Best Anointing Poems
The Goddess dwells
in the high places. Her green mantle
flows over the slopes.
Waterfalls
cascade
in
silver
braids.
I lay down
among rocks and flowers
and felt her embrace,
and the waters of a mountain stream
anointed my brow.

The Holy Spirit is like the wind which, comes and goes
Cascading diamonds of Light....
Swept into the breeze; met by Clouds of comfort
Cherubs, whom disperse its Bright ~
Guardians and Messengers, sent, from the Glorious Throne upon high
Close your eyes and take a ride, to where and from; this Telling through Time....
Now standing at Sanctities threshold; those delicate Deliverers; Sublime
Idylically Endowed as the Psalmist; composed ~
By Passions loving Palms; this, the Pen of a ready Writer
To gaze upon the Stars; to bow before the Stone; a Cloak of many Colours....
A Fragrant perfume; as Oil dripping from a Honeycomb; gently
Such Sweetened myrrh of, Opulence ~
Beggers and Sojourners, sitting by the wayside
Wayfarers, now dead unto this World yet, so very Alive....
Myoptic vision, washed from priceless Souls and, Branded upon their Hearts
Piercings slicing through the night; Blessed Blades ~
Pantheons panes; Transcending, this Mortal glass
Revelations upon the Wings of Deliverence from, these Tales once told....
Rubies and Sapphires and Amethyst to hold; azimuthic Amulets
This Holy Spirit as the Wind which comes and, then goes ~
Cascading diamonds of such, Heavenly Light....

Someday soon,
I’m going to climb that mountain…
Maybe tomorrow,
I’m going to try to reach the peak,
Where I’ll never regret the climb up,
Because, with love, I find…
Forever, holds the answers I seek …
Someday soon,
I’m going to lasso the moon,
While the stars,
They’ll shimmer silent and sure,
Promising me a song,
Where all my wishes sing along…
Always, singing all night long…
Someday soon,
I’m going to shine like the Son,
In the blink of an eye,
All sorrows will surely be stilled,
The dark will lose its shadows,
Dreams will all come true,
Eternity, the believer’s day of beauty…
Someday soon,
I’m going to know the meaning of grace,
Where He is,
That is my heart’s hope, my place,
Nothing can destroy the love of His embrace,
When I meet Him, when I see His face…
Evermore, alive because I’m saved…
Someday soon,
I’m going to let go of the past,
Listen to the scriptures,
Who remind me that, with Him, I’ll know peace,
And, because He’s love,
I can always be sure of my redemption,
Endlessly, the wonder and love that has blessed me….
Someday soon,
I’m going to reach my destination,
That place called heaven,
Where there is magnificent I can’t explain,
It’s so amazing…
Only those who believe will enter in…
Infinitely, praising the One whose gone before…
Someday soon,
I’m going to shed this cloak of grief,
Meet my family,
Those who’ve found His sweet peace,
Reunited, we’ll all worship,
At the throne, we’ll know we’re finally home,
There with God, the joy of the soul…
Someday soon,
I’m going to pray for those souls,
The ones who don’t know…
It is Jesus who can comfort every heart,
Giving hope that cannot compare,
Anointing lives so they will truly care…
Ever and always, He’ll always be my prayer!
Someday soon,
I’m going to forget the reasons…
My heart was once fearful and worried,
Feel the comfort of One who created me,
There beside me, where I can finally see…
the One who died for me…
the One who set me free…
with Him, I’ll spend all eternity!

A woman who worshipped Jesus as Lord
anointed the head of him she adored.
“What a costly waste,”
Some said in distaste.
“It's for my burial what she has out poured”
Mark 14.3-9

Limerick
If there was just one thing I could change
I would request an odd divinity to ferment in an Elixir
Which never intoxicate, nor take the state beyond rationality
No one is an aftermath of coping, coping in understanding , way upstream.
As fallen shadows on a puddle of rainwater have nowhere to move or shift
Only a hazy vibrations tell them a lot, as eloquence are often that, just that
I can take a book that belongs to you, even without passing the faith test
And outside, the lonely balcony and a streak of a moonlit story, is still viable
I will wait for you there, your warmth, shirt and your a bit hardened posture these all,
I can still try to smell hair oil that slowly calms down a bird nest, in a placid way
And you can still surmise, after all these are turned down, and burned down,
“I was thinking about her, as, she could be a better one!”
Am I a transcribed poem? I often think these days.
Am I a sound, like an abacus on a motif, that knew today, gathering yesterday or before
As sunlight, dimmed prayer bids, these all are reaching, till none or nothing are there, in further need of anything
To debate, derail or to juxtapose even, in any specific way
I can rub your wrinkled skin, and wrinkle free attire, too.
You and I, and the nemo in an axis, of a world, as a dipthong, somewhere
The inevitable, frequency and the outlier, befitting for a fitting remnants!

