Marc Jude Fernandes Poems

When eyes say it all
What a wonderful sight
I hear you call
In this moonlit night
...

O' mighty and omnipotent lord
Do not forget this prophet of thine
If thou art certainly God
Thou will listen to this song of mine
...

O' Death I have extoll'd thee in many a rhyme
Thou movest with such ferocity
Thou art the offspring of Father time
Thou art a forgotten reality
...

O babe just one sight of you
Then I'll encounter bliss
One thing I ask of you
O won't you grant me this?
...

To all the girls I have loved before
All of you have shown me the door
Only I have loved and I loved alone
With this refrain, my heart will forever moan
...

Woe to me if I do not write
It's a mortal sin of which I am guilty
So cast me away from thy holy sight
And lock me in the dungeons of misery
...

A pall of gloom descends on the land,
Hope & sanity drifts like the desert sand,
Days of joy & merriment seem buried in the past,
Alas! mourn how our dancing days didn't last.
...

We are still living under contagion's shadow,
But that won't blur out our hopes for a new tomorrow,
However restless our night may be,
A new dawn certainly we will see.
...

Mother of sorrows take me in your arms
Keep me safe away from all unwanted charms
I have rejected the world in all its vanity
I have entered the abode of Mother Melancholy
...

When I look in the eye of the past,
And dream of how things were in days of yore.
I yearn for mankind's story to be recast.
And a prayer escapes my lips: yesterday once more.
...
