Best Tempters Poems
I cannot tolerate the ones with haloed head
Who boast of their achievements, put on an act instead.
I cannot tolerate the perfect, always right
Who claim to love their neighbour omitting black or white.
I cannot tolerate the ones who share your pack
Pretending to be helpful then stab you in the back.
I cannot tolerate the friends who pick your brain
Intent on infiltration determined to make gain.
I cannot tolerate the types who wish you well
They swear to loyal virtue, but then they kiss and tell.
I cannot tolerate the false and double-faced
They are the parasitic, their tongue with poison laced.
I cannot tolerate the guys who look for fights
They cause much harm while pleading the law to back their rights.
I cannot tolerate the tempters with their faith
They are the instigators, the ones who love to hate.*
They cannot tolerate my face, but I’m alright
My aim is to expose them, oppose with all my might.

Where Eagles Soar
Flying far above the masses
In azured tinctured skies,
They fly independently.
For that, is where true class
lies!
They want no part of any
motley crew birds.
Just self-determined to fly as
they choose to do.
Never bowing their glorious
heads,
To seek recognition from any
tempters of glory!
With their widespread wings
they soar clearly with full
independence and no doubts.
And were I a bird, you would
find me an eagle.
Heaven forbid I walk on a leash
like a beagle!

Constant battles raging within
Masters fighting for my soul
Seeking forgiveness, chasing sin
A life spinning out of control
Creatures adorned with freewill
Christ or Satan, my only choice
Hearkening to the tempters trill
As I pray to hear my God’s voice
Forced to pay homage to a reprobate
The holy trinity refuses an audience
Satan, filling a young soul with hate
The heart grows cold with defiance
Pathways taken, lead to destruction
Time spent on earth, has been my hell
An unworthy soul seeking salvation
Purifying blood, to break Satan's spell

buried June 24, 2011)
Sleep. Wake. Sleep
Sleep on empty stomach
Food and liquor make the journey
Eat, make Epicurus laugh double for once
Holiness! Is it not about angels and fruits
Eden has grapes and bitters
The tempters line the trees
And chirpy birds blow the flutes
The tempers with long tales and the dragon
There is a golden chair and a golden crown
And a bsket of flowers waiting to waive you in
There the master's table you'll see in the morning
Ulcer and glaucoma have no role to play
So you must eat, launch
And lunch to roost
There Grace waits for his owns
If indeed in the father's house there are many mansions
Why could Richman not easily find a room
Sone, from the master's table think
Analyze, princilpize, study and report
Stone, think as you walk around the dais
Analyze as you sleep. Principlize
Sleep and Sleep
Then look back, look to the corners
Look at the dome and compare with heavensgate
Take note the colors of the priests here and compare
See the dark waters, you did not see there before
See your scions on the front seats
See me, Franco, with the cross of attrition
Flung on me by brothers and sister
See the masquerades, musketeers
See my men dressed in raffia for this Elizbethan epic
See the men of the nights and those of the days
Filed on the right and on the left with Infant Terrible
See the near monks minus opportunity
Hiding their faces and long ghoulish tales
Rolling out muted laughter or pardon
Singing accustomed sonorous tunes for the great
See our uncles sibblings whose finest tears I never saw until now
See the candor and the incenses that have prevailed
Are these not enough comets that the Lord rewards
Yes. So then, the sound of the trumpets
The trumpeters are your seeded three clans
Charging the heavens in swaggers
Blazing forth, in pomps celebrating life
Dancing this same song of homecoming
For Stone, the cornerstone of many parts
Cargo of our latest argosy
Berthed at the Terminal. Farewell mum.

