Diet book in hand,
Reaching for the extra cake,
"Just this once," she sighed.

In twilight between two Suns
You've decided to drink the fortified wine
To close your eyes
to think of better days
with Thyme in Caskets
and all in sundry
marvelling at saviours
that are nameless
in the forests of Broceliande
singing to sunlit air

Forged by the heavens I broke every cycle of love
Foretold by Destiny I embraced every phase of love
Fortified by poetry I became every avenue of love
The grace of the moment
Blended the courage and
The fury of one man
Folding together, the path became simple
The heart of one moment settled love’s rage!
Breaking out of the cage the curative measures of life were slow
The anatomy of the past, cast a pale shadow
But love allowed me to sail in only one direction
I rose because nothing could hold me down and
The hidden treasure was exposed that lay dormant in my heart
Forged by the heavens I broke every cycle of love
Foretold by Destiny I embraced every phase of love
Fortified by poetry I became every avenue of love

Fortified with vitamins
And iron
Essential amino acids
And omega 3,
I venture into work.

I am well conversant with the the art of war
how can i not?
Other than the fact that each day is a survival on this planet
My father was a freedom fighter
See!
Sovereignty runs through my veins.
Am fortified.
Beauty and personality are my bow and arrows;
Charisma has been known to bring down Berlin walls.
I polish my brains and character daily
Being Smart is something my father would recommend.
Bible and faith are my defender
after all,every physical,emotional,psychological battle in this life can only be won spiritually.
Am fortified.
You standing by my side,and i have never been more stronger.
I am no longer me',its We.
In my inadequacies,you refill my cup
When my maths don't add up,your intelligence save the day.
My missions are no longer 'stand alone',I have a co-pilot.
Am fortified.
I always knew i was born to reign
now with your love as my guide and guard
my walls will never taste defeat
My kingdom shall never fall
Am fortified.

Erect this rampart around my lone heart
in case we must part before I can start
hoping for more
while I implore
your grace and your art when you must depart.
When current and sea wash right over me
I babble a plea like lonesome debris
while getting towed,
saline bestowed,
until I agree to life’s jubilee.
Tumult shall erase what I can’t replace
to wash that sole trace of bliss from my face
you must return--
make my soul burn
as flames dance to chase my cheerful disgrace.

You know I am someone you
can rely
But, take advantage-
I'll spit you out-my decision final
I do not do regurgitation-
don't shake platonic plates!
you won't demolish all my walls
some bricks I'll let you borrow,
my foundations cannot be
measured,
the ancients through my veins,
wisdom, courage, follows me
old soul returned before,
I search your eyes,
navigate your grin,
your faith, I can restore
this intuitive energy
pummels borders
all boundaries exiled
beneath this exterior
my determination
between my heart and
my soul my will sits fortified
