Best Initial Poems
everyday I see people dwelling in the dark dungeons of life
and despite them trying to do the right thing they're struck with trouble and strife
felled by illness, unemployment, homelessness and all manners of despair
but I've never seen anyone who would not then kneel down in prayer
prayer is a conversation that takes place between you and God
it's when the Holy Spirit transcends and enters into your heart
it's an intimate talk with God that will change the atmosphere
it's when you call upon the grace and mercy of God to appear
prayer also has the power to alter one's behavior
we then tend to develop traits like Jesus the Christ our Savior
we learn to trust, we learn to accept, we learn not to judge
we learn to let go of negative things and to no longer hold a grudge
prayer power has the ability open eyes and hearts
to allow us to see the goodness that is the Lord our God
Now Paul and Silas were beaten and subsequently thrown into jail
but the power of their praying to the Lord God then prevailed
an earthquake shook the foundation of that dark prison cell
all the doors flew open, all the shackles fell broken it must have been like total hell
but it was only the power of prayer that had manifested
when the mighty hand of God by Paul and Silas was requested
prayer is the furtherance of the gospel that is Jesus Christ
prayer is the foundation for living a Christian life
so let the power of prayer lift you up and lift you out
of those dark dungeon situations that I was talking about
so pray until something happens, just wait and believe
that with the power of prayer the grace and mercy of God you will receive
O invisible sympathetic listener
Will it annoy my elder Hitler-sister-in-law?
(O my colleague! An Arabian teacher, mocked English
and fought me for its ambiguity);
I mean my wife’s sister.
Like the Jerusalem
With ‘What Must Be Said ’!
Or but to stop this stupid self is …!
If I say I respect her,I kiss her on lips
And eyes,
Lift her up in arms
And wrestle …!
But to detest someone so dearly loved,
Or forget —
Seems unworkable …!
I ogled through the open Atelier,
And chance into a spacious grotto,
Wanting to carry out an exploration of voodoo kingdom,
I made a pact with my kinetic limbs,
On they ride and halt at interval
Introducing to the eccentric phantasmagoria sheen;
The jaunty strokes dance on sheet nondescript,
A splash here fund a dash there, presenting views
Of nucleus of venerable attenuation of skeletons,
Damp dark commingle with laser flavour colours in a bout,
The power in waves transformed curves alive,
In practice of the occult, evergreen vision on screens;
The spirit-fay on the bark of Iroko,
Entangling themselves in limn haphazard liquid manner,
Chorusing in their parasitic wail:
You won't go until you bless me.
The wizard tore deep into the belly of denizen,
And offer sacks of intestine, pancreas and spleen,
Liver and heart on thorns of kernels,
Including a farrago of feeze, symbolism of shaggy
figures,
The ragged cupboard of labourer’s model,
Hole infested trusted rusted metals bind tight with
arteries,
And rope of twirling circles,
Tin filled up to shed.
Tattoo Charm Bracelet
My skin, a pure canvas before
No design beckoned me to explore
To be etched in the flesh, I deplored…
More mature, this great art challenged harm
Grand crucifix, my son’s heart, on my wrist, not arm
These jewels I’ll wear, linked in ink, each one a charm…

JUST one
staring at the bottom, so clear,
want to know the deal
why this squeal?
ha, the girl on the glass screen.
I acquaint with the hasty hearts' beat
'my expresso is bitter sweet'
I sing for you: black pearl
on my lips don’t leap

ABOUT YOU!
Suddenly together, evenly paired, holding every night
Together our dark days
Bewilder a killer; Everything's right
It was the actual day
i met with the world.
The month of July
in the year of '96
Truly it was month of cold
but a very special and most treasured day.
A date i left the enclosed world,
and visited the outer world.
The first date i used my nostrils
to locate oxygen to my lungs.
A date i captured organism like me
and most effective than me.
A day i located my meals through my bucal cavity,
A true day that actually i was surrounded by clothes.
It was hard to go back to the initial home,
course out here it was just luxurious than the inside.
A date that will always be treasured.:-)
When I first saw her in my frame of view,
I felt a lifting from all of my pain.
Her eyes began to shine like morning dew,
More tender than the blessed falling rain.
As she sat there with a genuine smile,
My heart began to soar with great delight.
There was a breath of silence for a while;
We only stared throughout half of the night.
I listened when she gently spoke to me,
With lips as soft and sweet as purest gold.
Her voice was all that ever was to be,
And visions of love began to unfold.
I shall keep this moment frozen in time,
To view my true love’s portrait in this rhyme.

