Take off
Gods1son Nov 2018
Take flight
Spread those wings
There's nothing stopping you
The extra weight is just an illusion
Up there
Is where you belong
Spread those wings
The sky is wide enough
There is room for you
Do it now!
88 · Jun 2019
Thankful
Gods1son Jun 2019
There's always something to be grateful for
Even if it looks like you've hit rock bottom
Or all that you've done so far has flopped
No matter how extreme it may seem

So far your heart still contracts and relaxes
And your body still inhales and exhales
Then there is still a way or multiple ways
Then you can still excel, very much prevail

If you would give praise
Yes! in that very state
Miracles will abound
It will encompass you all around
If only you'll give praise!

Era of Love
Gods1son Nov 2018
Can we allow love to reign?
Let us put her on the throne
Let her rule
We will not try to manipulate her
But we shall obey her dictates

She will teach us to forgive our mistakes
To see a person for who they truly are
In her era, evil and hate will be overthrown
The heavens will shower us with blessings like rain!
87 · Mar 2020
Pissed off
Gods1son Mar 2020
Why do you bottle up anger and keep
within like it's a priceless treasure
Enclosed anger weighs down the soul
Speak out and set your mind free
Forgive and keep your soul at peace.
87 · Oct 2018
Together
Gods1son Oct 2018
We are all in this together
'cause we share the same building we call Earth
Even though we live on different floors we call Continent
Or have different rooms we call Country
Together, we should all take care of this building and the occupants!
87 · Jan 2019
Warm me
Gods1son Jan 2019
It's a cold day
No hot coffee
No tea
Your thoughts warm my heart
And every part of my being
87 · Nov 2019
Limitless
Gods1son Nov 2019
This feeling that I'm loved by God
continues to be my strength,
The reason I believe I can reach
my desired length.
No matter how steep the *****
Regardless how rough the road
His abilities in me makes me able
Though my faith sometimes tremble,
His faithfulness stays perpetually stable
May I not take His love for granted
Because that's my recipe for success
God in/with me, a duo that's limitless.

My Seasons
Gods1son Sep 2018
Before you came into my life
I was colder than the winter season
When you became a part of my life
I began to blossom and flourish like the spring season
I never believed that in this life
I could be this warm like the summer season
Where are all the nasty attitudes?
They fell off me like leaves in the fall season
87 · Feb 2020
Tick tock
Gods1son Feb 2020
I was staring at my clock
As it was doing its tick tock
I was watching it do its job
And I started questioning
myself if I am doing mine.
Am I really doing my work?
Not the job I'm being paid for
But the work that I was made for.
I began to introspect, to see if
my job and my life's work intersect.
Have I given attention to everything else
And leave my purpose on the shelf?
This inanimate clock spoke to me
It said, you have all that you need
to be who you were formed to be,
It's all on the inside of you.
You just have to set your priorities
right and that is in your hands.
87 · Mar 2019
Your love
Gods1son Mar 2019
I wear Your love like a garment
Beauty upon my flesh
A crown placed upon my head
A pair of shoes to my feet
Decorated from my head to my sole

Your love is protection to my being
The light that shines along my path
A lamp to my feet
My comfort in time of need
Your love is everything to me!
God's love for me!
87 · May 2019
Breathe
Gods1son May 2019
Inhale
.
Hold it
..
Hold it
...
Hold it
...
Say it out loud...
Everything works together for my good
I choose to not panic
I won't let go of my peace
...
Let your lips curl into a smile
86 · Oct 2018
Pause and think again!
Gods1son Oct 2018
Before taking that action or step
Pause and think again!

Before saying that word
Before sending that text
Before making that call
Before making that purchase
Before reacting to whatever it is
Before making that move
Pause and think again!

