Dr John Celes Poems

Smart cities aren’t a country’s primal need;
Existing cities must be made better;
Smart citizens, bureaucrats, we want;
Smart youth, professionals and leaders must guide.
...

Early in the morning;
Before the Sun had come;
A cool breeze was blowing;
I walked up and down.
...

God take away the urge to sin from me;
My body’s weary from devils’ assaults;
The devils come to tempt me frequently;
My weakened spirit leads me to more faults!
...

God helped me wade through problems galore but,
My thoughts are pessimistic to the core;
I live in luxury: Yet, want a hut!
I wonder what the future has in store!
...

Our Alma Mater days have ended fast!
It seems just yesterday, we’d joined this place;
Our college days are dreams now of the past;
A band of doctors we’re with brave a face!
...

Born is A New Year!
Gone is an old year;
Let’s add new cheer,
Live without fear.
...

God knows my silent tears I shed so oft,
In solitude and secrecy of heart;
God knows my sorrows, grief and feelings soft,
And time to redress them, ’fore I depart.
...

The time given by God is most precious;
One can’t afford to waste by any means;
Yet, God has been to everyone gracious;
He watches always all the earthly scenes.
...

The love we bear as friends is deep-rooted;
The tussles we have had aren’t worth a pie;
Our altercations are but else-mooted;
Until the end, our friendship should not die.
...

My friend ain't dead but dead is my friendship;
My friend ain’t friend yet, he is not my foe;
The tempest came, with out at sea my ship;
I should not blame him for my daily woe.
...
