Let go...

Let go...

Help me let go

of the memories of the past

though they once were the treasures

of my heart...

Let go...

Please my heart let go 

of the love and hopes

that once were your strength and joy...

Let go...

Though in raging tears 

and groaning soul

Let God see you through

to sustain and embrace you...

Oh Lord I pray

help my heart learn

how to let go....

This is My Lot...

This is my lot...

This is the life 

God have given me

to breathe and to live for...

This is the story...

that I will tell and scribble

for everyone to read and see...

This is my life...

The only one I have

to hold and to keep

through all the storms...

This is my soul...

my voice, my heart, my mind

speaking for all that I am...

I am me...

and there'll never be anyone like me...

In this lifetime 

there will only be me to write my story

as God will edit  each lines for me...

I will speak for my truth...

I will speak for my anguish and pain...

I will speak for the shades of faith

amidst all hopelessness and shame...

I will speak for the love that I once believed...

I will speak for Gods healing and grace...

This is my life 

This is my lot

This is my story

I pray one day

God will finally edit it for me

and paint rainbows of hope 

and gratefulness will glow in me...

A response to a comment "...there are things that are just not meant to be..."

There are things that can be achieved

through persistence and determination 

It's basically normal and the right thing...

But there are things in life that 

are just not meant to be ...

And to accept reality is the best thing to do...

It doesn't mean giving up...

It just mean, having an open mind and heart...

To not succumb into bitterness...

when things are not going our way...

It's getting up and moving on...

Words...

        

Words...

Still carve tears in my eyes

Still gripping my heart

As I read each line

of every poem I rhyme

I remember you

I remember then

I remember the memories 

of the promises gone in vain 

of the love you professed

the love I once believed

was real...

    Manuelle Augustine

Who are They?...

           Who are They?

There again marching

in fairy dressed array...

with colors of winter and spring

sunny summer and autumn day...

In awe my lips grin to smile 

as my cheeks blushed with delight...

watching them in sight

one by one passing by...

Oh! how my heart leap

in sublime admiration...

as my heart is hearing

the melody their making...

with their lyrics so eloquent 

perfectly knitted and brazen...

framed with gold laces

like a royal diadem...

With their chant

from forlorn i rose inspired 

and  awakened...

for the glitters of wisdom 

hope and love 

they are sprinkling...

with every spark is a story

of a life and a destiny...

of joy and agony

and great love stories...

Oh! Who are they?... 

They are The Poets of a Poetry...

Will always be...

I love you...

You know I will always do 

Though you chose to leave me

my heart will always be 

loving you...

I dared to dream...

I dared to dream...

I dared to dream

an impossible dream

I dared to love

though I know it's tough...

From the start I know

I will be counting tears

With all the reality

Vivid and clear...

Yet... What can I do

because I love him...

I dared to love

My impossible dream...

I remember you...

I remember you...

And I know that you know

that in all my days

I'll remember you...

Please Help Pray

               Please Help Pray

As we walk through our ordinary lives

doing the usual things of everyday living...

In foreign countries people are suffering...

Innocent children, young and old alike 

are ruthlessly killed and slaughtered...

In our ordinary lives...

we are more than blessed...

for not going through same torment

and ordeal...

Let's share a piece of our time

to cry to God in prayer...

To save the innocents 

from the stings of evil...

Please Help Pray....

I saw myself...

     I saw myself 

I saw myself again 

believing, pretending 

God knows my weepings...

Filling up my emptiness 

scribbling my grieving...

Again, and over

Gods grace will sustain 

my heart to survive 

another day 

of my pain unending...

In losing the one you love so much...

In losing the one you love so much...

When you love someone so much...

with all your life 

with all of yourself 

and lose him... her...

in whatever way

You feel like...

pointing a gun on your chest 

to blow your heart away

to its deepest recesses...

to nothingness...

In all these... God knows...

and He will never leave you

where you are...

for He will summon the universe 

to move and come to your refuge...

to make your heart know and understand 

that there are reasons why things 

has to happen...

In His marvelous way

His grace will sustain you through 

and heal you ...

You only have to trust in Him...

                           @2015

Wherever you're left out...

Wherever you're left out...

Loneliness will eat you out...

Sadness will drain your strength...

The thoughts of every detail of your pain

exhausts your sanity...

and no reason would ever fit ...

In all the void ... 

when there's nothing to hold

and believe ...

Look on God ...  

trust in what He is doing...

for He is moving...

and working things out for good

out from wherever you're left out

          Manuelle Augustine

God will turn things for the best

Have peace in your heart 

and be still ...

Though situations seems unfair

Look instead at things 

the other way...

Though the changes hurts,

be brave...

God is turning out things 

for the best ...

A Valentines Day

     A Valentines Day

On a day like this

You never missed to say

"Happy Valentines Love "

 

But now 

this day is just reminding me

of a lost love...

      Manuelle  Augustine 

              @2015

Have a Love filled Valentines

Have a Love filled Valentines 

Chocolates flowers and gifts 

Wrap with ribbon colored red

Hearts printed and shaped 

Sending a Valentines cheer 

To people we care...

Still...

                          Still...

In each passing time unfolding ...

I've been trying to make the most that I can

to put something in my days ...

to put meaning to every tick of the clock...

to live a day at a time...

to forget about the thoughts...

of all the hurts ...

of all the reasons 

to move on...

Even at the middle of anything 

and at the end of all my efforts

Still... I get back 

to the wounded self

that I am...

With no words to think and scribble 

but just the tears 

streaming from my heart...

Poets 

Are you master of words?...

Or your world is  just filled  with words...

Poets

You are called ...

Is it because you are bold?...

to speak your heart and mind aloud

quenching every piece of your truth

with passion and love...

in every line you rhyme...

Poets 

You are mold...

by your independent soul

that soar even beyond an eagle can fly

touching hearts and touching lives...
