Premium MemberI Love You

I love you is not a statement
It is a fact
I love you is not mere words
It is the truth
My love for you equates my 
 desire for you.
Not suffering nor death can quench
  my love for you.
I am sold out for you, 
There is no room in my heart for
  any other but you

I love you is not a statement
It is my reality
I love you till eternity comes and 
 parts us
Not wealth nor poverty nor disease
  will diminish us
My love for you is beyond the fleshy feelings
It is deeply rooted in my soul and spirit.
Baby I love you dearly.


Premium MemberLightening my Darkness

We were conceived and born in sin
Shrouded in pitch darkness
The price written was death
Paid for by Adam as a price for 
 treasonable felony in death
Then darkness became our
  second nature, 
Our apparel and our cloak

Jesus stood in our place and
Paid the debt of our progenitor
He took upon Himself our burden
  and baggage of sin
Nailing it on the cross.
Declaring our freedom from the law 
  of sin and death 
Lightening our darkness
Illuminating Us with His light.

Premium MemberDuel of Death

Its the Sea horse and the Sea snake seemingly
 in an embrace 
Lo its the Sea horse and the Sea snake in a duet
A duet of life and death in an embrace 
The poisonous bite of the snake pierce into
 the horse.
It's a duel to the death in the salty sea waters 
with the snake standing.

Premium MemberHouse of Khloe ll

This is "House of Khloe" part two
Grand mama has long gone home
Free from disease and pains
Lo, at last our mama has joined Grand ma
In the heavenly assembly
What a sight what a glory that would have been 
 
Grand mama with her adage and admonition
And mama with her melodious voice
Joining the heavenly choir, laying down crowns
And raising the royal diadem in joyous celebration

We the house of Khloe are not mourning again
We also join the host of the heavenly choir
From earth we lay down the crowns as we bow in worship

Premium MemberThe dark valley



"O will you let me visit
the land of light and air
for just one day, to comfort
my friends and family there?

My mother must be weeping
against the courtyard door;
my sister goes in mourning:
though young, she sings no more;

my brother’s face is ashen,
and sorrow’s all his care;
my father’s age is withered
by grief too great to bear."

"No, girl, you may not visit
that land of light and air;
once come to this dark valley,
you’ve got no business there.

Your mother at her window
gossips of the town;
your sister’s plaiting ribbons
to deck her wedding gown;

your brother and his comrades
make long plans as they dine;
your father’s in the tavern,
smiling at the wine."

Premium MemberTHE LAND WHERE DEMONS LIVE

Down in the valley of Death 
Where the Demons live
Many a man has heard their call
Which has killed his soul

And at the altar where witches chant
Their dark spells out do fly
And many a man has lost his life
Bye and bye

This is the land where Demons live
Ravaging life and mind
And all the music of the universe
Is in their evil darkness cursed

This is the land where Demons live
A land of violence and crime
Covered with blood and endless tears
A land of hate and infinite fears

This is the land where Demons live
A land of war and death
Of poisoned wine from deep dark wells
And minds that live in inner Hells

This is the land where Demons live
A world of wretchedness and sin
Where dreams are all forever lost
As the wreck of their world is taken in

Premium MemberThe Ballad of the Pancake Brothers

two brothers hailed from the old country
from Donnybrook 
one more like an engineer
the other like a cook
they specialized in pancakes
the best, you can't deny 
Sean made them taste like heaven
Finn stacked them high

supplies came from all around
in wagons and in trucks
Sean whipped up the batter
and ol' Finn he constructs
with eggs from every chicken
and milk from every cow
maple syrup miracles
from the oats that they did grow 

when these flapjack masters
grew old and had to die
they made a stack of hotcakes
and they climbed it to the sky
kids, each time you eat griddle cakes
you should be like me
stack 'em high
and think of Sean and Finn McGee

Premium MemberSmoking!!

Can't wait,
   Need another cigarette 
   Need another drag
Nicotine pangs have come calling 
   Heart and lungs shout out
   Stop calling!!

