Where Will I Go From Here


 


When the pen could no longer

Scribble how I am feeling…


When I could no longer find 

how to paint my mind…


When my voice 

I could no longer hear…

Where will I go from here…

A Crying Soul


 

A Crying Soul


Not a poet at all…

just putting in words

the bewailing of my soul

No fascinating verses or prose

just echoes of every teardrops 

mists of life’s blows…


I am no poet at all

Just a wretched heart

ravaged and consumed 

crying in unending rain

walking through my storms …

I Love you Lord

I love you Lord
Though
my eyes are sore in tears
and my heart deeply in great pain...

I love you Lord
Though
my days are spent in griefs 
and my life is a fate
of crumbs and leftovers....

I Love you Lord
Through 
all that in my life 
you allowed and willed 
to happen...
Through the losses and frailties...
Through nothingness...

PTSD

PTSD
Do you know them?
Do you really understand 
what they're going through?
Do you feel their pain?
Do you hear what they hear?
Do you see what they see?
Can you feel their agony?
You will never know
If you are not one...

He will get you through...

God has reasons...
Though in tears 
Though in pain 
just let it flow
because faithfully 
He will get you through
until we know and understand 
the reasons of the many why's...

I Kneel...

Oh what amazing comfort it is 
to trust and believe the heart of God...
Oh what solitude to understand 
God can never be wrong...
In all my deepest pain
facing life's truths and realities
though in streaming tears
my heart is resting 
in trusting God's grace...

Oh God I will draw myself to you
I will cling in you...
When my sadness and pain 
is drowning me within...
when it's mist is pulling me in strain
and my heart starts to crumble again 
faced by the dagger of reality 
to you I come and kneel...

If God would...



They said 
Never stop asking God
Never give up 
on your hopes and dreams...
They just don't know
the truth that I am living in...
They just don't hear and see
my anguish 
to God I cried all nights all day...
If God would only give me 
one chance to ask  and pray...
I know needless for me to say...
He knew it all so well...
Everything...All the way...

Facing Hopelessness


Facing hopelessness 
is facing reality...
It may mean giving up
on the things that matters much
It may mean to accept things 
that are not meant to be...
as with things that are meant to be...
It doesn't mean giving in to defeat
But being brave to stand and believe 
that there are reasons and purposes
for everything...
Though things aren't going your way 
though to hope 
is what your heart wishes to be 
though to have hope 
is what you want to pray...
Facing hopelessness 
is facing truth and reality...

I want to believe...

Oh how my heart 
wants to believe 
that God desires 
to grant my wishes
and wipe my tears away 
as He comfort me 
in His embrace...

When miracles He will not send...

Oh God...
can I pray for a miracle?
Oh Lord...
would you send a miracle?
Or are you testing me through all the pain
if I will trust and have faith in your will
when miracles you will not send...

Oh God...
You know I believe in You
In whatever may be
through the tears and pain
though miracles you will not send 
I will trust in You...

Wish Love was Real

I wish that love is true 
I wish that love is real
I wish your heart was true 
I wish your love was real 

You promised 
you're here to stay
Yet you turned your back 
and walked away...

In your grace...


"Gods grace is not with us ..."
Gods grace is not in me...(?)
Oh God...
How this words cut my heart...
How this truth pierced my soul...
To be not in your grace...
To be out from your grace...
Oh Lord...
You know 
How this truth 
hath melted me...
To be away from your grace 
what a cursed creature I could ever be...
But I know...
This  is not what you want me to be
This is not what you willed for me...
Out from your grace
you will not leave me...
for in your grace 
is where you want me to be
is where you embrace me...

Hopelessness

How wonderful is the word Hope...
It brightens a way...
It opens a pathway to strive...
It gives life a meaning...
It invigorates a soul...

But there are things 
that Hope can never change...
They are called reality and truth
Which only acceptance and faith
for the will and purposes of God
is the only choice...

It is called hopelessness 
a bitter truth...

I wonder...

Father God
How do you see me?
What is my image to thee?

How do you look at me?
What am I to thee?

I wonder Oh God
what are your thoughts
about me...

In words...


My soul hid in words...
there's nowhere  I could go 
from void and emptiness 
in each passing moment
as I breathe each passing day 
in my painful truth and reality...

They said...

       They said...

They said..."forget..."
They never know it's not that easy...

They said..."be strong..."
Do they know how it is...
Do they know how heavy...

They said..."hope..."
Have they been in hopelessness...
Have they lived in painful truth...

They said..."have faith..."
Only God knows how I believe...

How I wish...

How I wish God
will bless
the beats of my heart...
How I wish God
will move the universe 
to change my story...
How I wish God
will make things happen...
How I wish God 
will pave the way...
How I wish God
will will it for me...

Trust in the Lord Completely

Trust in the Lord 
Completely...

Trust in His purposes and will...
It's always good and best...
In sweet surrender...
though in tears...
in bended knees...
in brokenness...

Trust that He delights in you 
trusting in Him...
Delight your heart also in Him...

In His perfect time 
He will lead you to His will...
When you completely trust in Him...

like a dying candle...

Like a dying candle
waiting for the last
tiny blow of wind 
then it's gone...
I pray my hopelessness 
sadness and pain
shall be blown away 
with the wind...





What can i do?

What can I do Oh God
Knowing  it is your will...
My sadness I can not hide
my pain I can not pretend...
My tears are streaming 
yet I can not
detest your will...
What can I do Oh God
when I know it is your will...
