Paul Sebastian Poems

He seems to know my arrival time
Waiting at the gate every time
Seeing me jumps up and down
Barks announcing arrival, the whole town
...

A smallest smile, like sunshine
Brings glow to someone resigned
Day's lifted, like a flower's face in the sun
Sunshine on your face is sunrise for someone.
...

Feeling cheated
Lost and deluded
Feeling all over, so lame
I struggle to rid this pain
...

If I told you who I am
Would you still like me?
If I unveil my life’s sham
Would you then, reject me?
...

Like a wet, wounded animal he stood
Under the street lamp, shivering cold
Looking for a shelter that foggy night
Doors closed, no place was in sight
...

On that fateful Saturday evening we first met…
Facing each other in a restaurant we sat
Trying to make small talk nervously
Choosing what and how to say carefully
...

Some live, suicide-prone
Drive chatting on the phone,
Inviting death on their own.
Leaving loved ones to mourn:
...

With my birth came my mother.
Crying in my pangs of hunger
She fed me at her breasts
In her warm arms I’d rest
...

Life is too short to hold on to grudges
Pride doesn't earn you life's badges
Choosing forgiveness assures you peace
Bring healing along, with a new-life’s lease.
...

Every Christmas comes
To awake fresh memories of us
Decorating the Christmas tree…
Blinking lights glowing on our faces
...
