Win before you start
Ride on the tentacles of faith
And carry thyself to the place of victory
Give yourself no chance to lose
Compete with none
Start from one
And count the stars that brighten the journey
Knowing well that you already won

The baby orphan in the needy cradle
Be his hope like light on a candle
The woman vending in the wild sun
Don't steal her tired goods and run

The single dad toiling hard
He's already worn out don't make him mad
The friend in need of that helping hand
Be that hand and spin the magic wand

The family from which you come by blood
Don't spoil their name lest you get hit by a flood
The man in you, called by your name
Nurture him right to be the kindest fame

The place you call your very country
Do your best and make it a beloved territory
The brother from the other border nation
Be no racist, respect his notion

Fight on
You already won

Don't put the rope to your neck
It's ok to go berserk
Don't take the poison
This phase is just for a season
Don't pull the trigger
God is bigger
He will wipe away your sorrows
And give life to your marrows

Kiss me with the colours of your breath
And serenade me with the strings of the lyre
Let the music play my favourite note
And plunge me near the blaze of love
Where passions burn into gentle flames
Like showers of winning confetti

Your words engrave the sweetest graffiti
Upon my eager earlobe
When you smile fresh waters spill
And wild birds stand agaze
And when you touch my wanting lips
Passions revive anew

Your imperfections perfectly fit my puzzle
There is no room for a scuffle
My mind is coloured with thoughts of you
And my heart picks up the residue
Come oh come my sweet dove
Let's commit the legal crime of love

I will sit under the autumn maple tree
Where butterflies engage the  hummingbirds
I'll surely wait till you appear
To fill my warm embrace
We shall gaze into utter space
And fill it with our maze

Help me ask Santa
Will he come
If the snowflakes are ninety nine
Peradventure eighty
Will he still come
Say the flakes become seventy
Will we see him
Peradventure fifty
Will he consider
What of forty
Will the reindeers move
If they are thirty
Is he coming
If the ice count twenty
Should we expect him
Peradventure ten
Is this too small
If they reduce to five
Will he want to move
If there remain no flake
Will we get our gifts?

The globe is warming
The world is changing
Santa's gift hanging
And life is dying

The sun is in the flake's den
And the battle is gruesome
The hail is losing blood and feeling the heat
The ice on the berg runs into the blue
And the dolphins are bolting out of it

The plea of life beckons wild
For a speedy slow down
And a timely move
Away from winter's space

The lady in Tech
A hero to check
She leads with zeal
A force to reveal

The lady in Tech
A sash on her neck
A victory sash
Bringing the cash

Shadows drying at the shore
Heavy vacuum to the core
Noon dew bidding farewell
In the  midnight waves to dwell

The passing day a sight to see
Fears and tears on wings to flee
Sunset nearing from afar
Faith to catch a better star

Lord I put my trust in thee
Like a lone bird on a tree
Daily bread you always give
By thy word I surely live

Give me a pen without an ink
My words will still flow
They will pour out without a blink
By this I'll still grow

In an abusive relationship?
You got legs?
Run!
You got no legs?
VANISH!

When DONALD *******
And JOE's BID ENtertained defeat
AMBER and ERICA snapped out of their dreams

When WE both stood
In front of the MIRROR
And beheld our faces THEREIN
I realised the only part
Of the mirror that BREAKS NOT
Is true LOVE

