Just this moment.
Not another day.
Probably not tomorrow.
Just now and
quickly too.
You don't
have much
time to wait.
Don't have the
time to check time.
Rush out
with great force
like the waterfalls,
crashing down
as if to
break into pieces,
then quietly collected
itself and meanders
slowly into the stream,
minding itself.
Whatever will be,
will not be,
if you just
sit down there
and be waiting.
What you are
looking for is
also seeking you.
Choose to follow
the path
of your destiny.
The clouds can't
be trusted,
they are not
the stars hidden
within it,
it is constantly
on the move,
like the ocean,
not stable.
Always changing
with the wind.
Follow the way
of the heart,
it beats with
precise rhythm,
it's accuracy and
precision perfect
but be always
mindful with your
head in check
of the heart,
or the world war in
Normandy will be
a child's play,
if you don't
get it right.
To be in
a wrong relationship
is the closest
you'll get to
an earthquake.

Listen,
and be warned,
you that is
full of drama
and doubts ravaging
your sense of self.
How can you be,
when you cannot
find your true
self within you.
You can never
discover outside
yourself all that
which is
not within you.
Everything you
are required to
have is inside you.
If the things
important have no
value to you,
how then can
you find the
beauty outside
of you.
Gems are buried
within you.
You are the
mine that has
never been explored.
You are like
a fertile ground
not cultivated.
All your potentials
are hidden within.
Know your value
and your beauty
and your essence.
Appreciate all of
whatever you are.
Know yourself,
your world and
your God.

In silence everyone
sits and watch as
the massacre continues.
Is there nothing,
anything at all  
anyone can do,
or just to sit on the fence.
Being afraid to speak
out is even worse.
It unwittingly shows you
are a part of the ongoing
anarchy and it *****.
Your silence to act out
means silent agreement
to encourage the crimes.
Where are the elders,
where are the elites,
where are the Influencers,
is there no one to standout.
Where is your honor,
or you don't know what
to be done.
Love don't cost a thing
It is absolutely fabulous and
fantastic.
Divine in nature and beautiful
to have and access.
With love enough you can
stand in the gap for them.
With the age old honor you
can save lives.
No one deserves to die
because of your personal
conviction and beliefs.
Fate and faith are very personal.
You may even be wrong in
your opinion at last.
What would you do if I
forcefully tell you on which
side of an egg you must eat
first or you die in my hands
for not believing me.
Don't tell me which side of
my body to lay on as I sleep,
or put your foot in my shoes to
walk for me,
neither lay your hand on my
stomach believing the food
you ate will pass into me
through your hands.
So the next time you think
about your beliefs remember
that I am not you.

Moving along the
riverside where
the flowers blooms,
where the lilac tree
sheds and shares
it's fragrance that
spreads far across
the county.
I blend with
it's many-faceted
splendor.
I give of
my love freely
as does the
lilac fragrance.
My life is
blessed and
enriched by this
divine emotion.
I bring sympathy,
kindness and
consideration.
I bring forgiveness
and appreciation.
I build on a
foundation of respect,
mutual appreciation
and understanding.
I keep the
flame of divine
love alive.

I see the
way you arranged
the flowers in
the vase.
A basket full
of different petals
and colourful
arrangements
placed in beautiful
sequence in the vase.
Giving out their
fragrance to
appeal the senses.
The heart is
so grateful for
the gift and honor
of the roses
in our garden.
The bouquet is
so adorable and
beautiful just like
that of the spirit.
Giving a serene
sense of bliss.
Pure essence of
nature abundantly
lavished and displayed
to us with love.
It surrounds us
with an amazing
essential sense of
beauty.
Beautiful to the core,
worthy of a
place in our homes.
What can we
do but just to
love them as
they service our
lives with so
much care.

Out of the castle in
a walk of shame.
It will be so
disgraceful to this
house of rabbits
eating all the carrots.
In dubious battle of
the best of the best,
power must change
hands or the rock
will become deserted
and haunted by
the dead rabbits.
This jackal killing the
chicken must be expelled
to give way to the last
Knight to restructure
the house and bring sanity.
There must be extreme
make over to the castle.
The people are eagerly
waiting and looking
forward to it.
Failure cannot be tolerated
or use as an excuse to
forestall the way forward.
Grumpy old man needs
a house arrest to mellow
the son of the mask down.
The enforcers will go round
to pick up the left over
crumbs from the last regime,
so they won't like the yeast
contaminate the new wine.
Freedom from poverty and
hunger will be eliminated,
the people will once again
experience peace and serenity
will return.
God willing unnecessary deaths
will totally be eradicated.

