Canvas
Gods1son Nov 2018
My mind is a canvas
On which my thoughts are constantly painting on

The ugly images, I quickly erase
The pretty ones, I try my best to save

Some paintings are like bad memories,
They take time to fade

But the very beautiful paintings,
I always try to replicate!

Player
Gods1son Nov 2018
He has beautiful blue eyes
But they conceal multitude of lies
Don't be carried away by his pink lips
'cause it's like boarding a drowning ship

He has a sweet mouth
And he does speaks deep
But if you fall for that,
It leads into a ditch

He has enticing shoulders
But you are better off been hit by a boulder
Don't even talk about his abs
It would eventually rip your heart in halves

His physique is amazing
But it would leave your heart aching
If you go by what you see
You will end up getting lost on the sea!

Race
Gods1son Jan 2019
The only race that matters
Is when on the track (exercise, fun)
Humans are one
No to racism!

Down
Gods1son Jun 2019
It's been a few years since you were gone
Your drinking habit those years,
I couldn't fathom
You downed every bottle and glass
that came your way until
you were down six feet in the ground
Anytime I think of you, I feel down
I wish I knew better at the time
Maybe I could have helped
It's heart-wrenching to remember that
alcohol took you away from us.

The enemy
Gods1son Jan 2019
This is not a call to lower your defenses
But to know who the real enemy is
Fighting a fellow being is like beating the air
A mere waste of resources

The real enemy is not clothed in flesh
Nor powered by blood
So, before you find an enemy in another being
Remember, the enemy is not that which is seen.
212 · Feb 2019
(No) Promises
Gods1son Feb 2019
I can't make no promises
Not to make you cry
But I will definitely choose what kind
Like that cry when I get you laughing hard
Or like when I buy you your favorite car
One thing I can promise you for sure
If I ever make you cry
It would be tears of joy
212 · May 2019
Absolute love
Gods1son May 2019
Absolute love is giving your very best
Like He who gave His only begotten Son
Not as a ransom for the sins of some
But He totally paid all of humanity's debt
Absolute love is not shaped like a heart,
Its shape is that of the cross.
212 · Oct 2018
Authentic love
Gods1son Oct 2018
The authenticity of the sentence
"I love you"
Is not in the words said only
But more of the other things not vocalized!
I don't know what to write, I just think this is true!
212 · Mar 2019
Song on loop
Gods1son Mar 2019
Have you ever had to linger a bit
To hear your favorite line from a song
While being played on the radio
Later to have that line stuck in your head all day
You try hard to forget it but it wouldn't fade
Just like the memory of someone you love even after you've parted ways.
212 · Feb 2019
Me & You
Gods1son Feb 2019
Let us lock the world outside
Including the past and the future
Just you in my arms
As we bask in the beauty of the Now
211 · Oct 2018
Stir it up
Gods1son Oct 2018
Everyone has love in their heart
For some... Love has settled down
in the V-shaped part of the heart
Just as you would shake a bottle of juice before serving
The same way, you would have to stir the heart up very often
To have an homogenous mix of love for the day!
210 · May 2019
Limited thinking
Gods1son May 2019
Of all the forms of limitations,
the most restraining is that
which originates from the mind

A limited mind is figuratively blind
It wouldn't see even when opportunities
and the required resources
are before such eyes

A limitation thinking mind will
only zoom in on the challenges
No matter how tiny it may look

It explains the saying...
Where there's a will, there's a way
A limitation thinking mind only sees
the obstacles in every path

Dancing
Gods1son May 2019
Dim lighting
Blues playing
Bodies swaying
Lips smiling
Atmosphere's relaxing
Lips interlocking
Skins are warm
Clothes coming off...

His place
Gods1son Apr 2019
No gold nor silver nor any precious stone
is beautiful enough to build a house to
house His Spirit
He's found the quarters of my being His domicile
His Spirit intermingled with mine
An inseparable union established by His own will
His love showered on me generously
Chosen and sustained by His grace!
208 · Dec 2018
Sun
Gods1son Dec 2018
Sun
Some people are like the Sun
From afar, they are light emitting
But when you move close enough,
Their attitude is burning and damaging!

