Best Consume Poems
Reveled in ancient times, words escape from the crevices of nature
Through soils that many have tread
The living and the dead
Eat everything and take a great big look
Something is waiting for you—someone is there for you
The history of mankind will not tell you otherwise
The vines of truth and peace surround your being
You are something new and true
And the words are willingly fleeing from my grasp
Life is a spinning top—it spins as long as you keep it going
Manmade trinkets are concepts of lives untold
Objects hold energy that are more powerful than mere words
The feeling behind the whole of it all is all too satisfying
Listen to the breeze
It whispers riddles that lift the spirits of the deep
I can hear it calling
Can you?
Humanity has closed its breadth of hearing
But they can always reopen!
Consume me—let the fires of your passion envelope me
I want to know everything I can before I leave this world behind
I want the living and the dead to be satisfied in luxuries
Luxuries of love, appetite, desire and cool water fire
There is a secret rhythmic chord in every brain
You must accept yourself
You must accept your surroundings
Let them curl all around you—let your heart turn from serpentine to
Clear fluid
Consume the waters
Consume me
Before the worms in the soil soak in what is rightfully yours
The earth will be your companion
Engorge what you may . . . but respect
Don't let hate consume you
it will eat you alive,
make you hateful and bitter
your life will take a nosedive.
You'll grow old much faster
way before your time,
let the love you feel in your heart
be set free, let it shine.
It's hard not to hold a grudge
especially if your heart's been hurt,
let God deal with those persons
think of them as dirt.
Just walk away from them
turn the other cheek,
what goes around, comes around
be yourself, mild and meek.
It's okay to feel angry
you have every right,
don't let hate consume you
never let it keep you awake at night.

God will punish those in the end, that decided to make your life so hurtful and horrible, that you just can't take it anymore. Don't sink to their level. You are much better than they are.
Be still, my,love
Please don't move away from me
I love the way your body consumes me
When I look at you,
I Immersed in your flesh,
The smell of your skin so sweet,
The very scent of it consumes me
Don't say a word my love
For your eyes speak everything I long to hear
The passion of your unspoken words consume me
Reach for me my love
spread your wings, and covet me,
The strength of your warmth consumes me
Allow me this time
To love you gently,and kiss you softly
Let your warmth take over and consume me
For I promise you my love
I shall never forget this moment
And the way your love consumed me
Ninafungua moyo
Kuhatarishwa na sehemu
mhemko wangu hukimbia
Mungu naomba unitumie
O’ My God, My Lord please consume me
Ole nimevunjika na kupasuka
Roho yangu imechakaa
Ee Mungu, Bwana Wangu
Tafadhali tumia
O’ My God, My Lord please consume me
Tumia kwa upendo
Nitumie kwa rehema rehema
Nitumie ili labda nizaliwe mara ya pili
Nipe tumaini
Kurudia zote mbili
Dhambi zangu, uchaguzi wangu mbaya
Tafadhali Bwana Mungu
Nitumie
O’ My God, My Lord please consume me
Lord have mercy
Have mercy on my ravished soul
Lord have mercy
O' My Lord, My God please consume me

I see it in you, waning, in broken pieces everyday,
That fall away and you let them,
Sun soaked diamond chips
Like broken chimes on a marble floor.
This silence produces an ominous screaming,
A falcon circling in the dry desert sun
Gliding on imaginary air
Screaming the anticipation forth,
As the last piece delicately falls
He dives to his prey.
You cannot hold yourself together.
Pray that I will.
“Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need." Quote Mother Teresa
Life is so precious and temporary,
we’re given life yet destined to die.
In each moment of life, choose to
be happy, pursue it, embrace it
welcome and acknowledge it!
Let it fill your soul until it overflows
and it touches everyone you meet.
One doesn’t know when their time
on this planet is coming to an end.
Live in this moment and be happy!

