Cliff hanger story -
Freshly shorn scrawny
Steady assembly ruptured
Atop rocky bluff rugged
Shivering survival questionable
Seceder’s dream quenchable
Reject herd abide proffer
Select solo sailor prosper
Convention no obstacle
Escape is ewe’s oracle
Exit existence normal
Explore expanse nautical
Divorce merged marriage
Discover ocean massive
Ewe Turn deviate, lucid
Longs for longitude lurid
Leave safety of kennel
Wayward walking karakul
Stripped of her heavy jacket
Staggers down slope jagged
Ceases to be clone imitated
Intrepid sheep not intimidated
Sea spray hasten
Shelly cove haven
Upgrading basic graze
Horizon holds her gaze
Distance from flock’s faith
Determined for further fate
Declines enclosure
Entertains exposure
Among cluster, deficient
Embankment descending delinquent
Evicts herself of contest
Evolves self fulfilled conquest
Disdain for the brethren
Useless Ewe blended in
Refuses group apprehend
Triumphant Turn ascends

Our English Coasts
by William Holman Hunt
there are dew drops on my whiskers,
as I blink my eyes to greet the morn,
I rise to my feet and stretch and yawn,
and saunter down to the shallow lake,
slowly through the tall tufts of dry grass,
they are much the same colour as me,
but my stripes hide me further!
I announce my presence with a loud growl,
making some birds skittle and fly,
a monkey chatters a warning cry,
the cheetal look me straight in the face,
the Sambhal rushes away to a safe distance,
I am in no hurry to start my hunt today,
my last kill should last me this week,
I shall rest and watch my vast lands,
that bear my pug marks and my smell,
the golden Sun lights up my forest,
I am the King of the Sunderbans!

Personification
There's an eerie feeling in the air tonight.
Voices in the distance seem full of fright.
Crisp cold winds that blow
chilling to the bone...
leaves rustling in the darkness, unknown.
Silence even whispers loud the fear,
Silhouettes of ghosts on trees' barks appear,
waving mystic spears that sang in the winds
heard only by already frightened minds.
The wings of both the devil and the angels
confused the eyes by the winds that dishelves
the tinctures of darkness and light in the clouds,
that separated the moon from the stars in the crowds,
A frog nearby, its eyes full of dark fright,
it jolted a snake, its body slick and tight.
It fell on my head and I fainted in my fears.
But quickly woken up by its hissing near my ears.
I ran helter-skelter, the snake joined me
but 'twas the humming of a flying bee,
that stopped my run, only to find my heart
hanging out as the snake and the bee depart.
With fear I begged Halloween to stop its torment,
it refused while darkness still was present.
Then, I heard the approaching steps of sunlights,
that was when I was freed from all my frights.
banned in the shadows behind the scenes
of a play,
he carried on along his path without missing
a step
his poetic gnosis stoked a fire without lighting
a match,
for its invisible to the masses a secret quiet
as kept
losses were taken but he chopped it up &
got back in the kitchen,
as if it had been the first time they tried to
alter his mission
his suspicions had come to light somewhere
deep in his mind,
but intuition would have him knowing the
score of games at the time
jealousy is a sickness of the mind they say
say is felt in the heart,
eating away at certain people with an
appetite of a shark
green eyes can see far but lack the clearest
of vision,
& are transparent when they approach so
they're seen from a distance
his persistence was only rivaled by his shine
& the will,
as the divine worked with his timing causing
his cups to refill
you can take the red or blue pill, just stay
away from the green,
as those eyes are steady watching, stealing
by shaking the tree
Ya..I know...shame on me,
That I waited this long to tell you everything,
But here's the truth, if I told you right away,
Would you really take seriously what I had to say,
You didn't take me serious when I shared my heart just a little,
You assumed just another needy heart you could berate and belittle,
And that's exactly what you did from the door,
The rumors were proved true, need I say more,
My reliance on God is very strong,
I didn't need you to fix anything in my life that was wrong,
But I shared for a purpose, that was all true,
I tested the spirit that I thought I knew,
God didn't tell me to sit back and play stupid,
He said get up and move and I will take you through this,
And you can go back and compare all your notes from the start,
Because when this happened, God immediately changed your hearts,
I stood from a distance, and watched God move,
I will never regret what he placed in my heart to do.
Shadows linger, echoes pop,leaves crumble
Nerves rattle at heart beat rate
Depths of darkness unknown
Its existence even in ourselves
Fog covers the floor of forest
Its thickness hardly break light shine
A distance merely seen by moon bright
A time traveler, human or beast
Where is it fear rules our soul
Our heart's fall weak even in love
Eerieness of Darkness we dare not
Even to turn and run just escape
Only the moment blood rushes through
A mere light in faded distance
A hope,a moment of belief
A glimpse of empty space unfill
We dare its depths unknown
We dare ourselves trying be strong
It can only devour but not eat us
Eerieness of Darkness, beyond fears walk
Beyond belief, beyond courage of heart
But only in your mind fear exist
Only in Eerieness of Darkness demon exist
Conquer the walk for I exist
My soul's darkness,it isn't what's there
But surviving to overcome what is
February 3 Relationship to God Bible Meditations Based on Leviticus 10-12
Key Verse– Leviticus 10:2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them…
LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY DEVOURING FIRE
Lord God, You are my devouring Fire for my sanctification
Thank You for calling me as Your child from hell’s condemnation
To bear Your name with sincere devotion
While I bewail my sins, repenting toward genuine transformation.
Lord God, You are my devouring Fire for my strengthening
Thank You for purging me as Your adopted against sin-staining
To learn from what You teach for my character-refining
While I remain in Your will, ready for Your divine pruning.
Lord God, You are my devouring Fire for my sacrifices’ acceptability
Thank You for beautifying me as Your daughter by Your love’s sovereignty
To seek You diligently with my humility
While I hear Your voice and dwell in Your contentment’s purity.
Lord God, You are my devouring Fire for my spiritual fulfillment
Thank You for sanctifying me as Your saint by Your blood’s empowerment
To strive to obey with righteousness Your commandment
While I stay in Your fountain of blessings every moment.
Lord God, You are my devouring Fire for my sowing’s productiveness
Thank You for clothing me as Your born-again heir with godliness
To overcome by Your might defiling thoughts and filthiness
While I choose virtues against corruption-wickedness.
Lord God, You are my devouring Fire for my service-substance
Thank You for separating me as Your disciple from falsehood stance
To increase in faith, valuing my heavenly inheritance
While I rejoice in You, never following You from a distance.
Lord God, You are my devouring Fire for my stewardship’s victory
Thank You for upholding me as Your prayer-warrior in Your ministry
To offer to You my best for Your honour and glory
While I reach-out to others, sharing Your Gospel story.

