    Our Gratitude



    How I Take Care of My Loved Ones


    What I can do to make my loved ones feel better,

    Is to handle my world right, really be a 'go getter',

    Still I gotta be kind, considerate, thoughtful, and nice,

    While I’m making my world full of sugar and spice!

    Trusting in God to rock my life steady,

    Is the one way I know I can always be ready,


    Moving my life in a better direction,

    Is the proper way to get positive attention,

    Counting the love losses I’ve had in the past,

    Is no way to make my future dreams last,

    Sitting here lonely, still steaming and brewing,

    Is no way to get things done that I should be doing!


    Gotta keep reminding, remembering and knowing,

    Things that make me feel good and help me keep growing,

    That’s keeping myself in good health and good shape,

    So I can walk around all the time lookin great!

    Yeah, I want to always take care of myself,

    Or they’re gonna come take me, put me back on the shelf,


    I need to keep thinking that the things that I do,

    Are gonna make me feel better or make me feel blue,

    And by taking good care of #1 in my book,

    People will see how good from the inside I look,


    So by helping myself I do everyone a favor,

    Looking good and feeling good’s something everyone can savor,

    I look out for my loved ones by taking care of me,

    And being the best is something everyone can be! (carefree or family!)

    No Title


    I woke in the morning and looked at the watch

    At half past ten the class almost out

    As the alarm went out and the closet quite a sight

    I prayed my God, oh please be my light


    A light through the maze that they sadly call life

    The light to the class that’s on the campsite

    A light through the darkness that gives me a fright

    I prayed my God, oh please be my light


    I took all my books and headed for class

    I carried my bag while trotting on the grass

    Tired of the load that I had and my tasks

    I prayed my God, oh please help me out


    Out of the misery that this life starts to bring

    Out of reality and materialism

    Out of the greed and imperialism

    I prayed my God, oh please help me out


    I got in the class and started with the task

    I neither knew what to do nor who to ask

    I looked at my work and hours ran past

    I prayed my God, oh please let me pass


    Pass this repetition of puzzles to be done

    Pass with distinctions although the work weighs a tonne

    Pass through this journey coz time left is none

    I prayed my God, oh please let me pass


    I finished the work in an hour less than I thought

    In a minute I prayed, it was an hour I bought

    A minute with him you can save quite a lot

    My God, I praise you for the Son You have wrought

    Peace

    I look around the world and sigh,

    Then I think and wonder why?

    Can’t we stop this hue and cry?

    We can give Peace a try!



    War brings turmoil and blood,

    People are dragged through mud.

    Peace dies in that gore and flood.

    Let the Peace flowers bud.



    Terrorism and bloodshed on the ground,

    I cringe when gun shots sound.

    Bomb blasts in all our towns,

    Terrorists are killing around.



    Innocent people lose their lives,

    My heart is pricked with sharp knives,

    I hope Peace soon arrives,

    Only then our nation survives.



    Through the city a noise booms,

    Sirens of ambulances wail with a zoom.

    Every heart is filled with gloom,

    When will Peace flowers bloom?



    Peace is hope, Peace is light,

    It’s the sweet scent in the night.

    It’s the bright shining light.

    That gives darkness a dreadful fright.



    Peace is the music of hope and love.

    It comes down from the heavens above.

    Remember the flutter of the white Dove,

    Let’s unite and spread the love.



    Peace is rainbow, love and care,

    Come join hands and say a prayer.

    Love each other in trouble and despair,

    Otherwise Peace will become rare.



    Let’s join hands and look for Peace,

    Let’s be tolerant and love will increase,

    Help each other and hatred will cease,

    Be forgiving and jealousy will decrease.



    We will leave our sorrows behind,

    If we think and free our mind

    Make Peace and we will find,

    A wonderful world for mankind

    The Spell is Broken


    I used to laugh

    At the frog who turned

    Into a Prince

    Or the Beauty

    Who woke from her sleep;

    It was only a fairytale.



