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.
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.
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.

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
"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."

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
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
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!!

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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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?