Way of life
Gods1son Nov 2019
At the wake of each day,
I say, today will be the
best day of my life
It's said that, whatever vibe
you release to the universe,
will come back to manifest

Plus I invest my best into the day
So I can boldly say I played my part
And when I lay in bed to sleep at night,
No matter what the day looked like,
I express my gratitude to be back alive
That's my adopted way of life.
206 · Feb 2019
You
Gods1son Feb 2019
You
The most unique thing about you is YOU
No one is got your story
Bask in your glory
No one can be you better than you
And that is true
Embrace you
Define you by your own standards
Be the best version of you
And don't measure you with another
How you see you is what you'll be
What you say of you becomes your truth
So, be you fully!
206 · Jan 2019
Poetry
Gods1son Jan 2019
Emotions running loose
And getting trapped by
A fence made from papers
With pillars of pen,
Which in turn paints the fence
With emotional arts.
205 · Mar 2019
Two statements
Gods1son Mar 2019
Two statements that seem similar
But they induce opposite feelings
The first is, I am not good enough
And the second; I am not there, yet

The first one clips your wings down
stopping you from flapping and flying
It is demotivating and depressing
Do not use or believe it when used on you

The latter reminds you where you're headed
Like a kid that falls several times
before being able to walk smoothly
You will be there and even go beyond
So, crawl, walk, run and soar!
205 · Nov 2018
Togetherness
Gods1son Nov 2018
There is strength in our togetherness
There is peace in our oneness
Especially when we respect each person's uniqueness

There is power in our unity that
We can harness
To bring about individual and unified progress
And ultimately our overall success

But instead, we judge one another to condemnation
We operate on islands of isolation
We practice segregation
Lack of love is our biggest limitation!
205 · Sep 2019
Overnight success
Gods1son Sep 2019
Success can happen overnight
But prior to that are
many days and nights of hardwork,
shedding blood, sweat and tears.

Journey
Gods1son Oct 2018
Journeying through life...
Some phases are filled with green leaves
Some seem like dry land
I will focus on my strength
Turn the green leaves to a fruitful field.
203 · Oct 2018
Grateful
Gods1son Oct 2018
Sometimes, we overlook the daily blessings we receive
'cause we didn't have any major accomplishment
But...
Someone's car broke down today
Someone lost a lot of money today
Someone landed in the hospital today
Someone lost a family member today
Someone landed in jail today
Someone got diagnosed of an ailment today
Someone got more than one of those today
I'm grateful for today!

My Girl
Gods1son Sep 2018
Hey Girl,
I bet you're a Musician
The sound of your voice strums my ribs
Like the guitar strings
Makes my heart beat
Like the drumsticks

When my phone rings
I can't explain the joy it brings
When you promised to show
I couldn't stop looking through the window

A glimpse of you from afar
Makes my heart skip a beat
That is to say the least
Of how it really feels!
202 · Sep 2018
Taught me to love
Gods1son Sep 2018
You taught me...
To love my neighbour
They would get on my nerves, I shouldn't harbour
They would want to play me for a fool
They would try to use me like a tool

I should make love my fundamental principle
Guard my heart, people would try to poke a hole
No matter what it is, love will make me whole
Let love fill my heart like a receptacle

You said it's important to be wise
Because I care doesn't mean they would be nice
Live in love and do not compromise
If not, I will pay the price!
Learn to show love no matter what, love always pay!