    I stand today

    By the magic

    Of your kiss;

    Amazed by its power

    To liberate.



    It is almost as if

    A long spell

    Has been broken.

    My Secret Butterfly


    Upon a sun-filled rock I sat and thought;

    How much loneliness life had brought

    What did I do to deserve all this?

    What Keys to happiness did I miss?



    Where was my help, as a child I was promised?



    Butterfly's kiss brought about a quiver

    Deep inside I felt a shiver

    To my amazement came a feeling

    On whispered winds... Her gossamer wings

    So thrilling!



    I give over; I am willing!

    I thought...



    From the smallest creature an amazing feeling grew

    She landed on the dew, my hair made --

    Afraid She'd (Butterfly Angel) bid me adieu



    A violet golden shower engulfed my aura

    On the Crown Chakra the Golden Butterfly Angel landed

    Giving glorious friendship/ guidance

    To Me She handed!



    What miracles when needed we are given

    When to depression we are driven

    to despair, to worry, to sadness

    Forming us into a ball of madness!

    Mired in hopelessness and fear

    Fearing to show a cleansing tear --



    Will others think I'm crazy?

    Does the Butterfly Guardian think

    my will to live is lazy?

    Confused, where to go?

    What to do?

    To make my blueprint of life come true.



    The Butterfly Angel fluttered her gossamer golden wings...

    She looked into my heart and sent me reeling!

    Why are you so stubborn with your feelings?

    You search the outer realms for knowledge

    A school, university or college --



    It's there inside you!

    In the middle



    Subconscious has the answers

    So draw the golden bow across your inner fiddle

    And trust in us!

    We'll help you win

    Love, trust yourself to go within!

    Can I say to you now, what I dared not back then,

    What my lips dared not speak, I shall say with my pen,

    With my pen, I shall pick at the bars locked of fear,

    And reveal what behind, could have taken me where?

    One moment so long ago, Our eyes once met,

    And my heart went soaring, I can never forget.

    To a sky that before had seen little for sight,

    As my heart glanced off dead stars, that burst into light.

    For in those eyes, a memory stirred so it seemed,

    Of a soul once touched in the midst of a dream.

    My love sprang free and was filled with delight,

    But my mind was also paralyzed with fright.

    For within this world I and love were such strangers,

    And what we know not is fraught with dangers,

    Still when you spoke, It was music I heard,

    In my castle of fears, I could not speak a word.

    So my feelings remained hidden deep within.

    I could not tell you, It seemed such a sin.

    I cannot pass on with these words unexpressed,

    And if you race off, afraid, I guess it's what's best.

    But know. I loved you then.

    I look at your picture, now and again.

    The feeling, so precious,

    So awfully rare. is always there.

    Never Can Change Anything?

    Never can change anything?

    Why everything seems like a challenge?

    How something just becomes far away?

    I don't know, just stay confused till the end of the day!

    Fear inside the heart in hell,

    Only shun posted causing love fail,

    RED plus BLACK joined hands promising to dwell,

    Laughing at Naive whose bloody hands painted the mighty cell!

    Triple Giants standing around,

    But another giant approaching to break the bound,

    To run away, far away, to say without any sound,

    At the end hands going down,

    Realizing emptiness reigning the surround!

    Questioning that Darkness is absence of light?,

    Yes, but what if there's no light, only fight,

    Just stay confused as before, is it Dark or weak is my sight?

    Only way is to hope to find WHITE in the Very Height!!!

    YOU...!!!