If I was a cat with a long hairy tail
you’d bring me to your home from a fare.
Not a long time would pas by though
when you’d satiate me with your love and care.
When I’d prowl regally like a magical cat
you’d call me your charming feline queen,
as white as the first snow of the winter
or as lovely as the spring lily with a sheen.
Wherever you’d go on your daily errand,
your warm company I’d always keep,
pacing ahead of you in my swift strides,
and every night beside you’d let me sleep.
I’d climb and sit on your broad shoulder,
or lounge leisurely on your plump thigh.
You’d caress me with your gentle fingers
and with their magical touch I’d feel high.
I’d be pampered by you as your naughty child,
to have me on your hold you’d race after me.
You won’t even mind if I’d wet your clean sofa,
for, to go to the assigned place I’d feel too lazy.
As you’d stroke fondly my fur while I’d snooze,
I’d wake up with purring melodic meow like a song,
and to the food bowl you’d keep with care I’d run
in a trance as fast as I could a distance not too long.
At night when all the sounds would subside,
the house would be a domain of dense dark hue,
sleepless, you’d recline on the couch alone,
my steps would create the lullaby tune for you.
Swaddled in a grey woollen scarf
Soft rain falling gently on your face.
Crows CACKLING in the trees overhead
Tipping leaves, laden with droplets,
DRIPPING like heavy tears,
SMACKING the concrete path below.
You sigh as you draw close to me
FLICK your cigarette, take a draw.
Hands trembling, you open the car door
The CLUNK of metal breaks the hush.
A train RUMBLES in the distance.
The scent of your chanel perfume
OOZES into the frost chilled car.
Outside a gaggle of nurses
CHATTER and FIZZ after work.
I turn to you and MURMER ,
Fumbling for words like a fool,
You WHISPER clasping your hand round mine,
“ I’ll be alright - the tumours benign.”

I use to have a friend that always use to worry
I always told him things would be greater later
one day he got his blessings and shut me down in a hurry
and then have the nerves to call me a hater,
they say that money changes people
and I see it happen all the time
now so you got your little change , you want to be evil
when I had your back, when you didn't had a dime.
hey you're still my boy ,we're still cool
cause I cant just wipe you out of existence
but right now you're acting a little rude
so i'm going to keep you at a distance
now while you're running behind my back
telling everyone that I'm just jealous
I am happy for you in fact
i am nothing if not overly zealous,
but you will need me before I need you
that truly can say
soon you'll fall from that high horse and look like a fool
and I just cant wait til that day
i'll be there to tell you I said so
when you were up you act as everyone were beneath you
and the only thing I'd want you to know
is that you should not have bitten the hand that feeds you
well because of the backstabbing of an so call friend this poem is something i had to write i titled this one
