Dr John Celes Poems

The Sun bestows its light during the day;
The Moon's mirror reflects the same at night;
In life, we learn to give others some way;
Or help others see life in God's true light.
...

'I gave you life within your human form;
Give me your heart to me back, ' says the Lord;
And knowing well his frame is meant for worm,
Man offers heart and soul to devil's word!
...

The world around look so topsy-turvy!
Nothing is permanent or ultimate;
Gone are the days of dropsy and scurvy;
Now people think they can all levitate.
...

How long must I suffer ignominy?
Why should I be a slave in my own land?
How can I run away God, fetterly?
Do I deserve this kind of reprimand?
...

She trod on earth, much slippery and loose;
She walked barefoot on gravel that hurt her;
She did wrong things and appeared like a 'Goose',
She thought life's joy was flying like feather.
...

O, human love is brittle as a glass!
And breaks into pieces, you cannot glue,
Enticing people’s hearts, until they pass;
Succeeding in the hands of just a few!
...

Wake up; Wake up, for a New Year is born!
Spring-time has come and the Oak has acorn;
Wake up; Wake up, for the sweet songs of Birds;
They twitter and chatter, flying in hordes.
...

So far so good, things have been fine;
Years have flown, and I did well;
May be, I could have been better;
I dunno what's in store for me!
...

Mother, you gave me precious birth
Of life, with soul and earthly mirth,
That helped me see God’s grandeur – earth,
Heralding heaven’s way, far worth;
...

'Tis sad someone like you should leave
For reasons known/unknown this place,
Donating points, no more word-weave,
With many trophies in this race!
...
