The Return

He calls out she stops dead in her tracks He calls again She pauses, listens and turns Looks but can't see She continues her train He calls out once more. There is no mistaking she has heard. She turns South, East, West But she doesnt see him She becomes determined, keeps searching, frantically She stumbles, slips, and begins to fall Just when her back should have touched the floor, He stretches out His hand and picks her up, sets her on her feet. Her cheecks become full circles as she smiles in recognition. She tries to go closer but is prevented by a barrier. He is radiating. His garments are shimering. While she, her garments hang shabily around her like rags. She hesitates. He watches, waiting. At that moment, all is forgotten She runs to his embrace He lifts her up. Her garments undergo a transformation Royal purple and a crown of Gold to perfect it. He smiles at her, purity is her name. He stretches out His hand towards her, and takes her home.

After the Storm

The thunder roars Lightening flashes The clouds rumble The sky remains midnight black The trees and plants bend over as if in submission, begging to be spared Everyone is confused, as the sky was once blue The rains begin to fall in a heavy downpour Engulfing everything they come across as if in a fury Drenching the entire human race And suddenly, it ceases Like there never was a drizzle Suddenly the black sky turns blue The whites begin to seep in too, forming a cool color The trees stand straighter The grass is fresher, greener The sand looks cleaner The birds are very thrilled and sing in their best voices The gutters gurgle with pleasure as the roads are swollen The atmosphere is beautiful The humans are amazed at the sudden change.

ANOTHER COLD WAR???

I once thought the cold war only occurred between nations - USSR & USA I once thought such a great event would never repeat itself I once thought human beings had learnt a great lesson I once thought I knew the history until now I thought wrong This time it has reoccurred. This time between people and not nations Between neighbours and not towns Between roommates and not neighbours - The cold war - Giving silent treatment to one's neighbour like he doesn't exist The anger and hatred far spent, all energies burnt All that is left is the icy cold treatment. Shouts and cries are much more pleasant to bear than this silence The silence is deafening, breaking down old walls of cement and reinforcing walls of concrete in its place. With the determined resolve o make it unbreakable.  - The cold war - Despite its threat, they still have the nerve to smile Putting on different masks for different occasions Knowing that one day, they'll end up bursting, but caring nonetheless Eac...

Hypocrisy

On the outside she sparkles Glittering, glowing radiantly Beautiful in everything With her smile, your soul is lifted She laughes and its like you have been to heaven But then Something happens that turns everything around Suddenly, she falls and needs to be attended to Her raiment's are removed in preparation for the first aid Then the shocker comes. The people are appalled, horrified They become disgusted. Her under garments boom With a repulsive repugnant smell Then the world knows how radiant she is indeed They desert her Never to be deceived again by external appearance.

Hatred

That bitter poision that seepd past ever so gently So as not to be noticed Spreading its fangs Gradually corrupting a system leaving it completely paralysed. That deadly stuff - Beware!!! It begins with anger Anger left to grow hot till it begins to simer and boil over Leaving no room for peace Peace flees With a burning sensation taking its place The heart once peaceful boils over Turns red with rage Gradually, the poision destroys the individual Till he is swallowed up in his own destruction He withers, wasting away.

Market place

Once I went to the Market I saw a man, His brother and Son. They wanted to purcahse some items as is usual with people in the square. But something was unusual... The man saw some things, dirty and insignificant if you ask me, very tiny Like ants, but lost without a leader left to the storms of life The father turned to his son, He was on his knees, helping the things to their feet. Releiving them of their burdens He nods in agreement gives up his son as currency in exchange for theses things. The son becomes soap and washes them. They become clean, transformed. The father and Son leave the market. With the things, they leave the brother to guide and guard them. To serve as their conscience until the return with his sin to claim their purchase.

The Examination Day

The bells chime The books sit down They begin to write For hours unending, they pour out their minds A do or die affair. The bell chimes. Finally they stop writing. Some are happy and call the exam substandard Some are angry at the books Others are indifferent Some lament for plans foiled but nobody really knows until the judgement day which book studied which and which book has become which

RUMOUR

Hmmm, rumour mongers They usually come in whispers Some with shouts of joy Some with wailing and lamentations The end result is usually anger Anger by the accused Anger at betrayal, secrets exposed The only solution is a reversal of what has been broadcast This is impossible because a rumour, once released can never be returned. Be careful what with what you say. Your words just might return to haunt you!