What are the pros? What are the cons?
Am I hurting myself, anyone or the environment?
Would it be better done at a later time?
Can it be done in a better way?
Pause and think again!
Impulsive decisions are not always the best. 30 seconds pause could bring more clarity!
86 · Sep 2019
Still
Gods1son Sep 2019
Memories put aside
Thoughts of the future left unattended to
Immersed in the completeness of the now
Unwrapping the beautiful present
Life is a gift, It's a blessing to be alive
As I listen to my heartbeats
I hear the rhythm of life
My racing mind calms
on hearing the tune of peace
Spirit, soul and body aligns
A pristine state, free of worries
No aches, no pains
No losses, no gains
Just a state of pure be-ing.
86 · Sep 2018
Relationship
Gods1son Sep 2018
In a relationship...
If you tolerate
More than you appreciate
The strength of the relationship
Will depreciate.
86 · Feb 2019
Rage
Gods1son Feb 2019
Life's storms would rage
Some situations would roar
But those who put their trust in the Lord
They shall not fail

They might go through some pains
Like challenges and tribulations
But before them, a way would pave
And their mouths will exude songs of jubilation
86 · Jun 2019
Sow to reap
Gods1son Jun 2019
You get what you give
Take a moment to ruminate on it
Digest it and let it sink
Whatever you dish out,
You get in return, multiplied

Put more thoughts
into your actions
The words you speak,
The energy you emit,
Your body language

We are constantly sowing seeds
Good or bad, intentional or not
And seeds produce fruits
of their very own kind
Sow whatever you wanna reap today
86 · Mar 2019
Dominos
Gods1son Mar 2019
One time,
I almost wrote that
If one of us falls,
We all fall
Very much like dominos

But I rearranged my thoughts
If one of us fall,
We ought to provide support
Protect one another's back
At least, help them fall forward
85 · Sep 2018
Your heart
Gods1son Sep 2018
I promise you...
Your heart is not broken
The core of your heart is...
Pure, solid and unshaken!
You got it scratched on the surface
And, It would heal with time!
85 · Oct 2018
Is there God?
Gods1son Oct 2018
I can't question the validity of the question
Is there really God?
I know to some, that question sounds odd
There is someone out there who just wants to know for sure

Does God Almighty exist?
Or it's just another myth
They said He created heaven and earth, the moon, the stars and the sun

These questions burn in someone's heart
What does He look like?
How do I reach him?
Can I talk to him? Would He reply?
Does He really love us?

Of course, He loves us dearly.
Of course, He listens and talks to us clearly
He sent His Son to die for us freely
It takes faith to be His and know His ways
Jesus is the gateway to Him
His gate is always open to all!
85 · Oct 2019
No folding!
Gods1son Oct 2019
This light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
Tough times breed strong minds
Broken pencils still draw straight lines
Spilled paints can still make fine art
Hot fire makes for purer gold
Hustling hard but never selling my soul
Validation not required, I follow my heart
Unclear path coupled with a rough start
But no turning back
Pushing through till it's all figured out
This light of mine was designed to shine
No compromise
Only patience and perseverance till it's all right!
85 · Sep 2018
End of day
Gods1son Sep 2018
That time of the day
When you have to call it a day!
That feeling after a long stressful day!
84 · Feb 2020
Multiple sides
Gods1son Feb 2020
Even when our opinions clash,
let us both leave more sharpened.
An object could look different when
viewed from different angles.
Different perspectives allow for a
clearer and better understanding
You could be right from a partial view
But the full picture holds more truth
An open mind is positioned for growth
There is always more room to grow.
They say there is usually two sides to a story. Your perspective might be right but have you seen the full picture?
84 · Apr 2019
My Body
Gods1son Apr 2019
Judge me not because of my body
It's just an earthen vessel
I don't have to conform
to your standards
I choose to not tuck my tummy
It doesn't make me less human

You think I'm less attractive
I say, not all that glitters is gold
I'm aware of the virtues this body holds
My happiness is from inside out
You can't talk me down just
so that I buy your products
I love me just the way I am
My standards, I am!
84 · Sep 2018
On a Mission
Gods1son Sep 2018
Everyone is an inherent Victor
But not everyone knows their mission
So, a lot make wrong decisions!
If you know your purpose, it becomes easier to reach
84 · Feb 2019
Untitled
Gods1son Feb 2019
I thought you'll be the stars
To make my night sky glow
Little did I know
You would reinjure my healed scars
84 · Dec 2018
Words
Gods1son Dec 2018
Isn't it amazing, how words can touch as if words has a flesh