The anointing is a power like no other power
By the power of the Word and the anointing God made all
Even down to the bees and the flowers
The anointing breaks curses, bands, fetters, and chains
The anointing brings in deliverance and cause it to rain
Blessings flow anointing flow
Lord I receive this power I just want more of You and I want to grow
Lord it is about you I will never really know
Enough for you are infinite and I am finite

Light Verse
Psalm 23:5 (KJV) 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
~~~
I’ve been asked, in friendly modes,
Is the glass half full or is the glass half empty?
For me, I know – I’ll ever know…
My glass is half full – my cup runneth over,
Flowing gently, with blessings I can’t begin to name,
Blessings so abundant – they put my doubts to shame,
They cause my heart to abide in the center…
Of gratitude, gratefulness and thanks,
For all the wonders that He brings – with this liquid,
His anointing oil, flavored with grace
And stirring hope within me.
I’ve been asked, in heartfelt incredulity,
Is the glass half full or is the glass half empty?
I don’t have words for the music in my heart,
Music brought to life by the colors of His light,
The hues of soundless beauty, the hope
It grows and grows, like the liquid love – devotion,
So phantastic – I know it’s everlasting,
Rousing my dreams, my yearnings, my wishes,
So that, even though mysterious,
I know what it is to discover the blessings in giving,
Pieces of my spirit, fluid motions of insight,
Wisdom from the peace that flows softly inside of me.
I’ve been asked, in whispers from my past,
Is the glass half full or is the glass half empty?
And, my truth…
He has blessed my heart and soul with His anointing,
And as it flows over my hopes, my thoughts,
There is no doubting, His love is forever calming,
Coloring me in joy, melodies of His solace,
Preparing me for the struggles that will come,
Silencing all the doubts that linger on,
Creating, inside me, assurance that, whatever I face –
I have no reason to fear because I share in His grace,
I know the love that prepares the way,
I know the light that reflects the God we praise…
God, who is my reason for thanks, my promise,
Yes, my cup runneth over – I’m so thankful I know Him!

(chorus)
All life seems so
dissapointing.
All you do
is social anointing.
All life seems so
unfulfilling.
All you do
is social killing.
The generations
And the future
Are in your hands
Taking you further
Than you've ever been
You're in so much demand
Taking every child
Woman and man
Seeking unsought fortune
And your unneeded
portion
(chorus)
All life seems so
dissapointing
All you do
is social anointing
All life seems so
unfulfilling
All you do
is social killing
The future
of our unwritten tradition
The change
of all in our nation
Taking the hope
of all who have none
Making life hard to cope
with for the small ones.
This is not you, this is not me.
This is our world.
This is what its gonna be.
(chorus)
All life seems so
dissapointing
All you do
is social anointing
All life seems so
unfulfilling
All you do
is social killing
(bridge)
Evolution is so
Hard to find
Evolution is so
Unruly and off time
And its too late
When you find
The apples in your orchards
Are limes
And the good deeds you've done
Are convicted crimes
(chorus)
All life seems so
dissapointing
All you do
is social killing
All life seems so
unfulfilling
All you do
is social killing
Tame your spirit
Tame your mind
Tame your feelings
Take a hold of time
Before its pushes you by
Remember me
And remember why
You've stayed with me
Don't forget our time.

THE ANOINTING
I came for the anointing, God’s power began to feel
As I came there believing that He could really heal.
It wasn’t in the oil, it wasn’t in the man,
It was in the obedience to God’s true, simple plan.
He said if sickness lingered, then for the elders call
And pray the prayer of faith then and God would heal them all.
The prayer of faith’s the answer, believing in His power
To touch me and to heal me within that very hour.
The healing may be gradual, and it may take some time,
But I am going to claim it as though it now is mine.
And if I need God’s working in doctor’s hands of skill,
I’ll seek it and apply it according to God’s will.
For now I know He’ll heal me because in faith I came
And followed His commandment and called upon His name.
