ALLOW ME TO KISS YOUR SOUL AND HEART
Offend a beautiful woman is found;
In the lights;
Sometimes her beauty rises;
In the night;
He curvasive body;
Simmers and glows;
Yet it’s her true self;
Her spirit that knows;
Oh! Grant me the pleasure
To kiss your heart;
Allow me the circumstance;
To spiritually romance;
You in the proper way;
Allow me to pray for you now… I say
I wish upon you longevity of life
I pray unto you the desires of your heart;
And I stand affirmed, dismayed….
Would you allow me to
To kiss your heart;
May I kiss your heart and soul?
May I kiss the Lord you worship whole?
May I kiss the spirit and the wind
Won’t you just let, let me in
Allow me darling to…
Kiss your heart and soul

God be praised for His work in our victory
Proclaiming that salvation is verily assured by His grace
As taught by His inspired Word*, devoid of any flaw…
Let us then read it with earnestness
And learn from His wisdom of prudent enlightenment!
God be thanked for His triumph in our walk
Declaring that sanctification is only fulfilled thru His cleansing
As affirmed by His preserved Word, secured from sins…
Let us then meditate it with sincerity
And seek His forgiveness along assured peace!
God be honoured for His supplies in our needs
Testifying that satisfaction is bountifully enriched with His sufficiency
As expressed by His inerrant Word, filled with blessings…
Let us then delight in it with prayerfulness
And abide in His goodness of contentment-bliss!
God be magnified for His might in our ministry
Showing that service is acceptably done along His power
As revealed by His pure Word, free from deceit…
Let us then hear it with utmost desire to practice what’s right
And involve in His church for kingdom-advancement!
God be exalted for His favour in our gathering
Telling that sanctuary-worship is genuinely experienced in His holiness
As settled by His immutable Word, asserting “Thus saith the Lord...”
Let us then obey it with heartfelt gratitude
And share His Gospel about redeeming love!
God be lifted-up for His anchor in our upholding
Recognizing that steadfastness is formidably braced upon His strength
As emphasized by His perfect Word, preached for character-building…
Let us then apply it with yielded obedience
And trust His promises of precious value!
God be glorified for His commendation in our jubilation
Commending that success is ultimately attained around His standards
As reminded by His infallible Word, settled upon sovereign truth…
Let us then live by it with growing faith
And follow His instructions of faithful stewardship!
*2Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

do you realize that God gave you a special and unique skill
a gift, a blessed anointing only because that was His will
too often in today's society it seems to be all about self
the American ideology on the subject of inherent wealth
that everything we have it's something that we alone earned
but that's just an illusion that many can't seem to discern
it's not possible for you to have accomplished everything
in your life and not know
that there were others who came before you
to whom some of your success you owe
yet God gave you a blessing just because He could
a gift to be used for the greater good
it's not something that you can claim, it's not anything that you inspired
it was the grace that God granted you because that was His desire
He gave you this gift for a purpose and a reason
and for you to stir it up in your own season
so what is your gift? that special thing that God gave you
what is that unique endowment that makes you you?
you've got it, you've got it, but it's up to you to find
don't be afraid to uncover it, just keep an open mind
if you can't see yourself as being gifted and don't know what it is
remember you have God's authority and His promises
He gave you a gift to bring purpose and meaning to your life
He gave you an anointing like He did for his son Jesus Christ
so don't be scared to find it, come out of your comfort zone
seek that which was sent to you down from the heavenly throne
but don't be arrogant when you find what your special gift is about
don't get boastful and then act you have all the clout
you've got it, you've got it, the gift that God has confirmed
have an attitude of gratitude so that your gift can be affirmed
be appreciative, be thankful just don't be unmoved
you have the grace of God, in His eyes you are approved
you've got it, you've got it, the gift that will stir you up
the gift that keeps on giving and will forever refill your cup
no longer to seek the approval of man for Father God has your back
utilize your gift and for Christ start making some tracks
realize the gift, apply the gift and with it you will find
it's the reason that God gave His love, power and a sound mind
as only what you do for Christ will last and endure
so use the gift that He's given you and for others open new doors
you cannot remember white shores of summer
and the metallic taste of the sea on your flanks
and the air opaque with the dazzle of noon
you cannot remember the wine that gleamed like a snake in the sun
and the boats nuzzling the hot pier
and the emphatic simplicity of their message
the urgent peal of the cicada has been quite lost to you
and the sleepy eyes of the horizon late in the day
and the loneliness of the ocean that justifies everything
you cannot remember what the sudden laughter affirmed
nor the startled sweetness of the flowers crushed under your loins
nor the love from which your body drew its pleasure
easily as a child milk from the breast
Grandpa called us all
Sons and daughters of the old lion
To the cave of the great tiger
His father
Like Jacob meeting his Israelite sons
He gathered us all
As we sat at his feet and listened
To words springing from an ancient pond
Grandpa blessed his grands
With Wealth
With Marriage
With Victory
With Laughter
Everyone was smiling
I was also smiling
Til he called my name
Like he usually ended his long speeches
My son, we all knew he meant me
Not my his in laws
Not even his sons my mum's brothers
My son, he would call three times as i responded on each call
I will not bless you
Grandpa announced
Guilt of whatever i had done possessed me
For you i will curse
My old friend affirmed
Your tongue will utter destiny
His curses begun like the rise of locusts
Your years will be more than mine
And your battles more
Till you slay the monster i never saw
Your thoughts will flow like the great river
Your fingers will write
All the wisdom and wit of your ancestors;
Words for nations and generations
Your zeal will be your meal
For you I can never bless
Which beast blesses a fellow beast
The great tiger never blessed the ancient lion
You i will never bless but Curse you with all my strength
For a curse is stronger than a blessing
You are cursed my son
To dream for nations
To think for more than you can handle
To yield than you can sow
For in this curse i hide my blessings
For you son
Go with your curse
For you should never see the lion again
Then grandpa died
Leaving me cursed
As i am now
Geared by God, greeting gracious glow
Ready is my spirit for rejuvenation revival
Empowered to exalt Him with praise ecstasy
Ascending against apprehending arrogance
Triumphant toward thanksgiving trust.
Extricated from exhausting selfish expedition
Settled is my soul, secured by the Saviour
Chained and clasped around His clemency
Attaining faith-affirmed service approval
Pursuing heavenly profits, perfectly precious
Exchanging the ephemeral for the eternal*.
1Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

