The Lover's Dilemma: Lifelong Mutual Faithfulness

The Constant Refrain Vulnerable, foolish, deceived, captivated, Was I, am I, will I be As long as you linger on in my broken heart. My heart is fooled So many times, so easily, It doesn’t sense danger well. “Are you so dangerous? Your little deceptive eyes don’t threaten me at all. They are magic, magic, penetrate my soul.” How many times I counselled my silly heart: Beware of girls who have a stony heart, The heart that seldom melts when it sees The lover’s dilemma. Everytime my heart feels down, down, and down, Until I reach the lowest point of my existence— Breathless, gasping for air, as if all is lost, My stomach hurts, An emptiness that defies logic fills it fast. ------------------------------ ## The View from the Sidelines Yesterday, on my way back, I saw people happy and sad, Pains they carry, their sunken faces reveal. Some looked bright while others ignored every happening. I felt like an orphan still, alone and vulnerable, Avoided a few seats lest people misinterpret me. I ...

The Dead Company: The Whitewashed Tombs

  It hurts when you know The people whom you trusted above all Were faking it all along. It hurts when you know What affects you means nothing to them at all. It hurts when your whole Future hangs on promises made By people who betray you. Naive and honest, you believed. Credulous, you accepted all that was said. Without calculation, your heart was sleeved, While they wove a trap of deception instead. Then, at the peak of their hidden game, The blow was struck, you were caught off guard. The dear and beloved brought the shame, And left your trusting spirit scarred. It hurts when you know The people whom you trusted above all Were faking it all along. It hurts when you know What affects you means nothing to them at all. It hurts when your whole Future hangs on promises made By people who betray you. They say God won't forsake your side, That His Spirit dwells where the faithful stand. But when the rubber hits the road to ride, And true faces show across the land, You wonder why you ...

Oh, what a Love!

A beautiful meditation on divine grace and human devotion. Inspired by the ultimate example of selfless love, O, What a Love! explores the profound freedom we are given to choose our path, how that grace drives us to serve others, and how it beautifully mirrors the vulnerability and total commitment of marriage. Oh, what a Love! You made yourself nothing, You made yourself freely available to me, So comfortable I could feel to decide freely To follow or deny you. What a lover you are? My Lord, my God. That even before your hands shaped the cosmic dust, You saw me in You. Even then, you coerced me not to come to you; You just came, you died, You lifted up and conquered me. Precious and honoured you called me in your sight. When I was just a jar of clay, Brittle and unshapeable, You placed in me Your power enormous— The self-giving love that keeps me wondering: How amazing is your master-plan for eternal life? The energy at work in me drives me to the poor, The weak, and the vulnerable, ...

Wishing to be The Wind: Someday...

Disclaimer: To the Secret Person close to my heart. It is a work of Fiction and magic of deep emotions. Any resemblance to living or dead –who don't think they have anything to do with this– is a mere coincidence and unintentional. Take it as a work of art and love, not meant for the faint hearted conspirators. No prejudice, no bias, only love expressed as mercy and kindness.   "My would-be to be, I wrote this poem thinking about you. It speaks a lot to how much I admire you, your passions, and how much I'd love to get to know your world even better. I wanted to share it with you straight from the heart."  Wishing to be The Wind: Someday... I wish I were the wind That blew across your face, As you held your silky, flowing hair In place with your χεῖρα. The wind that separates The chaff from the grain, The wind that soothes All your hidden pain. When God created your beautiful face, He knew before the dawn of time How it would draw my curious mind to you. I never waste...

Two Hours at a Time: A Bad Life Lived Well

A Bad life I lived it well Two hours each I spent  for my grandma, daughter and mom, And for my friend who was all alone As I faced tragedies and humiliations  one after the other ranging from  a failed ministry, a difficult divorce,  false accusations, employment issues,  to an emotional breakdown. My life did seem as bad as it could get,  But fight I did to live it well  with love for one and all The library met my queries and  the Bible helped me make sense of it all. Two hours I spent With my grandma in my childhood, Everyday, cooking, Greetings neighbours, Treating lepers well, Playing card games, And, hearing stories, poems, legends and epics. Mahabharat was there, There was Ramayana too, But the theme that lingered Was of betrayal and love so true. Two hours I spent, Perhaps, more, Every day with my daughter, As long as she was with me. We made dosas, played touch, cricket, Hide and seek, Occasionally futball. We created bedtime stories Of ...

Kolaveri Liars and Smiling Saints: Am I the least of their concern?

Welcome back, fellow rascals. Today’s piece kicks off with a tense street confrontation, dives straight into the heavy psychology of human deceit, and somehow perfectly bridges the gap between deep Christian theology (εν Χριστώ) and iconic Indian cinema. From the biochemical metaphors of cell receptors to the global spectacle of political currency, this spoken-word poem questions the masks we all wear. When the world looks at you with furious rage or an alluring, deceptive smile, who are you really? And more importantly—are they even looking at you, or just projecting their own battles? Mal pani thinks I’m a bad guy, He has no knowledge of who am I? A few months ago, some Muslim guys Thought they figured out who am I? They surrounded me, argued, closing the space, Wanting to beat me up, black and blue, in rage. I asked them what’s the matter for your rage, They said they knew who am I? I was excited, because I didn't yet know, Deep in my soul, who am I? I always thought I’m εν Χρισ...
