The Bliss of Hamattan III - Reflections

I

Twist and turns, flashbacks in me, burn..
With fury in my head..
Mem'ries of years past, dead and gone..
Flickers with pain instead..


Times when the dry winds spoke like whips.
Lashed on the skin of they..
Who knew not how to keep their lips..
From ranting everyday..


Songs of Christmas, songs of his birth.
Songs of tear-slain goodbyes..
When the tempest watched to its death.
Victories won in its eyes..


Weathered in ashes of his love.
Smouldered to thanksgiving..
Ensnared with blessings from above..
In-spite our misgivings.


Spirally, mem'ries in me burn,
Like cinders in my head.
Mem'ries of deeds done, dead and gone.
Flickers in white and red..


II

The white hue tinted atmosphere..
Brings reflections of clay..
When dust enclosed the hemisphere,
with hymns in Christened play..


Of stars above the dark blue sky.
Of histories made of dawn..
Of chords played amidst fireflies..
Of salvation reborn.


While we strayed towards paths of sin..
And took his death in vain..
And made his name, shadowed, unseen..
And made him weep in pain..


He brought us in, he made us see,
The wonders of his love..
Into his avalanche mercy,
He cleansed us by his blood.


Spirally, reflections is spawn..
With rhythms in my head,
Of two thousand years dead and gone..
Sewn in memories thread..


III

While the yuletide speaks of his birth..
Let's reflect on the man..
Who in love, died to defeat death..
And placed on it a ban.


While in travails we chant the hymns.
That brought us to his grace..
Let our minds sleep on cradle beams..
Of sunset as we gaze.


That we may rest as bliss resound,
In cities made of gold..
That tears may find joy and abound..
In seasons as of old..


With chickens, turkeys, rice and stew..
Extol this son of man..
With joyous tunes, of songs that blew..
The bliss of hamattan..

One.... two... three. in constant increments, we began the fire that merged two worlds together. "Analysis check" was the phrase I evoked in constant scrutiny of these raging magma in my veins. Our meeting was a constellation of fireflies in space. in which we drowned subconsciously, but somehow evolved into amphibians. that could adapt to these changes terraforming our minds into colonies of insanity. Your eyes is the gate to a world simple and beautiful. Sometimes I question the nature of my reality in your absence. because reality is when I’m with you. Your hands is the highway to all things tender and poignant. Sometimes I get sick when I’m not with you. because your touch makes me blue. I won't try to fight these soldiers of affections assembled in my mind for a war of wit and guts because they will surely prevail. Instead I will lead them on a course to victory in mind, body, spirit and soul. Because I think I've found that mis...

Frailty..

My heart is prone.. Fragile, a biscuit bone.. To emotions.. It can't afford to be thrown. Into the dungeons of misery.. It can't bear to be blown.. Swept by the hideous gale.. Bereft of all sense of reasoning. I asked my soul.. "where is thy victory upon the hills of sorrow? Is thy fate the merchandise traded upon the uncertainty of tommorow..?" My heart is frail, weak, it may fail... To recognize.. The importance of existence... Because, as a lonely soul walks in the valley of tears.. He becomes immune to life's worries and fears.. I know not if the sunset will be blue.. I know not if love is sweet and true.. When fragments of betrayals litters here and there.. Coming together to form a formidable force your soul can't bear.. Do you flee or look for ways to become free.. Free from the chains of stagnation.. Free from the fetters of feelings unrequitted.. Or remain bound, hoping you will be discharged and acquitted.. This heart is weak.. An emotional freak.. ...

The Bliss Of Hamattan II

The morning chills, with frozen burns ...On my skin, As hair strands reform.. Erect like soldiers armed with guns.. As the yuletide hits me with scorn.. The Chilly haze of fog now smiles ..On my face, In white powdered plight.. The winds disrespectful, now plies.. Strong torrents, in freezing delight.. The roads now sings the songs of praise.. As buses and sleek cars now race.. To hinterlands, built with thatched roofs.. And villages, with rusted roofs.. In rustling sways, Christmas relays.. Its rays of hope, on frail mankind. The birth of Jesus rings for few.. As many bask in randy screws.. The hymns are sung in sanctuaries.. Of different lands, in continents.. His birth created the estuaries.. Of salvation, and death to sin.. In timeliness, the Christened day.. Blooms rays of hope for the derailed.. The winds plays the chords in yon fray.. With reflections on hymnal trails. The looney tunes of Christmas sounds.. Now speaks volumes in hearty thew.. C...