Can't wait, can't stop the desire so strong
   Need another drag!
   And another drag!!
It's so smooth and soothing 
   So slick and soothing!
   Yet killing softly and slowly 

Nicotine has taken a hold
   Addiction has locked its fore
   It's a vice grip of death!
   Slow and steady death hold!!

Premium MemberClimate Change Permutations

Seasons
   the Earth's rotations
   the Earth's revolution
 Seasons
   the full moon
   the half and crest moon
   the moon's revolution.
 Industrial revolution
   man's achievement
 Industrial revolution
   Earth's doom
 Industrial revolution
   Man's demise

 Man's gain, Oxygen's loss
   Environment's loss
   Carbon's gain
 Green House gases
   Ozone's nemesis.

   (Written on the 20th of March, 2015)

 Flash floods, prolonged droughts
   Ozone's nemesis
 Excessive heat, extreme cold
   Ozone's nemesis.

 Every tree felling
   Is Oxygen's loss
   Is Carbon's gain
 Ozone layer depletion
   Humanity losing out
   In the end game.

Premium MemberMolly McBee

molly mcbee had a brogue that was thick
her gravelly voice scared her neighbor Brick
when he saw her coming he ran away
she laughed at this, showing her sense of play

here she comes, cute Molly McBee
She will be the death of Brick and me
Brick is hiding behind yonder tree
Please hide me from Molly McBee

Premium MemberI am a Virgin

I am a virgin, I have never been touched by a man since I was created.
I have never known  a man, I have never been logged, my features still remain intact.
I am a rainforest based in the Amazon basin of Brazil.

No logger has touched my growth, they come and go naturally
Life cycle turning full circle.
I am a virgin, I have never been logged by a logger.
I am a rainforest based in the Amazon basin of Brazil.

Premium MemberThe Ballad of Mickey McGee

Old smiling Mickey McGee

Cheated everyone he knew

As selfish as he could be

And of morals, he had few

He cheated playing poker

And he cheated on his wife

Just a real local joker

And a scoundrel all his life

One night while with a lady

Her husband caught them both in bed

His name was Sean O'Grady

Who shot Mickey in the head

Now on his wife you're gonna see

A wide and satisfied grin

Old smiling Mickey McGee

You know he'll never smile again

Premium MemberLaughter and Mirth Is Gone

Ever since you passed 
Away
The Mango tree has lost its 
Awe
The audience have all but 
Dispersed
And the laughter realm has long 
Ceased
Because our bossom friend is 
Deceased
Now we appreciate your charm and mirth
More so now we have need for a rebirth

You made life look like a
Joke 
Reducing the stress of life's
Yoke
Death's sting stole our laughter 
String
The merry go round droll is
Hurting
We your friends need to be very 
strong
All talk now is a chatter the mirth is dry
Gong
we are still missing you now
We remain strong and not to bow

Premium MemberBuried

As I am reminded, I look around 
I think the many been buried in time 
Only I see elders standing full crowd 
Buried deep in ground we lay them 
Buried deep our souls we keep them 

The young,so vibrant with ambition 
Killing themselves like society kills the world 
Drugs,guns, even that of sex is deadly 
A thrill to live, just to breathe 
Innocent robbed of their youthfulness 

Their ways are young as them days we've seen 
Where is it we went wrong or do they care 
Our teachings we fail holding tight a dream 
Not ourselves we pray but of life them to live 

Buried,our eyes closed in darkness 
Tears of pain run like a river flow 
What is it we learn except of death 
As we carry to grave a love one past 
A bright young youth buried under the grass

Premium MemberI Am a Warrior

I am a warrior and not a warmonger
The weapons of my warfare 
Are not of this world
But they are mighty through God

I am a warrior, enlisted in God's army
I don't carry an AK 47 or an SMG
Praise is my weapon through Almighty God
Who fights my battles

I am a warrior clad in spiritual armour
Through the sword of the Spirit I pull down strongholds 
By His shed blood, death is swallowed up in victory
I am a warrior of the end time army of God.
Have you enlisted?
