You're the apple of my eye,
so, I'll bake you in a pie.
Oven fresh, I will greet you.
Then, happily I'll eat you.
Most apples don't fall far from the tree
Although that's not what happened to me
In the blink of an eye
I wound up in a pie
Just one more tart in a bakery
As a dessert I was quite the boss
And was peeled with a minimal loss
The rest dropped to the floor
From the stem to the core
Well at least I wasn't applesauce
Apple of My Eye
Psalm 17:8
“Keep me as the apple of the eye*, hide me under the shadow of thy wings. “
Chorus:
Apple of my eye
Baby, please don't cry
I'll keep you safe
I'll carry you
And keep you as the apple of my eye
Verse:
We fight against wickedness in high places
Every Christian faces…
The darkness…
Never sleeps
Sometimes we know defeat
Under His wings we can hide
In His love abide
Until we're strengthened once again
Climb upon His lap
Tuck your head beneath His chin
Close your eyes
Listen to His lullaby
Chorus:
Apple of my Eye
Baby, please don't cry
I'll keep you safe
I'll carry you
And keep you as
The apple of my Eye
Waves of thoughts hover over you my dear,
my precious pearl, my prince perfect, my pride.
As you gently grow up and glide with cheer,
I hide my love in pain when you I chide.
Why do I always put you before me?
Answer to such questions only God knows!
With bliss, joy and peace I wish you to glee,
when mother's instinct blindly overflows.
You leave me in awe with your deep insight,
In your light let many smiles of hope gleam.
May the path you tread illuminate bright,
as you give wings to your most cherished dreams.
You will be my priceless jewel ever.
My devout prayers will shield you forever.

I bargained for apples at lesser price,
said she with a smile “Take it or leave it!”
“they are so delicious and bigger size!”
I bargained for apple at lesser price,
She and I had already dated thrice,
I was there for her and she knew it!
I bargained for apples at lesser price,
said she with a smile “Take it or leave it”!

I'm afraid of letting my mouth blurt out how much I love you;
If only you knew how brave I was trying to be;
I've been feeling like a tiger in a zoo,
But this little cat cannot be free.
You are always in my dreams;
You smile and I die.
If only I had little self-esteem,
I would be flying over the sky.
My friend, my lovely mate,
You have no idea how much I crave
Your juicy lips wish to taste;
In a whisper I dare say:
That you are always in my dreams,
And when you smile, I die.
I'll never forget the way you beams,
Because you are the apple of my eye.
when you made that hot apple pie
then placed it to cool on the hutch
it was the apple of my eye
and it tasted like it was dutch