He is the Great Physician; He heals with just a touch,
And through obedient servants He can do very much.
A man I know and trusted anointed me one day
And prayed to God in heaven to take this now away.
But though he was obedient to do what God commands,
I know I’ll get my healing through Jesus’ mighty hands.
So I came for anointing, not understanding how,
But somehow greatly sensing the time for me was now.
I felt a gentle presence of God there in it all
As I raised my hand toward heaven and to Him I did call.
And now I’ll watch the healing, believing it is mine
And knowing that the healing was His healing so Divine.

I lay at your feet -
I cry mercy Lord, mercy;
and you hold me fast.
For in Christ I die,
and yet, it comes as it may,
that in Christ I live.
I smell this portion -
of oil anointing my hands.
Oh praise be to God!

In secret temples, hidden from the sun
A false faith gathers, deceit is done
Gullible hearts, enslaved by design
Treasures drained, with prophetic lies divine
Their slogans echo, "Bring ye, bring ye"
Promising blessings, but delivering misery
To the obedient, a "bless ye" they say
But to the rebellious, "curse ye" each day
Elites and innocents, deceived and torn
Scriptural knowledge used to justify their scorn
Wolii, Pasito, Alfa, Malam, with strategies grand
Enriching themselves, at others' command
Unsolicited prayers, astrological feats
Deceiving the vulnerable, with wicked treats
Daughters, sons, and wives, in trouble abide
Property and inheritance, seized with pride
They claim divine right, a direct hotline
Their opinions supreme, actions unstinted and fine
"Lest thou touch the anointed of God" they cry
While craftiness impoverishes, and hope denies
Heaven's promise, a distant, fading light
Yet death's dark shadow, fills their hearts with fright
Mansions rise, empires grow, with oily gain
Anointing oils, aprons, handkerchiefs sold in vain
Armored convoys, bulletproof cars, their ride
A contradiction, to their heavenly pride
Their actions shout, "We fear, we hide"
While preaching courage, with a false, holy stride.

Lyric
I had not woken from sleep.
Feeling weightlessness, I peeked,
observing my body laid decease.
Slowly arisen to uncalmly peace,
realizing that I had passed in sleep.
Abnormal emotions so confused.
Just a nightmare I wished to be true.
I went to bed with just the flu.
I awakened!
And instantaneously surrounded,
by a warm aurora train like vessel,
hovered beyond me.
with an anointing ticket calling my name,
speaking softly a compelling phrase.
Telling me, do not be afraid,
welcome aboard Elysium Lane.
Like a Sheppard without sound the ticket,
spontaneous guiding my mind and
telepathy answering my thoughts.
Had I known, I would have prepared.
For this departure I wish to be spared.
Thinking for heaven’s sake,
someone had made a mistake.
Soon to be sixteen, I am too young,
so many goals left undone.
Way too soon, my life flashes in review.
My mom, dad and siblings what do they do?
Soon forced to accept unwelcome news.
The strain to them for boarding this train.
No joy to be had of sad skies to be gained.
Oh God the pain!
Who is to blame for such a mistake?
It is not my time, let me escape.
I am not prepared; they are not prepared.
Unscheduled departures never seem fair.
Leaving loved ones without a goodbye.
Is an incomplete sentence so unclear.
To question the who, what and why,
I was scheduled at this time.
No reasons can be given, nor to explain,
the guided ticket to ease the pain.
It may seem unscheduled and a skewed,
But this departure is on time for you!
There is nothing to argue, no one to blame,
You are on the manifest to board this train,
to leave, so get on aboard please!
As I crossed the threshold on to the train.
A calm resonates into Godly hood I became,
at once relieved from all pain.
The lighter I feel the ease to go gets brighter.
My awareness flares so bright and clear,
as if I had been blind,
and now really seeing for the first time.
It is okay, I am okay, it is okay!
I have reached divine!
Wish to view my parents knowing,
that I am fine and I now see.
What seemed to be an unscheduled,
was a departure, meant to be!

Let my hands anoint you. Let my eyes gaze deep into your world. Let my mouth transcend you into a different horizon. Let the seeds of our soul flourish into the greatest of wisteria.