God gives us joy* in our salvation’s excellence
Designed well along His wisdom’s prevalence
Rebuking the critics, putting them into shame’s silence…
Making us secured from sin’s penalty midst hell’s awful violence.
As His children, we experience His compassion of heavenly opulence!!!
God gives us joy in our redemption’s fruitfulness
Planned perfectly for good works of righteousness
Admonishing the lazy, warning them sternly against slothfulness...
Charging us to produce repentance-deeds that manifest our truthfulness.
As His converts, we obey Him with our devotion’s earnestness!!!
God gives us joy in our conversion’s victory
Triumphant through Jesus’ death at Calvary
Vanquishing enemies with His great resurrection’s glory...
Assuring us of eternal life with divine home beyond earthly misery.
As His worshipers, we adore Him, acknowledging His Gospel story!!!
God gives us joy in our sanctification’s testimony
Purposed to be proclaimed to all, not only to many
Calling for the sinners even though they feel they are just puny…
Exhorting us to declare His mercy to everyone, whether sunny or rainy.
As His ambassadors, we carry His light that’s spiritually shiny!!!
God gives us joy in our new-creation’s thanksgiving
Favored along the faithful’s constant cleaving
Subduing the proud in their self-sufficiency’s vain striving...
Instructing us to offer to Him our very best with our sincere loving.
As His believers, we sacrifice, grateful for the blessings we are receiving!!!
God gives us joy in our justification’s honor
Finished completely by His power’s ardor
Challenging the doubters, questioning their shameful valor...
Upholding us with our faith that’s performing by His might’s fervor.
As His laborers, we abide in His Word midst worldliness’ clamor!!!
God gives us joy in our adoption’s praise
Intended despite hardships in the Christian race
Subduing the tempters with all the weapons of deceit they raise…
Guarding us around His peace, enclosing us within His protective grace.
As His heirs, we rejoice in Him, never to depart from His holiness-brace!!!
*Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is … righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Rhyme
the evening shade
gave her smile
naughty
her makeup relaxed,
she sucked her
cigarette
blew me a hello and
fluttered elongated
fingers
her eyes penetrated
my skin with sensual
pinpricks
I lusted for her
body stuffed into
adventurous jeans
those elongated
fingers constantly
tried to rearrange
her clothes
slightly, red in the
face as I watched
it was like she
thought I was
stripping her edible
with my fleeting
looks; moved my gaze
up to her eyes
she stared back not
realizing she had
nervously
unbuttoned the top
two buttons of her
wayward blouse
she turned aside,
glanced back quickly
looking for
a UNSUPPORTED CODE carpe diem UNSUPPORTED CODE
way for her to fall
into my tempters
I stood my ground
whenever she seized
my whisper
snagged a moonbeam
and groped me with
her absolute

The Adversary
He watched them as day passed upon day, peering upon the intimate scene,
As God communed heart to heart, one on one with the woman and the man the only
Beings where his likeness and image could be seen.
Garden beautiful was unguarded and free for all to enter;
He crept in dexterous in all his ways with the sword of deceit clasped in hand
he came to conquer the mind of man.
Hurled from heaven by the creator of all good,
resentment heaved out an odious pit in the tempters salient mind,
with trenchant vengeance and anger’s gall he purposed
that not only he would fall.
He would mar man the being where God’s image was seen,
He struck his first blow with a question, opening the door
Of incredulity, he launched a final attack
By insinuating that God had held something back.
With the woman’s mind in upheaval the forbidden morphed
Into a captivating delicacy,
impelling her into its aura without hesitancy.
Unbeknown to her she had been deceived,
So she ate and shared it with her mate.
He promised her the semblance of God knowing evil and good,
But his promise became wormwood.
They abdicated life’s delight for knowledge cocooned in gloom
As black as night.
He originated the fall, but he did not win even in the face
Of his pugnacious gall.
In love God gave his son as a ransom, all that believe will live
Forever in heaven a far better standing than before the fall.
Whatever plots an evil foe may conjure the omniscient mind
Of God is impossible to conquer.