    You are my reflection
    My smile
    My food
    My happiness
    With You I have no boundaries

    You my inner voice
    My song
    My plea
    My cry

    Some say i`m crazy
    When one smile at me, I know you are here
    You presents is felt
    The unborn is touched
    Miracles are seen

    Today I vow beyond doubt, before reasons circumcise my mind
    In Your shell like an unborn hen
    I feel safety and love
    With you I can walk without feet.
    Talk without words, and
    Fly without wings
    Because you are in me,
    The inside has gloomed my intellectual mind

    With You
    I fought won combat battles without fear
    I thank you for the toil you’ve brought upon my shoulder because with You, I know
    I shall not suffer
    I went classes with you in me you thought me not slumber

    You the seed in my garden
    I crop fruit to feed the hungry with your love
    With you the world is at peace
    You the sun, stars and moon above
    You the day during night
    You are the summer before seasons come and go
    You are my reflection
    I talk your voice in me, your rhythm in my steps when I walk
    I shall not be lead into destruction

    You are my reflection
    Without you I can never exist
    Life is desert with water
    We sheep without Sheppard
    For real we would be lost
    You my eyes
    My hands
    My voice
    My legs I shall not be left

    You are the silent in noise, You the peace behind hatred
    You slice of bread a cream of life that I indulge without guilt
    you the apple of life, the good fruit in Nabbot`s garden for it his blood was shed
    You the love in Cane before Abel

    You are my reflection
    You the love behind enemies
    You are my inspiration, you’ve woke me up
    I managed to smile
    You are the birds, cattle the marine and occupants
    You are the world and life in it
    You give meaning to life
    You are my reflection,

    When I look in the mirror
    I see you in me, a new day has come
    Now, with you I see

    You’ve brought me this far never aborted me
    You gave courage to my mother to carry the burden
    You always got me crying
    You send angels without wings
    In them I see you and me
    You are my reflection
    You are me, I am You
    You are my reflection!

    Raining Night

    A night full of stars
    and the grey moon glowing
    in the dark clouds.
    The days when the rain beats
    like bullets on the
    thatched roofs...

    And there is no sound but the
    swish of water in the
    gutters. The soft wind howling
    at the wooden window panes,
    as i try to trace the
    falling rain drops that
    were streaming down the cold
    window glass.

    The streets seemed quiet and
    lonely, except for a sad
    drenched dog that was limping
    slowly in the rain.

    It was a time of sitting
    around the fireplace
    and being sad..
    A time of watching television,
    reading bedtime stories
    and playing cards.

    And in my dreams..
    snowballing with friends
    in the snow.

    Happy on a sad dark raining night...

    Spiritual Liberation

    I have rid myself of the material mind
    And now stand in spirit totally free
    Timeless and deathless beyond all human-kind
    Drunk off the taste of true liberty

    I no-longer exist among the walking dead
    I am immortal, at peace and ineffable
    I now walk with light above my head
    And have grown spiritually and immeasurable

    I am fleshless, thankful, and filled with everlasting light
    My heart is as clam as the Caribbean sea
    My senses response to the vibrations and sight
    Boundless to the ego and earthly gravity

    Beyond earthly planes I have reached peaks
    I have embraced the manifestation of no end
    Spiritual liberation is what drove me to seek
    A reality, an understanding, an existence, an eternity

    Behind the structure of stars and abyss
    I am aware and I am tuned with the infinite
    I have made contact with the Immortals of bliss
    Existing in a fathomless light waiting to commit

    Themselves to my guidance across the sphere
    So there within the rhythms of the universe we are one
    As I left my ego behind to ascend like the air
    To meet the one whom I am known as his son

    I am Poisoned

    I am poisoned by the eyes,
    And the dark outlined eyebrows.
    I am poisoned by the word,
    And the thoughts.
    I am poisoned by the calmness,
    And the lovely shy.
    I am poisoned by the action you take,
    And the lovely moves you make.
    I am poisoned by the touch,
    And the way I feel is just too much.
    I am poisoned and taken by the hallucination,
    Every act I do is your imitation.
    I see it’s you in my vision.
    I am poisoned and I feel the pain,
    I shall loose everything for you to gain.
    I am poisoned, poison me one last time
    Let the poison run in me all over again
    Come hold my hand
    Take me to the world
    Devoid of time and tide
    Nothing to regain
    No happiness no pain
    Emptiness all over again.

