Love
          Written by Ryan Mascarenhas

I walk on the path, the one picked at birth,
By choices so wrong, I now stamp on this earth,
Yielding heavy burdens, and dragging many chains,
Crossing many lands, while my soul maintains

I should die of thirst, I should die of strain,
I should die of hunger, I should die of pain,
But not once am I alone, not once do I fall,
I stand strong on my feet, never to sprawl

Why do I survive, why can I walk,
Are my burdens supported, by those that do talk,
Of happiness with mirth, and of joy blessed with wit,
Always assuring, I am never desolate? 

Indeed, that is it! Indeed there is love!
What could explain, the sound of the Dove,
That flaps its wings, and passes from Heaven,
And blesses the Earth, with dew drops that leaven 


For I am never alone, I am never below,
I am always surrounded, by those that do sow,
The Love and the happiness, that keeps man alive,
The factors of life, many journey and strive


Love so great! Love so kind!
Love that is, impossible to find!
Who do I thank, who do I praise?
Who has blessed me, with the Sun's rays? 

For it was the Dove, that traveled to Heaven,
The Holy Spirit of God, that sent out to leaven,
The hearts of the world, so the world could be new,
abundant with joys, thats why it flew 

It flew from the Father, that is seated in Glory,
With the Sun and the stars, and the ultimate story,
Of Love and of Sacrifice, of forgiveness and loss,
and of Faith and of Hope, that came through a Cross



For through Love he had died, on the tree with the nails,
That declared Him King, and mocked him with hails,
And had flogged and had crushed, and had broken His bones,
And left him to die, with the grass and stones,

But with Love, He forgave us, with love He guided,
Jesus our Saviour, the one who divided,
The good from the evil, the right from the wrong,
The blessing from bane, the weak from the strong 

And with Glory they sit, on thrones in the sky,
Showing us that love, is always so nigh,
For the sky is above us, and not out of view,
It is always around us, and that is so true 

Love, so powerful, a gift from above,
That passed from Heaven, with the wings of the Dove,
That came down with Angels, and choirs so great,
Unmatched are their sounds, against protests that hate 

My burdens are gone, my chains are unshackled,
I will follow the rule, even if tackled,
For I have been blessed, as low as I am,
with Love so joyous, from the great Lamb 

Love so great, love at its height,
Defeats all known enemies, knowing it is right,
Never to drown, in the pain and in sorrow,
For redemption and salvation, is for us tomorrow.

JESUS- The  Lover Of my Soul

How will I ever tell the beauty of the lover of my soul

Who had loved me with a true everlasting love and made me whole

I just keep admiring His  dazzling sweet round face

A face full of affection, compassion and grace

The beauty of His jet black curly hair

Really I have seen no where a person so fair

His caring eyes and His majestic walks

When sadness strikes how He talks

While my heart was stinking full of sin

And was  filled with bitterness and no peace within

I saw a great dazzling light which was just covering someone like a veil

I lifted it up and could not bear to see my beloved nailed

The face of beauty I once saw was gone

It was just filled with only sorrow and mourn

He opened His eyes and looked at me and what it meant I knew

He just smiled and said ‘See how much I love you’

I looked at the stretched out arms and pierced legs

I could see the wounded heart and bleeding head

I was very much pained at heart and tears just fled

Then I fell down at His divine feet

And something filled me a peace so sweet

My burdens seemed to vanish and my weakness and sins just flew

Just then I felt a hand around me and  I looked up to see it was who

Happiness and joy flooded in me when I saw my love and He said

‘Oh my love it was all for you’

ONLY THE DEEP QUIET OCEAN

--------------------------------------------

Standing here all alone nothing around me ,
only the deep quiet ocean...
I hear a voice. ..
i look around but no one is around me
i ask myself :
is it the voice of the waves
or is it the voice of my imagination?
no, it's whispering
more and more into my ears
i can't understand only the last three words
...suddenly i am not alone,
i can feel you next to me,
i try to touch you,|
you are not here
but the voice the voice is still whisperingand i can feel you not
with your body but
with your spirit
which is surrounding me
from all around
not letting me feel alone
by whispering the words: i love you

An Easter Poem
 
I love Easter I do, I do
The eggs, the Chocolate the Easter hunt too!
But to me it's not the eggs, nor the chocolate,
Its a time of giving
Easter is a time to remember
Easter is a time to thank
Easter is a time to come together
as a family & remember the man who
gave his life to save us all.
That is the true meaning of Easter

Mr. Uncertain

 

On my way up the steep mountain

I happened to meet Mr. Uncertain

I know he’s been following me throughout

Sometimes confronting me with doubt

 

My journey, at first was a sure thing

Carrying me forward and faster in full swing

The few little steps I took with support

Strengthened in me the spirit of sport

 

Half way through the trip

My memory did unzip

A long and complex way ahead

Gathering strength, I tread

 

This is when I met the Mister

He sure caused me a fever blister

All of a sudden, I lost my grip

I felt adrift like an abandoned ship

 