Reach for the stars
Gods1son Feb 2019
You might have to take the stairs to the sky
To pluck the star(s) you desire
Instead of waiting for it to fall,
Head up and you can pick and choose.
201 · Aug 2019
A refreshment
Gods1son Aug 2019
It's okay to feel confused
It's not so bad to feel out of moves
Those points in life often birth epiphany,
a brightened vision,
And initiates the start of a new
and purposeful journey.
201 · Aug 2019
Discovery
Gods1son Aug 2019
Self-discovery is the second
best discovery,
first being God-discovery.
When you discover God, it's much easier to discover self. When you discover those two, life becomes very meaningful and purposeful.
200 · Aug 2019
Opinions
Gods1son Aug 2019
Opinions are the cheapest
Almost anyone can afford
to give some away
Out of the many that
gets thrown at you,
Maybe a few would be valuable
Take them all, then
Sort out the recyclables
from the garbages
Let the irrelevant end in the landfill
When you find opinions of value,
Ensure to refine it.
200 · Feb 2019
Trust
Gods1son Feb 2019
It hurts
When the one(s) you deeply trust
****** a spear in your heart
Leaving your tears gushing
Like a broken pipe
Your trust leaking through
Makes everyone look fugazi (phony)
Difficult to tell who is true
But
Ruling everyone untrustworthy
would also be untrue
Right?
199 · Apr 2019
HP writers
Gods1son Apr 2019
This is to all HP writers
Writing lines out of this world like a rocket
Words full of power like a socket
You guys are on another level like an elevator
Some of your words definitely flew over my head like an aircraft
But a lot of writings on here did blow my mind like a kite in the air
Thank you for your works that you've shared
And to those who have felt or feeling unheard,
This is my plea to you not to relent
I guarantee you that at least one person was touched
And if not, they will be in the nearest future
199 · Oct 2018
Blessings
Gods1son Oct 2018
Peace in the midst of the storm
In You only, I get this from
Strength to surmount the mountain
You make it flow from within me like a fountain
Wisdom for discernment
You have given me without measurement
Love to deal with myself and all
You lavished me, I didn't have to shop for it in a mall
I get asked about this beauty
Easily, I tell everyone You gave me freely
You're faithful in every season
Thank You for all your blessings!
199 · Oct 2018
A smile so warm
Gods1son Oct 2018
A smile so warm, it would turn a winter night to a summer
A smile so warm, you lose your words and start to stutter
A smile so warm, you lose your insecurities and act like a toddler
A smile so warm, your stomach's butterflies start to flutter
A smile so warm, makes the rest of the day brighter!
198 · Jan 2019
Social media
Gods1son Jan 2019
Tweet your dreams and plans
And it could get poked like a Facebook user
Share your personal strategies on Instagram
And better hope it lasts longer than a Snapchat's story
What I'm saying in essence is,
Keep your personal life off social media!
197 · Feb 2019
Why is it...
Gods1son Feb 2019
Easier said than done
Easier to forget rights than wrongs
Easier to recieve than give
Easier to doubt than believe

Easier to give up than stand tall
Easier to despise than show love
Easier to imitate than be true to self
Easier to complain than be grateful
197 · Aug 2018
My Hero
Gods1son Aug 2018
I can see my hero rise
Reaching for the stars
Not with my two eyes
But I can see with my heart

I have a villain in my head
Who is debating my heart
Says I can't achieve the height
You have no wings to fly

I'm left to cast a vote
Sure, I can't choose both
Mr villain, I'm not sorry to revolt
Cos my heart is who I choose

I've got to set my goals
Ready to pay the price
I will watch me grow
Till I reach the height!

Banish the fakes
Gods1son Dec 2019
In every 12, they say you'll find a Judas
That's why my circle has a small radius
Even the loyal ones can still break your trust
Read the Bible, 3 times Peter denied Jesus

Lots of faux well-wishers, enemies in disguise
They smile to your face but bitter inside,
Rejoice with you but wish for your demise
You don't want to be around these guys