Isn't it bright, how words can illuminate a dark time like a torch
83 · Sep 2018
Your happiness
Gods1son Sep 2018
If you are not happy with your own life
You can't be happy for others!
83 · Mar 2019
Open mind
Gods1son Mar 2019
Don't cage me in your expectations
of who you think I should be
I am truly me
Do away with the preconceived notions
of who you think I am
Don't try to check me against your checklist
Come to me with an open mind and heart
And experience me firsthand
82 · Mar 2020
Paint
Gods1son Mar 2020
We might not be able to choose
how or when we die
But we can choose how we live
Other people's lives are like canvases,
We make our mark on them like a dye
You could either paint beauty on them
or you could be a stain
Living is more than heaping monetary gains
Some rich people die with regrets and pains
So, what impacts do you want to make?
When you're gone, what will people say?
Between birth and death is the time to
make our mark.
82 · Nov 2019
Love bonds
Gods1son Nov 2019
Love is the best investment,
Not the love of material things
that could vanish into the thin air
like evaporation.
But the love of things that possess life
Like self, family, friends, the environment.
The dividends of investing in love gets
paid out in: peace of mind, forgiveness,
happiness, contentment, health,
togetherness... amongst other
numerous beautiful benefits.
82 · Feb 2019
Not know
Gods1son Feb 2019
Sometimes it is more peaceful
choosing to not know
Like choosing to not poke into
your spouse's phone

It's safer to not ask some questions
Or to not even bother about the answer
Like why didn't God lock Satan up
in heaven or hell instead of sending
him to the Earth?
82 · Jan 2020
Sleep
Gods1son Jan 2020
Hey sleep, why have you become weak of late
You used to knock me out for like eight hours
Why do I have to beg you now to take me out
And even after you do, a few hours later,
you let your hands off me
Sometimes, waking up late can be sweet
Even though it leads to a rushy morning
But I'll prefer that to a lack of sleep
Sleep! Sleep!! You have to get stronger
Or maybe I'm the one who needs to cast
my worries away and allow sleep have its way
I don't know, maybe I do, maybe I don't.
81 · Dec 2019
Empty-handed
Gods1son Dec 2019
We came into this world empty-handed
And that's the same way we'll leave
So, what's the need for all the greed!
We have but a short time here to live
compared to the rest of eternity
Why are we so engrossed in these physical things
Forgetting or neglecting that we are spiritual beings

We perpetrate evil for our wants—excessive money, power or fame
At the expense of our peace of mind, which is a need
Who gives up what he needs for what he wants!
Well, there's many like that in the world today
Go after things that are of eternal values
Because life here is just a tiny fraction
of what comes after.
81 · Oct 2018
Time
Gods1son Oct 2018
Sometimes, the difference between
True and false,
Yes and No,
Good and bad,
Truth and lie...
                             Is just TIME!
Time reveals a lot if given a chance!
81 · Sep 2018
Sex
Gods1son Sep 2018
***
*** is way more than the physical activity
It is the intermingling of souls
Choose who you mix yours with!
81 · Sep 2018
Giving
Gods1son Sep 2018
Do you realize that...
We are constantly giving
Every second of the day
We release energy
Positive or negative energy
Consciously and unconsciously

This energy controls our environment
Holding the door for the next person
A simple gentle smile
Oh, thank you very much

The thoughts in our head
The words we speak
The look on our face
Constitutes the energy we're giving

Time to pay attention
To what you are giving!
We often fail to realize that our actions not only impact us but those around us! We all can make the world a better place
81 · Jan 2020
Beyond the decision...
Gods1son Jan 2020
Decision making is a phase that marks
the start of a new journey or
the continuance of an old one.

But a decision by itself is insufficient to
produce results except accompanied by the right actions.

Too many fail to go beyond the decision phase or they give up after facing a few obstacles.
You shouldn't be one of  those!
80 · May 2019
Gun violence
Gods1son May 2019
Gun in the pocket
A false feeling of power
Seeking an opportunity
to pull the trigger

Lots of living bodies turned still
From that useless piece of steel

In the name of protection
There's increase in morgue's population
Destinies aborted prematurely
Others ending in penitentiary

Lots of parents have been broken within
Having to bury their own children
Gunned down on the street
by their peers or even cops

