Dr John Celes Poems

When warm-up stage is over, you then find,
the exercises seeming easier!
Thoughts and actions when disciplined in mind,
Life goes on, smoothly, without any fear!
...

Like Dove, a bird free, I’ as born into this world;
Now a victim of Satan’s temptations;
Denied of grace, my soul’s institution’s
Caged without food or drink, remaining sold!
...

Can one man fight an army all alone?
Can one’s good deeds undo the evils done?
Can one saint bring succor to all who moan?
Can one clown make all people laugh by fun?
...

The God who brought you up to this extent,
Has other plans for you in future too;
So, never doubt his mysterious intent;
He does what’s best and when ’tis time for you.
...

What one day brings, another takes away;
Nothing is constant in our earthly-life;
Just like how comes the night, follows the day;
Just like how comes some joy, follows too strife.
...

All things we do, may not be good for us;
Some things we yearn for, God denies for goods;
Nevertheless, we must never God curse;
He knows soul's poison's from virtuous foods.
...

When my own people keep me in this state;
I wonder if I should change my workplace;
O God, I'm caught between myself and fate;
Nevertheless, I'll bravely problems face.
...

The Moon is shining less brightly than 'fore,
And seems to fade behind thick clouds that sail;
Its dim outline too fades with time much more;
The ghost-like Moon appearing truly pale!
...

Another day yet breaks when comes Sun-rise,
To show that Hope is not lost forever;
The living are now more foolish or wise;
Some change for the better; some can never.
...

The modern world denies a safe passage
To child unborn from womb to world God made,
And insists that it is extra luggage,
Against tenets that God has strongly laid.
...
