Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it." Unknown

A Wilderness of Mirrors

Hurled in a wild wilderness of mirrors
I know not the exit door for escape,
All I can do is like birds to twitter,
Light from the mirrors seems at me to ape.

Where lies the real door I cannot know,
Some gate may lead to edge of precipice
Some may fling the frame of my mind to blow
Some may lead me my journey`s end to miss. 

 Dark dull devilish thoughts sprout in my mind,
Are bells of doom likely for me to knell!
It`s critical in urgency to find
Before it`s time for me to bid farewell.

In the quietude of the wilderness 
I lightly close my eyes to the surrounds
Rein in the wicked woeful waves of stress
And free myself from thoughts turning around,

Peering down the depth of my inner self
I spot my inner light greeting a gate,
Winking to me the door that`ll lead myself 
To the path of truth as laid in my fate.

Premium Member Who Needs Red Tape!

It seems it takes reams of paperwork to get things done nowadays.
You can become so snarled in red tape that it'll leave you in a daze!
I wonder how Noah would've coped with such onerous fiddle-faddle,
Had panels and boards been involved to design for him a simple paddle!

Did he have building codes and hordes of bureaucrats to appease,
Or pesky environmentalists hugging the gopherwood trees?
Was there an OSHA lurking about enforcing inane regulations?
Such balderdash would've added to his heap of frustrations!

Was an ASPCA "watchdog" there fretting about all the creatures,
Insisting that cages and stalls have the latest comfort features?
Was their a labor union hovering nigh demanding a living wage?
Such piffle would've launched Noah into a towering rage!

Had Noah heeded those who showered him with sneer and scorn,
Or had he drowned in seas of red tape to stifle his Godly bourne,
He might've been discouraged and cancelled the whole affair.
That could've spelled doom for humankind right then and there!

But Noah's Boss, that Master Architect superintending from Above,
Gave Noah the specifications and a not too gentle shove!
Noah, Japheth, Ham and Shem hustled and the Ark soon took shape.
'Twas built on schedule, with no cost overruns and no red tape!

Premium Member To My Savior, I’ll Cling


When it comes down to it, 
The only thing that matters in this life
Is the love, loving Jesus Christ

When you think of what is essential,
The most important thing…

It is the love of Jesus, the One who died on that tree.
The Savior, the Maker, the King

When it comes to what’s important,
The most blessed and amazing,
It is the love of Jesus, the One who died to keep…

Every heart and soul who believes,
Assured of life that is everlasting peace,
Eternity with the One whom we seek…

Before we even know what we need
Before we even know how to believe
Before we even know this King of Kings

When it comes to what life is all about
It’s about a love that freed,
A love that saves from the darkest doom
A love that arose to prove….

God is greater than any grave or concern
God is greater than any grief or gloom
God is greater than any doubt can consume

When it comes down to it…
Life is about finding the truth
And the truth is a man named Jesus
The One who is living proof…

That God loves us more than we know
He loves us beyond what we hope
He loves us so we feel the sweet flow…

Of a love that is beyond all control,
A love that is life’s greatest need
Love that is Jesus’ planted seed…

He is love and because He loved, He freed
So we no longer need to be afraid
He’s the light that reflects God’s amazing grace
He’s the One who paid the price
He’s God’s Son, the greatest sacrifice

Jesus is a living King
And because He lives
My soul will always sing

On and on I sing… to my Savior I’ll cling!

Freedom not free Doom

Freedom not free doom
I go for what I want 
I stand for what I need 
I hold on to what I love
I leave what breaks me 
Or face it if neccessary 
I stitch my broken heart with self love 
I believe in what makes me stronger 
I relate to my testimonies 
So I never fall out of gratitude 
I live to live again 
So I never regret my worst decision's in life
Dont forget I am human and 
life is full of lessons and experiences 
Am not perfect 
I only attract what I deserve 
I don't need no grudges 
Yes cos I always relate with my soul
And I Stand with my spirit to forge ahead 
I have to survive my fears 
I have to walk my ways 
Definitely it can't be same as yours 
Even when similarities connect our path
I love to free my mind 
I am royal to life 
Always answering the calls of nature 
I am humble to my struggles 
And I respect my hustle 
Despite my efforts are timeless 
I worship the supreme yes God is real
I recognize the universal forces
In my life my destiny is all 
I have to save 
So my dignity could be defined
With the worth of legacy 
While I am gone beyond 
I need to live before mama calls 
I have no other choice 
So all through my life Gods light 
Never depart from my ways 
Both physically and Spiritually 
Is obviously obvious 
my life is a symbol of 
Freedom not free doom

Beware

Bewear
Bewear of the chant of an innocent girl,
It will hurt you like a fire,

Beware of the anger of a gentle man
It strikes where it pains the most,

Beware of the curse of a mother
It so dealy more like a disaster,

Bewear of the words of politicians 
There is a big possibility 
Is like a words spoken out just to the air,

Bewear when you trust!
Your best friend could be your worst enemy,

Beware of believe,
Wrong believe leads you to doom!

