RUTH’S GAMBLE


All

At once

The chance

Of a lifetime

Camouflaged

In acute adversity

Things are not what

What really seem to be

And Ruth seemed to figure

This out so well as she took stand

In a gamble that would define generations

In life and eternity – this in definitive signature

LEGEND OF HAPPILY EVER AFTER


Heart racing in pleasant thrill unbridled

When dusk is gone and light has come

Rays magnificent ushering

Glowing smile marking herald’s demeanor

Amid victor’s song beyond barrier and obstacle

Like a fountain of worship throbbing

Glee richly overflowing

Happily ever after

OAK OF ARIMATHEA


It echoed from township prominent

Resounding chord

 That drove the verdict home

Loud and clear

Like luster of the sunset

Wrap pronounced

Or was it a wrap

By cream virtuous

Cream

Of Arimathea

TEN PLUS ONE


Veteran’s retrospect

Legend’s life trail

Thrilling in exploit detail

Making of the grand legacy

Heartfelt

Personal

Embodied

It captivates and inspires

Two sides of the same coin

Eliciting unified reception

Awe arousing

Cross continental

Intrigue

Sum total

Ten plus one

MEETING POINT


“Beware of the mystery spot that enjoins motive and conscience; More important, the enclave that encapsulates the duo. For…fff…f.” He paused, indicating progress with a gentle nod, desperately gasping for breath, his left fist tightly clenched. Continue reading “MEETING POINT”

SNAKES AND LADDERS!


“Your name again?” He momentarily fidgeted at his seat struggling to stay composed in the face of the unusual transmission via intercom in the situation room. Continue reading “SNAKES AND LADDERS!”

VEILED 2


Continued from last week…

He frowned at the contrast between the beautiful glowing face and the image depicted by the tattoo. How could the two exist together? Talking of discrepancies, this day seemed to present more than just one illustration on the matter. He felt like one lost in a hostile wilderness going round and round in circles of motion with no progress.

“Are you okay sir?” Came the gentle voice underlined with delicate innocence that caused his heart to race fast. Continue reading “VEILED 2”

THIS IS FOR YOU…WITH LOVE!


Passion! At the sound of the seven letters, thousands of words well up the imagination realm,dialects oscillate with curiosity  and a galaxy of pictures and story lines in name and biography begin to paint in radiant glow. It is the mark of distinction in the intriguing life trail bearing equal love and hatred for Excellence and  passivity,Legend and mediocre. I can’t appreciate you enough fellow bloggers. Knowing you and drawing from your incredible resilient spirit has made a whole difference for me. Many thanks!

Thank you Justice for Raymond (http://justiceforraymond.wordpress.com/) for nominating me for The Addictive Blog Award. Your heartfelt noble and uniquely contagious drive for justice towers high in inspiration.  As I accept this nomination, this with much gratefulness, I applaud your precious contribution and I’m convinced it’s the same special feeling shared by many of us here. Our very best wishes to you.You are not alone! I am fully persuaded, without a shadow of doubt or fear of contradiction-when all is said and done; when the chords of treachery, the antics of oppression and ‘experts’ of confusion have attained their flimsy best…fatally sealing their fate in inescapable ominous grip as motive of heart lies bare,  JUSTICE stands King,brilliantly radiating through the thickest of blindfolds in vivid sight,effectively routing the most vicious of her antagonists. If she could be shredded to a trillion pieces in a vicious thrust to silence her, she would immediately sprout up in a trillion voices of  unrelenting revolution.It’s the spectacle no fire will quench nor consume…not now, not ever; the  cause no barricade will halt. The Rock no arm twister will break. If she could be crushed from ice,she will resiliently navigate the quest as liquid and when the heat is unbearably high, the mission will unstoppably triumph as vapor. Justice will never end…she won’t stay silent.  Justice reigns SUPREME. Justice will rule the world. To Justice belongs the infinite last laugh, in life and beyond!

I will share this solemn moment with the following:

One of the most amazing facts in my blogging journey has been the ever-growing sense of family within this wonderful fraternity.It’s the kindred dream of greater possibilities that has constantly inspired much passion for many of us,I believe, who have found reason to keep going. Thank you Ivon (http://ivonprefontaine.wordpress.com/) for the Booker Award nomination. Clearly this was such a pleasant surprise. As an educator and a beacon, you have consistently and passionately painted the picture so well…pointing generations to higher heights…indeed, a  noble call for a chosen few. As I accept this nomination, it is with great humility and an inspirational charge to greater depths. Thank you!

Here are the acceptance rules:

List my five favorite books.  What a call! Next to impossible! I finally decided to go back in time to the nostalgic oldies that so thrillingly and memorably marked the early days of my reading  in an epidemic fashion!!!

  1. Thunder Point(Jack Higgins.)…Talk of overstretched boundaries. I wouldn’t dream it all up in 10 centuries!
  2. Nancy Drew Mystery Stories…(The Secret of the Old Clock) by Carolyn Keene. Now, this series was one of those places things wouldn’t just stay in the real world!
  3. The Parsifal Mosaic(Robert Ludlum.)…I have read of and seen plots thicken. This one though was an all time classic!
  4. The Bible (How 66 portions authored by 40  different people for close to two centuries hold together in a perfect  flow as if written by one author is a mystery I’m grappling with even now)
  5. The Roswell UFO Crash-‘what they don’t want you to know'(Kal K. Korff). When you see humanity’s curiosity, on the possibility of a reality high above our visible realm, stirred so vigorously,it for sure offers some food for thought!

Below are my nominees as I accept this award. Their contribution among that of others not included here has had a positive impact on me.

    Again, a big thank-you to Ivon (http://ivonprefontaine.wordpress.com/) for nominating me for the new Reality Blog Award. When I received the news, the first thing that came to mind was the portrait of Teacher as Transformer. This being a new award, there is an evident freshness to it.You capture the picture so well  in your special part as a role model in defining culture. Thanks for so generously sharing of yourself and about yourself. Best wishes in your endeavors.May you never tire.

    I dedicate this award especially to all my followers and visitors and to all folks out there who have kept it real. You deserve every bit of it. This is for you, with love! Kudos for your tireless effort in staying the course and for the amazing support.

    There is no specific way for accepting this nomination so I will answer the questions below mostly adopted from Ivon:

    1) If you could change something what would you change?

    The day injustice entered the world.

    2) If you could relive one day, when would that be?

    The day I fell in love!

    3) What one thing really scares you?

    Missing touch with destiny!

    4) What one dream have you not completed yet and do you think you will be able to complete it?

    Effectively conquering my fears so I can infect others with the taste of success . Yes I will!

    5) If you could be someone else for the day, who would you be?

    I would be the source of victory,so I could hand it on a silver platter especially to the oppressed and all my friends!

    I nominate as a representative group the following acquaintances for this award:
