MONSTROUS


Inviting, irresistible, drawing in tantalizing fashion to the Promised Land

A terminally elusive destination dotted with infinite mirages

Heartbeat of false promise

Passion along course of wrong turn

Full flight down the bottomless pit

Pull of the crater mouth in full zest

The mystery of self Continue reading “MONSTROUS”

STILL


Wallowing in the murk of pain and perplexity, she struggles to stay afloat

In traumatic sea of despair

Humongous waves overwhelming in mighty toss and pounce

Tails swirl as the ominous hungry sharks menacingly angle on target

She anxiously stares against hope – all strength drained off

Seized with fear indescribable Continue reading “STILL”

TO MY BELOVED MOTHERLAND!


Glorious in heritage

Destined

Captivating in beauty

You are my Motherland!

Awe inspiring in diverse composition

Unmatched

You have evolved

eventful

resilient, gallantly

Beaming with an enduring hope

Mark of promise

Resolve unbreakable

You’ve graciously held together

Quest for the dream

And what a voyage! Continue reading “TO MY BELOVED MOTHERLAND!”

AUSPICIOUS


Continued from last week’s ONE MOMENT IN TIME

“Right where they are now…wait a minute!” Came a gentle whisper as he lowered his hand, eyes fixed on the couple. He was peculiarly zeroing in on the lady’s arms. His counterpart had a fair understanding of the shades of moments and their accompanying significance. This one was not impotent.

The Patriot’s eyes were suddenly overflowing with life as the peasant duet came closer. He stood petrified, in a fixed gaze, as his counterpart looked on, mouth wide open, hands stuck to her chest. He reached out for the bundle of joy handed over to him in what depicted a flawlessly rehearsed script. Continue reading “AUSPICIOUS”

ONE MOMENT IN TIME!


Another day! A morning. At sunrise! One may as well have called it dawn…Yes! Especially that one… Dawn! Sometimes it’s all one and the same word, others one and the same thing. The distinctions on the shades there-in do not always stand out. Because the sting of the mundane renders one too many numbed til it doesn’t really matter.For one already saw it yesterday, there it is today, as expected, with tomorrow a sure bet in occurrence and fashion alike. Continue reading “ONE MOMENT IN TIME!”

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:
