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.

What is this thing
that you see
in my heart
that trips you
to fall to pieces.
I'm really not
that so cool,
you see.
I'm so broken
like a damaged good.
Maybe you can
fix and polish
my brokenness
with your mixture
of silver and gold
to make it glow
and shine like
the brightest star
in the firmament.
With your love
dancing in my heart,
i can come
alive again.
This pure sweetness
overtakes me with
alluring beauty.
Hope to love
once again is
restored.
This is what
my heart desires.
A selfless love
from an amazing heart
to an undeserved soul.
My heart will
definitely dance to
the music of love
from your soul.
I am no
longer lost,
for I'm found
by a beautiful soul
with a graceful heart
and a sweet alluring smile.
Now the new dawn
is finally here,
i arise with
love from within
like the sun.

Can i ever
find you in
the stars or
your love in
the rivers that
constantly flows
and meandering
following its path
and destiny
but never stops
for anyone.
Can i find
constant and consistent
love in this fickle
heart that never
stops beating.
When will this
breeze that rushes
past me ever stops
to wait for me,
maybe love is
hidden within
your speed.
How can i
ever catch up
with the spirit
in the air
or hold it
within my palm,
maybe love can
stop and just
for a moment
embrace my being.
How is it
that my optical
eyes can not
behold the things
of the heart,
yet i can
feel the
eternal presence
of it's breathe
pounding within
as if it
wants to burst out
into the open
like the ocean tide
that will later
finally abates.
Maybe love is
just a fleeting
illusion that is
better take in
like the air
into the lungs
just to live
from moment to moment.
If you ever
find it's hiding
place would you
please tell
love I'm also
looking and waiting.

You can't manage it,
it's unimaginable what it can do,
neither can you endure it,
not even patience can stand it.
It's like a car without fuel,
or one with a flat tire,
it won't go anywhere until
it is filled and changed.
Hunger can beat up and
****** a child in front of
the mother or family and
they won't do anything.
It makes and drives one crazy.
It can cause you to think
and do the impossible.
Unwittingly we must cross
the line of the rat race to
become dynamic individuals
to beat the hunger that erode
and corrodes our society.
A normal person can turn
into a monster or a mobster,
just to feed the family.
It drives one to the edge,
to become either a saint
or a criminal.
Most crimes are caused
by hunger and impoverisheness.
Where the kids are involved,
anything can be done,
risks taken just to feed them.
It's catastrophic havoc can
be frightening,
can be definitely dreadfully depressing,
It's continuous visit causes
malnourishment and kwashiorkor,
a menace to be feared.
Pray it does not come knocking
on your door.
It's visitation is one you can't easily forget.

In my soul I am free,
Free as the wind,
I watch the birds in flight,
I have watched the cloud move,
and I know I am also free.
There is freedom in the way
the grass and tree grows.
In the way nature express itself,
There is freedom.
Therefore,you cannot be fully saved
Until you are completely free.
I am free because I stand in liberty.
I found my freedom in that place
where I stand in my
Conscience;
therefore I Speak.
Liberty of conscience of men
are being threatened by those
Who in duty of their volition has violated
the most sacred Gift of God;
who has formed and called us into liberty.
Let us then come together in unity
and in one loud voice shout-
Freedom.

The cut is deep
and hurts so bad.

Numbed to my bones,
the marrows freezed
like the water
in the ice box.

But my heart
and my soul
affected is
is now healed.

By the hands
of him whose
touch is like
the balm of Gilead

I found succor
and deliverance
that's soothing,
calming and comforting.

Full of love
and compassion,
he offered warmth
and solace to
my fragile heart.

His presence
strengthened my frail
tired body.

And now my soul
vitalized by the
divine effulgence
which gave it strength.

I'm a renewed being,
recreated and different.

My nature changed
to that of
an exulted being.

I am more
than you could
ever imagined.

A creature of heaven
in an earthly body.

Purified and sanctified
for this very purpose.

And in pursuit
of this purpose,
I found myself.

Yes,
you don't know me.
You just think that you do.
I am the mysterious one,
elusive and highly talented,
unassuming and modest,
a bit of a recluse,
an object of mingled awe
and revulsion,
simultaneously revered
and abhorred,
a misunderstood soul,
yet lovable.
I am the noble one,
with a beautiful Soul,
The one created in Gods image.
You just don't know me.
You think you do.
Your opinion of me
may be right
or my be wrong,
depending on the platform
you stand to view.
I am a healer,
a seer,
I am unique,
I am Special,
I am an enigma,
the Called,
the Justified,
Predestinated,
the odd fellow.
I am the Chosen One.
The one the Holy Spirit
is Pleased to dwell in.
I am a Prophet.
The joint-heir with Christ.
I am many things to different people.
And because I chose to be peaceful
doesn't mean I don't know how to fight.
I may have a gentle touch,
but I am not at all weak.
I am principled.
I respect you,
and I ask that you do too.
All I ever want is for you
to remember me as loving you.

I'm like
a diamond,
shining with
the brightness
of a glittering star,
a rare gem.
Pick me up,
I'm interesting
to know.
If you feel
I'm so *****,
clean me up,
so I can dazzle
and glitter
just for you.
I'm a valuable
possession you
can treasure.
I am Priceless.
I may not
look like what
you have and
always want but
believe me
i am worth it.
Even my droppings
are truly delicious
like the dumplings.
Believe me
when i say,
you can never
regret my
refreshments,
they will satisfy
your inner hunger
and quench your
perched throat
of thirst.
Don't throw away
the ***** water
with the baby.
Rinse the baby
of dirt and

diamond to shine.

I am that
of which you
cannot fathom.

Deeper than what
you have ever seen.

You don't know
who i am.

I am a part
of that of
which you are.

I am more
than that which
i was before now.

And even more
than that which
i am now.

You have no
idea of what
I've become.

I am larger
than that of
whatever you
think I am.

I am of nature,
the water and
the wind.

I am the moon
and the stars,
untouched and far  
away from man.

The stars are
my many eyes
of which i see you.

With the moon,
i still see you
even in your darkness,
as I see you
with the brightness
of the sun.  

I am the sun,
the bringer and
giver of life.

I am the
life in your breathe,
pulsating inside you.

I am the thoughts
in your mind
seeking expression
through your mouth.

I am the eyes
of your soul
that sees what
the spirit reveals.

I am the
unspeakable words,
the unutterable
from the spirit.

I am the
invisible one,
i didn't choose this,
this chose me.

I am in the wind,
with the strength
that part and
breaks the sea.

I am the path
of life that
leads to the
great beyond.
Threaded only by
the brave.

I am,
that,
i am,
He said.

Even if your heart
is breaking ;
Trust me.
Even if you
no longer feel
my presence,
It is because
you didn't notice:
I am there.
Only in stillness
and quiet understanding
Can you know
me as I am.
My silence is
my way
of strengthening you.
It is my way
of encouraging you
to take that
bold step of
faith toward me.
Only my touch
can ease
the pain you
are feeling now.
Even if your heart
refused to be encouraged,
Take hold of my hand
and walk with me
And let me love you.
Let me teach
you to love.
Let me teach
you to laugh
And be happy,
To forget everything
that has passed.
You are mourning
for what is not
worthy of grief.
Let me teach you
to build on what
you have experienced,
Instead of bending
under the load of it.

Since I have become an
unnecessary annoyance to you,
Why are you still hanging
around me.
Why are you so desperate
to attach yourself to me?
Why not simply allow me to go?
Everything you said about me is true,
Yes you are correct,
Yes you are right.
I am a nonconformist.
Let me go my own way.
We are not seeing eye to eye.
We are not meant to be together.
You will wake up tomorrow and thank me for leaving.
A leopard can never change its skin
The ocean can never flow backwards.
The sun must always rise from the east.
When a man can no longer breath,
he dies.
This arrangement of forceful cohabitation can no longer work.
This integration is choking me.
This amalgamation is suffocating.
You know it's not working .
I am the lion from the Ibo tribe.
I am the king of the African forest.
I am the whirlwind,
I am the storm,
I am the rain,
I fall where ever I chose.
Grace is upon me.
The breath of the Almighty propels me.
My intent to survive is genuine.
I have already proven it to you.
Don't force yourself on me.
Don't  intimidate me,
I am not such a one.
I will fearlessly
and vehemently oppose you.
You forced me into a corner
as if I am a social *****.
I cannot function like that.
I am a free spirit.
I must soar.
Let me be.

Like the sun,
I rise
with warmth,
to touch
your life
and your heart
with my words,
to infect you
and brighten
your day
with my smile.
I arise
with love,
I arise with
beauty that
will melt
your heart.

touch your world
with love
as you have
touched mine.
Let my
love bring
heaven to you.
Let me
bring healing

I want
to be the

I am sorry,
so you will
never hurt anymore.
Let my tears
wash your sorrows,
let it
wash your feet,
to cleanse it.
It will
bring solace
into your bones.

rise to the
sky with you
on my mind
and in my
final moments
to touch the sun
and be absorbed
by his love.

Within this space
of my happy place.

There, inside my heart
in my aloneness,
and solitude
in my quiet moments
and inner silence.

Within my heart,
in the stillness
of my soul,
i find the peace
that i seek.

As if my soul
touched the clouds
and the whole
universe shrinks
before my eyes
becoming one with me.

Of that which
i seek in myself,
i found in within.

Like the seed
within a fruit,
i now become.

And like a
ripe fruit that
fell off the tree,
i am.

Alone and ready
to sprout and
bloom in the
royal garden.

New amongst
the exotic plants,
i must blossom.

Among the
royal princes,
my regal rope,
i wore.

Seems i am
a verse in the
chapter of a
new book.

I blended and
subtly merged,
now tangled with
the galaxy.

I am now
the sun and
the moon and
the stars of
the universe.

I became the water,
penetrating into
all things.

I became the air
within the wind
floating in space.

I became
all things within
and without.

And in all
things i found
myself.

To a love that will never die,
a love to be desired always,
my friendly lover and
my most loveliest friend,
my darling dear.
I celebrate you
and all that you are today.
You are a beautiful soul.
The best gift life can
ever give to me.
There's nothing I want more,
than to be with someone like you.
Spending my life time
with you is my desire
for you are my world.
Because of you,
heaven is within reach.
Your heart is where
the angels gathers,
for bliss is there.
Your smile is sunshine
to my world,
it revives and gives new life
and meaning to my being.
Your touch heals even
the most painful hurts,
the hardness of heart
your love softened,
and the pain melts away.
Pleasurable are your words.
You are impossible to resist.
Immaculately beautiful,
with exquisite behavior,
you have an instinct for the
right and wrong things to say.
Never heard you make a faux pas.
Your care nurtures the
weak and afflicted back to life.
You are a virtuous woman,
not tired of the pesky ways
of people around you,
you endured their unruly manners,
with your generosity and kindness
you win the hearts of the irracible ones.
You made the best of each moment.
Everything and all the ***** chores
seems so easy to handle.
Because you are here,
your presence is comforting.
Thank you for letting me win your heart,
I'm so grateful for all that you are.

This monstrous being,
an entity from
another realm
stealthily and silently
moved slowly
with calmness
in the darkness.
Maybe it's unaware
of my presence
or maybe it's just
ignoring me
as I'm not a
treat to it.
I heard the
cricket chirping
and the night
frog crocking at
a distance in
the darkness.
Their song unwittingly
helped make the
night feel more
mysteriously outstanding.
The night was
dreadfully and
awfully quiet.
There is something
very ominous
about this night.
It sends the
goosebumps
up my spine.
It was drizzling.
The stars of
the night were
sleeping and the
clouds was devoid
of any light
except the sound
of thunderstorm
shattering the sky,
piercing even into
the interior
of the house.
Sleep has gone,
replaced by
restlessness and
curiosity mixed with
fear and apprehension.
Alone here hiding
after the terror
of the dusk.
It's a horrible
experience so terrifying
that I can't
even breath.
I can see
faintly the
silhouette of that
entity moving
away from me,
and I exhaled
with so much
gladness to be
free from this
terrible monster.
People will never
truly understand
something until it
happens to them.

I feel every
moment of you
in my heart.
I feel loved,
I feel your warmth,
I feel alive
because of
your presence.
I feel the
words you spoke
to me.
It's like a
quantum success,
a heartwave.
I can hear
you in my
head and my
heart feels you.
In the heart
where the heaven
and earth meets,
there you reside.
I carry you
in my heart
along with me
from the beginning,
and there i
can meet you,
there I can hug
and hold you
whenever you are
absent from me.
And from now on,
we will make
it better than it was.

If you are going
to tell me to leave,
i might but I won't.
I just can't.
Leave to where.
I've come a long way
just to be here
I can't quit.
I just got here.
This journey wont
just end now,
and here ever,
it has just began.
The time mark
just started.
Tick tock,
tick tock,
can you hear it.
It's been there
all along.
And I'm going
all the way,
to find the end
or is it the beginning.
It's  like the snake
biting it's tail.
The end or the
beginning,
whichever comes first,
it's still alright.
Both are points of
beginning.
Nothing ever ends,
only beginnings,
beautiful beginning
of something new.
Dawning wonderful,
new beginning.
Don't leave it,
and don't ever quit.
It is what it is
and it's all good.
I don't know what
I don't know.
But If you know,
you know.

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 know your heart,
believe me,
I know.
I know the elation
and the joy inside
the heart when
everything seems alright.
I also know the joy and
understand the pain of
that feeling of loneliness
that overwhelms you.
I know the anguish
of your heart and I know
that you are hurting.
I know the confusion
that visits the heart
when finances dwindle
by reason of illness.
I know those sleepless
nights alone in the dark cold
nights at the park when you
don't have a place to dwell in.
I know your fear and
I have seen what it can do.
I know the unbearable
heartrending tears that flows
throughout the night when you
think the world has caved in on
you and life is not fair.
I know the hopelessness
of the one who is so helpless.
How you wish you can disappear
and not be noticed even when you
are in the crowd or
with your loved ones.
I know at the moment you wish
for death that will not come
so soon for a reason because,
beloved child of God,
you are highly favored,
Weep not again,
heaven has heard your cry.
Help and comfort,
solace and Providence from the
culmination of your past efforts are
here to bring to you desired good.
Thank goodness gifts and support are rendered.
Arise and shine again.

Why are you here,
i still keep
asking myself.

I know you are
not here to give
me some roses.

I know you are
not here to listen
to what i have to say.

I know how
it feels when
you are not wanted.

Is rejection
a part of love,
is it really
a part of life.

It is full
of horrible and
heartrending pain.

The kind of pain
my heart never
deserves or desire.

Like a broken rib
it hurts even more
when you breathe.

Only you can feel
the pain just like  
a sore thumb.

With shame
you hide behind
your skin.

Even with your
clothes on,
you still feel naked.

Confused as the
tortoise taken out
from its first habitat.

He's forever miserable,
because he can't
find its way home.

I am like the bee,
gives you honey,
so sweet but
stings as you
cross allowed boundaries.
I am like
the rose flower,
gives my fragrance
freely but careful
you must be.
I'm not without
my torns and
will pirece your
fingers for
your carelessness.
I'm a gentle loner
just like the scorpion,
don't walk all
over me or
step on me
as if I'm
a weakling or
pick me up
because of my fragile
nature or I'll be your
near death experience.
I'm like the
stinging nettle,
I'll decorate your skin
with my deadly marks
and make you dance
even when there's
no music playing.
And like the
beautiful ivy flower,
poisonous and deadly,
don't ever harrass me
by plucking my leaves,
to feed on
or you'll be dead
in a second.
Stop messing with
everything in sight
just because you think
you are superior.
Even the little porcupine
can chase away
the strongest lion.
Even as i'm tiny
as corona virus,
I'm able to
chase everyone into
their homes and
lockdown the whole world.
All the weapons
fashioned by man
is useless against me.
And woe betide you
if you dare show
your face outside.
I'm as selective
if you keep
and maintain a
social distance.
You must maintain
asepsis by proper
handwashing and wear
your ninja mask.
And when i
see your blood,
i may have mercy
and passover you
by reason of your
bloodtype and immune system.

This sleep is closing my eyes,
taking me away on this journey
into another place in another time,
that world only slightly beyond,
didn't seem far but as if it's
just in another room
in a different galaxy.
I feel as if I'm drunk with
the nectar of divine wine.
I'm so powerfully pulled over
the mountains inwardly
toward my home.
The glorious symphony music
beckons me.
Seemed million miles away
but yet so near.
Caught up in the third heaven,
in the company of angels
as they carried me away into
different mansions of the souls,
strata and spheres of the cathedral
to be healed and cleansed,
prepared and refreshed from
my earthly sojourn for yet another
day to be lived as I return.
But the inner view must be hidden
with veil upon veil as doors upon doors
are opened and closed for my consciousness to experience and learn the lessons offered,
and upon return to my earthly temple that the
secret knowledge of the visions shown
not to be fully revealed.
This experience is private and personal in nature.
Unwittingly forgetfulness and clouded  patterns within must persists in
this peculiar daily encounter,
but the spirit man within must
also vaguely remember
and not to totally allow it to rescind.
The consciousness of man
must be imprinted with a resonance of various types of vibration according to
the octaves within the wavelength
of the divine scale.
Sleep is sort of a near death experience,
a touch of heaven within the earth,
it carries with it the penalty
of a profound price depending on
the condition of the life essence
of the earth man.
The silver lining can be broken or strengthened,
and the spirit's stay or return is eminent.
I am fully awake and aware,
being conscious of the divine in my life through the unction of revealed truth that I received.

This flitting time,
does it actually
really exist
at all as
we know it.
Time is an illusion.
It keeps moving,
without waiting for
anyone.
It is a
respecter of none.
This time used
it's power of
cunning craftiness
and deceived me
because i couldn't
cope with it's
illusory speed,
no one could.
I feel so defeated.
I can't catch up
with this illusion
of time magic.  
The past,present
and the future,
all exists at once
now at this moment.
Depending on
where you are
in your
consciousness.
You can be
anywhere in a
twinkle of a
moment with your
eyes closed.
Traveling to other
places takes you
to other different
time zones,
ahead of you
or still behind.
That place which
you have have been,
now is already
in the past.
Whatever plans you
conceive in your
mind or think
to do now is
in your future.
The things already
done are in
your past and
these can also
be remembered or
momentarily forgotten.
There is only
one absolute present.
The illusion of time
are crafted by
our memories.
This time travels
moves me as
fast as light.
But i live in
the present moment.

I am an
odd fellow,
don't expect me
to be like you.
I follow the
path of my
destiny.
The sun doesn't
shine for you
alone.
Neither the moon
at night time
belongs to you.
The wind cannot
cease because
of you,
everything benefits.
Breathe in the
air of life,
and exhale love.
Cold and it's
chilling snow flecks
is felt by all.
The odd things
happened for a
reason.
For you to
know and live
life and love,
you must first
desire it with
your heart.
The good life
awaits you.
This abysmal
cannot elude,
exclude and eliminate
the very ones
it came to pick.
The innocent ones
are protected by
the greater light.
I am a
protagonist,
the forerunner
of the inner quest.
Don't ever shrivel
by its presence.
Be bold and
unshakable.
It's not meant
to harm you
but to create
harmonium and
protect your interest.

There is just
something excellently
beautiful about you.
I'm so lost
without it.
Each time
i close my eyes
i remember all
those funny little
things you say
and do to me.
It still makes
my feelings want
to burst.
I'm so devastated
without your presence.
I'm here just
because of you,
can't you see
I'm just here
because of you.
I'm so done
without you,
this is the
place of bliss,
a lovely and
radiantly beautiful
place.
Real love is
born here,
a beautiful place
you left me,
i'm so speechless,
it's so stunning,
i can't even
breath or talk
to describe the
moment.
I'm so breathless
my love, help me.
It's been a while
i felt this way
about something
so profoundly
mesmerizing.
I'm so helpless,
can it ever
linger for a
little bit more.
It seems like
i'm floating in
the clouds with
my wings spread out.

I'm logging out
of this smouldering
relationship with
so much drama.
It deflated me
and sap my
soul of energy.
Don't ever encourage
me to wait
for a little bit
or give it time
to work out or change.
You probably won't
meet me well
and alive or maybe
meet me insane.
I don't need
a shrink to
know that I'm fully
zapped out and
need to recuperate,
or a monster
created by this
unfortunate event
will be unleashed and
probably devour me.
Right now there's
a network problem
and the number
you are calling
is no longer available
or maybe switched off.
Now there's a need
for a new SIM card,
but the memory card
is still valid.
Remember that
the number you
are dialling is
not in use and
not recognized by
the service provider.
I'm no longer
available in that network.

In the vast
strange funny world,
guess who i
met with.
The stars and
the clouds,
they were
following me
around everywhere
and anywhere,
as if spying
on me and
at the same
time guiding me.
I am the
imperfect stranger
and i just
wondered how
much i'm loved
by this power
stronger than me.
My vulnerability
they sense from afar.
With my follies,
how come
i'm still standing,
without being
struck down by
their wrath.
I must be
important that
they are indeed
mindful of me.
Peeping through
the shadows
of the trees,
they all listen
to the silence
of my thoughts.
Even the tree
i leaned on
whispers into
my ears the
things i should do.
All warning me
that i have go
because of the
dark hours
coming soon.
When the night
creatures come
out to hunt.
Forbid it i
should become food
for the one
stronger than me.
I sauntered away
towards the safety
of my home.

There are so many
thoughts and things
that baffles my mind,
with so much influx of
head spinning unsolved
questions with no answers
that perplexes me.
Now i know that i am fully
persuaded and convinced
that i know nothing
about anything.
But i am learning.
Most of the times
I know without
understanding it,
and sometimes i
understand without
knowing it and
oftentimes i just don't
get it at all.
To comprehend it all
is difficult for me,
because my
understanding is not yet
sufficient to absorb it.
I must study and
keep learning
until my inside knows.
For sure it is not the
old that are wise or
the aged that understands
what is right nor having
grey hair that bring wisdom,
no it is not at all,
but it is the spirit in a man,
the breath of the Almighty
that makes him understand.

The road within is
deep and a risky one
yet safe to explore,
interesting and motivating,
intriguing and captivating,
yet impressively
invincible as if one is
viewing the oblivious abyss.
There are unsolved issues
that the mind cannot seem
to fathom even though it is
within the obvious.
To comprehend what is
inside the mind you must
be still and alert within.
The road within is deep and
mysterious and uncharted.
It is a road less travelled.
Only very few can access
the depth of this voluminous
profound untapped thoughts
hidden within our minds.
Hence the adage,
Be still and know I am God within.
Sharpen your intellect to discern
what lies within the depths
of the mind.
The subconscious mind wraps
up our consciousness and link it
to the cosmic for the eternal
realities to manifest subtly
and unfold itself to receive the
fairest impression from the universe.

Fear or guilt,I really don't know
which one I'm dealing with,
Fear of what I can or can't do
and guilt of not doing them,
fearing what I want
and wanting what I fear.
Hiding myself from doing
that which I really want.
Hopelessly loosing
control of my passion and vision.
How do I pick myself
up from all this mess.
Strangely enough I see
the harsh realities creeping
slowly towards me.
How did I ever get here?
I don't know what happened,
and how I got myself into this mess.
I'm drowning and sinking
and can't seem to find any help.
Am I ashamed or
afraid to ask for help?
Can I ever be rescued
from this agony?
How did I ever let
myself pine away for so long
to the detriment of my health
to someone who never
really cared about me.
I feel like someone
who went to the airport to
wait for the ship to berth..
But Right now I'm so fully AWAKE!!!
And I really need to take a bath.

Royalty and
princely.
Rivalry and love.
Humility and
humbleness.
Fruitfulness and
productivity.
Beautiful beginnings
and achievements.
Countless glory,
rise and fall.
Fear and
bravery.
Apprehension
and failure.
That's the story
of my greatness.
All manifest itself
in my life.
Today i stand
in that place
where yesterday
when i contemplate
the dark periods,
my eyes could
scarcely see.
Humbled by
long suffering,
with my back bent.
I summoned
the inner strength
to conquer the
insurmountable
harrowing and
painful experiences
which my mouth
could never express,
or even explain,
that infested my life.
It was not
all that rosy.
But today,
I'm still here,
I'm still right
here standing.

I am on
fire burning
for you.
You complete me.
I know you
can feel the
warmth and
the heat
from my soul.
It's all just
for you.
I will never
leave a scar
on your body,
only in your
heart and soul
will you feel
me and know
my essence.
You will never
be able to
stop your breathe,
for the air is
all about me.
You can hold
your breath,
i pulsate in you.
I am the
stillness you feel
when you are alone.
The wine that
intoxicates you
even when you
didn't drink.
The lyrics you
hum and sing
even though it
has no words
to describe how
it makes you feel.
I am the coolness
of the breeze
that touches you
when you take
a walk on the beach.  
I am the
verse in you.
A love to be
desired and
cherished always.
Yours forever.

Now that we stood
at the vortex
of the oblivion,
shall we reconsider
between life and death.
Are we going
to continue with
all this barrage
in the after life.
When we wake up
in the morning sun
of our night,
will there still
be peace or
will doom cover
the whole sky
with children tears.
Or are we
stuck in this
forsaken place
without a helper.
Hiding now  
in the mountains
and caves.
The vortex of
the oblivious beyond
calling out from
between the depths
of the mountains
and the seas,
while the sky,
the moon and
the stars watch.
Inbetween all of
your worries,
even the trees yearns
to be still
but the wind
will not let
the leaves to
be quiet.
Can we truly
keep out the
heat wave plunging
into the soul.
Scary as it
may seem,
entrance to
the great portal
to the vortex
is now open.
And Man will make
himself extinct by
the hands of men.

What will you do
when strength
becomes weakness.
Excellence comes
from doing what
you do best,
but you need
to make sure
you're doing it
at the right times.
The voice of the
one whispering within
are sure to
gently pull you in
with his incredible
tremendous warm
and soothing delivery.
It has a
great impact to
effect your life.
There is heaven
in love if
you believe.
But do you believe.
Be in love
with the fantastic
and the divine
to experience it.
Don't be confused.
What should you
do when you lost.
Still love anyway.

I just want to say that,
even though sometimes you
may have doubted my existence.
I have never once doubted you.
I believe in you,
if only because I've seen what
we can do together, you and me.
Who am I?
I am your conviction.
I am that part of you that knows,
deep down,
what the right thing to do is.
And that you will do whatever
it takes to achieve it.
I am that part of you that makes up
your mind to be greater
than your circumstances.
No matter what anyone says.
I am the light that shines in your eyes
when you make up your mind.
To change your life for the better,
even if you have to reach down
and pull yourself up by your
own bootstraps to do it.
I have faith in you,
I know you are incredibly strong.
You are the light that I follow,
Your dreams are the dreams
I dedicate myself to.
So when you say you want to break
through that invisible "glass ceiling",
smash through all the barriers
that are holding you back.
And find a way to live a powerful,
abundant life, where you will never
have to worry about anything again.
And can focus on doing the greatest
good for the world in your lifetime?
I believe you.
And not only that.
I will give you the tools to do it.

The way to feel
is to close the
eyes and look
deeper with the
eyes of the spirit
into the soul
to feel what is
in the heart.
Painted on the
canvas of the soul
with the imprint
that is so subtle,
are the messages of
the spirit that only
the heart can
fully understand.
Written with love
and lavished with
infinite abundance
of grace and distributed
with kindness are
all that is
required to know.
All the joys
prerequisites
manifest itself in just
a twinkle of a moment.
The heart already
know how to immensely
and joyfully with love
draw our spirit out
to feel and understand
what is not optically
seen or felt with the hands.
The warmth of its
presence is deeply rooted,
and so indelibly blissful
in a magnificent exquisite
way in our spirit.
It is beautifully woven with
multiple amazing and
supernaturally astounding
impressive nature.

With all this
love alive in me,
this love that
blossom and
bubbling within
my heart.
Is it really
what it is,
is it really love.
How can I
feel all this
and not met
or seen anyone
as crazy as me
to share it with,
or isn't someone
out here also
looking and wondering.
Is love dead
or just elusive.
Why is it
so painful.
Is it me
that's the fool
or am i
from a different
sphere and planet.
How can you
not find it
or feel it
in your soul.
Am I really
walking in the dark.
I cry in the
rain and the
darkness so you
must not see me.
The dark consume me
for I am so lost.
Is this love
thing real or
am i living an illusion.
Who can ever
save this lost
soul from the
wilderness.
Right now i
really need proof
for my heart hurts.
Come and save
this soul from
this illusion.
It *****.

Their secret plan was
airtight and sealed,
waterproofed,
no leakages was found.
In line of duty,
the castle opened,
numbers on the wall,
speaks as a code,
to open separate
different doors hiding
secret files with
the names of men
and women with
influence holding
political powers,
timbre and calibre,
men and women trusted,
but ruining the affairs
of the nation,
causing the problems
and uprisings of the
ethnic groups of
indigenous tribes.
They were blinded
by greed but now
marked to be eliminated.
Their demise became
necessary to redirect
the course of national
fate and security.
There is anarchy in
our nation for the
fear and insecurities
caused by the insurgents
are on the increase.
It's a dangerous affair
for the **** is real.
Arrows flying in
the darkness and
everyone is running
around scared.
Perceived in the air,
the stenched smell
of sweat and blood
mixed with smell of
smoke from incarcerated
bodies and houses.
Unexpected turn around
of events could
bring disaster for you.
A little oath is not
the prove of solidarity.
For the betrayer is
within and hidden
amongst us waiting
to give you away.
Death or to be alive,
which one is
the best survival tactics
at this time of
great distress when
there's no help
or hope to survive.
Escape through death
or death through starvation,
both are imminent when
all around you is death.
Just like the one
in a shipwrecked shark
infested ocean with
no help or hope of survival
but just there waiting
to die or be rescued.

A beautiful life
is everything
the heart desires for a
magnificent and
excellent living.
There's no amount of
investment that is better
than a beautiful
investment in oneself.
A glorious lifestyle with
so much love in it is
worth everything.
An inner beauty
that is graced
gracefully with
the divine effulgence
stolen as it were
from the Angles.
Infinite possibilities
awaits anyone
who wants to lead
that kind of lifestyle,
a way of life full of
grace and divine
enablement is for
such a one.
Thank goodness,
this love beckons you.
Life of greatness and
passion is offered.
The road less traveled
made for only a few.
Good and happy feeling
will come your way.
Sadness will fold its mat
and like the heat on the
iced cream melts away.

I have never seen anyone that carried
the sun or moon on their head,
it must remain above you,
or have I seen anyone that carried
the earth on their hand or head,
it must lie beneath your feet,
neither have I seen anyone that caught
the wind with their hands,
Oh no!!!!,it must always be elusive.
Nor have I ever seen anyone
that runs faster than their shadow,
you are both inseparable.
As you talk about life,
so is death waiting
in a world only slightly beyond.
Though a man must die
before the son becomes a man,
I have not seen a man who had
a son before his father,No!!!
Sometimes there are things
unspeakable that can happen to you,
shocked,amazed
and perplexed your spirit,
make you feel hopelessly helpless.
Know there is absolutely nothing
you can do about it because
all of it comes to make up
the textures of your life.
Accept it,change it in order to Heal,
grow and to get on with your life.
You must know that
where pain is inevitable,
hope is our assurance always.
Know It can only get better with time.

Look again beyond
the mountains.
I see you
standing between
the sea and
the sky.
Between the
depths of the
oblivion and
the firmament.
It seems the
sky and
the sea are
the same.
I'm loss for
a moment but
not lost.
The sun shines
through the sky
beautifully as you
shine in beauty
in the world.
What are you
searching for?
You truly definitely
don't know exactly
what it is.
I'm not confused
but just thinking.
After this,
you still look
for another,
you remain
gullibly insatiable.
Are you after luck,
love, and
peace of mind?  
Do not look
for it at
the other end
of the world,
otherwise you will
return disappointed,
bitter and desperate.  
Search on the
other end of
yourself afterwards,
in the depths
of the heart.
Maybe you'll
find it there.

