Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Poem: When Will You Come?

Oh my Lord – When will You come? Will I be found, before my earthly life is done? Will I experience Your Resurrection Power and observe how sin You have conquered & devoured? It’s a win-win scenario, for me, in any case – As I long to see Your radiance, revealed at Heaven’s pace. To enter Your gates with humble willingness is real, knowing that I’m clothed by Your Righteousness. When will You come? Will I be found, before Death has finally succumbed? Although Your timetable has not bee… Continue

Rizwan Majid Sandhu Poem: This World.

This world’s a villain, do be careful, It hinders all our happiness and love, It wants us all to be down, be careful, O’ Lovers be cautious with this love, O’ Man I’m in love, I’m very careful, The love bug is here, I want this love, The bite of this love bug is careful, It is so wonderful, it injects the love, I feel butterflies, I’m so very careful, Give me your love, all I need is love, Love is life, please be very careful, It is a very precious thing this love, It hurts and feels so go… Continue

Author Sandra Rains Black Rose (Bipolar poetry)

Black Rose Rainbow colored illusions full of awkward pain This darkness consumes me I am a dead-like stain The sky is above me and hell is below Is God protecting me? only heaven knows Take this black rose drape it over my face Let the thorns cut me Let me bleed in my own space imaginary memories could it be a figment of my mind?

Nikhil Kapila Light over Darkness

The King was weak and strangled by his Queen, She the evil stepmother, wicked and mean. Handsome he was, but Rama was banished, With his beautiful Sita, to the jungle they vanished. Simple their life was, but love was rich. The trees were their palace, free from that witch. Our Lord would hunt as Sita built their home, But she wasn’t as safe, staying all alone. The ten-headed Ravan caught a glimpse of her beauty, To take her, he thought, was his divine duty. Ram returned, from his daily Shi… Continue

Nikhil Kapila Rickshaw-Walla

Each hour he sweats to make ends meet, Resolutely labouring in sweltering heat. Hands like bark but arms like twig, Driving little princes and madams so big. Not his intention but the card he was dealt. Is it his idiocy or punishment for guilt? Home is an idyll - not this vibrant catarrh, but Gandhiji's paisa lured him this far. Darkness to darkness - he forgets the sun's light, Bootleg whisky his evening delight. Is this a life or a hideous curse? He smiles and thanks God. It could be much… Continue

Nikhil Kapila Summer End

A sudden chill stabs at my cheeks, Both reddening in mournful grief. No more are those warming weeks, Behind my smile sits gritted teeth. Farewell the balmy starry skies. I knew you would leave me. But I hate goodbyes. Continue

Rizwan Majid Sandhu Poem: Life

What is a life one might ask, It is whatever we want to make it, How to spend it, one might ask, Virtue is the only way to make it, What is joy, someone might ask, Happiness is what really makes it, Why eyes sparkle, one might ask, Tears are the thing that makes it, Why tears give pain, one might ask, Tears are the virtue that makes it, What are these tears, one might ask, Disappointments are what makes it, What is sanity one might ask, Controlling fears is what makes it. ---------------… Continue

Rizwan Majid Sandhu Poem : Dear

Dear! I can’t understand what you are, Something clean or a clumsy whimsical, I don’t know where on the land you are, A reality, fiddle, riddle or just whimsical, You aren’t here but in my mind you are, Everything is spinning into a whimsical, A grand tune of enigma is what you are, You exist in a thing that’s a whimsical, A lovely flower on a tree is what you are, Your scent is driving wild the whimsical, The essence of my life is what you are, You’re the key that opens the whimsical, All… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Poem: Outside the Windy City

Outside the Windy City lives the Lady Finnegan - Carol dearly loves the Lord Jehovah and is a part of His earthly plan. Her heart has been pierced by God's Holy Spirit; for she placed her life before Him and has chosen to submit. Her adoration for the King has burst forth with heart's joy, from reading her great nephew's literature within the borders of Illinois. Now she's become God's messenger via her gifts of Joe's Christian poetry - For the fragrance of God's Love envelopes her with scrip… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Behind the Poem: Game Theory

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. Back in the Spring of 1980, I graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a B.A. in Mathematics. I chose this discipline because it was my favorite subject in school. This poem is the first and only piece (to date), where I apply this learned knowledge. Back in February of 2007, I found a poetry contest - its challenge wa… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Behind the Poem: Spiritual Irony

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. In this installment, I briefly look at the crucifixion of Christ - an event central to the core beliefs of Christianity. This poem was composed in February 2007, in anticipation of that year's celebration of Resurrection Sunday (Easter). If I were relegated to a single television channel, it would be the "History Channel". It's am… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd An interview with author J. J. Breunig 3rd

1. What caused you to write a book and have it published? Thankfully, I’ve enjoyed a career in IT (Information technology) for over 25+ years. However, I’ve been downsized out of a job four times – the last time in 2005, I was unemployed for nine months. During that time, I looked at over 19,000+ companies to find one job. With more jobs in my field being outsourced to lower wage earners overseas, I decided I needed an exit strategy from the corporate world to launch a more stable career and inc… Continue
