A part of me shatters me into fragments.
Another part gathers those fragments and consumes them.
This inner conflict consumes me entirely.

The demons within are daunting to confront,
As are the fears that haunt me,
Tainting everything I find beautiful.

Facing these demons is the toughest trial I've faced

No matter how hard I attempt to flee,
For when what haunts you is of the mind,
Where can you seek refuge?

I fight battles I know I'm stronger than,
Yet I lose fights I know I'm meant to win.
These failures overwhelm me,
Burrowing deep into the fertile soil of my soul.

Save me, Spirit within,
Strengthen me, grace given,
Stand by me, Word of God,
And grant me victory, Authority given.

The desires within,
The need,
The urge,
The longing,
The fury,
To break free,
To be unshackled,
To be released,
And to be liberated.

In the garden of existence, like a rose in bloom,
Hope unfurls its petals, radiant and sublime.
Yet, as fate intervenes, plucking its tender form,
It yields to mortality's touch, gracefully resigned.

But does death mark the end, the final decree?
Or does it echo the cycle of life's eternal plea?
For in the quiet surrender of a kernel's fall,
Lies the promise of resurrection, hope's clarion call.

Beyond the confines of mortal decree,
Hope transcends, boundless and free.
While death may claim its transient sway,
Hope endures, casting shadows away.

As seasons turn and trees shed their guise,
Their stumps decay, under nature's guise.
Yet, with the whisper of water's embrace,
New life emerges, in a wondrous chase.

For every tree, there lies hope's embrace,
In every withered leaf, a promise of grace.
Just as the tree finds solace in renewal's spree,
Hope abounds, an eternal decree.

I tend to think only rivers flow until I meet this girl
That caused everything of mine to flow
Like the river flows
The heart can flow
The flowing heart into the rivers of love.
There is a river that carries love
And once the heart finds it
It will flows to shore
There is a love that waits at the shoe
When the heart sails to shore
It finds its flow.
Like the river flows
The heart can flow.

I was broken several times from the disappointments of life
My past kept hunting me like it was the present of now
All I knew were the fears that kept rushing in
My defensive self is looking for a place of safety
For who can be my safe haven?

A question for the gods
Should I now search to find one?
A place to rest with a free spirit
Or an inn filled with all that renders me with peace.

But I promised not to be ******* myself
And yet I keep taking bitter pills of unfading memories
When I recalled the past of yesterday,
I could not even leap for joy.

I was made to believe the pieces of my past
Connects my experiences to inform my future
But the universe keeps draining out of me
And all I am left with is the happiness within
Looking for a place to hide
For my safe haven stares at me right from within, my inner self.

As I dashed to hide in my safe haven
With all my worries and distress
There it is, occupied
Occupied by another person

My emergency inn is now a home to someone else
Is no more a safe place for me.
But for my emergency inn to become a home,
Then it was really a safe place.

Take me back she says
Back to the place where I once felt safe in your arms.
Where the memories of yesterday are so fresh like today.
But times have changed


In a twinkle of an eye
It is no more a place for you
You can only hold on to the past of us
The present is not yours anymore

Another callers and I follow suit
Back to the beginning where I once found myself for me
The secret place within me
My safe haven
A safe place within,  who can find? If what is haunting you is of the mind,  where can you run to safety?  My journey to a safe haven.

Plant me at the center of your heart.
Nurse me with the fertilizer of your love.

Water me with the tears of your joy
And grow me with the tender of your care.

For the roots of my heart longs to grow deep into the depth of your soil.
And its stem spring forth into the hope of your grace.

As its leaves grow healthy with  postivity.
As its flowers  exhibit the beauty of unity.

Wonderfully, I will grow where I belong.
In spite of the weeds of challenges and negativities.
Indeed, your heart is my dwelling place.
The right soil can bear a good love fruit.

You are not ready for this kind of love. I agree. I've been there before.

In my case I ran away but I'm not letting you do same.

I honestly don't know what is propelling me love you so.

I used to play around when a lady is unsure of the state of her heart and that made me pursue other ladies.

That isn't me now, I can't let a good lady walk away from my life.

Honestly a side of me wants to give it all up because there are other wonderful persons in my life that can make a good wife.

But the side that wants you is greater than all.

Reason for loving you and can't even find one. Is it looks? No, I've know many beautiful ladies with looks some time back in my life but I never met you.

Is it intelligence? No, I've sat in class with extremely intelligent ladies but you were never in my class.

Is it ? No, I've with some time back in my life and they all didn't have a problem offering. Never did you offer and never had it crossed my mind to compel you to offer.

Is it love? No, I'm passionate about people and on a regular day, I love people. But I realised that sometimes I love, hate and love again.

Is it money? No, there have been good times and in the bad I only dated rich ladies. But that never made me stay when I had to leave.

So what is it that makes me love you so? You! If you're loved and happy, it brings me so much joy and my heart is glad.

Life is all about living for others and if you help others find that which they are searching for,  you will find yours in return.
I once lived, loved and I'll live again.