The Mister is right behind my back

Waiting to blow a surprise attack

I know not my destination

Critical is my situation

 

My walk has slowed, but I proceed

I stay focused, by thought, word and deed

I cannot return to the foothills

Everything happens as God wills

The Fall Fall

 

Yellow, Orange, Brown, Green

Everywhere to be seen

Flying in clusters in the air

Knowing it is their annual affair

 

Few jump into the water to be carried away

Some give up; fall to the ground to decay

Some keep clinging to their support

While some tear apart as a last resort

 

A few kill themselves by falling under the wheels

While some crush themselves under the heels

This attempt in vain to perish

Comes after the colorful display to cherish

 

Having lived the best

They decide to rest

This is my story that evolves

Around the colorful Autumn leaves

 

Come by me

 

Come by me, hold my hand

I need to take a stand

In this promised native land

I am often left offhand

 

When will I see the colors of the rainbow?

And be elated from head to toe

Can I close my eyes to the bright light?

And walk about myself in much delight

 

Apart from this one color I see

Any hope I cannot foresee

I am being hurled and twirled

Imprisoned in this dark world

 

A light at the end of the tunnel

I hear people wish well

But will I ever see that light

Hope keeps me alive  and upright

 

 

Swollen and swelling with Pride

 

 

She fell down, down the stairs

Running to answer her baby’s affairs

Before she could realize what happened

There she was hurt and unshapened

Wriggling pain all over

She was in a fit of fever

A swelling here and a swelling there

Broken bones needed repair

White bandage around the right hand

The left leg had a large white band

There she lay resting on her bed

Visiting people tear did shed

Gifts and cards all around

Fruits and cakes did abound

She was happy and never did lament

Because in a moment she was prominent

Utmost care and attention to detail

Above all relaxation to prevail

Rest, rest and more rest

She thought she was blest

Pride taking over the pain

She was really enjoying the gain

As though her fame spread far and wide

She was swollen and swelling with pride

 
Disability


D renched in the summer rain
I   n the middle of the garden green
S winging and singing to my heart's content
A n indefinable tune playing in and out of my mind
B reath taking moments, bubbling laughter
I   knew not the time, nor the day
L ong enough was my dream, my wheelchair hit a curb
I   t was an incredible dream
T hanks to my Wonderful Creator
Y es, Disability is in my body, not in my mind.

Over and over again

 

 

Sun rises and sets, moon shines and hides

River flows and dries, ocean roars on the shores

Flower blooms and fades, tree grows and dies

Over and over again

 

Earth evolves and revolves, weather chills and heats

Sky showers and snows, land produces and reduces

Light darkens and brightens, color shades and fades

Over and over again

 

Time lies and flies, year rolls and tolls

Man soils and toils, wealth owes and flows

Bird hatches and detaches, animal resists and exists

Over and over again

 

Rocket soars and explores, Plane flies and lands

Ship sails and prevails, Train rails and derails,

Car races with pace, bike reels on wheels

Over and over again

 

Nature conceals and reveals

Mind attracts and distracts,

Body deals and heals,  

Man is born and gone

Over and over again

I and ME

 

 

 

I am Cranky

I feel like juggling myself and throwing myself on the ground

With mixed feelings chasing me round and round

Out of control and my patience almost drowned

I wish I were floating in the air unbound

 

 

I am Childish

I feel like eating food with food smeared all over my face

With all my movements inching at snail’s pace

Out of my mind and me in no trace

I wish I were running a race

 

 

I am Angry

I feel like fighting with everybody

With aimless arrows flying at somebody

Out in the wilderness, it could be anybody

I wish I were a Nobody

 

 

I am Weak

I feel blown away in the wind like a piece of paper

With hollow feelings carrying me even faster

Out of the dark mean yonder

I wish I were stronger

 

 

I am Asleep

I feel like as though I am walking down a stream

With all gleam, carrying myself in full esteem

Out of the troublesome extreme

I wish it was not a dream

 

The Solitary Swan

 

Every morning as I ride the GO

I pass the Solitary Swan on the glow

It is just a fraction of a second that I see it you know

It portrays a whole lot of characteristics though

 

All by itself, swaying gently in the water

Clad in white, purer and greater

With no one to deter and Nature to cater

Pride and Individuality displayed by the Solitary Skater

 

Brightened by the morning rays of the Sun

Serene and secure on the long run

Nature in full unity with this watery den

Peace and Harmony displayed by the Solitary One

 

The Sunlight in contact with the white feather

The spotless white beauty sews our hearts together

The blue black eyes twinkle in the fair weather

Beauty and Splendor displayed by the Solitary Golden Heather 

Tear (s)

 

A drop of water with a tint of salt

Bringing sorrows to a part time halt

Originating from the safe vault (eyes)

Flowing without any gravity fault

 

Stimulated by a painful assault

It could be a judgement by default

Or stirred by a sense of exalt

A giant leap in pole vault

 

Pain and sorrow - call a halt

Freshen it up with a chocolate malt

If you are pinned to the vault

Topsy Turvey-could be a Disney Walt