How about the stars, more than every
beaches grains of sand.
Our own milky way is so very tiny.
A pin prick in the universe of
hundreds of billion galaxies,
truly blows the mind!
How about the planets some near
and some so far. It is not hard to
imagine other beings existing,
stretched out there in the dark.
Something someone had to take charge,
causing that initial spark. God the creator
that's who, it's all part of his master plan.
Form:
A box a ribbon a card
A dozen white carnations
Attractive underlay for
Twelve sweetheart roses
Soft silky red petals
Delicate tiny buds
On the card not a word
Only an initial
She closed her eyes
Handwriting she recognized
Feelings unexpressed
Lingering embrace

From just one kiss the
hardness of grapefruit
breast comes to life
and it's succulent nipples
solidifies but as she lay
and enjoy every rotation
as my tongue moist and
immensely moves around
it's circumference, my
manhood firmly scream
and cries for help, wanting
to make the acquaintance
with her lower friend.
Senses running wild and
beneath the core of my
tummy she begins to give
me butterflies, no pains
as I adore, just this frantic
bedroom loving as I tear
down her walls anxious
to enter her pleasure door.

I awaken to an infernal buzz
Sore mouth, dry lips and teeth filled with fuzz
It’s not the noise that causes harm
But more the sudden awakening caused by the alarm
Gingerly I walk outside
My friends caffeine and nicotine by my side
I take one of my friends and give him a spark
A bright flame appears amidst the dark
As I consume my friends thoughts come to hand
Body soon will be able to comfortably stand
A vibrant energy comes over me
With an intense feeling of needing to pee
I am now ready to shower and get dressed
Shirt needs to be ironed and strides pressed
But first I’ll have one more hit of nicotine
And another cup of caffeine
To the shower I head
Am attempted to lie down when I walk past my bed
The water is rather cold
The tiles dewy with a little mould
By the time the water is warm I am finished
The energy once had is now diminished
I dry myself off and get dressed
Didn’t iron the shirt and my pants will do not pressed
To the kitchen I go
For a piece of toast and glass of Milo
I scoff these down like there’s no tomorrow
As the hiccups and indigestion follow
I head outside for one last puff
Even though I know I have consumed more than enough
A throbbing pain and numbness appears in my head
Stuff this I’m going back to bed
Thankfully it’s the weekend and nothing I will miss will cause harm
Actually, why in the hell did I set my alarm
With the thought of lost sleep
I begin to ever so slightly weep
I just hope I can continue that dream I had
If I can’t I will settle for sleep and not be mad
So I guess it is good night again or sleep tight
When I awake it will hopefully be night
I'm sick and tired! So very tired!
Of you putting me down
From now on... I'll just stand up!
On my own two feet...
I refuse to put up with your trash again
And I refuse to just stand and take it
I won't allow you to mess with my mind
No longer will your threats bother me
You may try and scare me if you like
But any word you say is useless
You have no control of where I go
This is my life! Not your own!
I don't want you to look at me as a trophy
Because I refuse to go down the path you want
There is a time when one has to grow up
Enough is enough! I'm forced to leave you
No more of your lies will enter my ears
I refuse to take part in it
I have to try and make it myself
And it's my choice to suceed or fail
I "hate" you
I "dislike" you
I just don't like you!
I'm sick and tired! So very tired!
I just want to be away from you!
I refuse to have someone else dictate
My very life...
The sooner I escape, the better off I'll be
Though it may seem hopeless at the moment
I admit that I have made alot of mistakes
But I promise to not repeat them again
I am not a perfect human being
I am prone to make many mistakes
But at least I will learn from them
Unlike you! You're just a hypocrite!
You expect too much of me and its wrong
And when I fail, its the end of the world
You make life seem harder than necessary
Especially after I have grasped it already
If I were to share my knowledge
Then I bet you'd be amazed
It will rival even yours
Or should I say eventually surpass it
You "fear" me
You're "afraid" of me
You are "scared" of me!
That's how it should be! You're scared of me!
And it should stay that way
Since you think that, you try and put me down
Bt it won't work...
I "hate" you
Go and "hate" me
I don't need you anymore!
Go and "fear" me
I don't "fear" you
You're really nothing to me!
I'm sick and tired now! Very tired now!
Just leave me be!
Stop trying to... torment me
Any further...
My respect for you! Is gone now!
Just go away!
Getting rid of the... trash in my life
Is the first step to my happiness!
I'm sick and tired! So very tired!
Of you putting me down
From now on... I'll just stand up!
On my own two feet...
I refuse to put up with your trash again
And I refuse to just stand and take it
I won't allow you to mess with my mind
No longer will your threats bother me
You may try and scare me if you like
But any word you say is useless
You have no control of where I go
This is my life! Not your own!
I don't want you to look at me as a trophy
Because I refuse to go down the path you want
No more of your lies will enter my ears
I refuse to take part in it
I have to try and make it myself
And it's my choice to suceed or fail
I "hate" you
I "dislike" you
I just don't like you!
I'm sick and tired! So very tired!
I just want to be away from you!
I refuse to have someone else dictate
My very life...
I "hate" you
Go and "hate" me
I don't need you anymore!
Go and "fear" me
I don't "fear" you
You're really nothing to me!
I'm sick and tired now! Very tired now!
Just leave me be!
Stop trying to... torment me
Any further...
My respect for you! Is gone now!
Just go away!
Getting rid of the... trash in my life
Is the first step to my happiness!
