Walking down the sea shores
Gazing at wondrous God’s creation
Amused by the noise made by waves
And enjoying the spit by rolling waves
I blinked twice for conviction
I couldn’t believe my eyes
The adage says “looks can be deceiving”
Can the angel be evil?
Your glittering chocolate skin
And dripping diamonds all over your body
Were too bright for my eyes to handle
Your beauty is beyond immaculate
For a moment I went blank and out of words
Silenced by your perfect African beauty
I thought such beauty exist only in fictions
I wanted to complement but I tripped over my tongue
Like your favorite book index
I hope that my actions will guide you to the pages of my heart
That discusses what is in store for you
Only if we can meet again
All my life I’ve been rehearsing
Penning every word that describe you
Hopping I’ll overcome my stammer
I hope for a second chance with you
One great betrayal, always destined to be
One fated man, who never will be free
Thirty silver coins, lying on the ground
Bought the field of blood, where strangers may be found
One lonely outcast, who was too blind to see
One final act, left him hanging from a tree
No salvation, for this man, who has sinned
Body and soul forever, twisting in the wind

Unplaced
With your red rubber cup that makes suction.
You have come in handy many a day,
when there has been a flushing obstruction.
I think you deserve hazard pay.
You've saved toys, an unfortunate cell phone or two.
Then there is always the times your needed,
when we are visited by You-know-Who (pweh).
So your heroics bears being repeated.
Your sacrifice it knows no bounds,
entering murky waters, stopping floods.
Or pulling to surface the items you found.
Now aren't you glad you don't have taste buds?
Some seem to see you as just an extractor.
Yet in movies, your comic timing is beyond belief,
when your stuck on the face of a leading actor.
That you didn't quit your day job is a great relief.
Though everyone knows you on sight so well,
To be an unsung hero, seems to be your lot in life.
Taken out and plunged into porcelain hell,
Where only you would dare to dive.
So Plunger, Oh Toilet Plunger,
as we kneel here before the throne.
Let us sing out your praises,
well, maybe after we can stop these groans.

Hey Jesus Christ is our Quarterback,
He's MVP and never gets sacked,
Twelve Apostles are the rest of the team,
The Bible is their rule and Jesus is their steam.
They always win and never lose,
Cheering for souls for God to use,
With Father God as the Heavenly Coach,
The Holy Spirit now will approach.
God's Angels are the team to try,
Wearing their jerseys all will fly,
Across the goal line happily,
Scoring touchdowns for Eternity.
Some are not fans of this great sport,
Wait till you join this Heavenly Court,
And be a player on a winning streak,
God's Angels team is quite unique.

Love is not something you just say
You have to care and never let your love fade away
I use to love you and baby I still do
But without your love it’s nothing to wake up to
You loved me when I never thought about loving you
But when I did love you our love was true
It was a lot of times I didn’t say it though
But each day I loved you more, more, & more
When I asked you did you love me you didn’t turn away?
You said yes and you embraced me with your care & Grace so without you and
your love I
could never be
So can you give me another chance and Love me
