my heart still whispers...

   My heart still whispers...

I can hear my heart again 

as I wake up to another morning 

whispering the words

I always used to whisper 

as you woke up to a new morning 

But now...  

you're no longer there

yet my heart still whispers 

the words we always used to greet 

waking up to a new morning...

"I love you love... Good morning love"

My heart still whispers...

A new morn

It's another morning

just the same morning...

Wishing I shall wake up

to a new morn

different from all

that I have 

known...

The Father of All

The Father of All

Today 

we remember...

we acknowledge...

we pay tribute

to all fathers 

around the globe...

Whoever and whatever 

they maybe...

rich or poor 

good or bad

cool or not...

Today 

may we all 

with all the Fathers

of the world

with a grateful heart

give thanks 

to the Father of all

seated in His throne 

loving us all...

The Creator of life and time

The Alpha and Omega

The Great I Am

To Hope

To hope

that he be gone 

from my heart

as you willed

that we are not meant

to share love and life...

To hope

that you will remove him

from my memory

as you removed us

from each other's destiny

The only hope I can

to help my heart withstand

the pain of this truth

in my life...

        MA@2015

A Simple Painful Truth

No matter how much pain

No matter the betrayal

No matter the forfeited words

No matter the broken promises

No matter the shattered 

      hopes and dreams

No matter how you hurt my heart...

On you 

I could never hold things against...

Still...

No matter what you've done

No matter what have been

The painful truth 

      is simple and clear

God did not meant us 

to be...

for each other...

There will never be...

There is no day

there ain't and there'll never be...

there ain't gonna be...

a time for a day to come for me...

 

The sun may rise 

but in mine it's ever dusk 

time has stopped

like a dead clock...

Don't ask me in wry

God knows the reasons why

a day for me 

shall never come by...

A Friend's Wish

A friend made a wish for me today

He just could not see how the tears 

from my eyes fell

never know

how much my heart longs 

for a wish and a dream come true...

doesn't know 

That God 

in His wonderful heart

calls that in Him

I completely trust...

To embrace  His will 

is what He calls me to do

though the wishes of my heart

can't come true...

   Manuelle Augustine 

            @2015

I found...

I laid for myself 

questions 

to help my heart

understand 

and let go

and move on...

I found for myself 

an answer 

that in all

God's will is best 

and always prevail

and His grace 

will see me through...

A Drifting Rover

I feel like a blank 

thoughts won't run

feeling numb...

I feel like none...

Feels like floating 

with the blow of the winds

never minding where it leads

where it ends...

Just letting things be

nothing to wait or see

or wish to be...

Tired

been much too tired 

marred impaired...

Need not to fight or struggle 

things are now over 

nothing to hover...

a drifting rover...

Now 

I feel like none 

Feeling numb...

Feels like a blank...

   Manuelle Augustine 

           @2015

I don't know

I don't know 

if you know 

how it feels

to be 

in great pain

in deep sorrow

where it hurts

to your marrows...

where your heart

would almost

stop to pump

and your muscles limp

in shivering 

and your heart

won't stop bleeding

and you get tired 

of breathing

and would just wish

to not wake up 

to another morning...

Less a Nightmare

Forgiving...

My bones are breaking

My flesh sorely melting

In deep agony

my heart 

is greatly grieving...

I have never known

this much hurt

not until 

you cut my heart...

I wish you'll know

how grave the suffering 

how great the pain...

Yet...

in all my tears

in shivering heart 

throbbing 

in endless rain

I forgive thee...

for all 

that you've done

to me...

  Manuelle Augustine

       @7/27/2015

In my reality

Silence...

Stillness...

My heart rests...

After the rain of tears

After all the reflecting

of the things 

that I can not change

in this silence

in this stillness

is where I am

in my reality...

   Manuelle Augustine

              @2015

Gone Forever

You are gone forever...

But remained in my heart...

PEACE in the midst of circumstances

We all have our own story to tell...

In completely trusting God

In no matter what

is where we can have

Peace that surpasses all understanding 

in the midst of pain...

in the midst of tears...

in whatever circumstances...

It is the grace of God 

that will work in us

and touch our hearts

to have and be 

in God's grace of peace...
