The scare crow
was always scaring me
near the big
tamarind tree
never thought I would
encounter it
at the graduation
I had failed to qualify
and my intellectual abilities
had defeated me
and calling a spade
a spade
can be misleading
when it is actually
a magic carpet.
The scare crow
is a test of
others' courage
where as a Jatayu
is courage himself.

destructive
shes a martyr
a prophet
a poet
but
she shattered her
future, her confidence, her courage.
hes a hero
a lover
an idiot
but
he shattered his
future, his confidence, his courage
together
they shattered their passion.

Tested Faith
Time and again Lord
You test my faith
Sometimes I ask not, to run the race
But to see your mother lying there
helpless, hurting, unaware
The woman who took care of you
raised you up, saw you through
It will take all and more
to summon courage from my core
To be the rock for her to lean
for whatever lies ahead unseen
So now I pray Lord, with your grace,
give me courage to run this race
(Bless all my PH friends and family too Lord Amen/25 April 2007)

Courage
It takes courage to admit defeat
to lay the weapons down
to declare oneself unarmed
before anyone else gets hurt
it takes courage to succumb
to ones fear to overcome it
to surrender to the frankness
of the unknown you know don't
want to be held prisoner exactly
perhaps someone will just kill me
then it won't really matter anymore
