His bride comes like the gallant sun
In the blue-white chariot of the cloud
As the dancing moon awaits her
In the company of the choiring stars
See! Day and night claps in warm embrace
While nature stands in ovation
There in Pharaoh’s portico at the arid savannah
In the city of pyramid’s pride
The bride meets her groom
Wait! Zeus stands in admiration of this awesome beauty
Jupiter caught in ecstasy untold
As Venus and Cupid made passes in loud whisper
Now! The prince of Egypt bonds with civilization
An ancient union posterity would always befriend.
WHAT OTHER TITLE WOULD YOU RATHER GIVE TO IT?
Echoes of past
Sounds that had been
Touches once in lust
Now nothing
Ah, you are not dead in a sense
Your eyes had read these very prints
Much of my eyes I got from your genes
Many see in it your glint
Once glimmer of gold
As she would say
Now of bronze a little old
The iris in dismay
I go through in delight
What you had once read
Feels how were your day and night
What you loved green or red
Your handwritten notes in margin
Those acute angled alphabets
Is the evidence of my beginning
Burnt holes on some pages, of my cigarettes
And that too your brand
The brown rings of capstan
Under the feet loose sand
Your warmth in my hand
I too love to underline
As I read my favourite books
Copious notes of mine
Almost identical looks
I do feel the soft leaf
Of your palm on my cheek
A cloud of brief grief
In the dark, something do I seek?
The dictionary you used
I love to consult very often
The smokes you abused
A feature common
The way I read and write
I feel I arose from you
You loved to fill the pages white
On which now falls my dew
I wish I could retain
The values you entertained
But your fountain pen has to remain
Empty, no ink, the market complains
If I refuse to drink whisky
In a party, sometimes,
Many a friend laughs at me
They would say, take juice of lime
Photographic films are not sold
The shop keepers look on and smile
As if a customer two generation old
The contax camera lies idle
We move on with our times
Stream eats into old banks
We change our rhymes and crimes
To the changing river, thanks
We caress it, hold to our chest
Smell and look through too
Bring out your poses in rest
Again inside eyes the dew
This way we continue
The before toward the after
Your things are my moments with you
Nothing in a sense is closed chapter

In land of light, where spires rise high,
We speak of love yet let it die,
For quiet faith and tender creeds
Are strangled by our selfish needs.
We drape ourselves in robes of white,
Yet shadows thicken, day and night.
We name the Christ with hollow breath,
And wield His sword to bring forth death.
Some say it’s power that we seek,
To silence all the gentle, weak;
A whispered lie, a guiding hand,
To keep the meek from taking bread.
We cast our stones with righteous face,
While kindness slips to slow disgrace;
And as our temples line the skies,
Our children learn a world of lies.
Yet still the dreamers, bruised and worn,
Recall the world where love was born—
Where fire once lit the lowly way,
A light the darkness could not sway.
But if we seek to shape the world
With fires that burn and flags unfurled,
What lives we touch may never rise
To know a gentler paradise.
In every breath that bruises break,
Another spirit must then ache;
And one by one, we dim and fade
In shadows of our faith betrayed.
I OPENED A DOOR
IN THE UNIVERSE,
MUCH TO MY SUPRISE ,
I STUMBLED UPON
A LONG LOST TRUTH
THAT OPENED , UP MY EYES.
THERE IS MORE ,
THAN ONE DIMENSION.
WHEN IT COMES TO BEING.
THIS IS WHAT ,
I STUMBLED UNPON .
ONLY NOW , I BELIEVE , I AM SEEING.
VISION BEYOND PERCEPTION .
EXISTENCE ,
BEFORE THE DAWN OF TIME.
ONCE CONSIDERED THE OUTER LIMITS ,
NOW EMANATES ,
FROM WITHIN THE MIND.
LIKE AN EXOTHERMIC REACTION ,
THAT RELEASES ENERGY
IN THE FORM OF LIGHT .
THRUSTING US FORWARD ,
INTO THE FUTURE ,
LIKE THE ALTERING OF DAY AND NIGHT.
FASTER , AND FASTER ,
THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT
REVERSING , ALL DIRECTIONS OF TIME.
MEANING , THE SOUL WAS HERE ,
BEFORE THE BODY
BOTH , CATCHING UP WITH THE MIND.
DELIVERING US
FROM DARKNESS
NOW STANDING IN THE LIGHT,
WE WERE HERE
THE ENTIRETY OF TIME
WE WERE MEARLY OUT OF SIGHT.

