I saw it in a vision
the day of my own death
in your arms you held me
until released my own last breath
I've been waiting for the moment
where you'll finally know what's real
that the person who really loves you
will always be your shield and seal
I placed myself between you
where entered the deadly dart
every moment I was with you
priceless till it pierced my heart
and silent is the grave
where until raised up I'll sleep
like those who went before me
until the keys unseal graves keep
Whether righteous you or wicked
all will to the dust below
every soul that is living
to the place they call Sheol
For dust are you and will return
neath the alter you will rest
until the life and resurrection calls
remain you in grave as guest
For there is a time appointed
when Christ all dead will call
aforetime it was scheduled
that this death would spread to all
I knew long before this occurred
I would place myself as shield
that your life was worth the giving
and my life would rest afield
Where I can say I loved you
until the very last
this is the Lords example
the mold from which we're cast ...

Once broken,twice bitten.
By rampaging searches got I bliss.
Celebrations of wishes have I eaten.
On the first blissful night,the bride I kiss.
Oh heavens! To the tune of "ogene" dance.
Shower the earth,this I ask.
And to the bride calleth he Constance.
Tell to the world this,I give thee this task.
Aforetime preceded royal rumble.
Hither,he stood with muscles flexed.
At this stance,he wouldn't with his words fumble.
Time came his thoughts shown perplexed.
Once bitten,twice broken.
Because predecessors past had a curse cast.
Be-curse my blissful token.
Now these turned past.
Curse be bliss
Curse be me
Curse be these fleeces
My miscellaneous penchant thus flee
i take my stance
abandoned on these
desolate tracks of life
that seem to lead
to road blocks
and dead ends
blandishment
weakens an already
dying heart
temporarily
before
it batters
a soul
if caution came
aforetime
like a warning
on train tracks
perhaps
i could halt
impact
before
it implodes
my heart
Yea if a man labours in pain
If not in the Lord, he labours in vain
But whatever a man finds to do
Be he even unto his master and to God be true
Even in his ministry to God above
Let it be cheerfully a sincere labour of love
For Christ laboured even to wash feet
And Paul condemned he that labours not to not eat
And ye are called into heights above the surface
In unity and maturity towards works of service
For even faith without works is dead
For by a working Master we are led
We are called for such a time as this
For works prepared aforetime and with apportioned grace
The will and the ability also built in us
That our days be spent in the pleasure of bearing the onus
For the awaiting judgment will weigh the deeds
A presentation of harvest, not of unsown seeds
HAPPY LABOUR DAY
Don't tell me to go when you need me to stay
Don't tell me 'no' when you mean 'yes'
Let's be truthful to each other
We need not feminise life issues
No where was it written aforetime
That ladies should say opposite of what they mean
When I said 'I love you', I didn't mean the opposite
When I said 'I want forever', I didn't mean the opposite
So why tell me to leave when you're bleeding inwards?
I'm genuine
Can you be that same with me?
Let's be 'one' and not 'you and me'
Let's be bound in one
Just tell me what you want
Be plain
I want your heart to be for me
I'm your man
You be my woman
You be my Queen
Let me the King in your story
Tell me your heart
Let our hearts communicate
Let's be different
Others might be the opposite sayers
Remember we don't have the same fingerprint
Let's choose to be different
Let's be honest with each other
I love you and I mean it
I want you and I mean it
I want the best for you
But remember to be truthful with me
I trust you to do same as I am with you
The lost Gem
With a sunken heart
l uttered a wail
one that sings
of a direful loss
ravaging the heart
with rhythms of soulless beats
far sighting a scene
fuddled by a murky sight
l began to stutter
as l saw sight a scene
which were aforetime a gem
now rubbished with germs
Had a moment to collect the tickets
Punching out the timecard to the apocalypse
A striptease stripper with syntax and enjambment
Graphic designer's valviloculus pleristaminis in an ordinary garden
Many try to pluck me as a weed
Aforetime rose from a park of simplicity
Frozen in a piece of sap, timeless; the shears remain
Closing their fists to pump in the air polluted with rabble
Always aiming fingertips at me
They never hear the caoineadh at the end of the block
Now I sit attentive, straight because I want to, and middle fingers up
Voice echoes that silences their babble
"All that power, and you aim it at the one helping others"
Shift in their stature but rictus in their feature
Unlike most times my voice is softest
"I've watched you let something beautiful die for the hue
Our ténèbres shade on the petals flew
Now it is alabaster, what say you?"
A murmuring mobster-made man moved maliciously
"You write horror that terrifies people
We don't want to be afraid anymore"
My feet slid on that cobblestone sidewalk towards him
"Then use your gifts as a weapon like you did in this moment
Why do you think you're afraid of my writing?"
The wind picked up speed and the sky became nightmarish
Rain poured in tidal waves, a bloodbath
"You killed poetry... and I'll never let you all forget that
You're afraid of failure... can still do something to save literature"
He shook his head side/side slowly
"We choose empathy"
"... well I choose Hurricanes"
Lightning in violet flowers above
One by one mechanical snakes slithering up, anacondas
Any that approached me were met with plasma
For a moment me that man and I made eye contact
Before he was wrapped, slowly squeezing out every word
Then swallowed whole and absorbed as data
Serpents hiss dial-up before leaving/leaving behind entrails
What was left for ourselves, for our children's children?
Pandora, I'm sorry, it can't be closed, hope is tainted
It keeps rising, waist, chest, neck, sanguinary baptism
My thoughts as the taste of iron kisses my lips
Was there anything but darkness, where is the light?
... It never existed, a myth that never came true
... I'll die knowing I did what I could, my hand remains unethical
"Astramentous inkling in a crystal bowl"