    Only Love

    Love can sometimes be fresh.
    Love can sometimes be new.
    Love can sometimes make you happy.
    And sometimes make you blue.
    Love is the light that radiates from your eyes.
    Love is your image floating in the skies.
    Love is true.
    And darling, the only love for me is you.

    The Best Mans Speech

    The best man’s speech
    It is indeed a blessing in disguise
    For so long I’ve known the story
    His life is a fairy tale
    For he lived in trepidations, in fear of reality
    So I say ladies and gentleman
    No man is an island

    As for me, I’ve waited in eager expectations
    To welcome the bride
    The groom surprised me with a
    Tremendous guest

    This goes for the lady in white
    Marriages are made in heavens
    So are thunder and lightning
    Behold, for the journey has just begun

    As you sit side by side
    Through the roller coaster of life
    Remember to scream from the peaks
    And hold hands, and laugh through
    The loop and enjoy every twist and turn
    For the ride is better because
    You will share it together

    For you are not alone
    4 better, 4 worse
    4 richer, 4 poor
    I have done my calculations
    16 more are to come
    As I said: the ride is better because
    You will share it

    May you live as long as you want
    And never want as long as you live
    Good fences make good neighbours
    I salute!!!

    Hope


    Hope is beauty,

    Personified,

    At her feet, the world,

    Hypnotized.

    A million flashes,

    A million smiles,

    And on the catwalk,

    She flats in style

    But in this heart of darkness

    Our hope lies lost and torn;

    All flame like love is fleeting

    When there's no hope anymore

    Pain and glory,

    Hand in hand,

    A sacrifice,

    The highest price;

    Like the poison in her armv

    Like a whisper she was gone...

    Like when angels fall.

    And in this heart of darkness

    All hope lies on the floor;

    All love like fame is fleeting

    When there's no hope anymore

    Like the poison in her arm

    Like a whisper, she was gone

    Like an angel,

    And Angels fall

    A Widow's Wonder


    What is it like to be a young rose without petals

    That longs for each crimson wing

    To fold up for winters and unfold in summers,

    What is it like to be a rose that reflects her bare carpal

    On the serene lake of clear, cyan water?

    Years on the lonely rosary without joy,

    Towering above the dark auburn soil,

    Watching drops of golden shine melt.

    What is it like to be a dream that never blaze

    In a night sky that has no stars and moon?

    Dry nectar, no more, a sweet taste,

    Bees and butterflies, alike,

    They long not a sweet drop upon their tongues.

    Lonesome rose on the bare soil,

    What is there to dream for on this waning Earth?

    Come Fly with Me!


    Unrestrained by words

    Bird soaring in an endless sky

    Linear time bowing to timelessness

    It comes unbidden and irresistible.

    A feeling, a thought, an image

    Is engine to its inevitability.

    It proceeds in spite of its self

    Taking up no space at all.

    "Facts" cannot make it falter.

    It flies from start ot start.

    Created on road to matter's death

    the poem

    the deathless one

    the deathless Heart

    comes

    because it must

    and cries

    in boundless joy

    Rain


    We waited months for the first rains to fall

    The coming storm was the beginning of it all

    The thunder and lightening lit up the dark sky

    The rain quenched the thirst of the grass once so dry

    After the anger of the storm had ceased

    And the ferocity of the drops had decreased

    I was witness to one of nature’s most beautiful scenes

    I had to catch my breath and realize it was not a dream

    The huge trees stood magnificent and yet so humbled

    As the rain bathe the leaves and the little drops tumbled

    The street lamp lit up the garden, what a beautiful sight

    To see the rain fall, so gently and peacefully into the night

    The washing line was covered with little beads of rain

    Shimmering golden lights dancing and falling off again and again

    I stood and gazed out my window for a while longer

    Smiling inside like a child, wishing I was younger

    The next morning everything looked so much brighter

    Getting rid of the dust surely makes things look lighter

    When the moment is right, the rain will appear

    It will cleanse you and make your burdens disappear

    Spirited Women


    Her heart and soul is more valuable than

    Rubies, diamonds, and gold rings.

