Paul Sebastian Poems

At a dim-lit dining table I sat
Alone, but a lone red rose in vase, stood
My mind's lost sojourn, she read
Confused and searching, my unusual mood
...

One night, I knocked your door
You opened welcoming me
We had tea and some spaghetti
We talked, fact-finding, no more
...

God fashioned man out of earth
In His image and breathed life into him
Woman He created for him to love
Dominion over creation, He gave him
...

Plant a thought seed
Water it with faith daily
To grow a thought habit
That captures you emotionally
...

Strength of a man is not measured
By what he achieves when pressured
But, how he manages through, smiling
How he achieves through team playing
...

A friend like a constant star of the day
A friend’s smiles and kindness always stay
A friend’s there in the hour of need
A friend plods you to succeed
...

A friend for every moment of the day
A friend with embracing smile, heart's joy ray
A friend who's there in time of need
A friend who plods you to succeed
...

All I ask is: give me one chance
To sing you an evergreen love song
Closely sway to this last dance
Locking arms as if we are bound for lifelong
...

Love Mother Malaysia
By Paul Sebastian

Mother Malaysia cries for moderation
...

A true friend is a unique treasure
Divinely endowed, in good measure-
More precious than gold or pearls-
Valued throughout the passing years
...

Up on a mountain I asked a sage
To speak to me about money and he said:

Money: that tainted thing?
...

12.

If you think you can't, you can't
If you think you can, you can
If you put limits on yourself
Which are barriers to wealth!
...

A gift expression of love
To one who deserves:
A solitary red rose
In a slender glass vase
...

Dawn gives birth to a new day:
Rushing in a flood of sun rays
Piercing morning mantel of dew,
Lifting new bride’s veil: for full view.
...

If you love me true
These you would do:

If you love me, you would buy me a nice car
...

Coffee is waiting
Hot, yet we're sipping
Coffee waits, we're talking
Time's fast passing
...

S urveys and prepares class lessons
T akes trouble to make extra notes and
U ndertakes responsibility to study,
D oing all his assignments
...

Oh mirror, mirror on the wall
Break open my guarded seal
Pray tell, who am I, after all?
Stripping masks that conceal
...

Give me a chance to live
Live a life to give
I want to know
I want to grow
...

Forgive because you want to
Forgive even if it still hurts you
Forgive because love is stronger
Forgive or hurting stays longer
...

The Best Poem Of Paul Sebastian

Love Is Sacrifice

At a dim-lit dining table I sat
Alone, but a lone red rose in vase, stood
My mind's lost sojourn, she read
Confused and searching, my unusual mood

Rose asked: May I ask why the look of askance?
I could help to bring relief, given a chance
Trust me, I would find you an answer
It would be pathetic to see you whither!

I asked: How do I make my life beautiful?
She whispered: It begins with you being truthful
Your spirit and heart as one, emit fragrance
Become an attractive flower, for instance
Take my fragrance with you
To give away to others around, the few
With her fragrance within, I won many friends

Some time passed
Again, I went to her and asked:
How do I make my life more beautiful?

My rose said: You need to be uniquely coulourful
Be unique you, yet be real and true
Take my firmness, softness, my colour with you
Become real, be the real unique you!
Her uniqueness stood out, my uniqueness
I was loved, I found some happiness

Some time passed
Again, went to my Rose and asked:
How do I make my life complete with love?

She advised: You must learn to love
Really love, without being suave!
Take all my petals, strew them over your love, as you greet
I strewed the petals at my lover's feet
I found my love, all complete

Some time passed
Again, went to my Rose and asked:
How do I find my joy complete?

My Rose replied: I am now only a stump twig
I gave you all, even though it painfully pricked
Love is a choice of offering
A voluntarily self-sacrificing
Patiently, an unselfish giving
There's no greater love than this:
To lay down one's life for a fellow friend!
