Regrets

The old flame left
A new hope came
Still couldn't help this bereft
Stuck on you, old flame

I pushed new hope away

I maybe am an ingrate
Another road I deny
Eating myself up with hate

Peek at myself in the river.

Say I ain't wrong
Seek solace until it's over
Since flying is the prong

Fading fire now gone

I seek a different light
Roughly relating the old one
Waiting amidst the dark night.

Meleria's Sonnet

It seemed to be a new life at the time, You caught my attention unconsciously; I was in need, and you helped willingly, A unique bond grew and was pure as lime; You are the lyrics of the string’s rhyme, My dream’s exact epitome, shockingly; A magical sense exist swiftly, I was reluctant ‘cause it’s like a crime; And when He heard me, confusions came too; 'Guess I wasn’t ready at the time yet; All is said and done, what else could I do? Pain crushed me, and it seemed too hard to beat, Blade tears me when thud rose from the piano, Mind of hate, soul of love, heart of regret. - M

Stolen

You epitomize the intimidating beauty of coldness in spite of its warmth all over your expression. You’re the exact personification of confusion since day one but still charming as the snuggling Shih Tzu. You unintentionally paint pictures of simple gestures and unconsciously draw me smiling all by myself. I'm not really sure where this is taking me but I'm willing to leave everything behind and move forward. I don't know what this entails but I'm willing to take risks for as long as you and I deserve it. I'm not so sure of what this means to you but I want you to know that I'm willing to open up if only you'd ask me to. You intimidate and irritate me, Yet you inspire me. - M

Obey

Why do you do what you do? For whom do you offer the things that you do? What is your primary concern when you make decisions? Can you imagine yourself doing something you don’t understand but you do it anyway out of obedience? I, myself, don’t fully understand the concept of obedience. It has been a constant struggle for me. However, the Bible is strewn with stories that teach us how to be obedient. Like Joseph for example. Joseph knew that he will be judged by others when he decided to obey God, when he chose to be with Mary. Yet he followed what God had instructed him to do. Despite the uncertainties and the struggles he and his bride might face, he trusted and obeyed God. A year ago, I was asked why I wanted to be an engineer. My answer at that time may not be wrong but the conversation showed me a new perspective. I was told that while my answer was for the right reasons, still, I should be doing the things that I do for a greater purpose. And that is for God’s glory ...