Stillness. Darkness, in this place
Thought that starts as arcs of light,
shot through hollow parts of space
Henceforth, day shall follow night
I create a stratosphere,
which I lay atop a sea
Day and night shall rotate here,
trading for eternity
To the edge, I bind a land
Vines aburst with fruit and flower,
Orchards lined across the sand
Eden's first and finest hour
Moon and stars such light will bring!
Just as much shall fill the sun
Beauty must still touch a thing,
though it might be seen by none
From the air and water spring
creatures I have caused to grow
slick of scale and quick of wing
As above, so too, below
Fast four-legged beasts appear,
friend to foe their numbers span
Last, though slumber draws Me near,
in My image, I make man
With free will and virtue blessed,
choices tell the fate he'll earn
Go forth child, today I rest...
Choose thee well til I return
You stand here tall, diploma in hand,
The cheers ring out across the land.
High school days are now behind,
But God has walked with you, so kind.
He held you close through tests and tears,
Through laughter bright and hidden fears.
Now new roads call with open skies,
And in your heart His promise lies.
Step forward bold, with faith as light,
Through unknown paths both day and night.
When winds may blow or doubts draw near,
His steady voice says, “I am here.”
Dream big and true, let hope take flight,
Chase every goal with all your might.
In school, in work, in quiet prayer,
His hand will guide you everywhere.
May joy bloom fresh like morning dew,
And strength rise up to carry you.
May peace surround your every mile,
And love shine warm with heaven’s smile.
You’re not alone on this wide sea—
Christ is your captain, strong and free.
His plans are good, His heart is true,
A future bright He made for you.
So go with courage, head held high,
Live out His love beneath the sky.
Your story sparks a holy fire,
Inspiring hearts to reach still higher.
A blessing deep from God above,
Wrapped tight in grace and endless love.
Dear graduate, the best is yet—
Walk on in faith, and never fret.
You shine for Him, a beacon clear,
The years ahead hold wonders near.
With every breath, give praise and see
The beautiful life He has for thee.
Seasons of Life
By Curtis Johnson
Unpleasant things of life, once completely frozen, are now thawing and melting away.
Wisdom has taught us that such things,
like ice caps, never came to stay.
To all things, there is an ultimate purpose.
This truth is certain; no need to suppose.
Our lives will always bring “seed time and harvest”.
Reaping always follows with rewards for what we invest.
May we release and not retain treasures in our chest.
Once dispatched, may we simply relax and rest.
Be wise, and beware not to rush the Spring Season.
Ample time and testing in the process, is the reason.
Day and night will not cease, nor will cold and heat.
And life must yield both the beauty and the beast
May we be patient and still, when happy seasons seem to stall.
When due, Summer will surely come, and so will Fall

You know and have seen all I have done
and made me view all one by one
my own iniquity so clearly I see
What possible value can you find in me
Words I have spoken that caused others pains
deeds not worth speaking who's knowledge remains
How many times have I others failed
against the treatment by so many I railed
Oh Lord you have seen all that I am
each deed in the life that do I span
remove from me all vanity and lies
and all my own actions that I so despise
Chasten me not in your hot displeasure
for the words of your law are the things that I treasure
Day and night I consider your laws
things of my failings that so give me pause
I reel within since you've opened my eyes
and the self delusion who was my disguise
I fear to think of what I might find
If I could see clearly with sight of your mind
I bow beneath the sins I discovered
with praise and thanks to know they are covered
My feet had slipped into the path of sinners
My heart was cold for so many winters
Years I have your understanding sought
since the first time I knew I was bought
like a repurchaser in ancient times
out of slavery who's chains defines
The sources of waters and light that gives life
with betrothment to your Son I am wife
with forgiveness you have my heart won
a gift you've created for the heart of your Son
May I always your Loves wisdom to listen
within the world this was what was missing
over and over you have proved yourself loyal
May I never by actions the truth of it spoil
sources Ps. 38 Ps. 51 Pr.1 Acts 20:28 Rev. 21:6-27

BRING THEM IN (AN ANSWER TO USHER HIM OUT)
Holy Father
I am a devout woman
What is wrong today, With our brothers
Those proclaimed in the church
Self righteous
Haughty
In pride
Claiming to be on mine and God's side
Ushered in, ushered out
Holy Father
Turn about
Change those that lie
Seek the face of them that deny
Stop the many women who cry
Bring them in
Give our men the true mind of Christ
Father help them be honest inside and out of church
We need men of integrity
Men of honor Christ like
This makes better man a husband to be for a wife
Let the men in church put the church in them
Ushered in, ushered out
Holy Father
Turn about
Change those that lie
Seek the face of them that deny
Stop the many women who cry
Bring them in
Women let's take a stand
Lets not settle for just anything
Bring them in, Lord bring them in
In the churches in the lands
Change them Father God, We need God fearing men
Bring them in, Bring them in
Ushered in ushered out
Change both those hearts
Let the women be a helpmate
Let the man follow God as we all should follow Christ
In the streets, the homes, in church day and night
Let us worship and praise,
Let the woman be not dismayed
Bring them in
Change their hearts and minds
Bring them in to the life of Christ

~Dedicated dramatic Verse to poetess “Sonya Stewart” as an answer her “Usher Him Out” poem
O N L Y E V E R W I T H Y O U
Only ever with you, I love to have and hold
into the circle of your arms, I'll unfold;
into your blue eyes' greeting shine, my gold;
only ever with you, I yearn to grow old...
Only ever with you I can write rhymes as such
for you bring my muse from dust to dash, to hush
Only ever with you my being wants to attach
as first step already taken to our primrose path
Only ever with you, tips dance linger to cherry lips
Slow summer hands will roam vast to wonderland
Whence pearl white peel smooches chocolate skin
only ever with you, heartbeats climbs a boiling point
Stars and moon may leave the dark skies
yet, one look at the gleam of your blue eyes
day and night, I see the rising sunrise.
Only ever with you, I will dive to lows or heights
for only ever with you, I'll plunge to infinity.
Prayers plea asking blessings from Divinity
to tie two hearts and two souls in sole unity.
Mindless to whatever is there in humanity
Only ever with you...
