The first encounter, a jittery state,
I was a whirlwind of nerves for a pivotal date.
He messaged and reached out, a gentle touch,
making me feel like I mattered so much.
In the heat of his day, I was Number One,
the spark of a romance had finally begun.
We sat for a meal, the mood was just right,
with pasta Carbonara—my purest delight.
But then came the horror, a tragic display:
he tackled his pizza the "gentleman" way.
With a fork and a knife, he sliced every piece,
I prayed for the soul of that pizza to cease.
Despite the sad cutlery, humour was there,
a funny, sweet energy filled up the air.
When he leaned in to kiss me, the world fell away,
a "treasured and seen" kind of magic, I’d say.
I felt truly valued, a feeling so rare,
like every soft word was a gift or a prayer.
The night reached its end near the parking lot light,
and his chivalry seemed to have taken a flight.
He stood by the door with a wave and a grin,
while I looked at my car and the darkness within.
"You’re walking me there!" I asserted with pride,
and he marched to my door, right there by my side.
Not succumbing to eternity
at a death bed, but at the cross
My Saviour and Lord gave up the ghost…
According to the Scriptures in John 19:30,
“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar,
he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.”
Yes, at His crucifixion, He declared, “It is finished.”
Such was and is always a statement of great triumph
Reverberating God’s compassion toward every human
Offering His gift of eternal life to sinners like you and me.
Indeed, He uttered, “It is finished.”
Such is His assurance of everlasting redemption
Reaching-out to those who believe His sacrificial work
By faith… believing Him as the way, the truth, and the life.
Gloriously, He proclaimed, “It is finished.”
Such is now my vibrant hope as I strive and persist
To share the Gospel, testifying of His loving kindness
And by His grace, cheering others with His peace and joy.
With His omnipotence, He asserted, “It is finished.”
Such keeps me going on, persevering to do my best
Maximizing opportunities for functional role-performance
So that when I face Him, I’ll say, “By Your mercy, I finished the race.”
Visual premise of extreme stipulation of emergency declaration.
1. Soldiers on ground in real time in the state being represented.
2. Unaffordable Wage
3. Wages presence indicates War Acts in 24 response.
4. Loss of life cannot be interfered with, only observed.
5. Caution at and as Post to remind one need deploy declaration as executive order and gather haste to governance. Governance is governors post.
6. Turn the war positive in retrieve of life in doors as much as actual document and improve.
7. Federal violations of code meaning we cannot create life in language only by asserted commands.
Removal of Post has no observation above?
You wished God upon another's certificate as pork?
The agency of volume created by poet
Resigned post is record in failures sums
Greed and impotent arrogance
Threat is well aware of its hiding
Convict it as yourself follow conveigniently
to the slaves prison as slave for
slaves wage is feed
My teacher who thought sun-bathing made her well-red,
graded me average, she was mean to the power hundred.
She was once a banker, but after some time lost interest,
wanted to be a pilot, so her career could take off for the best.
She thought to be able to fly high, could be truly uplifting,
instead she bought a boat, for in the sea it was for sail drifting.
She was an optimist, her blood type was B-positive, they stated,
but the doctor said it was Type-O, the mistake was corrected.
Her memory was photographic, but she couldn’t fully develop it,
she needed to alter a brain part, changed her mind the last minute.
When she stole neighbor’s lamps, he couldn’t be more de-lighted,
a picturesque girl, she landed in jail, “I was framed”, she asserted.
Altho' it's not E=mc squared,
Albert was heard to theorise
when he declared,
"Carrots are relatively good for the eyes,
it's a fact
they'll make you see well and look good too,
I'm blinding you with science,
it's not hoodoo or a voodoo act."
He then asserted,
with a wicked grin,
"It only hurts when you put them in."
Departed
Afforded
Lamented
Asserted
Loved one
prevails the show
Unanimously a go!
The love song echoed
Among the picturesque hills.
They laughed despite their shrill voices.