This gun violence sh*t has to stop!
79 · Jan 2020
Hero
Gods1son Jan 2020
The ability to stay motivated after
a number of failed attempts and
in the end, produce results is what
you call heroism.
79 · Feb 2020
Choice
Gods1son Feb 2020
The power of choice
What a gift and a blessing
And sometimes, a curse.
79 · Sep 2018
The Now
Gods1son Sep 2018
The only thing we truly have is now
You remember the past
And plan for the future
Because you have the now.
So, be grateful for the now!
We mostly do not value NOW which is the only thing we really possess. I guess the NOW would also mean the LIFE
79 · Jan 2020
Gentleman's way
Gods1son Jan 2020
I could pick the lock to your heart
But that's not what a gentleman would do
Instead I will show you a love that is true
I'll show you who I am truly, turn my heart and mind into see-through, just for you
And I'll leave the opening of your heart up to you to do.
78 · Apr 2019
Worthy branches
Gods1son Apr 2019
On that cross,
His sweat and blood were dripping
If I was in His shoes, I would be cursing
But He did the opposite, He was praying
"Father, forgive them for they know not what they are doing"

The Son of God became sin
He died, sin died and was done with forever
The story didn't end with His death
3 days later, He was raised by the Father
And He ushered us into life eternal

We became heirs of the promises
Worthy branches of His Vine
Called to a life full of bliss
Glory to the risen King!
78 · Mar 2019
Lost thoughts
Gods1son Mar 2019
I just had a poetic line in my mind
Where did it go
It was so beautiful
Clearly, it was volatile too
When you come back
Please don't return alone
You ever had a line in your mind and it disappeared before you could even write it down?
78 · Mar 2019
Take a walk
Gods1son Mar 2019
We could leave the car at home
And take a stroll down the trail
Hold hands
Throw stones in the lake
Watch the water splash
Watch the ripples form and fade away
Sit under a tree
Play the riddle game
If you get the answer right,
I'll kiss you on the lips
If you get it wrong, guess what
I'll still kiss you on the lips
Get dressed
The butterflies are waiting there for us
76 · Jan 2020
Parallel lines
Gods1son Jan 2020
For better, for worse
doesn't apply if he beats you up
Please pack your stuff and be gone.
If the same arms that keep you warm
also causes you harm, my sister, RUN.
Love and abuse are parallel lines,
they never meet.
Maybe he'll change, maybe he'll not
I'll say, please do not wait to find out
You can't tell when it will be too late. Go!
76 · Sep 2018
Trust me!
Gods1son Sep 2018
Have you ever asked questions like...

Do you think I have demons in me?
Trust me, NO you don't!
Do you think I'm losing my mind?
Trust me, NO you aren't!
Do you think I can quit trying?
Trust me, NO you can't!
Do you think this pressure will overwhelm me?
Trust me, NO it won't!

Do you think I will make it through this?
Trust me, YES you will!
Do you think I can make it far in this life?
Trust me, YES you can!
Do you think I'm good enough?
Trust me, YES you are!
Do you think I have the strength?
Trust me, YES you do!
76 · Sep 2018
Smile
Gods1son Sep 2018
The smile you see is just a curtain!
There are many things within that is covered behind the smile. It takes someone who cares to find out.
75 · Dec 2018
Mindset
Gods1son Dec 2018
My mental state, I had to recalibrate
Now, It is boldly tattooed...
I was born to be great

The thoughts of being under,
I had to push under
I figured how to deal with my fears
I use it by burning it as a fuel

Sometimes, I have these worries
That are somewhat hard to burry
But I remind myself of the future's glory
And how all of these will someday be a story

I'm in no competition with nobody
I'm running my own race
Going at my own pace
And in my own lane

Challenges will sure come
And in different forms
From mild to severe storms
They aren't for me to suffer
But to ride on like a surfer

I will have to reach high for my goals
Go above it like a pole vault
In me, resides the courage to achieve my desires
And the enthusiasm to fulfil my dreams

Above all, Love is the master key
It opens the door to eternal peace
The major ingredient for a life of ease
A secret to a life full of bliss!
75 · Oct 2018
Note to self
Gods1son Oct 2018
You have greatness on the inside
You can be what you wanna be
You can storm any weather

Things might not always "look" good
But it would work out for the better
Stay calm and say your prayers

Be wise, open your mind
So that you don't get cheated
Be fair to all, regardless how you're treated

Above all, submit to love and let it dominate
Never associate with hate
Remember, you were born to be great!
I like to remind myself always
