Best Belongs Poems
Strewn by knitted spines and a tail,
with ribbons on its hair, bright flowing
visions hover along an azure sky. Gracefully,
the flight takes a diamond shape as if to roam
away in some twirling prance. And as it slowly faded
from sight, the little boy on the beach giggled
and tugged the braided loop calling his paper wing,
“ Come back; I’ll have to pull you in.” But it waved on
like an entranced sail kissing the clouds; till near dusk
marked the rising moon…quietly, he rested on the sand
to gaze at the breezy sky again; this time a bit aware
the kite he handmade and loved won’t come back…
for it is up above where its home belongs.

My glucose is too high
My salt test says it could kill me
My weight is over the limit by a pound
My X-ray is dark and dim
But, the butter finger she wants to give
Take your pants down and put on the gown
While slickering up her finger
As I gasp for air
Really I say!
Can’t this wait for another day?
Bobby, do you want to die
No, I say
But really can’t this wait for another day?
Give me a Twix or a snicker bar
But gee wiz Doc why the butter finger?
Today is just not my lucky day!
What kind of Doctor is she
She doesn't even know what candy I like
I feel your spirit in the trees
As your blessed birds
Surround me with their song.
That first warm sip
Of morning tea,
My closed eyes,
deep long breaths
As I meditate and
I sense your divineness in me.
I feel your breath upon my cheek
In a caressing breeze
That wanders by,
That faintest floral scent
That lingers in the air
Lets me know
You are everywhere.
I feel one with the rising sun
As twilight skies
Gently morph from lavender to blue,
And your fingers of light behind
Silver clouds subtlety filters through.
I am thrilled to spend
Another glorious day with you.

The hailings in the coridor of corruption
to the echoes of silence in the streets
Sirens whispering tales of wars
marines marching on looted lots
Justice is strangled by corrupt claws
Listen to the thunderstorm of civil lies
Masses keep mute in the well of woes
dreaming of dead democratic dividends
Ghosts pay the piper in Abuja malls
Poor traders dance naked in Alaba markets
The mother hen crows in the mourning
Our golden eggs are in one battered basket...
Strangers preen in the pomp of power
Danger sleeps on the lawn of loyal lies
Listen to the tales of ego from the west
He beats his chest with his tied claws
Echoes of error ran the errand quickly
gushing out of the gutter of grandiosity...
He belongs to nobody and picks nobody
Somebody actually belongs to somebody
I do not know the poultry she belongs
His living room and kitchen are his choice
She is confined to care, clean and cook...
Why bury the glow of the golden egg
washing down the wealth in her womb?
Why rock heaven's roof with tantrums?
She is not just the bed sinner of your world
but the queen of all golden layers
and players
even if she belongs to the other room.
We were two pathetic fools
who believed in fables,
but our fable wasn't real;
oh, can these deep wounds heal?
We thought everything would be really fine,
we didn't have a plan, we weren't that wise;
nothing belongs to us, not even memories,
nothing belongs to us, and we regret all lies!
We burned kisses one August night, hot was the fire;
now, we look at each other without showing a surprise!
Lips are meant to be kissed,
arms are meant to be held;
we are two islands unreachable and cold...
we won't break the silence with a word!
Nothing belongs to us, this is very sad;
nothing belongs to us, we threw away all we had!
To be one soul takes a strong commitment,
true lovers always stay together to avoid regret!
Unblemished One, who knew no sin,
Suffered faithful, our souls to win.
For sinners, Jesus' blood was poured.
All glory belongs to the Lord!
Sing praises to the God of life
Who provides hope, conquers all strife.
He rose again; His spirit soared.
All glory belongs to the Lord!
Forgiving all unholy deeds,
With stunning love, His spirit leads.
He gives us grace none can afford.
All glory belongs to the Lord!
Give us strength to mimic the same:
Faith, hope, and love in Jesus' name.
Let us rejoice in one accord!
All glory belongs to the Lord!

You the omnipotent and Merciful For All,
O my Lord !All power belongs to You,
Whether who is Muslim or infidel doesn’t matter,
Your blessings are uncountable through,
Rainfall or waterfall cold breeze to warm,
Mountain to land , Sea or the endless sand,
Heat or Cold ,everything we hold,
The measure of everything in your hand,
Whom You will grant, Woe or pleasure ,respect or contempt,
Life and Death, wealth and poverty,
Your dignity and beneficence cover the whole world,
Though the vast eternal is your Sovereignty ,
Mitigate the burden of crimes, Supplicate for forgiveness,
We are your sinful creature, pardon us clemently,
Rogation for real success, show us the right way,
As You listen to those who don’t have tongue and they utter silently!!!