The innocent have
no need for
repentance.
All the good
things must end,
but how about
the bad things,
will they continue.
Have you ever
thought about that.
Both stops after
they end dancing
with you.
They are inseparable,
and like the
two sides of
the moon,
have the dark
and the bright side.
Both are twin flames,
burning and consuming,
at the same time
changing and mending
all things good
and bad.
Interwoven in synergy,
to give it balance.
Life and death
are the same
of the opposites,
complimenting
each other in
their justified actions.
You made my
heart smiled again
for i have
experienced both.
Perfection and
excellence are in
their dual nature.

IN SILENT PRETENCE
Between words,
that stifilled my being,
oceans of my emotions
stole the pieces  
of my soul.  
Feeling the feelings  
for healing is  
the attitude for my being.  
Silent echoes says  
love is the sea of no end.
To carry the words
i heard on my back,
is like the lizard  
that lives in a house  
but it doesn't mean  
it's the owner of the house.
Even as the snail drags
its shell along,
even so the tortoise
walks around with its shell.
As the snake sheds  
its scale in due season,
even so the heart
vehemently rejects and
expunge  every pressure
of words messing with it.  
Even as the chameleons
changes its colour
to suit itself,
so the unstable mind
changes because it is fickle.
Though in silent pretence
the heart remembers,
but like the elephant
it never forgets the hurts
only the heart can feel.
Like that child who  
in a hurry cuts  
the underground yam  
while standing,
must sit down patiently  
to uproot it.

Within your struggles
and your breathe,
inside your smile
and your heart.

That which you seek
is also seeking
expression through you.

That which unfolds
before your very face,
is the exact replica
of that which
inhabits you.

The light of the sun
within must reflect
through your being.

For your life
reveals your secret
intent within you.

Without shame or
your ego rising
with pride,
confront yourself with
the light of truth
without doubt.

For the very thing
you fear already
lives in you.

Liberate yourself
from its shackles.

This light of knowing,
from the knowledge
of this truth
will drive the
darkness away as
the luminous presence
of its morning dawns.

In the end,
you are the one
who decides.

The bird wants to hatch
the all entire eggs in the nest,
but through the stay in one
place the entire season,
unknown forces sets in.
Only in one egg emerged the
wimpy wholly baby bird.
How can that be since the only heir
to the nest is not promising.
Longevity is farfetched,
but the mother bird really doesn't care.
Determined she became empowered to produce an heir,
she vows to nurture her baby back to life.
Love played a role in the baby's survival.
What will you do to reclaim your own
life in a situation like that.
Can you tell yourself to hold on to that
treasure a little longer.
Don't discard the truth even if it's so bitter. However uncomfortable it is,
remember about this one thing,
life is very precious and cannot be replaced.
Put value in everything you do no matter how small and insignificant it is.
In reaching out to the uncommon,
you earn and win the greatest asset there is.
There is no man who doesn't need an heir.
A King does not sit on the throne and leave it empty without a form of replacement.
It is forbidden by nature to make any place desolate.
It must be inhabited and populated by the people or forest.
Only nature on its own can destruct a place and make it inhabitable.
But to warn ahead of time it must before it strikes.
It may not be sudden but to give time it must.
Do not play into the hand not sublime and divine in nature.
For the divine arrangement must take preeminent.

Don't bring
up yesterday,
it is dead.
It died when i
left it's presence.
I live right
here in this
present moment.
Deal with me
as i come
to you as
our morning.
Care for me
as you feel
the urge at
this present time.
This is who
i am now,
it is what i am,
i offer it
at the alter
of your heart
as it is
at this moment.
I am not
in my past,
it doesn't
exist anymore,
i do not
live there.
I moved on.
I've metamorphosed
into a
different being.
The past does
not return,
the rest of
my life will not.
I'm no longer
available in
that network.
I refuse to
be the sinner
you want
me to be.
You have a
choice to either
delete it or
live with the
burden of the
garbage of the past.
It is your choice.

I hide in the
subtlness of nature.
I laid down
in the bliss
of his love.
In there i
found peace
and healing.
Within his *****
he wrapped me
in his warmth.
With love he
nurtured me
as his child.
His breathe is
the life i feel.
Endowed with strength
to subdue any
threat of the advassary.
Pestilence and plaques
everywhere i conquer.
All perilous ill
avoid me
for i became
their nightmare.
Invincible he
made me to be
whatever i want.
My weakness became
my strength.
My failures are
now my assets.
Everything i thought
i lost are nothing
but my gain
on the roundabout.
