By Heart 4 poetry on January 19, 2010
Lord Jesus Christ,
I pray unto thee
that you open my eyes
so that I may see
the righteous path
thou has set for me.
Heal my heart
and mend my soul.
Help me to play
my servant role.
Lord Jesus Christ,
let me feel
thy precious, holy spirit
from head to heel.
Lead me through the paths
of which I may go.
Please, Lord, you lead the way
so that I [...]

By Heart 4 poetry on August 7, 2009
Just a little while longer
but look up, your nearly there.
Take God’s love and comfort
from his tender hand of care.
Think about only today
and forget about tomorrow.
And pray to the Lord.
He’ll take away your sorrow.
Your children are watching
every step you take.
So make sure you are wise
with every choice you make.
Call me a Bible thumper,
but what I say [...]

Autumn has arrived.
Trees decked out in Joseph’s coat
Reds, yellows, orange, rust, green
And every hue in between.
Leaves dancing and fluttering in the wind
Drop to earth
In a dizzy spin.
This wonderful display
Is short lived.
Winters winds will soon move in,
Earth takes on a
Different glow
With the arrival of first white snow.
Bundle up and brave the cold
Use both hands
Your hat to [...]

The prayer beads lie frozen in my soft hold,
As this irreverent realisation begins to unfold.
My knees have worn out cause of kneeling before you,
Mouthing my prayers that have always been just a few.
Every trial you threw I tried to pass,
But you did never stop Alas!
Now I am done and you can take the spoils,
Basking in [...]

The Lufthansa flight from Newyork landed in Chennai at 2:15 AM, thirty minutes later than the scheduled arrival time. Mohanasundaram was waiting at the arrival terminal with increasing anticipation. He scanned the hundred faces coming out of the airport for his son. After about forty-five minutes, Arun kumar walked out, waving his hands [...]

Present Day
It was the first Monday in weeks when I was not in office before ten. As I saw the frosted sundial of my old citizen ticking eleven thirty, I cursed myself for the umpteenth time for choosing that insurance company. I found out that the other companies did not require so many tests after [...]

It was early in December,
They had gathered out of fear,
As the bombs were falling ’round them, cries of terror filled each ear,
And they saw the buildings falling,
And they watched the people die,
And they heard the women screaming and they saw the children cry.
As the skies were turning hazy,
With the smoke of blast and fire,
They were [...]

My head’s in the sand,
And my butt’s in the air,
I’m hiding from trouble,
Not saying a prayer.
I think no one sees me,
I’m far out of sight,
Now all’s back to normal,
And everything’s right.
If I can’t see hunger,
It doesn’t exist,
If nations are fighting,
I can’t see their fist.
I live in my darkness,
And all is so fine,
The world is not [...]

This poem is based on an actual dream that I had.
I had a dream the other day,
Its vision will not go away,
About some people dressed in gowns,
(I know how strange this story sounds.)
Each gown was separate from the rest,
With different colours they were blest,
And everyone had points of view,
And revelations that were new.
They studied scripture, [...]

Walking by a candy shop,
The sight of gumdrops made me stop,
And with a penny in my hand,
I entered into Candyland.
The smell of chocolate was distinct,
And then a sight caused me to blink,
As if in answer to my prayers,
I saw a million chocolate bears.
Some were dark and some were light,
And some were very, very white,
Some were [...]