When everyday life is overwhelming,
And you can't enjoy peace of mind,
If your faith in the Lord has started to abate,
From a world turning upside down,
When you don't nowhere to turn,
To ease the problems in your life,
Have faith, and trust in the Lord,
To guide you on your path in life.
If you seek him you will find him,
If you seek him with all your heart,
But if you forsake him he will reject you
And leave you for the Tempters snare.
If your mind is ever doubtful
From uncertainties in your life,
When your world is getting stormy
From all of its troubles, conflicts and strife,
When the Devils Army is upon you
Ready to take away your life,
Have faith and seek the Lord,
And let him come into your life.
Seek the Lord of Heavens Army
With an open heart and a willing mind,
Don't forsake him and be rejected,
To go through life spiritually blind.

Abide with me fast comes the night
The day is past and gone
Oousing shadow of evening comes
Darkness so deepen lord with me abide
Through the day you walk with me
Your grace alone foils the tempters power
None like thyself my guide can be
Through night till sunshine abide with me
Journey to the unknown world
I know not nor lived
In the my sacred rest your bossom is where I lay
I fear no foe grave where is your victory?
Will triumph still for He is by me
In life in dead lord please abide with me.

I can take it no more.
Caught in between longing, I cant believe
whether it's a dejà vu or not. But what I know is that it is not
being what it was designed to be.
I now know better than you think I do.
I wanna smile like how Pentatonix do it when they
are on stage but, ....
I've learnt how to live stress-free,
or am I lying to myself. I did once say that I dont wanna lose you, but
now,
I'm here, feeling nothing!
Losing you or having you- the same!
It's so hurting when you find a girl crying after being heartbroken, "He is not even considerate. I loved him in the best way I could, but what's this?! Sheer nonsense!!
Girls are trained as tempters. Give them a rope, but have to hold it tight at the other end.

Prose Poetry
Of all the things I have ever
felt,
your love is simply the
sweetest.
Of all the great places I ever
dwelt,
your humble heart is the
purest.
I see many twinkling stars
in the skies,
but I have just found the
brightest,
yes I see it in your exotic
eyes,
take it from me, you are my
dearest.
Anytime I decide to go
outside,
I have to close my eyes to
behold beauty:
but when I am by your side,
my dream bloom becomes
reality.
Anytime that I am arround
you,
I feel engulfed by
boundless bliss;
what we share is timeless
and true,
I am glad I found you my
mild miss.
There are sweet things I
want to say
but wild words seems so
worthless:
giving you are flower is like
child-play,
you are a priceless petal,
your highness.
Our love building is... sound-
proof:
I don't hear the tales of
tempters,
this bond has got a rugged
roof;
it can only get better and
brighter.
I love you.

Lyric
Would not I carry my rugged pride
When element to element will mingle and reside
In perfumed consummation of interstellar space
In a new planet cast out of Brahama’s rage
For ever wishing my nibbled pen could trace
A line of haughty verse to silence the deadly state
The world’s affairs And all its cloud clapped might
But ends in poor surrender shorn of man’s pride
Shorn of all honour when our tattered rags do show
The imprints of tempters all their dishonest row
Then we hate to touch our mortgaged flesh and bone
When souls are slaughtered in church yards of rhone
It might have been better to explore salient venues
The spirit of dark waters or some sealed avenues.

Of all the things I have ever felt,
your love is simply the sweetest.
Of all the places I ever dwelt,
your comely heart is the purest.
Lots of twinkling stars rock my
skies,
O, I have just found the
brightest,
yes I see it in your exotic eyes,
take it from me my dazzling
dearest.
Anytime I tour the gardens
outside,
I close my eyes to behold
beauty:

Anytime I am arround you,
I feel engulfed by boundless

what we share is timeless and

I am glad I found you, mystical

There are sweet things I want

but wild words seem so
worthless:
rousing the roses is child's play,
you are a priceless petal, your
highness!
Our love-tower is
sound-proof:
I don't hear the tales of
tempters,
this bond has got a rugged
roof;
it can only get better and
brighter.
I love you the day after the
future,
you are a treasure beyond