The mountains
and the hills
in isolated places,
are ever bothered
by everyone,
disturbing their
solitude.
In their serenity
and calmness
they still tolerate
the encroachments
of the august visitors.
No one really
ever cares if
they needed you
to come visit.
The nature guardians
are all in
hiding in their
habitats because
of you strangers
interference in their abode.
Are the hills
too tired to
bother with your
mountain climbing.
Maybe that's
why it never
cared to move
as you crawl
all over it.
It's time to
stop and see
the fireworks.
Even it's brightness
are intriguing and
captivating as it
draws you
powerfully to itself,
but be mindful
as it lures you.
At least it's
making an effort
to show it's
exuberant prowess.
Be careful,
you might just
get burned.
But life,
this life belongs
to you.
Be careful of
what you seek
in the dark places
or you will
definitely find hell.

I'm still here
standing in front
of the woman
i love wondering
if she's still
openly defending the
****** celebrity she's
never met before.
Whether she's
texting more
than one guy.
Wondering how many
of these guys
drinking and laughing
here she's
secretly seeing.
As she goes
to the ladies
bathroom to refresh,
does someone slip
some hidden note to
her for another
meeting with a guy.
Is she two timing.
Are my being played.
I really don't
know what is the
matter with me.
My heart is
so full and
my head are
spinning from these
nonsensical infestation
of nasty thoughts.
Just wondering
what this
is all about.
I needed you
to want me
as your very
own as much
as I want you.

The life of
the courageous is
definitely not death
but to survive
by any means
necessary and live.
Cowardice is definitely
not an absence
of courage,
it means you
survived today for
another time.
It means safety.
It means you
have won just
for the moment.
What is the
point of dying
when you can
save yourselves.
Even the best
General in an
army loses a battle
and strategize
for another day.
Cowardice means
inner strength to
bear humiliation,
but is it
not much better
than to die.
Let me tell
you now in truth,
there is no
honor in death.
Only thing that
gets you honor
is to stay alive.
To survive is
more honorable.
It means you
took in the pain,
endured the humiliation,
it makes you
even more disciplined.
You are counted
among the titans
that survived to
tell the story.
History will not
be written or
complete without you,
you can never
be forgotten as
an eye witness.
You are not
a coward but
the brave.
Your scar tells
a story of
your bravery.
That wound means
you survived.

I entered
the inner room,
sensitively incensed
with olibanum,
lovely decorated.
It turned and
transmogrified into
a hinged cold
stone sculpture.
Not of this world
but from another
different sphere.
Handling a coiled
serpent is safer
and better than
beholding the unknown.
Getting closer,
is like touching
a strong cold
methodical machine
without a heart.
Life can be
harsh and cruel
at times and beautiful
and divinely good
at other times but
it is also always
just in it's actions,
depending on
the oscillations,
the swing and
the gyration of
the pendulum.
But the stone secret
must be kept
quietly away from
the profane.
The stone on
the mountain strolled
down with an
amazing speed at
the twilight waiting
for it's footprints
to be followed
by the wise.
For those who
walk the same
path towards the
stream of living
waters must be
the silent ones.
For silence is
the guide for
the one who
seeks to follow
the inner path.

There is definitely
different shades
of green.
Beautiful and
colorful.
It reminds one
of healing.
The green in
the summer.
The lush green
vegetation,
let us see
the strong life.
Like the mingle
and merging
of the chameleon
on a greenish
vegetation.
It's colour change
made it disappear.
The dodging is
so magical,
wonderful and
amazingly thrilling.
Nothing like it
is ever seen.
Nature at its finest.
So captivating and
breathtaking.
How did that
happen,
i really can't tell.
Wishing i can
disappear like that
for a moment
into the oblivion,
just to know
what lies beyond
the other sphere.
The realm of
the unknown will
then become known.
That which is
not revealed yet
will then be
made manifest.
Some day the
night will suddenly
turn into day
and all those
creepy night crawlers
will be seen.
Remember nothing
soever is hidden,
absolutely nothing.
All will come
to light in due time.

Someone is playing
in the rain.
And another is
crying in the rain.
The other is
just doing crazy
stuff in the
same rain.
But I'm the
only one getting
off my rocker.
Something is
cooking and it's
very disturbing.
Are you thinking
what I'm thinking.
Who is going
to talk or explain
about this strange
rain of today.
Fish falling
from the sky
is definitely strange.
Can someone tell
me what is
inside the ***
of the sorcerers
that is causing
this havoc and
commotion or
was it nature's
benevolence at
play.
But i just can't tell.
It's so beautiful
and yet disruptive,
creating happy-sad
euphoria and i
vehemently
disapprove of it.
The same game
as this one
was not allowed
yesterday to continue.
Yesterday it was
frog and maybe
another time
it maybe aliens.
But the children
are happy and
having the fun
of their lives.
Unperturbed by
this strange
happenings all around.
But we shall
wait and see.

Alone here at
the corner of
my room in
Blaisdell street
in the winter
night of November,
years ago in
Minnesota,
fresh from Africa,
stuck in this
place without a
friend or family.
Almost froozed to
death by cold,
the room not
winterized and
no heater on.
The calmness and
the loneliness almost
consumed me.
I understand what
it is you are
going through.
I know exactly
what you mean.
I've been in
that place before.
When you find
yourself in a certain
place or situation.
Surrounded by people,
and yet alone.
So lonely that
i couldn't sleep.
As if attacked
by the chilling cold
penetrating through
the walls and windows.
Hands and toes,
so numb by the
colds chilling presence.
But I learned
a great lesson,
I learned how
to find warmth
in a cold place,
in a cold heart,
I learned how to
reach out to
people with my
warm heart,
to love greatly,
to give all that
I have in the
most beautiful way.

Now you only
see the outside
of the *** and
not what's inside.
Until you open the
*** I guess you'll
never know,
for the aroma you
perceive may be
the problem of
a different scent of
a potpourri and
incense on the table.
After the plate is set,
you may still be
hungry when whatever
is inside the ***
is not so good
and pleasing.
Because of what's
inside the ***
the appetite may vanish.
They said that beggars
have no choice but
that is not true,
because if they don't
have a choice they may
end up eating ****.
When you lose yourself
because you love
chicken soup so much,
you may end up
eating a vulture.
What went down,
is an important
message so amazing
you can't believe it,
it's too good to be true.
We must seek justice
by any means necessary.
Deal or no deal there
will always be a
perfect time to reason
with the unreasonable
and irrational fellow.
And that time is now.

Is it not
lovely to behold
graciousness in a
magnificent and
adorably enchanting and
passionately exquisite
lovable damsel.
It's supposed
to be a
golden time with
a remarkable
character of
elegance and beauty.
Adorned with
alluring smile,
with a beauty
as if stolen
from an Angel.
A rare gem like
a gift of heaven,
pure loveliness,
and breathtaking,
like a
soft melody of
a symphony orchestra,
you said.
But be careful,
she has a
sting of a
cobra and scorpion.
Like a sour
wine poisoned by
the venom of
a deadly snake.
But now i
have to retire
into the fortress,
my safe haven,
a deadly fly
just fell into
my glass of wine.
She is too
dangerous to love.
Only in Love
are Unity and
duality not in conflict.

Love beckons.
Calling from afar
to know the
heart that will
answer the call.
Another peep
into the crack
of the heart
in love,
beautifully
wrapped up
like a cream
flowing from
a silver jar
into the soft
and tender hands
of pure essence
of beauty.
She lay quietly
at the corner
of the room
waiting for her
love to return.
With the flicker
of the moonlight
penetrating through
the walls of
the buildings where
she lay down
wrapped up
in a fragrance
of a thousand roses.
With the candles
lit by the sides,
love beckons
as two hearts
reunite in bliss.
And suddenly she
kissed me as
if the sky
is on fire.
We melted together
and forgot
about the moment.
And love triumphed.

Today is the
beginning of
something really
uniquely new.
The thunderbolt,
has strike again,
my heart skipped
a little bit.
She has taken
over my heart
and my soul is
thrilled and happy.
She is so pretty,
passionately exquisite,
immaculately
beautiful to the core.
She smiled and said,
my name is already
written in your heart.
Look for me there.
All you have to do
is just call me and
I'll answer you.
She's so young
and cute.
So innocent and
fresh like a flower.
A beautiful budding rose.
Blooming alone
in the quiet corner
of my heart.
As ice melts
before the heat,
even so my heart
softened and bowed
to her sweetness.
Tender like a reed,
she wrapped her  
arms around me
and her lips slowly
like the child suckling
the Mother's *******
explores my mouth.
Her voice is of
the spirit and
of the heaven.
I definitely welcome
her with joy.

What have you
done with the
ability and strength
and talents in
your care.
What did you do
with the space
and another chance
given to change
and redeem yourself.
The black hawk
hovered above in
the blue sky.
Reminding us
how to hover with
tenacity over the
things we do.
With determination
we press forward
to the mark
set before us.
Through dedication
we hunt down
and focus on
our target and
heartfelt desire.
Without eyes we
can't see anything.
To enjoy everything,
we must be
truly committed with
love.
Observant to the core.
We reach out
to the sky
because we want
to touch the moon.
We touch each
others life with
what we do
because we are
the builders.
Life come and go,
the future is
not long.
Time went by,
like the silent
years old.
We gracefully aged
with wrinkles as
the years quietly
and quickly visits,
to take us away.
What did you do
today with your
time and aloneness
with your family.
Are you still
playing the blame
game dear.
It's time to stop.
Every leaf that
grows will tell you:
what you sow
will bear fruit.
Therefore my friend,
sow nothing but Love.

It looks like
no one really
cared.
Everyone seems
not to care,
but only cared
about what they
expect from you.
Only give-me-
give-me attitude,
they offer.
Now i have
a rub off
from this
to-take-to-take
down world.
How did I
ever became so
lost without a
caring heart.
Hardened and
nonchalant.
I guessed it
was the effects
of how they
actually acted
towards me.
Neglected and belittled,
abandoned as
if I didn't exist.
Their attitude rubbed
off on me.
It will happen
to you when
you live amongst
them like I did.
He said, i
feel like a stranger
around the family.
They have no
human values or
respect, no dignity.
I don't know
or understand what
happened to us.
What has happened
to everyone,
he pined.
We are the
walking dead
without feeling.
There are no
place safe or
safe haven.
It's dog eat dog.
Surviving daily
is hard.
Mother's can't
feed their children.
The children roaming
the streets begging
for help and handouts.
The elites and the
rich and wealthy
are not reachable.
The influential and
the powerful refused
to come down
from their high
horses to help.
They are watching
from their windows.
Sometimes throwing
down crumbs from
their rooftops.
This is not good.
There must be
a drastic change,
he concluded.

It's not in me,
neither is it
in your configuration
and make up
to live in
another's skin.
In poise,
you cannot stand
for me.
You definitely,
cannot breathe
for me,
or think for me.
It baffles me,
how you
suddenly became,
the director
of my life,
when you can't
manage yourself.
I will have
to decline
your offer,
and say no
to you.
My path is mine
and mine alone.
Let me discover
it's valley's and
creeks and fountains.
Allow me to
follow this ancient
path to climb
my mountain.
Everyone must follow
their own path
to this ancient
ancestral territory.
The soul in
your tabernacle must
go through the
rigours alone.
It must be
purified by this
sacred fire burning
in my soul to
be pure.
Don't interfere with
the divine helpful
abilities to ennoble
me to become.
I am always
becoming that thing,
which I am.

The flame of
the fire burning
up with fierce
force and consuming
all that confronts it
with such softness
and tenderness so
subtle it can never
actually cause harm.
Its fiery blaze
consumes everything
except the beloved.
Love is the fire
burning within the
depths of the heart.
It hides all errors,
melts all anger,
in all angles,
repair all wrongs,
when pride and
ego are killed
and allowed to die,
without resuscitating,
love blooms .
Resurrecting the dead
ego in anyway is
regrettably depressing.
The fire of love
is definitely divine.
It is pure and child-like.
We are the carrier
of that divine
enablement of the
light in love.
The clove of
that fire is
on top of
our heads burning
and drawing the
worthy ones
to it's flame
and brightness.

It is like a puzzle.
How do we survive
all these pressure
when we can't
put all the
pieces together
to solve it.
Can we resolve
this baffling puzzle.
We are now like a
disjointed figment
of a painful sore.
Pull yourself together
and do something
now that it is still
morning.
The clouds are
changing to announce
the approach of
the dark.
Even the owl calls out,
reminding you that
the night is here.
The silhouette of
their presence is
frightening.
Stealthy quite and
silent movements
in the dark beckoning
their arrival.
Waiting to strike a
deadly blow.
But already prepared
and waiting in ambush
are the few elect
special elite forces.
Taking the bull by
the horns,
they strike first and
solved the puzzle
that brought victory.

It is not
trouble that i seek
but to share
the peace of
my life,
my world and
my home.
All troubles
are missing
so the dance
of the spirit
is so peaceful,
like the eternal
starry sky,
the oldest word
flows out of
the heart of
the loved one.
Love is the
real reason why
we are all
in this universe
together.
It is our home,
the heartbeat
of our lives.
One cloud,
one universe,
same air but
only different zones.
We are all
beautiful and fragrant
roses of the
cosmic garden.

He stood unrepentant
at the other side
of the fence,
he defiantly
as the boss of
corrupt crimes
overwhelmed
by the burdens
of the moment
and blinded with
so much power,
he forgot to take
precautions.
Running wild with
intoxicating crimes,
so intertwined with
corruption and avarice,
he became lost in
his own flaws,
without knowing it's
always sunny on the
other side of life.
His cold heart cannot
revert to be better
because he chose
to remain in darkness.
Wallowing and groveling
in dirt,
his hands soiled with blood,
he is no longer a saint,
though he's never been anything
but guilty as charged.
I'm so devastated
about the unresolved
gruesome crimes meted
out of vindictive drive,
clueless direction and
to hear the cries of
my beloved people weeping.
I'm so sad at moment
that I can't be there to comfort
them at this time of need,
for the power that be
has chosen to oppress the land.

Within us heaven
shines forth.
Hell and the
dark side is
always with us
and consumes us.
But you find
the greater light
only by seeking it
and by invitation.
What we have
inside is like
a seamless ocean
without boundaries
that is infinite.
It flows from
within to wherever
it's willfully directed
and willingly chooses to
rest and abide.
The two opposite
paths within are open.
It depends on
which path you
willfully choose to walk.
You need to
see the shadows
within you to
understand the
conflicts and
problems on others.
Heaven within is
attainable when you
thrive for it.
Joy and serenity
comes when you
follow the way
of the middle path.
First find it
and heaven will
find you out.

You know the
way for sure,
to where you
are going but
then at night
time you still
need the light
in your darkness
to see the
mark to your
destination better.
Here comes the
night to mess
with your vision,
but you still
need the moonlight
to show you
the path way,
even if you
know the *****
to the castle,
or to the
valley or mountain,
in the day or
to your doorstep
or to explore
the deep forest,
or even to
check the alley
in the dark time,
even if it's familiar
and you know
it by heart you
still don't have
a night vision,
but you still
need the help
of a lesser
or greater light
more than ever.
May the essential
quality of the
glorious light shine
forth to light
up our paths
in the darkness
of our hearts,
illuminate it and
make our lives
more beautiful as
ever as the morning sun.

Safe you think,
not saved yet,
for sure.
You can't be
fully saved,
not until you
are completely
free.
Freedom can only
be guaranteed
to the one
who follows the
way of truth,
for only the
truth can set
you free.
Nothing else
really matters
to the soul
of the ones
who heard that
trumpet call,
for once you
heard the song
of the heart,
you are no
longer a prisoner
in ******* of lies.
Empty your self
from within,
cleanse your soul
and let your
spirit soar.
What is there
to achieve when
you overburdened
yourself with garbage,
it is an overload
too heavy for the
spirit to bear.
Too overwhelming
to accommodate.
Cleanse yourself
internally and reclaim
your life naturally.
You will be
glad you did.

There is a
reach of grassland
in the distance.
Here everything happens,
just for you.
Each moment the
glorious treasures
in the universe
reassures the heart
of the promise
of each day.
Together with all
creatures of the
earth breathes,
same air and
drinks same water,
as life giving force.
What a beautiful
sequence of love
in sharing.
We become food
for each other
Give and take
sustained us.
Out of Eden,
man tilled the ground,
toiled for food,
sweats in his garden.
Outside of Eden,
man struggles
to survive.
Our health failed,
none eats right.
Death is upon us,
for there is
no peace,
man made wars
ravaged the cities,
age of reason,
eludes man.
But now,
man must recover
the paradise lost.
Back to Eden
we must go,
to restore the
lost glory,
for man now
lives in a
faulty state.
The whole system
is deplorable and
apparently appalling.
To rebuild the
failed relationship of
pure and divine
love once again,
man must toil
once again to
recover Eden,
for this paradise
is not lost
after all.

In this cold mountain,
silence beckons.
It is a nightmare,
the final destination
is on the verge of collapse,
the spirit awakens,
for there's fear lurking
in the darkness
Inspite of everything.
Destroyed in seconds
our strength failed,
even our faith,
for strength is born out
of faith and passion.
Trembling and weak at
the knees the heart faints.
Light my eyes so I can see
better and deeper into
the realm beyond.
Rough night is envisaged,
for the hard sun had come
in the morning before.
The animal in us
unleashed to confront
the monster.
We must do the craziest
things to survive this bizarre
maze of a place.
There's a killer beside me,
a killer closer than your breath.
The sword of the spirit and
the power of love is stronger
than your heart.

From my writings
you'll see the
beauty of my soul.
My life and heart
is bare and open.
You have a glimpse
into my life through
the words flowing
from the heart.
From my stories
you can envisage
the history of my life.
The cries of
my soul is wrought
and wrapped around
my words.
Understand me,
all you who
peeps into my world.
Don't judge me
for I'm not
answerable to you,
but browse with
an open mind.
for you cannot
do anything about it.
Absolutely nothing will
come out of your
analysis of me.
It is not
in you as man
to judge me.
It is not
your path
or your life.
As hard as
my life can be,
it is submerged
in love.
How can you
judge me when
you can't even
understand half
of what you see.
Be careful of
what you see,
for it may
carry a heavy price.
All that you
see are not
what it seem.
They are illusions.

As the gathering
of penguins by
the ocean side,
pestering the fishes
and fending for
themselves,
but also unwittingly
exposed as a
prey for others.
So are the
oppressors among
the people ravaging
and causing havoc
without knowing
they too exposed
themselves as a
mark to be
targeted when the
time is ripe.
The seagull calls,
warned of serious
impending danger.
But none listens,
for deafness is
one of their
many failings.
Among the creatures
of the earth,
man is the
only one so
very destructive.
So oppressive to
each other and
trying to see
how far he
can get with
his ability to
dare to do.
Not knowing that,
him too will
be in distress
and so devastated
and disadvantaged.
Would he had
known all of these,
none of these
countless dis-ease
would visit to
ravage him.

Get well and bloom
again you that
withered like the
autumn tree waiting
for the winter to come.
But the winter is over,
where is your strength.
You still bow down
from the hurts of life.
I know the feeling
of your pain.
I see your struggle.
I see the hidden
strength from your roots.
I know you will overcome.
You are not that frail
and fragile.
You can sprout again
just like the tree
after the winter is passed.
Your season to rise
is here.
Just one bud is enough,
nature will take care of
the rest.
Behold another rain
is here to encourage
you to sprout.
Children are eagerly
waiting to play under
your stretched arms.
Summon your last
strength from the
mother earth and
breath again.
Recover from the
shock and hurts of life
and live again.
You are stronger than
you think or imagined.
Spread your arms
towards the sun,
it's the life giver.
Open your heart wide
enough to love again,
for this life is too short to
mourn over what is not
worthy of grief.

Wait with me,
in silence for
the first time
under the
pear tree,
so the sun
will go down.
Walk with me,
even if you
don't want to,
I'd like to
show you the
beauty of
the night.
Sit with me
awhile to share
the thoughts and
the dreams of
my heart.
Sing with me
this new song,
to comfort and
bring solace and
soothe the
broken hearted.
Dance with me
tonight to drive
away this heartache
for the moment.
Hug me for
just this moment,
so i can hide
inside your
heart beats.
Pray with me
a little bit,
even if you
don't know how.
Let's laugh
out so loud
even if you
don't feel like,
it will make
you feel better.
Let's just hang out
and hold each other,
it will make
a difference.
Let's just smooch
and kiss
for a while,
and feel the
breathlessness as
our heart pounds
together in the
dance of love,
it's better than
arguing over nothing. ®

Risking it all
for love is
something beautiful
and mesmerizing.
Two opposite hearts
coming together
is truly awesome.
Giving your heart
to someone else
is like a
casino bet,
risking all for
the dream only
you can see.
Believing the
impossibility and
putting your life,
your whole life
into the hands
of the one
you barely know,
sometimes against
the will of
your family,
and friends who
knows and understands
you better.
But you will
definitely defy
their best
heartfelt judgement
for your gut
feelings about
a total stranger.
Most times you
win and the
heart in bliss rejoices
and sometimes
you lose and
the heart bitterly weeps.
Another really hurts
and can't even
understand why
it failed even
though they tried.
The first thing
that should draw
two people together
should be Chemistry.
That magnetic feeling
of deep respect
and attraction.
And when it
is right everyone
is happy.
But when is
it really exactly
ever right.
It is a
risky madness.

You are not that
easy to fathom,
not as simple
as you think.
Very difficult
and complex.
Even in your
assumed simplicity
you are still
profoundly not
so simple.
Do you know that,
a different version
of you exists in
the minds of
everyone you know.
Because of your
complex nature,
characteristic traits,
change in moods,
reaction under pressure,
demeanor and manners
exhibited in any
condition and situation,
unwittingly gives another
different version of you.
You are not
really exactly what
you think you are.
There are so
many things wrapped
up in excellence
within you.
The perception
and understanding
of you is quite
different from how
you see yourself,
even with your family.
We surprise ourselves
most of the time,
then give excuses
and reasons why we
reacted in certain way.
Our unique combination
of our differences is
what makes us stronger
and beautiful.
Admit your version,
even your new edition now
and enjoy it immensely.

Exploring the inner
mines of life
will exhaust you.
It needs calmness
and a deep
sense of serenity
to get beyond
the limits.
To dig within
the shores of
your mind and
your thoughts
takes a great
deal of your
strength.
Hidden away inside
you is that
stealth inner ability
to dare to do.
It takes a
lot to understand
and unlock what is
honest within you.
Our talents and
abilities lying dormant
can be cultivated
with resilience and
persistent pressure
and approach to
polish the hidden
gem within you.
Unlocking greatness
is a daily dose
of the spirit
unleashed with
mindfulness towards
breaking the boundaries
of your personal space.

Those who
have encountered
the fury of
nature's spirit
when messed with
will testify to
the wrath of
it's actions.
Unforgiving it may
seem but it's
law of justice
is strikingly strict.
When you
encounter the
volcano or have
a stand off
with cyclone or
a rub off
with an earthquake
or even the tempest,
or a visit by
the tsunami or
even watch
from a distance,
you will understand
without much
explanation
about the fury
of nature's spirit.
You will assume
for a moment
that God has
no love for you.
But within that
unimaginably
unbearable
catastrophe is
so much love hidden.
He will still
show mercy.
His kindness,
he extends.
His benevolence
still comforts.
He unwittingly
forces others
to reach out
to help and relate.

A solemn peep
into the crack
beyond this realm
is not that
complex but it
ushers the best
into your
consciousness.
Trust the beauty
within
your own Universe,
not everyone
has the same
magical tapestry
of stars,
mystically aligned
to keep you company.
Athena is patiently
waiting for you
to pay attention
so you can
learn your new lesson.
Thoughts are electric,
feelings are magnetic.
Together they create
electromagnetic field
that attracts all
things to you.
Detach yourself
from frivolities
so your ego
will not stand
in your way
to cause your
weakness and
unhappiness.
Inner strength is
given to only
those whose sole
desire is to
conquer themselves.

He was asked to play
the seventh count of
suicide sudden death game
in the Russian roulette to
save his family dynasty
from being wiped out by
an aristocrat billionaire
in a long age old feud.
No one is allowed to enter
but the strong hearted.
Couldn't you just
see the secret plan
for your demise.
That death sentence
was like getting on a
roller coaster that
had steep drops,
neck breaking curves,
and no restraining bar.
To love your family this
much must be awesome,
worthy of infinite importance.
Willingness to sacrifice
yourself is profound.
With luck on his side,
to survive he must.
This is where deadly surprises
and chance will meet luck.
Determined to live or die,
he defiantly persisted.
This last shot got him out
of the game.
He won and became the man of
unbeatable luck.
His family dynasty secured
and freed from the death feud.
Once again he can walk around
as a freeman.
Yes he survived and
the family survived yet again.
What a great sacrifice.

It can be
a part of
what you enjoy
doing at will.
You are happy
with the fragrance
of their life.
The flowers of
the African orchard.
Magnificent and exotic,
beautiful and graceful,
inviting and lovely,
they adorn majestically
our surroundings
here and there,
without moving,
ready to sacrifice,
and lay down their
lives for you.
In your admiration
of their loveliness
you exhibited your
weakness and ignorance,
harvesting their lives
for merchandise.
In your cruelty,
you forcefully use
and waste their
fragrance without
any remorse.
Not minding the
pain they feel
as you cut
off their parts
for your happiness.
As they endured
your barbaric gesture
for centuries,
you called it love.
You didn't know
they feel the
pain too as
they screamed out
in Kirlian distress test.
Who will ever
listen to their
cry and help them.
As you squished
and mashed to
squeeze out their
oils and fragrances
to enrich yourselves,
without reparations.
How does that
make you feel.
No sympathy or
empathy for them.
Yet you claim
to love and
have feelings.
Be careful of
what you enjoy
doing else you
will be judged
by nature.

What is so
complicated in
these things
that were
supposed to
be so simple
and beautiful.
Besides their
tremendous
simplicity is a
very vital part
of what you
want to be.
Immense profound
untapped energy
have a lot of
perplexing imprint
on our psych.
It brings back
memories of what
is inside of us.
We just need
to push harder
to manifest the
hidden gem within.
But our body
after it's travesty
needs fixing and
much cleaning.
The stratagem system
of the blood
looming will fog
up your being.
That's just part
of the mess
we inherited.
Thoughts formed must
help to rebuild
the body system
for deeper vacuum
of the debris left,
so bliss can
finally return.

Magnificently and
beautifully with grandeur,
the new dawn
quietly emerged
from the darkness.
A new door,
fresh as the morning,
the fresh air
of the ocean breeze
slowly unfold itself.
Split of dawn,
like a sword,
silent as night,
ushered in the
rising sun.
Like the baby turtle
emerges from
its shell without
a care rushes  
to take its
first bath at
the sea,
risking everything,
but to survive.
The new dawn,
at this morning,
greets you.
Welcome it,
enjoy its warm
embrace as it
enfolds you with
solace and love.
It brings the
message of the
miraculous.
With it's first
and fresh early
morning dew from above,
it blesses you.

When you need
just five minutes
of peace.
Just listen to
your heart beats,
they tell you
that you are
still alive.
Listen to
yourself instead
of the world
and your problems,
if you just
want to peace
out a bit.
Why are chickens
so much more
than brain birds.
Chickens,
like many
other animals,
are resplendently
different from
one another.
They can be
therapy birds,
worried mothers,
helpful friends,
impressive memorizers.
The clear capsule
start dissolving
as soon as
it is immersed
in a quiet
pool water.
So are your
problems dissolves
in thin air
when you let
them go.
Cease to worry
about those things,
they are like
ants that crawls
all over you
when you make
a softened butter
creamed with sugar
and paste on your
skin as cream.

Your embrace is
warm but
why do i
feel cold as
if I'm in
the Antarctica.
I'm so close
to you yet
feel so far away,
as if closer
to the moon
and the stars.
Stop walking
all over me
with your
***** feet,
i am not
a ladder for
you to climb
to your greatness.
Stop directing
my life,
you are not
the one beating
the drum of
the music I dance.
Stop talking
too loud,
so I can hear
the one talking within.
Stop blocking
my view,
so I can see
the beauty and
wonders of nature.
Move back
a little bit
from my
personal space,
you are standing
too close
for comfort,
i can't breathe.
Let's stand together,
maybe you can
see the glory
of his creations,
and believe.