-Less is best
but more gives you more
why question that?
explore
thoughts deeper
get educated!
less is not favored
more is anticipated
-less requests less
-did you know that?
-things less demanding
-coexist in fact
more makes an impact
more makes you large
therfore crush the less
be in charge
have the best
-when you want more
-you chase more
-you're loosing your soul
-keep filling up
-filling up
-that big empty hole.
We are depleting our planet little by little while taking what we need
perhaps this is the time to give back to Mother Earth and plant a seed
Imagine yourself in the forest picking chanterelles, like times of old
Wild animals running free, deer panting by the river with eyes of gold
Take a deep breath in, (hold) breathe out
Giant trees with leafy arms that encircle you with love and breeze
they talk to you in whispers, about the magical ignite of precious soil
Best part of you is now immersed inside this magical embroil
you are part of the whole, part of everything that breathes
Take a deep breath in, (hold) breathe out
Place your back against the trunk of a tree and allow the energy to enter
Up in the heavens the angels are sending you rays of golden sun
Your creator is re-shaping you like a soft pliable piece of clay
he wants you back tot he original shape of the creature you once were
Take a deep breath in, (hold) breathe out
You own blessed hands, a blessed heart and a capable body that works
give thanks for the gift of living, give thanks to Mother Earth
and the One who has given you life, you are loved beyond all measure.
His darkness can’t consume me anymore
Dust in my eyes from the truth within the world
Dust in the eye’s of God, tornados and tidal waves destroying us
And beneath deep in the earth she will swallow you
White with hate for the light above,
Above and white she is the real woman, the real beginning in hate
But darkness is the end?
Yes but, light is the in between where I reside
Between her white lie and his dark hate
Light is the in between swallowed by false men
Black brother holding her hand
My light, my light
I shall send you closed to her deep in the earth brother, father
Deep where your white lies in fear of the light
Because you covet the light
Let light go I have her in the bosom of the sun
Here in front of the earth where she hates light to reside
Here with me until night returns Alaskan nights have ended Sweet death in the
air, the smell of you in the earth rotten with hate
I am woman, the poison that will rebuild the earth
Light resides in me, and will reside in me again
Away night my days are ahead of me light before me in this tunnel of hate light
behind me I see freedom
I tasted freedom from darkness his hand reaches to pull me back in to darkness
light reaches before me and…………………..
Freedom from this man can only be achieved with the love of my child
A smile so achingly perfection
Only hiding evil buried deep inside
Emptiness and destruction is all you leave behind
Your love consumes me, burns me from within
Leaving only darkness, where there once was light.
Now I’m just a shell, no not even that
More a memory of the me that disappeared
As you caressed me with your deadly touch
Your love it consumed me, burned me from within
Hidden scars eternal, a reminder of your deceptive evil
How is it you still consume me when there’s nothing left to take
Only a hollow void where there once was life
Yet you’re an obsession I just can’t let go
Even as I turn to leave, we know it’s not the end
Only a matter of time, until I’m back again.
Ruins of the thirst for destiny, we consume ourselves in our own desire to be,
Our weakness, the key to the historical future, has reduced us to nothingness,
Yet it also saved us, gifting us the taste of collapse, sweet and dizzying,
We yearn for an event that surpasses all events,
A fear that transcends all fears, embracing us with cold arms.
Catastrophe, the only solution, post-history, the only remaining opportunity,
We wonder if humanity might be better off dissolving itself now,
Rather than fading slowly, sinking into hopeless waiting,
Exposing itself to an era of agony, risking the loss of all ambition,
Even the ambition to disappear, to melt into the void of eternal oblivion.
We are trapped between two abysses, that of existence and non-existence,
Dancing on the edge of the precipice, drunk on our own mortality,
We dream of a grand finale, an apotheosis of the human species in decline,
But perhaps our end will be as banal as life itself,
A whisper in the cosmic wind, a speck of dust in the vastness of the universe.
Oh, fragile humanity, clinging to the thin thread of vain hope,
Are you ready to abandon your millennial struggle, to surrender to cruel destiny?
Or will you find within yourself the strength to transcend the limits imposed by fate,
To rise from your own ashes, like the Phoenix of mythology?
The answer lies hidden in the depths of our collective soul, silent and mysterious.
Mungu- Bwana Wangu
Tafadhali tumia- O' God My Lord
Please consume Me
I open heart
To endangered to parts
My emotions run free
God please consume me
Alas I'm broken and torn
My spirit is worn
O' God, My Lord
Please consume
Consume in love
Consume me in mercies grace
Consume me so that I maybe born again
Give me the hope
To relinquish both
My sins, my wrong choices
Please Lord God
Consume me

We were born to create, but deceived to consume.
Slave state
We repeat what has already been had. At our best we simply change what someone else has made.
Regurgitate
Remove for one day or even a week the stimuli that keep us entertained.
Click bait.
And you’ll discover just how lame you really are as you bore yourself to death.
Desolate.
Like eating oatmeal every day for every meal.
Frustrate
You will tire of the tapes in your head. Loath the same tunes you hum unwittingly and you’ll damn that annoying whistle.
Irritate.
You will grow weary of your own conversation and wish for the silent treatment. You will crave anything new.
Stalemate.
And then you’ll know just how uncreative you really are when you face your inability to have an original thought. Blank paper.
Checkmate.
A memory of the past will not do. Nor something you’ve once read. Not a song you’ve heard or movie you’ve seen. But something brand new!
Clean slate.
Come on. Be original for cryin out loud.
Innovate!
Spend one week in the woods by yourself with no books, phone or radio.
Hibernate.
I dare you! You just might emerge from that week with a reborn drive to stop consuming and instead...
Originate.
Put something on paper that never existed before.
I dare you.
Liberate.
Black shadows cover my light.
Darkness in the new day.
Blackness always shuts away from the sun.
Lamentable nights are taking over.
The shadows come towards me.
Hypnotizing me...
Dark shadows are poisoning me.
Darkness is consuming me.
Death will bring me to hell,
It feels horrible...
No light, no beauty; just filthy darkness,
Turning me into the monster I have become.
Dark angels consume me,
And take over my body.
Come to me, Angel of death!
Turn me into the creature you desire.
Transform me!
Let the evil run inside me.
The power consumes me,
It consumes me into darkness...
Mesmerizing beauty
like a moth to a flame.
Land of milk and honey,
how'd you know my name.
Hypnotizing motion,
spider in her web,
Treasure hunter’s bounty
as you lay on your bed.
Appetizing banquet,
lioness to gorge,
valleys, dunes and mountains,
an eternity to forge.
Tantalizing tremors,
an eagle soaring high,
supernova, ecstasy
forever ‘til we die.