    The power she possesses from within can

    Inherit many fruitful things.

    The shield Of faith, and the helmet of salvation can

    Defeat the poisoned river of sadness. The

    breastplate of righteousness is included

    With her powerful armor against the world

    Of madness. Sprinkled moments of anger float

    Throughout her mind, but she becomes a great

    Conqueror searching for the gospel peace in

    All due time. The spirit of the Lord gives

    Her strength to endure many heart breaking

    Trials and tribulations. God's love, grace, and

    Mercy endureth forever with no limitations.

    Be good be kind to yourself

    Because their ways to brighten yourself.

    Fairy Tale


    Fake smile you chained

    Sweet falsely words expressed

    Great thoughts exposed

    Hot heart made visible

    YET ALL WAS IN A DREAM

    Kindness at hand for charity

    Yet at heart unpredictable bird is burried

    Flying from one nest to the next

    Leaving great minds in holes

    Living for Me


    I have come to learn that love is that of a circle that continues to swirl around over and over to which I stand in the middle, but I have stepped outside and allowed myself to walk a straight line on my own, the path of happiness in which I must accomplish to allow myself the pride in knowing that I didn’t need the love of another to succeed.

    I have learned that the joys in life are that of what we make of them, I have had to struggle with my inner-self to come to the conclusion that fighting my inner-self will do nothing but break my own heart. I know I must be strong threw it all, because I am the only true person that will protect me and guide me threw the journey, I am the one who will allow myself to cry tears of pain if I don’t encourage myself to do better, I have gained and lost many things in life, I know that there is no one person to make me happy, being honest with myself is the only choice I have. I have tricked myself into believing the lies of others, but yet I'm my only partner in life.

    Looking into the mirror I tell myself I am not beautiful, I am not special, my self esteem hits rock bottom to the sea of my tears of disappointment, I cannot sit here and wish that someone someday will dry my ocean, for the tears of my emotions are the tears of my life, a life of ups and down, accomplishments and disappointments, yet threw the sea of open emotions, I feel the breeze of my sighing wind allowing the sailboat of hope to sail as though there is no limit and no end of my ocean, there is no moment of life that will enclose my ocean to the thought of failure of the faith that I hold so dear to my heart of someday somehow becoming the person I am inside.

    The person I long to be with the help of no one but my passion to live my life for me and only me. I am my best friend, I am my mentor, I am the judge of my life. My ocean will stay deep and wide so all my experiences in life may swim threw the waves of my happiness in myself, for this is the only option I give myself.

    The Uplifting Poem


    When you walk down that narrow road of life

    Things seem to fall apart

    Times get hard and things get worst

    When all hope is gone

    Get Up fight for your rights

    And take back your life

    Sometimes thigs in life may go sour

    You fall and feel like you have no power

    Take out an hour, a time out

    Capture youself and get up and

    Carry on with your life

    If in case you turn down the wrong road in life

    Look up for help and you'll find your guide

    Get back on the right track of life

    Don't give up and please don't quit

    Because the golden doors to success

    Is just around the corner

    To greet you with open arms

    My Sweetheart - My Love Olwam


    Born in tears

    Born to bring joy

    You lean in my chest

    You mold that love in my heart

    as I think of the dark

    yesterday

    My tears rain down with joy

    My heart beat like the drop of water into a ground floor

    My yesterday is gone

    Where tears were flowing into my pillow

    Today tears flow into my sweartheat's face

    As I watch your eyes glowing with beauty and innocence

    I begin to see our tomorrow

    Mommy and son walking to gate to open your future

    The sun is glowing with sun rays

    While my son is glowing with everlasting beauty at heart

    The tape plays back

    For a moment....and 'daddy'

    The blinking of my sweertheart's eyes remind me

    He has never been there from the foundation so whatever happens

    Now I am fulfilled and looking forward.

