The thing I do to be nearer to him,
Commuting even in weather so grim.
The things I do to have more acceptance,
Cleaning his home for a much better chance.

The bus I go northbound in drives down memory lane,
As I reminisce about what he and I once were, in silent pain.
The bus I go eastbound with shows...

lightning punching down,
                     fast, blinding, loud – blood pain

Silver shiny, careful summer droplets
                    Caresses and cool their naked sunburned bodies

~My True Story 16 Years Of War~

!6 years of living in fear every minute, 16 years living with barely 
any electricity,water, food,hurt from humiliation standing 
in line for hours to maybe obtain a loaf of bread for my children, 
some days due to lack of water, we would shower from the pouring 
rain on the...

its a thirst thats hard to quench you did it well, 
we all draw water from the well in the cellar, to go, inter-stellar 
in our minds deep dive divine intertwined by the roots we start to slow time 
but it seems refined the present danced in a line, we had a good rhyme, 
but...

Crying out to God for preservation
for He's the one to find refuge
confessing to God Himself you're my Lord
what a privilege to know He who is huge

Many sorrows afflict the ungodly
their names God will disown
for the Lord, I've chosen as my lot
in His presence, His glory is known

My lines have gone deep down
where life's pleasant once...

nature gazing at herself
longing for her youth

Proverbs is full of great wisdom
having complete trust in its word
leads you in the way of righteousness
any other route is totally absurd

Don't trust in your own sight
be sure to display godly reverence
turn yourself away from all evil
fear the Lord your God in His night

You can't do these two things
for fearing God is hating evil
all types...

Prayer is the means God's given
that we can speak to God above
this God is eternal drawing on us
to fellowship with the God of love

Scripture tells us to make time
for God's ears are constantly on call
but the question is are we open
or do we think we just stall?

If we don't spend time in prayer
why don't we?...

Keep me safe O God,
For in you I take refuge
I said to the Lord:-
“You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing,”
My God, in you my heart rejoices,
You are the life or freedom my soul seeks,
In you O Lord, I find truth, peace, love and life.
Eternity is the air you breathe,
Goodness is...

Don't talk to her she's in a slump
Have you seen her belly bump?
Its beyond belief that she's so young
What kind of family is she from

Doesn't she have a mom and dad
Where were they while she was bad
She'll never finish her education
That poor girl she needs salvation

What about the father does she know his name
She was...

As they reach the golden gates,
turning, they do face the foe,
the Arlaghs,
they would come with power and might,
too kill,
the ground will shake when they charge,
they shall run hard for their meal,
always hungry is the Arlagh.
Come then forth, to meet your fate,
you hounds of Hell,
hesitate not, you hounds of Hell,
the time of your death may be...

I made a scrumptious chocolate birthday cake just for you
My only wish, I could deliver it, across the pond to you!

For two years straight, you stood behind me daily.
A trophy, you do deserve, not one day, but three
hundred sixty five, times two, for contacting by
comment or soup mail, you never failed me!

Such a unique poet...
