No one understands
how much all
of these feelings
ravaging my life
make me feel.
I can't explain it
or how much pain,
loneliness and confusion
it caused made
me feel at times.
It made me mute.
I can't tell it,
even if I could.
It seems to paralyze me,
made me weary.
My mouth cannot tell it,
for my heart hurts.
It can't be explained,
I would if I could.
I can only keep quiet,
hoping it will pass away.
I am amazed and perplexed
at the impact of that force
on my own spirit.
In my imperfections,
truth manifested.
In weakness,
his strength,
again,
made perfect.
Within my silence,
I found wisdom.
In my *******,
i discovered freedom.
It is a lesson learned in life.

Loneliness is here again,
smiling to my face to mock me.
It's presence is so chilling,
you can almost hear it's breath.
Sending the chills down my spine.
Who can take it away from me?
Connect me to the one who
has the power to
quiet my heart to this
overwhelming emptiness.
The pressure of it's presence
is almost consuming me.
It's foul breath stanching my nostrils
I almost choked.
I can feel it within wrapping
it's arms around me.
But the comfort of the
Holy Spirit can do wonders.
He is the only one
who settles all things.
His presence within heals.
The warmth of his unfolding
embrace is soothing,
he subtly nudged
this yoke away,
like the gate of brass,
breaking it's jaw with
his anointing presence.
This loneliness folded
his mat like the proverbial
Arabs in the lonely desert,
quietly in silence flee
with shame unnoticed
from my presence.
And now my heart is
eternally forever grateful.

I can't tell you what to think,
for your thoughts are
exclusively yours,
and they are elusive.
They come and go as they please.
With it's complexities,
It comes whenever it likes,
overloading your head
with it's multiple waves to create
and recreate your being.
It's rhythmic interchange
balances everything concerning you.
I cannot tell you how or what to feel,
your feelings are exclusively yours.
Both your thoughts and your feelings
are quite interwoven.
Manifesting as emotionally motivated thoughts,
or thoughtfully motivated emotions,
all working in synergy to bring a
perfect union.
The paths you walk,
the things you do generates them.
Only you can draw
the map of your inner life.
Though the understanding
of it eludes you.
But the path you choose to walk
is eternally exclusively yours.
It leads you to that place of your rebirth.
It may be peaceful.
Your printout may be chaos.
This design is your very own,
created by you.
But in all,
only you have the power to change it,
and make it right.

I will **** you
with my love
I will not **** you
with my hand
you will not die,
you will still
die by my love,
for i will **** you
with my heart,
no one is ever
going to want you
for my presence
has taken possession
of your being,
you still won't die.
I will **** you
with my love,
but you will
live to testify of it,
For my love
will uphold you,
my love will
satisfy your thirst
that when you are so
warm with my love,
just like a chocolate
you will melt
into my arms,
where you belong,
you still won't die,
for all i ever want is
for you to remember
me as loving you.

She never really cared
but I was on fire for her.
Today I Stop setting myself
on fire for people who will sit back
and watch me burn.
Cruelty is wrought on her.
Pretending to be religious,
but wolf in sheep skin.
Tells the tale of all
the rich men she knows,
said she's not after material things,
Self-righteousness she carries about.
Known to all the men
of riches and influence.
None she settled down with.
Always giving excuses on
why she can't be with anyone.
She demands to be helped
on her own terms,
without sacrificing anything.
Life has a lot of lessons to teach,
she didn't learn anything
from the experience of living.
Life is about give and take.
What you sow, you reap.

I stood watching
as she walked away
Dumbfounded by
the reason she gave
She wanted me
but preferred the other
If only she knew
what she missed
As a prince I have pride too
I knew she was just a
messed up kid in the hood
As I stood there watching
I already know I won't
see her ever again
But another is waiting
For what you lose on the swing,
you gain on the roundabout
I am a prince
I am my mothers child
My fathers very own
I am precious
I am a mystery to be unraveled
I am the sun
I will shine again.