All these experiences,
emotionally broke me.
It changed my life
and my heart has
taken more than
it can handle.
My eyes are
so stiff it can
no longer sleep.
The body so
weak it now
struggles for balance.
Now i wish i could
take back my
introduction to her.
But I'm going
to be okay
for my heart
are definitely opened.
I'm coming back
again stronger than
ever before.
Giving it an
extra punch is
the best way
to get around it.
What exactly I'm
i talking about,
i really don't know
and don't remember.
But i want to
take off the
sky just for you.

Loving the living
and the unlovable
is really so hard.
Fulfill the law,
what law
you may ask.
The new law.
Law on love,
engraved so deeply
in your heart.
It's so simple.
Swallow your pride,
enter the narrow gate,
save yourselves.
Why would something
so simple be
so hard to do.
And why will
anything meant to
bring joy
be so painful.
Love leads to
life eternal.
If you don't
want to hear
"I never knew you "
then love your
neighbor as yourself
for your neighbor
is an important
extension of you .
If you don't
want to be
the reject, or
feel rejected
by the words,
"depart from me",
"I never knew you",
then do the
right things for
your safety and
love deeply without
asking for anything
in return,
but to just love.
Love is divine.
Love fulfills the law.
Love hides a
multitudes of sin.
Love is acceptable.
Love heals.
Love mends.
Love rebuilds.
With love war
and strive ceases.
Pride is the
absence of
understanding with love.
You'll never enter
the new kingdom
without love.
Never means never,
trust me.
It's just that simple.
The only way
to harmony here
and in
eternity is love.
Just to love.

The eagle spreads
its wings and flies
up towards the sky,
overlooking everything,
the overlord
of the sky
watching everything.
But the soaring
eagles eyes caught
something interesting.
Saw your intent,
but was kinda
confused about
your flirtatious rigmarole.
He now queries it,
whispering.
Your spouse and
your side chick,
which one is
more special.
Tell me who
is the most beautiful
and which one
do your heart
desires most.
The heart that
loves you faithfully,
and alluringly yields
to you fully,
or the one
without love but
willing to give
her body for ***,
never want to
have you for keeps.
Which one is
more gratifying.
Are you willing
to introduce your
side chick
to your family
since you love
her so much?
Or you just
love stealing victories
belonging to another.
And the eagle
suddenly dives down
to pick up it's prey.
With a shrilly cry,
and a sound
of victory he
flew towards the
mountains to devour
its prey.

Dream of flowers,
and magic of the
chandler light,
full of love and
and vitality,
caused by early
morning dew.
Charmed the heart
to prepare for
the evening pomp.
Feelings of warm
cozy embrace,
in spring evening.
Waiting for dinner
to be served.
Tonight is one
of many of
those unforgettable
beautiful moments.
Smiles and giggles,
mixed with the
clinks of wine glasses.
Soft music allures
the heart to
amorous mood.
Lovely special
evening outing,
never to forget.
Looks like I'm
charmed tonight.
But I'm liking it.
So come along,
let's explore this
charming evening
together.

The night sky
is full of
bright stars and
full moon.
So rich with
all the heavenly
bodies showing
off their glory.
Something significant
is happening as
there's no sign
of rain tonight.
So beautiful and
windy here.
As if it's
divinely arranged.
Thank goodness,
there's serenity and
calmness.
There's an infinite
cosmic blessings
looping above this
special summer
night sky with
beautiful starry glow.
This is love divine
literally exporting itself
to possess those
who are ready.
Looking up at
the night sky
you can tell
what's really happenings.
And then in
your mind beautiful
thoughts are formed
to prepare you.
For your heart
is happy with
all the pomp going on.
Sing with me
a little bit more
and say a
joyous word,
for the night sky
is waiting to
take it beyond
to the morning.

Hear the cry
of this humble
Royal prince,
for the blood
of this Royal
noble one pleads
for his people
who are massacred
in numbers.
I plead with
everything that sinks
evil in man and pass
human understanding
and bring sanity
to human dignity
to wipe out
totally and eradicate
this evil working
in our midst.
May there be a
return of peace in
our communities.
We are family
and cannot be
disparaged by
any means.
Our lives can
never be untitled.
We cannot keep
on going back 
to the places
where we once
lost everything hoping
for a different end.
May the true
change bring back
unity and progress,
Prosperity and freedom,
integrity and peace.
Let truth and
genuine love return to us.
May the wing
of oneness like
an eagle the great
revered sacred bird
cover and shield us.
May we stand firm
unshakable like
the anunuebe tree,
the mystical king
of the forest,
that mysterious
outstanding king
of all trees
and like the elephant
that never forgets,
be gentle to one another.
