The Scribbles of a Lonely Traveller

Last night
it was still wet and cold
outside
I curled up in bed
hibernating like a Teddy bear
and wondering whether
I would keep singing the blues
for the rest
of the Christmas season
It's Amazing Grace
that I awaken
to feel the morning sunshine
on my face
I'm more than jubilant
over the sunny day
especially on Monday
for it's no different
from a long-lost chum
dropping by unexpectedly
in the coldest season

When you were sitting
by a lotus pond
and unfurling
those light purple petals
like a morning glory
at dawn
no lotus buds
dared to emerge
from the water
for fear of getting humbled
But how time flies
In a blink of an eye
the sun is setting
and the misty evening
is falling
Hence
fresh spring has given way
to leaf-falling autumn
Everything has changed
except
sweet memory
never dies

I don't have
a magic wand
but an ordinary pen
which is able to conjure up
a fragrant garden for you
whether when you're singing
the blues
or when you're stuck
in the bleakest north pole
without any hope
And the beauty of it
is that it'll never grow old
I'm not blowing the balloon
unless you forget to bloom
in the spring
when little birds
come back to sing

Loving Father in Heaven
I'm not asking you
to bestow more gold on me
on this peaceful Christmas Eve
but please help me
to maintain this simple
and humble life
It's not that
my heart isn't moved
in front of the shiny gold
but that
if everybody loves gold
there must be a war
What is the use of gold
when there is a bloody war
All this I ask
in the name of Jesus Christ

Amen

Nice Christmas prayer.

Thanks, Mohammad,

If there will be
a winter storm tomorrow
as sure and merciless
as a cruel war
in this capricious world
I won't feel dismal
faced with the bleakest weather
It's not so much
I know for certain
the sun will rise again
as always
after a violent storm
as I've learned
how to appreciate more
the peaceful and homely days
in between

The grey sky is heeling me
like my shadow
wherever I go
and I find no word
in my dictionary
to clearly express
this bad mood
Perhaps
there shouldn't be
gloomy weather
on earth
in the first place
Perhaps
it's time
to take a long rest
and to forget about
the annoying rustle
of the cold winds
Perhaps
in the season
of melting snow
I'll wake up
in time
to appreciate
those pretty flower seeds
germinate

Thanks, Mohammad, for your terrific reply, which is so excellent that it's a bit over my head.
There are some people whose English is too bad to understand its meanings. You're contrary to them.
So, I'd like to make sure if I see correctly what you meant:

Why and where do you have all these dreamy images?
Yea, you deserve a solid name
Let the bad fortune never comes for
Literature network forums

By the way, I adore your motto:
My country is the Home of Honour And Without honour I haven't Home

Indeed, I am surprised to see all these poetry posts in one page.
I think impliedly you wanted my opinion in your writing.
I am the man who never suppresses others' right wherever it is, whether on writing or in any field of knowledge.
I see that you are excellent writer yet I have noticed in the forum, it maybe there is more but I don’t discover them or they give their mind away not to write.
Never mind, dear friend never mind
The expression I shared, you excellently changed for a "solid name."
The expression previously I mentioned in my reply, "spackle", it means; brand name for a quick-drying substance used for repairing plasterwork.
I don't know how it jumps up to my mind even if I didn't use it before but believe me many times, many words and English expressions randomly accumulate on my mind even if I don’t hear those words in any source but lately I find that all those word and expressions are English origin.
When I write any poem, I don't how the idea comes and has been envisaged up to my mind but it will be sequently followed image after image to the end, so I find the English language is easier to me than my mother language.
Yet I need more to learn and no doubt, I will find advantages on others writing's way.
I suggested you as a close friend I need him to be acquainted with especially on poetry.
Thanks

Sure, what do you think of them? Garbage?

Awesome

Why do you think I'm an excellent writer?