We met in the most unlikely of places
I had no idea of the seed that had been planted.
You said your name,I was Forced to ask Twice
We lost touch shortly after
I never forgot your exquisite looks
Your ability to lighten up my day with your smile
Your personality is a gravitational wave, pulling me in.
But this love is falling fast
Because we are incompatible
Our lives, our personalities, our very existence is impossible to mesh together.
My love will stay far away, and I hope with my kind words,I will have planted the seeds for place In the distant future,
Where our lives overlap once more, and our personalities are more in tune.
Until then, I will smile when I think of you, and I will always be there for you, even when everything crashes.
I love you as the girl who looks from afar,as the girl you never knew.
How I love thee my sweet pomegranate
For thy are beautiful as a blanket of flowers;
My love is a fine wine ready to consume
Always as fresh as April showers.
My love for you is a never-ending fire
Filled with respect and sincere desire.
There is only one cherub who guards me, you are.
There is only one voice which soothes my soul, you are.
There is only one thought I thought, you are.
There is only one berry which quenches my thirst with sweet juice, you are.
There is only one soulmate I have, you are.
There is only one song I sing, you are.
There is only one love I cherish, you are.
There is only one dream I have, you are.
There is only one mother of my children, you are.
There is only one guardian angel I have, you are.
There is only one wife I have married, you are.
There is only one river of living waters I drink from, you are.
There is only one happiness I have, you are.
There is only one companion of all times I have, you are.
There is only one true friend of all times I have, you are.
There is only one gladdening source I have, you are.
There is only one woman I have a frantic search for, you are.
There is only one lantern burning in my heart and is not extinguished, you are.
There is only one apple of my eye, you are.
There is only one light to my feet, you are.
APPLE OF MY EYE
As smoke is released from the fire
It rises up to the atmosphere and never come down
Am still rising up and I do not expect to go back down for your love
Although I feel like am on the top of the mountain but still am climbing
Climbing a mountain of love
Love of you an apple of my eye.
You are sweet as honey
Carrot not stick
I cannot bite the hand that feeds me
I do not want to be hungry any more while the food is on my hands
And I am feeling lucky to be with you
An apple of my eye.
In the garden
The garden of all kind of attractive flowers
Flowers with sweetest perfume
And the cool environment
The place I am staying with you
An apple of my eye.
I cannot let our love die
Doomandgloom to attack the sky
While the sun is still shinning
I do not want to lose you
Because I love you, and I will be with you forever
You an apple of my eye.
By MUSSA SHIKOME.
Cozy night bubbles a crimson delight
Moon and stars tango on angelic heights
Beside, pillowed the apple of my eye
His breathing languidly rhythmic with mine
His thudding heartbeat a stellar of light
Arch strong features - repleting me with might
The silence - a roaring serenity
Next to him my euphoric ecstasy
I adoringly stare on his presence
Memorizing fully his very essence
Touch of cotton - soft, I run my fingers
To each square inch, I caress to linger
Wrapped tight in his musky heavenly scent
Praying forever not only for rent
But soon... I must leave you not to sin more
Saving you from patches of harlequin
I thank heavens for this amazing date
Hating me is better than sinful fate

Inspired by the poem Silent Nights of Arthur Vaso with a twist
CONTEST: IMAGINATION
SPONSOR: DAVE WOOD
first place... to GOd be the glory.. !
i wonder..
some thoughts of you..
keep me ponder
as like a roaring thunder
sometimes as i close my eyes
picture of you starts to dance
making me happy and glad
taking me a way from what i have
indeed, i look forward
in time we'll be free as a dove
only me and you
for sure, we'll not be blue
as our stares probably glued
oblivious are the clues
need not we speak
need not any words
as merely our gaze
will tell them how are we daze
dazed from all of them
only us feel in a sole dim
composure, we'll try to redeem
as love falls in true scheme..
The apple of my eye is a one for
An Amazon of an all in one
Being sourced from the Almighty’s Blessings
A paradox in discovery by Spiritual vision
Unsearchable among the highs and lows
As more precious than earthly
A glorious heritage with more respect for the reward
You are the Apple of my eye
I can never let you go away
Even when you are far away
From my heart you never go away
When our story will be told
Anthony and Cleopatra shall be kindergarten’s tale
My heart billows of love
Continuously being expressed
My deep affection for you
Resounds over a thousand hills
The more at your being I gaze
The more your fondness I develop
My love for you is mountaineering
Above the mountains resonating
You are my apple of ardor
I have crossed the Rubicon to love
Your tenderness as the gentle breeze
Blowing over the Mediterranean Sea
When I remember we are flesh
As a wisp of smoke
As roses wither in the garden
I must seize the precious moments
Of your exquisite love
Pure and so true
Undefiled so Divine
To carry you in my heart.
Quick find me an apple
And shove it in my eye;
I'm pathetic like facts under Snapple
Caps twist off as I cry,
My arms my legs
And anything you want
You took my heart and even kegs
Of rum cannot un-haunt
The void left behind;
Not even a huge pumpkin rind
Can plug this black hole,
Sucking whatever life is left
Withering fading from my soul,
With whom do I file a claim for this theft?
My mind is not in right now
Leave a message; I'll know
When I return if I can live
Without a smile to give
To those that care
Trust them I cannot dare,
But I won't just yet die
Because something still
Beats within my carcass;
For you lost apple of my eye
For you I will find the will
To amble out of this darkness...
