Gullible I am
Gullible I will always be
Been burnt many a time
Lesson learnt….No Siree!
Soft hearted, trusting
Is who I am
Will I ever change
Lesson learnt…No Ma’am!
That`s not Safe
I dared to battle with the wild thunder
Where flashes of lightning could blind the eyes,
Where I escaped being torn asunder
And darkish clouds veiled the crest of the sky;
In this inner tempest that wrecked my heart
Every burst of wild wind echoed deep pains
Tearing the strata of my heart apart
While I struggled with stinging stress and strains.
If woeful storms turn the days into night,
Will summer sweet sunshine be far away
To spread its glow on earth and shed its light,
To guide man along the virtuous way.
Battling with thunder, I learnt that`s not safe
With due lessons learnt, this can be vouchsafed.
It's over for him, I'm done his mind.
I'll always be apart of his heart, and still he remains kind.
Ignoring change will only make things strange.
We are binding, just now it's with and in a different range.
Never forgetting our story, all you taught me .
Each and every single, moment or glory.
Times of bliss and feelings that felt gory.
It hurts a little, no , it actually hurts a lot.
But I smile, as I'm grateful for everyone, and everything
I've got.
Thank you for a life, for a love which once seemed impossible. Cherishing all I have learnt from you,
Making my future self unstoppable.
Love from
A broken heart
Touch and judge not
What you do not know
I rest secure in God's promises
Not fake or deceptive games
I pray for every enemy not
Created by me by yourselves
That my sins that were forgiven
Not be added on yours
It would be a terrible burden you will
Carry , I have Faith this understood
as it should,
My judgement is God's alone
That authority belongs
To Him alone...
You welcome to be as you are
You want to keep sinning continue
However from me can listen
No sin pays
However in Faith sin forgiven
And all sin already forgiven
Have already gone through
Consequences
Know that only by Faith
You forgiven and God searches
every heart
My truth was spoken
Was yours?
As an enemy or enemies
Created by your own choice
Not mine
Just know I will
Continue to shine...
You are easy to be forgiven
The most difficult are the ones
That pray for me of something
they have no clue about
Those people I will not
Even eat a plate of food from
I rather sit with sinners and eat.
Learnt to Read
I learnt how to
read the
words here, there, and
everywhere and
too many others to
count in
vapour form.
Poised in silence, doing nothing at all,
mindfully noticing movements in form,
observing ripples as they rise and fall,
breath simultaneously cool and warm,
deepens calm, cajoling us to conform.
Bereft of thought, ego cravings recede,
relinquishing will, which to God we cede,
with presence drenched in elixir of bliss,
pulsations of love then take up the lead,
that feeling complete, nothing is amiss.
For far too long
I had allowed myself
to be scorched
by constant heartbreaks
and broken dreams
through the flames of the enemy
constantly spinning my wheels
and seeking my security and self worth
from empty vessels who cannot
provide me with the water and fire
I need to sustain my eternal
health and soul
all the did was drain my energy away
until my soul is cremated
into a heap of ash
as black as a wreath
at a funeral procession
I’m not ashamed to say
I’ve shed a tear in my day
But I know now it’s true
I’ve learnt a thing or two
That life can treat you bad
And there are days written off as sad
Sometimes you’ll sit back and wonder
Why you were ripped asunder
To ponder long at your fate
When trouble seems only to grate
Put it down to your experience
As a lesson had from this day hence.

I was training you, my furr baby Coco
And it turned out so well
I knew the commands but learned along with you
It took us two days to get through
Each new day we woke up and tried something new
I won't forget what I had with you
You ain't a person but that precious creature
That I will never forget
You are that feeling which I never want to lose
I still remember our first goodbye, which was hard too
I don't know how will I cope up without you
I use to sit and wonder
What life was all about
Spent my days & nights
Wandering all around
Is it about the enjoyment
When I was playing like a child
To use my imagination
To know It's all worthwhile
To know I was truly loved
When my momma tucked me in
Playing with my father
Then he huged me with a grin
Then the moment came, When life
Wasn't fun anymore
I got a taste of death
It left me crippled on the floor
Sorrow moved in
Like a storm to the west
The death of my grandmother
Broke my heart, that lies in my chest
Then growing older,anger & envy came about
It fueled my life for many years
Until I decided just to kick them out
Happiness is wholesome
Sorrow is never good
Jealousy is dangerous
Hatred Itself; is just an awful word
By no means am I the wisest, man around
But I think it's just about living
And enjoying all that life offers
Even, when the rain is coming down

Where Lucy was right
and Gods we spite
when squids were game
and happinesswassquashed
The gem a bit is queen
of strangness never caught
if i have died
you weren't in my thoughts
see i broke a dimension back there
was i talking to you
or was i talking to me a me to follow
sea a note to follow pulled stretched skin
oh mist of Whisky spitltled drizzle
take me to the land of your everaporations
now tell me thats not a line
dancing hand in hand with disappearing
disintergrate before the iron dies-
now this is for geeks it could be about
Chaplins Greatest death
or my thoughts on globes swarming
Money at its
hi
establish i mean't ever rather than eva
9 lines back i wouldn't look
i've been watching he did
don't checque please
are you sure cheque
pleas
did he mean
glow ball warning
i know i am watching
him write it down
but i keep reading
watching the show
but never see its ending
I'm not proud I was wrong
And the truth was hard to take
I felt sure we had enough
But our love went overboard
Love boat lie lost at sea
I've been trying to reach your shore
Waves of doubt keep drowning me
All the dreams that we were building
We never fulfill them
Could be better should be better
If we learnt in love
Restless eyes egos burn
The mold is hard to break
Now we've waded into too deep
And our love is overboard
Heavy hearts token words
All the hopes I ever had
Fade like footprints in the sand
All the homes that we were building
We never lived in them
If we lose the time before us
The future will ignore us
We should use it
We could use it
Lost without love
I used to get moved by your every word
I thought you meant everything you said
The disappointments were evident
For on you I was so dependent
Then I learned to control my emotions
I was so overwhelmed with you
I took everything you did at heart
Folks out there even said I'm a fool
To allow you to tear me apart
Then I learned to control my emotions
The love I had for you was pure
I sincerely gave you my all
You knew this for sure
But you played me like ball
Then I learned to control my emotions
I always felt I was insecure
I envisaged this whole thing will end
But I just wanted to endure
And see if the problem we could mend
Then I learned to control my emotions
I now know I am the problem
Thank you for teaching me
On you I always put the blame
Painting a picture for you to be
Then I learned to control my emotions
I'm now going to work on myself
And stop trying my best to fix you
Change can be initiated by one's self
Certainly you will when your time is due
At last! I learnt to control my emotions.

It is one year since I joined Poetry Soup and have made some
awesome friends. I have been writing poetry all my life, but have
learnt a great deal from all of you. The poets I have mentioned above
have encouraged me through their poems and comments to
become bolder in my approach to writing poetry – thank-you.
I respect you all each one for your individual charms,
We are all together brothers and sisters in arms,
But the poets I have mentioned above,
I pay tribute to and send them my love,
For encouraging my imagery and muse, set off perfect alarms!