I always wondered
Who made the clear blue sky
And exhibited goosebumps
When the moon and stars appeared at night
The highest mountain and the deepest valley
Who made them all so perfectly?
I entered grandma’s large room
To get answers to my questions
And there she was, sleeping soundly
Breathing the morning away
I sat close to her big brown bed
Sitting and watching her beautiful face
I also wanted to ask her
Who made her pretty face?
At last she awoke, Quamin she called
As she turned and sat on the bed
Grandma it’s me Amba I said
As I struggled to sit on her bed
Granny seemed not to make us out at all
When her glasses lay idle somewhere
Oh my! she exclaimed apologetically
As she brushed her feeble hands through my hair
How may I help you my little angel?
She asked with smiling eyes
Grandma I want to know from you
Who made the world so beautifully?
She smiled at me and whispered to me
Only my small ear could hear
His name is God was what I heard
Neither once nor twice but thrice
Her words and the truth sounded so true
I smiled as though I knew this God
I told her I wanted us to visit God
So I could give him fruits and pie
She drew me closer and closer to her
with her two giant and feeble arms
And told me that God is here
I was amazed to hear this again and again
She told me God is everywhere
Omnipresent is the word she used
And mentioned other Omni words
She told me there is a creation story
And promised to tell me the story at night
While I rested in her warm embrace
I knew grandma was the best
Even more amazing is the faithful God we serve
The day and night he made on the first day
And the wide sky on the second day
On the third day he created the land and grass
The sun moon and stars came fourth
On the fifth day fishes and birds appeared
Animals and humans he made on the sixth day
He rested on the blessed seventh day
And saw that what he created was good
Oh! The charming creation story she told
Is the greatest story indeed!

In the silence of the day and night
The hands of the clock
Tick and tock
In the busyness of time
You can tick it Tocking
It stops TOCKING to you when you are not listening

The essence
Of woman empowerment
Should not be to equip her
To compete or reach
The status of a man

It is bringing her
To the point
Where her works
Are impacting and noticeable
And ultimately
Being able to impart knowledge
To the next generation of females

I choose to be born again
To new parents
With no mutual place of coitus
Or a mortal longing to satisfy

I choose to be born again

Flowers
Fading
And wilting away
Redefining beauty
On the garden floor
As a banquet is added
To the colony
Of soil delicacies
To bring forth like beauties
In bounteous folds

Unconditional respect
For high and low profiled connections  alike Adds beauty to the world of possibilities
A butterfly was once a pupa

I was pregnant
Saturated with amazing colourful words
Captivating  expressions filled my belly
And awesome thoughts occupied my brain
They trickled down my eager heart
And gracefully walked into my mind
Forming great memories and flowers of thought

I sat under the Roses of Equador
Beholding the charming red petals
And the sweetly-scented white roses

At the ****** of my visual stroll
The crystal stream touch my feet

On this most picturesque terrain
I conceived the sure words of faith
I sang and clapped and danced for joy
To welcome the dawn of a new creed
In my charming state of delightful euphoria
I birthed the five letters of faith
I danced in circles to glorious tunes
Whirling and twirling near the clear blue sky
With the gorgeous butterflies and crested quetzals

Sunrays displayed in youthful regalia
Like rainbow in the summer rain
And echoes of possibilities flooded my being
Like honey dripping upon my tongue
Sending nuggets of wisdom down my spine

Sluggishly walked by the trees along the park
The day was bright and fairly windy
And the sun hid boldly under the blackish clouds
Sending visible beams across the sky
A candid spectacle  that pierced the sight
Casting copious reflections  upon motley leaves

Out of the sky heaven fell on me
Hitting softly upon my gazing forehead
Tiny sparkles of colourless drops
Dampened the picturesque natural ambiance
With signs of moisture and earth aroma

I doubled my steps to reach for cover
Close enough stood an idle hut
As I lifted my eyes to measure the gaze
I spotted a stunning heaven in the heavens
That calmed my stress and troubled steps
A flashy view of a charming rainbow
Tinted the sky in perfect orbits
Showering glitters of hope upon the seer
And bands of rays in splendiferous array

Like eyes feasting on dripping honey
It forced liquid smiles down my throat
Oh if I could catch the variegated sky
Would wrap it in linen and made it mine
And behold daily its dazzling hues

The red reminded me of scarlet cherries
Roaming the streets of North America
The orange shone like dainty tulips
Dancing in the airs of beloved Holland
And the sunset yellow smiled smart as gold
Deep within the soils of China
The green sparked like olive fruits
Hanging on magic wands in Europe's Spain
And the blue twinned along with the perfect sea blue sky
The indigo below the cute green
Dazzled on in utter amazement
And the violet brought me back home
To relish the velvet fruit of Africa

All together carefully created
Is the exquisitely coloured rainbow
Conveying a message of hope to lost souls
And love psalms to weary hearts
