dear cupid,
did I ignore you when you wanted to play?
starved you and sent you own your way?
perhaps, I broke you heart...
or rejected your love?
perhaps I never noticed you floating above...

maybe I didn't play with you when we were young?
maybe you think I'm too rigid?
Incapable of fun.
Whatever it is,
Deep down I am Sorry,
but cupid you must understand,
*I need somebody

Forgiven,renewed.

Forgiven,renewed.

While sin enslaves,
Jesus Christ saves,
Why carry around the burdain,
When Christ is willing to carry it for you,for your own gain?
Look,we all fall short of His glory,
We cease to become holy,
But His redemption is always available,
Getting over sins guilt is hard,but its do-able,
Wipe clean your conscience with Christs love,
Not that you'll be as innocent as a dove,
But that your soul will be at peace.
God is a great and forgiving God,He's the reason for this piece.
Jesus Christ saves.

Jesus Christ loves us all no matter what,if He died before we even knew of Him,why doubt His love,He loves,forgives,redeems.Its never too late to love Him again.

Technology

Like industrialisation
May seem
Like
Progress,
But
In reality
It's
A mess!
It's
A vacant creation
VACUOUS!
It' s
Against NATURE !
Against
Purity
And
Truth.
It's
Nothing to do with
Old age or Youth,
Biology
And
ALL
The
Ologies...
Academics
Scientists
Historians
Politicians
Theologians...
Do Not Call The Shots!
Remember
This
My
Precious
Children
Which
At your outset
Outshine
The
Establishment...
Created
By
...?

These words have been cut short because of my lack of concentration... The poem is not concluded.

Dear Future Lover

Dear Future Lover

Dear future lover,
Please be kind.
Touch with only the softest hands
For I've felt the worst.
Please don't be impatient
I may be difficult at times.
I will feel lost without you
For I loathe being lonesome.
Please be gentle with me
Don't pull on my petals.
A smile in its rarest form
Belongs to you and only you.
Please, future lover,
Be faithful to me alone.
I've felt the sting of betrayal once
And I am afraid.
Please never doubt my love
For you're always on my mind.
Never doubt that I dream of you
Each and every night.
Please, future lover,
Give and you shall receive.
I would wake at any hour
To soothe any agony.
Never fear my help, dear
We all have our nights.
Never doubt that I understand
And I won't doubt your frights.
And please, don't ignore me
Just tell me when you're hurting.
I would help in every way
I'd never be a burden.
Finally, future lover,
Know your arms are my home.
And though you may be far
Never let me sleep alone.

The Wall

The Wall

She built it strong
She built it tall
An impenetrable force
her unwavering wall.

Founded on hate
Founded on pain
Slick with agony
Painted in stains.

All sought the climb
All wavered...fell,
failing to reach
failing to quell.

She built her wall strong
She built her wall tall
an unconquerable acquisition
with a devastating fall.

Climb, ascend, mount, scale
but be wary of her ferocious gale,
be mindful of her tears of hail,
Can you reach that heart so pale?
Can
you
reach
her
and
*prevail?

Within Lies

Within Lies

Within me Lies
Someone full of hate, pain and rage. I
See through her eyes.
Inhale her breath.
Consume her foolish men.

I hear her, I feel her.
She speaks in words that burn
Her touch sears the flesh,
Turns life to ash.

She traps me within,
In skin made of silk
Her voice made of Jazz.
Helpless is me (who had lost herself
To the beast once trapped within).

I feel her pain. I feel her hurt,
In pulsating waves
Felt within hollow chambers
Of the heart.

She is not shackled by this pain,
This hurt.
She is Fire.
All consuming, all powerful.
Callously and Casually she entraps.
She ensnares she takes (Inside her rests an unyielding furnace,
Filled with the ash and bone of her victims.
Am I too one?).

She corrupts flesh, she corrupts minds
she burns brightly, boldly, dangerously.
Her flesh slick with
The effluvium of
Lust.

I live within her,
I reside inside.
Shadow of my former self
Fragment of my former life.

She continues to live, she continues to consume
As fire can only take
Fire can only
Burn.
It tempts, it ensnares, enraptures
It does not feel, it does not care
*It does not love.

Innocence Shattered

May 2016 Alem Hailu GKristos

Innocence Shattered

Secrets hidden well,
To cover up the shame.
Memories suppressed inside,
To bring relief to her pain

Nightmares constantly present
To remind that the past is real.
Sickness retching the body,
To release the disgust she feels.

Pasts that still haunt,
Both by day and by night.
Lives forever altered,
By something so far from right...

Child left alone,
Trying once again to be whole.
This unforgivable devastation
Forever tormenting her soul.

Many questions yet unanswered,
She still waits and wonders why...
Was there a reason?
Was there a purpose...
For
All
These
Tears
That
She
Cries...?
