Dr John Celes Poems

Two thousand years ago
In Bethlehem town, Oh,
A baby boy was born
In manger-shed forlorn!
...

Your days in PMC are o’er for now!
Somehow the years had passed off peacefully;
The road ahead in life has joys and woes;
But still, your future lies in your own hands.
...

Blinded by a brilliant light,
On the road to Damascus,
Saul of Tarsus, on horse-back
Heard the voice of Jesus Christ:
...

Most lovely mother, you had been,
Whose love, unfailing, world had seen;
And duty-bound wife to father;
How lucky, we were all, rather!
...

“The Tempter tempts the Creator –
Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
The Lord was just a man like us
But lived a sin-free life on earth.”
...

I see your ‘waxen’ expressionless face;
I see your ‘marble ‘eyes but you know not;
I see your dirt behind your back though clean;
I see your white-collared criminality.
...

Worry
Shortens life-span,
And cuts the thread of life
Prematurely, abruptly,
...

You are on holy ground;
Take off your shoes, kneel down;
You will see God as light,
Which human eyes can’t bear.
...

The drumstick-tree I thought was dead and gone
Is fully clothed by green leaves and flowers;
The bees are active and some fruits are born;
The tree awaits August’s Monsoon showers.
...

Each flower has some nectar for each Bee;
Each flower has some beauty rather deep;
Each flower has some perfume that is free;
Each flower makes the observer's heart leap.
...