There's a gal I know by the name of Joyce
A dear sister of mine but I didn't have a choice
So she'll have to do
Though she belongs in a zoo
All brothers tease sisters, it's our job to annoy

MY HEART BELONGS TO WALES..............
Where the seas blue waters rise and fall,
Where the velvet hills stand strong and tall.
When the voice of bygone years does call,
I know where my heart belongs.
Where the voices of all angels sing,
In a stadia built fit for a king.
With a pride that's borne from deep within,
I know where my heart belongs.
As spring time flowers caress the lands,
Grass clad mountains and golden sands.
A passion that my past commands,
I know where my heart belongs.
When I come home, with friends I'll be,
In my homeland where my heart is free.
No prouder people than such as we,
My heart belongs to Wales.........
My heart I found belonged to you;
ached to be by your side again!
And wondered did you love me too?
Or had you missed a vital clue,
and suffered I alone in vain?
My heart I found belonged to you.
While this discovery yet was new,
I wept to feel my heart might drain,
and wondered did you love me too?
The depth of feeling inward grew,
I fought composure to maintain!
My heart I found belonged to you.
I thought about what might ensue,
if I should make my feelings plain!
And wondered did you love me too?
I fret now over time we knew,
innocent past would fain sustain!
My heart I found belongs to you,
and wonders do you love me too?
Another night surrounds me
In this God forsaken place
Deafened by the silence
As tears roll down my face
All we were together
I never dreamed I’d go
From being someone who you loved
To who you used to know
Voices ring inside my head
Desperate to be heard
Scream out in the darkness, but
I never hear a word
Wasting yet another day
Living in the past
I know I have no future
While I hide behind this mask
Staring at the telephone
Still waiting for your call
I’d rather have you hurting me
Than not have you at all
I'm holding onto yesterday
And every memory
Living in the shadows
Of who we used to be
Though you're gone…you're everywhere
Nothing feels the same
How can I move on
When my heart still beats your name…
I only pray that someday soon
You will finally see
That while my heart belongs to you
Yours still belongs to me...

You're the first person I think of
Each morning when I rise
You're the last person I think of
at night when I close my eyes
You're in every thought I have
And every breath I take
My love is growing stronger
With every move I make
I've proven that I love you
these words are overdue
I'm giving all I have to give
because my heart belongs to you
As I wondered through these walls..
I was making comments unto thee
But than I felt something
was not right
as I flipped on through
to read the next write
than I seen.. words
display.. portrayed..
were not very good
about taking hold
of someone soul
But as I must say
No one can take mine away
For I belong to Ony one
Jesus Christ
Forever Now
And even when time comes
He gives Eternal life...
Many think they can have
whatever they want
even another persons soul..
to try to have control..
over their minds.. hearts.. feelings
emotions.. basically to gain power over their lives
lives of another
this is not right
God has His Divine Reasons
He gave His only begotten Son
Jesus Christ...
To Set us Free..
Jesus is Whom I follow
Jesus has my Life
Heart Soul body and mind
I Love Him Now and Forever
Through-out time...
Come to Jesus...
Christ is Divine...
Do you think this world needs some mending? Anger, vice, hate abounds.
Take a good look, wars, killing, famine, and diseases pestilence, all around.
What this world needs is love, something man will never know.
Carnal selfish man wanting what he knows not, getting through life somehow.
Our Father long ago scattered men to the far ends of this earth, confusing men and languages.
The thing that men forget? It’s the Father, He has the final say, all the rest is gibberish.
The Eternal stands above and observes His creation, the fallen man.
God the Father in His infinite wisdom experimented with carnal man, gave him choices, Understand?
With His choice Adam ate from the tree of knowledge not the tree of life.
Adam, in his carnal mind wanted what God had the tree of knowledge, the serpent tricked the wife.
Willy, deceitful, evil Spirit one that sinned in His vanity, was cast to this earth.
Waiting treacherously for Eve to make Adam make the choice, God knew this was going to happen even before Adam’s birth.
The Holy Bible, God’s plan, His mystery reveals that’s so, God wanted Adam’s obedience and His love.
A gift, the tree of life the way to true happiness, from God above.
You can’t have lukewarm faith, like Adam’s, remembering God’s plan is for us to enter the Kingdom it’s our choice.
The Supreme One God, a patient tolerant loving Spiritual Father, He wants your Spiritual happiness and voice.
Adam by choice failed so his children were doomed to physical, emotional, ailing, sickness and death.
God made us in His image He put in Adam a special place, gave him life and his first breath.
Our Father is everywhere He gives His love to whomever he chooses, now, you as a part of that seed, what will you do?
Make worldly things important, or take heed and make the choice to obey God’s laws and return to the Kingdom that the Father has made for me and you?
Our Father the true God of this universe, His “Word” has stood the test of time,
To obey the deceiver of men and his fallen angels is the real crime.
Jesus had the choice, and He died for our sins and stood spiritually strong.
Our Father, The Holy Spirit, and Jesus are there for us, He wants to be obeyed and keep us safe and spiritually strong.
