The Stolen and Shattered Heart: Was it a Wrong number?

Too often, one rushes into love thinking it is an open invitation, only to realize the most critical questions were left unasked. This piece captures the painful reality of discovering a deep connection was built entirely on a misunderstanding, leaving behind a trail of emotional and material costs. Moving forward, caution must become the compass; one cannot afford to let obsession blind their sight, nor can they allow their heart to be so easily handled. It stands as a stark reminder to thoroughly check the terrain before leaping, to protect one's vision, and to tread with absolute care in all future matters of the heart. Let us dive in to 

*The Stolen and Shattered Heart: Was it a Wrong number?*

Umm hmm... umm hmm... hmm

Airo Gero came

And made us alien again 

Now, I have to live with the pain

Not knowing why I was foolish to

not know how to gain

Foreknowledge on God's airo-gero affairs 


An "Airo Gero" shadow came across the lawn,

And made us aliens before the dawn.

I live with the pain, a foolish cost,

Blind to the borders that I crossed.

They’ll laugh it out loud, a funny game,

But stolen goods don’t return intact.

She stole my heart, a reckless theft,

Now not even for the Lord is there any left. 


"Good night," they whispered as they walked away,

"Good bye, my Lord," was all that I could say.

For three-and-twenty years of life eternal,

Wrapped tight in sufferings so internal.

A bubbly, chubby boy named Bubbles laughed,

"We all knew, man," he mocked my craft.

His "gud gud" laughter burnt the final spark,

Leaving a "Liying Relationship" in the dark. 


I am freed from a burden sweet to bear,

A heavy weight that was never mine to share.

Why didn’t I check before I leaped?

Look at the bitter harvest I have reaped.

Forty thousand down for a brand new space,

Ten thousand more soon taking its place.

Yet barred from the library I cherish most,

Living like a restricted, silent ghost. 


All because of one question left unsaid,

A simple, "Are you available?" in my head.

Now I walk carefully, testing the zone,

Lest I strike my foot against a stone.

Friends and foes in the pending bank must wait,

While I sit alone and weigh my fate.

They call me handsome, smart, and bright,

But the one I chased has dimmed my light. 


Was it a game she played so well?

Or a misunderstanding where I fell?

Defensive from the start, she drew the line,

Fueled by a stubborn obsession of mine.

Now brown, red, black, or white all fade,

Beneath the heavy, blinding shade.

I took my power glasses off my face,

Lest I see her dangerous, pretty grace.

No more money left to waste or lose,

No more tarnished images left to choose.

Celebrate Jesus Christ, The Light of Life and Love, this Diwali

As we celebrate Diwali, the festival of lights, let us remember that the most profound and irreversible darkness is death. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world (John 8:12).” Further, he declared, “I am the resurrection and life... He who believes in me will live even if he dies (John 11:25).” The light of the world came to reverse the darkness of death by his resurrection and a promise of future resurrection for all who believe in him. Resurrection is the only known cure for death. Homoeopathy, Allopathy,  or Ayurveda cannot reverse death. Only resurrection can reverse death. Jesus cured death. He also cured hatred with his love. That is why no religion or philosophy has defeated the gospel even after two thousand years of Jesus' advent. Martin Luther King Jr compared love to light and hatred to darkness. He said, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”  [1]   Love is light. Jesus is that loving ...

The Altar of the Unapproved

### Walking the Broken Road: 23 Years of Faith, Fire, and the Search for Grace They don’t like me, but they won't say it to my face. Instead, they use polite euphemisms to mask their disapproval, leaving me to decipher the unspoken heavy air around me. It has been twenty-three years since I walked out of my father’s house, leaving behind my security to follow a Lord I barely knew. In the decades since, that choice has brought me face-to-face with isolation, family heartbreak, cross-cultural friction, and the painful sting of broken relationships. I have known the joy of ministering to the forgotten on the margins, and the crushing weight of feeling entirely unseen by the very structures meant to reflect God's love.  Today, the battle has shifted inward, to a point where even choosing what clothes to wear feels like an exercise in avoiding offense. When the applause fades, the mega-churches look away, and the people you love distance themselves, you are left with raw, unanswered...

You Think You Know Me?

Poetry is often at its best when it refuses to be neat. True to the spirit of a loving rascal, this piece is a collection of beautiful contradictions—mixing the chaotic energy of football, the stinging reality of social divides, and the raw, unedited nature of real love. It is an invitation to look past the surface and see what it truly means to know someone. Here is "You Think You Know Me?"   To know me, you must first learn how to feel. You must hold the green rage of betrayal deep inside, Turning your face upward to seek comfort from above, Only to find it falling softly as the rain. And in that downpour, you must unleash a curved Messi left-footer —A ball borrowed from a Spanish fan— Painting a messy red, dangerous yet full of fun. You must dance when those skies break open, And taste the cold sweetness of ice cream in the storm. You must find the same wonder in the burning sun, As you do in the silver moon and stardust.   You cannot look away from the concrete floor, Whe...
