Dear child, breathe in; breathe out again.
Hear my heartbeat, without complaint.
With my perfection, you are a saint.
Dear Lord, I hold your hand; its pierce.
Weak child, you’re strong; your tears I dry.
Hear my promises, abide by;
With tongues adulation and sigh.
See, with Judah’s lion, you’re fierce.
Dear lamb, your red wool, white as snow.
Your eyes of fire and Spirit’s glow.
I’ll follow, wherever you go.
See me child, seated on High.
Led through the shadows, not afraid.
Your every word, I’ve obeyed.
Not perfectly, but covered, prayed.
Your soul is mine, you will not faint.
There is a place I have never been yet,
That no fear knows but boldness owns for love.
There is a place I wish fish caught my net,
To rest the tempest of sea, silence shove...
There is a place I might have been for you,
Where loneliness reside within heart's box.
There is a place you wish to be for two,
That togetherness abide by all clocks...
There is a place you will never be, though;
Dreams hope to direct you back to such time...
There is a place you could have been to know-
How hard it is trying young when at prime.
There is a place for season beyond past,
When heart's joy hardly feels moment's nice blast.
Gone into exile
To be out of sight
Not because of crime
But base on devine
The plan is to win
Not to be seen always.
Gone into exile
Just to revive
Fighting to survive
Energy is contagious
Some people are draining
They leave when it's raining
Comes around when it becomes sunny.
Gone to exile
Not to hide
But to abide by the light
Delighted for self awareness
To be yourself
You have to master yourself
Self mastery is a power to endowed.
You are to me, what I am to you
I don't want to criticize your actions
Tell me your weaknesses
I won't use it against you
Because it's not a mixtape
From the Dj for people to listen to
I just want to confide in you
So we can abide by each other's ways.
You are to me, what I am to you
You're my reflection and I'm yours
You don't need to be perfect
That's why everyday we mature
From every mistake we make
Matured in experience not in size to be precise.
You are to me, what I am to you
If I'm your brother, you're my brother
If I'm your lover, you're my lover
You fill me, and I fill you
Let's grow older together
Fighting our rivals, sticking to our vals
Never to neglect each other, sticking together
No matter the season, for the same reasons.
we imprison ourselves for years
staying in jobs we no longer care to do
worse yet, some of us stay in jobs we never liked
we abide by rules we do not believe in
wanting to keep the peace
or keep these banal jobs
the most stringent prison guard we will ever have
is our self
Our heavenly companions
with endless love
nestling, nurturing
loyalty from above.
Their adoring stares
amass each day
blue eyes looking
beyond our humanity.
As gazing into
the moonlight sky,
these beautiful creatures
bring peace
we all should abide by.
Soothing solace
these peaceful spirits
carried with four legs,
wet kisses and whiskers.
Every reunion treated
as if we had been lost at sea.
The loyalty and unending devotion
a wonderful unique quality.
We hold, cradle and hug
these occasions above and beyond,
with everlasting epilogues.
There will never be anything
as loving and loyal as our dogs.
My lungs fill as I inhale the smoky haze of the September breeze.
Overcast skies stare down on me until the guilt drenches my bones.
A puppet to the pressures of most I cannot control, gnawing at my ears until the only thing I hear is the deafening sound of my own thoughts.
I no longer wish to be another pawn in this unjust game.
I will grow my wings and wander far beyond.
I shall not be influenced to abide by social acceptance, for I am simply over it.
I am over the influence.
The love I possess for you runs deep
It’s depths are unknown of this abyss
They begin to grow the moment when
You gave me our first passionate kiss
The softness of your lips tantalizing me
With the tingling they shot down my spine
Inside my heart affection was growing fast
Looking in your eyes I knew you were mine
I never imagined in all of my life’s days
I’d possess a love only known in a dream
To this day many years from that time
Our has shown itself to be quite supreme
Something about you is to special to me
I hold your heart close as you do to mine
Our love formed this gravitational pull
Leaving us between reality the devine
Your love I will possess throughout life
Holding it close and cherishing it until I die
Each day I love you with even more passion
The only rule to lose and one to abide by
Jesus is present with the angels today
All souls abide by His great love
And now we bow our heads in prayer
Asking the good Lord from above
To speak to us, Almighty King
Show us the path of righteousness
Love and patience that You bring
We love You more, never the less
Change takes courage
To get you through
Life's surprises.
If life is tough
Change direction
Or back to shore.
If lack success
Learn from the sage
Work out by heart.
Learn from failures
Abide by the rule
Done it no more.
A final say,
From my Momma today.
Lest we forget,
What not to do yet.
Letting lose a fart,
That cleans out a room.
Not to be done by anyone!
If it comes upon you,
Momma says, "Just look around,
Pretend someone else has blown out the ground."
I try to abide by those words she said.
But clever as I might be,
Farts always escape me.
Blows out my drawers,
Shakes the knees!
Drivers ! Abide by traffic rules.
That’s proper primary schedule.
Your speed limit never to cross,
You will not gain but may bring loss.
Do never try to overtake.
Better late than to be at stake.
Drivers ! Keep keen eyes on pedestrian
While driving, pay your full attention.
On the ‘BREAK’ you must have control :
to minimise accident -toll.
Drivers : Never to act callous.
On your journey, be serious.
Trapped in a cage,
With dreams shattered
Meant to be forgotten
Dreams of being free
From the tormenting cage
The bird tries to free itself,
Trying to ignore the hurtful judgements,
Trying to be itself,
And not a picture-perfect bird,
That they want it to be
They want it to be something else,
Something, it does not want,
But what can it do,
If trapped inside a cage,
It cannot get out of
'One day I'll be free,' says the bird,
Out of the cage, it will be
Pursuing the dreams of its own
Proving to them,
That its dreams are better
All it has to do
Is to abide by them
So as to be free one day
From the bondage
Inside the cage
Comes a time when we choose to pause
the cause of both fear and desire,
choosing to abide by God’s laws,
whence His touch is all we aspire.
This consciousness shift comes about
on reaching point of exhaustion,
when our soul, to be free from doubt,
abandons prudence of caution.
Where love blossoms, ego recedes,
paving way for grace to inpour,
wherein we are still and God leads,
magnetising each body pore.
God yearns for our touch very much
but we too must cooperate,
by letting go of thought flow crutch,
whence nodes within, in joy gyrate.
To know for sure, we must become
the light that all scriptures acclaim,
which when we’re synced to the bliss hum,
transmutes us as a living flame.
A breeze of super heated love the ancients called it
At the forth angle trumped up charges bemoan you
Twas a case of of an eagle eating a chic..... cry folly
Cry folly for Roy was as is his usual MO a by passer
How can you let her use you're premises yet no pay..
Are you Roi for real threatened the pistol service Bro
Yes you are our Bro Intelligence son is you're not..
Not uttered as Kaayan and by it a pointed index mark
Where did the fingerlings who abide by fingering... Eh
Leave a Mark that Roi now you have to be roasted..
The wheels of justice grind and groan in the mean time
Co-Optation has never been sur-judged as a justice means
In Esoteric font Roi Fold you're wings.. Let chics Be..
Who said you have to stay in the form of the Eagle
A Leopard you are an African Black Panthre' On My Mark.