Before you banish the fakes from your circle
Ensure you're not a *** yelling black kettle
You have to be your brother's keeper
Offering true loyalty to one another.
197 · Jan 2019
Get high
Gods1son Jan 2019
The heights that I envision,
No drug or ***** could ever get me that high
But when I put in serious work
And get on my knees
Then, He helps me dot my i(s)
And cross my t(s)
By opening my eyes to see
See insightfully
Yielding amazing results
Which are seen physically!
197 · Mar 2019
Love won but...
Gods1son Mar 2019
She was a kind woman
He was the exact opposite
An angel in a human flesh, she was
But he was a wolf in a sheep's skin
She would go out of her way to help people
But he always took advantage of people
She never tried to change him
She just loved him unconditionally
Her nature was a mirror to his cruelty
He couldn't help but cherish her modesty
One night, he was bathed in tears
After realizing what **** of a person he was
That moment was the genesis of his redemption
He became a changed man
And the love between them blossomed even more
Couple months later...
The angel of his life perished in a car crash
The same week, he departed from the land of the living as well
Love won but death wasn't nice to them
196 · Mar 2022
Transparency
Gods1son Mar 2022
What is transparency?
Is it revealing what you want them to see
Or baring your soul for someone to see
But how could you share what you're dealing with within, when you know they'll end up using it against you or call you weak
So, you leave it trapped in, even though it's eating you deep
You wish to throw the lid away and let it bubble out, but who can you trust it with
Especially since you tried before and it came back to bite you
So, you resort to wearing a big bright smile as mask.
196 · Feb 2019
Beauty
Gods1son Feb 2019
Show me your beauty
Not just the glowing skin
Not just the hourglass figure
Not just the flat abs
I admit all of those are attractive
But
Take me on a tour in your mind and heart
Would I find flowers or thorns?
Does it also glow on the inside?
Would I start seeking for an escape
Or would I find it a place to be?
195 · Sep 2019
Principles
Gods1son Sep 2019
I'm super rich in love
But I can't afford to hate
I keep my mind open
Yet I protect its peace
I welcome challenges,
'cause I'm aware of its
underlying opportunities
What you see is not all there is,
I've embedded this into my principles
My kindness is sometimes
mistaken for foolishness (no regrets)
I've found gratefulness to be
a boost for happiness
I love the easy life and I'm content,
But I repel slothfulness
God is my foundation,
The solid rock on which I stand
God is my support,
I keep Him always in my thoughts
I believe my destiny lies in my hands
Hence I keep my hands clean
Life is beautiful,
Your perception can change the reality.
195 · Aug 2019
Purpose
Gods1son Aug 2019
Why was I sent on this earth? 
What do I want in this life? 
The pursuit of purpose along 
the trail of destiny
The true meaning of living, 
surpassing just mere existence
A life that doesn't feel void or empty
The utmost reward is a feeling of fulfillment.
195 · Jan 2019
Gem
Gods1son Jan 2019
Gem
Many walked past
And all they saw was mud
He almost did the same
But for a moment, he paused
Looked right into the mud
A rare gemstone he found!
195 · May 2019
Good
Gods1son May 2019
Good people still exist out there
As a matter of fact
Goodness is inherent in (almost) everybody
Never underestimate what people have been through or still facing currently

Our breaking limits are quite different
Our tolerance, resilience, perseverance levels are not the same likewise
In addition, we are not equally wise

Give people a benefit of the doubt
It costs nothing to be nice
He without sin, cast the first stone
Make the effort to see good in everyone

Hatred cannot overpower love
Just as darkness will always bow before light
Be a conduit of love today
Choose to only see good in people and things today
193 · Nov 2018
Letting go
Gods1son Nov 2018
I had to allow some things go away
For better things to come my way
I (almost) cried for some things that I had to give
But the pain is nothing compared to what I received
Letting go creates room for more to come
Giving is like a seed planted
that becomes fruits to be harvested
It's only in the dictionary where
Reward comes before sacrifice!
193 · Dec 2018
PLEASE
Gods1son Dec 2018
Think about the word PLEASE
If you cut out trying to get
̶P̶ ̶-̶ ̶P̶e̶o̶p̶l̶e̶'̶s̶
̶L̶ ̶-̶ ̶l̶o̶v̶e̶ ̶o̶r̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶n̶e̶s̶s̶
E
A
S
E

What you are left with is EASE
The peace of mind to be You
To discover You
To experience You
The freedom to be true to You.

Night sleep
Gods1son Nov 2018
And she said...

My best speaker is your chest
Playing my favorite sound...
The rhythmic beat of your heart
While I am heated by the best heater...
The warmth from your skin

Oh, my sweetest sleep!
191 · May 2019
Brighter day
Gods1son May 2019
Let the smile on your face
birth a smile on another's
Together let's make today brighter
We can make one another's issues feel lighter
Be a conduit of happiness today!

Be-you-to-(d)-full
Gods1son Jan 2019
How do you deal with people?
If you are open,
They play you like a golf or tennis tournament
(open golf or tennis tournament)

If you choose to live in your bubble
They use their words on you
Like it's a balloon pop game

At the end of the day,
What matters most is to
Be-you-to-(d)-full