    My sweetheart

    My inspiration

    Now I know that I can stand my ground even if it takes overflowing of tears.

    Sweetheart let's hold our hands and travel along...and 'daddy' will meet us on the way if his journey meet's with ours ahead.

    Should I? I am Scared


    He said he loves me yet I am scared
    He puts me under his spell with his words that arouse my feelings
    He takes me to a place that I never knew existed

    Should I go to his heart and dwell in it
    Should I believe the world he promises me?

    Should I?

    Should I forget his imperfections?
    Should I let him protect me from my enemies?
    Should I let him be me and I him?
    Should I let him be my reflection and I his?

    I am scared...

    He promises me heaven and earth

    I am scared...

    Should I?

    I am Alive


    I’m Alive!

    Stern time, I am crushed
    Help me not to live, I am alive!

    O West Wind,
    Heavenly nest is shaken by you
    Straws requested from time no more
    Time yet to come has gone
    Gone are the days and you too, I know
    Help me not to live, I am alive!

    O Gracious Fire,
    Never rages the fortune to someone
    Unexpected is lie, enough to shine
    Can’t go through your eternity
    You failed my thatch of expectation, I know
    Help me not to live, I am alive!

    O Blessed Earth,
    Barren is not the luck than why do I
    Crescent sockets are dying in the vultures eyes
    Thunder sterile on the verge once again
    But woes to magnify, I know
    Help me not to live, I am alive!

    O Dazzling Sky,
    The only sigh is far away by miles
    Nothing to perish by an orphans cry
    Going gets tough, moonlit is not the light
    But to siege ray of hope, I know
    Help me not to live, I am alive!

    O Rejuvenate Water,
    Rotten mast, torn sail, exhausted sailor
    Feeding birds of prey are in danger
    Rejuvenate nature has been turn by thine
    The sun has set for the night, I know
    Help me not to live, I am alive!

    O Stern Time,
    I am the Man
    Let me astray from the threshold of life
    Everyone hopes for the best not expecting the worst
    Everything is yielding for you, contradict may thine
    But scar on life will be lost, best in time, I know
    Help me not to live, I am alive!

    Love


    Though I speak in many languages and tongues, but have no Love,
    I am just making loud noises and not sweet music from above.

    Though I have the gift of prophesy and don't Love as I should,
    It's all done in vain and it really does me no good.

    Though I possess the gift of faith to move every obstacle out of my way,
    Still without Love it will count against me on that great judgment day.

    Although I give myself and alms to everyone that I can,
    But it profits me nothing if I don't Love my fellowman.

    Love is patient and Love is being kind,
    The Love of God gives peace to a troubled mind.

    Love is not jealous, envious, nor operates in pride.
    Love is patient and gentle when in God's word you abide.

    Love is not haughty, selfish or rude,
    Love is the opposite of being hateful and cruel.

    Love doesn't boast about sin but rejoices when truth is told,
    Love bears, believes, hopes, and endures, it's more precious than gold.

    Love never fails and is always here to stay,
    But prophecies, tongues, and knowledge will all vanish away.

    It's wonderful to possess such virtues like faith, hope, and love,
    But the greatest is Love for it came down from heaven above.

    Our Gratitude


    Thank you Lord for all the blessings that you give,

    And for providing us for daily needs.

    For without you Lord there nothing we can do,

    And that everything we have all comes from you.

    Thank you Lord for the great love that you give,

    For you know this is what we need.

    You sent to us Jesus Christ as our redeemer,

    Knowing that our salvation would mean his crucifixion.

    Thank you for the boundless mercy that you give,

    For to be forgiven is what we all need.

    To show even in our sinfulness you still love us,

    So may do the same for those who hurt us.

    Thank you for the gift of faith that you give,

    For you know Lord this is what we truly need.

    To believe there is a good, loving and merciful God,

    Who will forever guide and protect us from above.