Trees tremble as leaves fall.
Golden Autumn was approaching.
Still, all is fresh and alive.
Above, clouds rushed among the dark purple trees.
The whispering leaves, the humming breeze,
As large geese flew towards the south.
Yet robins would not be left behind.
Whilst Dunnocks used their song
As they asserted their dominance with their mates.
Yet suddenly, the sky darkens, threatening,
The two lovers ran toward their sleek car.
A timeless dance of pitter-patter
The rhythm of light raindrops gave them warmth,
They had prepared a delicious assortment of eatables.
Then switching up their radio,
Left the vale and drove into the broad thoroughfare
Towards their cosy and spacious house in the town.
My GOD is the self-existent “I AM*”
asserting “I am the Alpha and Omega
the beginning and the end.”
To me, He said:
“I am the Almighty God; walk before me.”
My GOD declares “I am the way, the truth, and the life”
emphasizing “I am the resurrection”
Who grants secured salvation
as well as deliverance from iniquity's penalty.
My GOD testifies,
“I am the light”
and He keeps on illumining
guiding, directing me with His truth.
My GOD provides continually
since He announced,
“I am the bread of life”
supplying and sustaining me.
My GOD surely is my everything
for without HIM, I am nothing indeed
as His presence reverberates to me:
"I am the good shepherd."
*Exodus 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM...
John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

With praises and thanksgiving to God, the Giver of gifts, I am expressing my gratefulness for the gift of Poetry Soup lifetime premium membership that has been bestowed upon me this day. Thanks likewise to the vessel used by the Lord as a channel of blessing to serve as my benefactor. This is indeed an answered prayer as I have been a member of this poetry site since April 9, 2018. Moreover, this endowment is surely an evidence of faith that claims God's assurance, asserted in Jeremiah 33:3, “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.”

Characters in action
Talents in multiplication
Shapes and sizes of many version
Skills on display with tension
Over the top ropes one would gape
Under the ropes one can escape
Apron of thick mattress
Arena of countless matches
Highlighted are dressed to kill
Fronting the crowd that fill
Seats of spectators that cheer
Feats of competitors, not jeer
Matches roll with blunder
Rumbling and grappling like thunder
Crutches and splints spread over
Bodies of the bruised fall over
Grueling matches live on
Under any pressure show must go on
It's not "business as usual" that linger
Players of theatrics in danger
Venues are slated by dates
Participants stipulated as mates
Previews of expected bouts
Reviews that excite and shouts
Year after year is the Rumble
Inside the ring that crumble
Event that sounds so noble
Fame, not fortune that bubble
A prelude to Wrestlemania
An interlude of regalia
A shot coveted in spotlight
A spot asserted with delight
Let's get ready to rumble!...
Dedication is to my Friends who avoid judging:
You are not the judge
But judge you must
For earthly matters and such
Leave hell to satan or demons
But Heaven in fragrances of your words:
Epitaph, apology, poetry, piety, congrats - -
Even angels fall, why not us (Adamic) mortals -
When pride and ego explode in ungodly challenge!
NoTE:
Between writing, editing, posting this simple offering ... the good & bad in Me & of South Africa today, asserted themselves: our electricity brownouts & blackouts affect internet, editing, posting, and consistent connection. My one service provider, MTN, has been back today for a few hours now (after more than a weak of zero internet connectivity). You pay a price: seeing many versions of this JUDGEMENT poem. Shalom
My teacher who thought sun-bathing made her well-red,
graded me average, she was mean to the power hundred.
She was once a banker, but after some time lost interest,
wanted to be a pilot, her career could take off for the best.
She thought to be able to fly high, could be very uplifting,
instead she bought a boat, for it was for sail and tempting.
She an optimist, her blood type was B-positive, they stated,
but the doctor told it was Type-O, the mistake was corrected.
Her memory was photographic, but she couldn’t develop it,
she was to alter a brain part, changed her mind last minute.
