Paul Sebastian Poems

Across the candle-lit table, we sat
Sumptuous dinner we just had
Warm red wine in our hands
Thanking for the year that ends
...

Polio-struck eleven-year-old brother waits daily
Staying in an ill-kept two-room apartment
For street-story happenings told passionately
By his elder brother: a chosen commitment
...

A long drive up north, on my own
I stopped by at a country town,
To answer nature’s call
Feeling urgent, I didn’t stall
...

D irect all your
E nergies on the
C hoices you have made
I vesting your time on your
...

It is fruitless to furrow into the past
Let mistakes and failures, there rust!
Neither could I there, plant new seeds
Future is barren, nothing there, breeds!
...

Wavering feet as burden load weigh me down
If I stumble and fall, staggering the extra mile
Lift me up, Lord, to fight one more round
All I ask, Lord: Help me make one day at a time!
...

You unveil your unique beauty
Like sunrise, enthralling me
Your presence fast-beats my heart
Everything in me seems to fall apart
...

House is, but a home
Where love welcomes you
Where home-making brew
Where love making abides
...
