

THE KNOWLEDGE

I am the glowing phoenix, the iolite phoenix,
the blue flame, the evolving child;
I am eternity summed up in the finite,
The flame that burns when the embers grow cold,

The Awakening

Catching Crazy

THE END OF WAR

"Only the dead have seen the end of war"... Plato.

      These words came as a bomb shell that made me think of the First World War, the war named "the war to end all wars", yet following that war has been the Second world war, and yet many civil wars....

WHEN I FIRST SAW YOUR EYES

Now I understand how the moon felt
when it first saw the earth;
"I'll stay with you forever" it said,
I felt lost at your sight;

THE YEARS OF YESTERNIGHT

If I smiled today, it was because you made me smile yesterday,
The little lights I've seen, the little winds I felt,
It was because you made me smile yesterday,

THE EVOLVING CHILD

    Have you ever noticed how you start out writing a poem, and somewhere along the line, somewhere down the middle, the story changes and takes a new meaning, It's concepts changing from what you originally intended, like an evolving child?.

I'LL WRITE AGAIN

The lightening flash,
No thunders splash,
And then it comes,
A little rumbling noise,

THE GRAIN AND THE SEA

Time has not been with me,

As if twenty four hours isn't enough,

It's been forever I last stopped to write,

But then i remembered, time does not wait in flight,

THE EVENING

Oh sun, who your light from heaven does shine,
And part the clouds so your rays day give,
Like the light of God, that on men does shine,

YOU DO NOT FEAR THE NIGHT

Come take a walk with me,
We'd walk past that shadowed hill,
The one made of rocks and trees,
The one that looks like folded black paper,
Against the purply black midnight sky,
