Dumi,

I like love revealing
Hate unlatch
I'm no chameleon
You're no holier
So don't mix me sweet and kola
Cos I like my water settled.

Vera Ezekiel Mar 11

God embraced me in colors

I punctiliously stare the wind
Blows dust over me
Like a car speeding in a dirt track
And I like bird sings my melody
Blithely.

I punctiliously stare the storm
Injects me with flame
Because I'm a crab, I lend
All my horrid pains away.

Last night, in my dreams, God embraced
Me in colors like rainbows
And I laughed at my rainy days
In pitches like a virtuoso.

A poem of life storms, patience and victory.

Reason for gratefulness

Yesterday you were black

              Today you become white.

Sometimes, you wonder why you could

              Be dead at night and feel Alive in

The dawn like mimosa pudica.

This is because there is mercy,

                   There is grace, there is Christ

Who rescued you with the purest Blood;

                                      Costly Blood,

Not even the blood of the bull is a measure.
                     This is the reason for gratefulness.

To the followers of Jesus Christ, To those who would believe in Christ now, To those who would believe later.

The story he had known

It’s Saturday night

Of unbridled sorrow,

I crouched in tears

Picked up my pen to tell

God of the story, he had

Known

Of the heaps of burdens

Laid on a child whose adulthood

Met as a teenager.

I know that you know

But there’s an urge to remind

You of the promises you made

To my fathers;

To Abraham, the son of Terah

To Isaac, Abraham’s true heir,

To Jocab, to Jesse, the root of

David

And to Christ the Saviour of the World

Smithereen

The little things I do
I mind.
The many things you do
I mind.
Though I'm a bunch of
Smithereen
I am here to garner my
Remains with success.

E at like a pig that death awaits
A ccept gift and love from all
T ouch lives and leaves every face beaming
H eart knows not the day death comes.

Faith

My voice is magic,
Sometimes the world clap and hiss;
When sun smiles I'll rise.