AIt is said and sadly wrongly banded about
like confetti at a wake
By those who quite patently do not or will never know the meaning of true love
You don't know what
you've got till it's gone
Unfortunately I always did now it's only been affirmed
And even though she is mine
She was never mine to keep
Regretfully in regards and only unto me
I had to set her free to leave upon a jet plane
to return home
And sadly now in the not to distant future the only time I will get to see her
Is on this here silver screen starring back at me
But i always knew what I had long before she even left
Despite yet still knowing I had to set her free regardless
But maybe that for some is just what love is actually anyway
But far rather and better to have loved and
lost than never to have been loved at all
All I know is I have I always loved love Jo
now sorely more than ever before
I thank God for His gracious sustenance
Surely providing me His bounty’s abundance
Along His wellness of healthy satisfaction-extravagance
With His unceasing care showing timely deliverance.
I praise the Lord for His sufficing contentment
Truly granting me His blessings for spiritual fulfillment
Along His assurance affirmed by His Word's engagement
With His never-ending compassionate reaching-out involvement.
I trust the Saviour for His ready comfort thru His Scripture
Daily exhorting me to stand by His virtues’ posture
Along His instructions against greed and covetousness-gesture
With His constant provisions upon His wealthy stature.
I worship Christ for His good benefits* in my stewardship
Undoubtedly supplying me, meeting my needs in our fellowship
Along His favor for my faith's gainful profits around our partnership
With His everlasting commendation while I follow His leadership.
*Psalm 68:19 “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation.”

Blessed by God as a full-blooded Filipina
I’m endowed with great cultural heritage of Asia
Distinctively that of the Benguet “Kankana-ey” tribe of the Cordillera
Enriching my country, the Philippines, of her unique role in the global agenda.
Grateful am I to the Lord for my tribe’s awareness of the Deity
Shown by my forefathers’ acknowledgment of the Supreme Being’s authority
Thru their festivities and rituals revealing their trust in the God Almighty…
Igniting my faith toward genuine Christianity and biblical spirituality.
I salute my tribe mates for their respect to creation and steadfast preservation of nature
Affirmed by their diligent gardening and productive, yet prudent farming venture
Making them stalwart guardians of their environment, their bounty-pasture
While invoking the Divine Providence against calamities thru sincere offerings’ gesture.
Gladness* couples my appreciation to our tribe’s close family ties and intimate engagements
During bonding moments over cups of coffee and meals along conversation merriments
Especially in clans’ get-together for weddings and feastings’ enjoyments
Aside from reunions in funerals filled with reminiscences of varied sentiments and predicaments.
My tribe with its peculiar culture is commendable indeed
Steadfastly strong in its identity of tenacious influential creed
As it welcomes changes of betterment and prosperity’s seed
Midst technological development toward progress-breed!
*Psalm 4:7 Thou (LORD) hast put gladness in my heart...

Poets have a greater capacity
to express love and longing
painting pictures of passion's pleasures
They excite and ignite the imagination
That's the beauty of being a poet
Poets are so steeped in the need for beauty in wording
that they use their talents even in posts
Weaving wonder with words
they make you believe
you are above and beyond
the realm of mere mortals
you heart sings and takes wings
feeling affirmed, your needs confirmed
by those special terms of endearment
until you read
the self same expressions elsewhere
bubble bursting despair
then you bleed
That's the downside of being a poet
You lose a bit of your honesty....
What about me?
I have to rush to classes in twenty minutes, but this just had to be said and couldn't wait at all....No pics to go with it....No editing...so please...don't censure.