Bewear of hate!
It hurt like  hell,

Bewear of jealousy,
Slowly kills you like a cancer!

Beware of enemy,
They teach you more about yourself,

Beware of education
Wrong education
 ends you up to manipulation,

Beware of reality of today
There are more to life yet unknown!

Beware of an innocent face
They can easily deceive you,

Beware of gossip
It create enmity and hate,

Beware!
an act of consciousness,

Above all,

Beware of what you believe you know
It either lead you right
Or lead you astray.

A misconception is the tale
That we should dread October's spell
Weird things happen, but do not fear
It only comes but once a year
Cornstalks, lanterns, pumpkin faces
Cloudy nights, and creepy spaces
Mummies hide by light of day
Ghouls in shadows want to play
Ghosts appear to take a peek
Cats put on their black coat sleek
Spider's weave around the room
A wart-nosed witch has brand new broom
Her sideways glance at mirror cracked
Still sneers her ugly image back
The cauldron cleaned with spit and shine
Prepared to hold a drink of slime
With tasty toads and wormy molds
It boils steamy brew that's bold
Graveyards readied, dark with gloom
Bats in belfries wait for doom
No need to dread the harvest moon
All Hallow's Eve is coming soon
They've all worked hard to be prepared
Join the party, IF YOU DARE!!

Suspicious Upper


     Planned a pretty picnic, yet didn’t predict 
     Pigs begged - please eat us
     Allocated table had laid out a feisty feast
     Mince never been seen since 

     Rolled in crackling casing, their fatty flesh
     Confused cuttings, garnish
     New sensations buzzed about, fly nuisance 
     Neurons zoomed zealously 

     Hogs hounded by horrifying hallucinations
     Leotard clad dancer retarded
     Twisted vertebrae a violation, tongue flicks
     Countdown to lard liquidation 

     Psilocybin sunny yellow yolk binds reason 
     Lumen shed no light of lantern  
     Mazatec ritual melted musk pink muscles 
     Slow motion mushroom sprawl

     Mummified corpses crept out of deep crypt
     Afternoon amber amplified fate
     Fast forward formula filter, little pigs fiction 
     Scramble like crabs in a bucket 

     Baked brick brains, barbecued by voodoo
     Vulgar misogyny bursts, a bulb
     Blooms dubious blue in Voyria voyage void
     Wolf at their door signals doom 

     Serpent slithered through halved heart rates 
     Shot of short sighted reaction 
     Spastic synapses jerk erratic, far stargazing 
     Scatter, decant into galaxy icy

     Frozen bones form a crucifix in farmer’ stall 
     Fable of table where food served 
     Sustenance, except the hex that halted them
     Bode their badges vanish in ash


     
     21st May 
      
     A tatterdemalion  
     Demonstrates haste 
     has a bad taste
     Homeless make tracks
     Unashamed, I stay

Premium Member Walking In Righteousness---

WALKING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS---

    Oh, there’s animated, society;
All caught up in variety;
Standards remade them;
Individually, renamed them;
All caught up in the branches;
While those demons do their dances;
It’s written in stone, answer your phone;
Who is your real witness?
    Walking in righteousness;
Undressed my confessions;
Would ride my balloon if I could;
But it’s made out of cheese
And even the mice don’t even care what’s left;
I am running out of hiding places;
Been caught with too many aces;
My soul enraged and my is pierced with clay;
Dried out turn to stone emotions run cold this day;
And I say…
Hatred and the drama;
Devil got our sons and daughters;
All the souls understands is that it’s about the bottom of our shoes..
As we walk on, walk on;
    Oh, there’s animated, society;
All caught up in variety;
Standards remade them;
Individually, renamed them;
All caught up in the branches;
While those demons do their dances;
It’s written in stone, answer your phone;
Who is your real witness?
    Walking in righteousness;
So I walk out of my room;
And I walk out of my home;
With each and impending doom;
The people swoon they drool..
No empathy, none for me;
And I walk out into the world alone;
No one at home, I’m alone, alone
With my last breath all I have left;’
All I have left is the walk…
My last steps…
Walking in the righteousness;
I’m found just…left
Walking in righteousness;

A Walk In the Night

Screams and raucous screeches
Identified world of owls in the darkness 
The tears of vultures in the darkness
The doom of man

Stuck in a faux environment
A frivolous and fervent mood I was
As the red-legged black saints cried for food
Forgotten in the pool of blood an innocent being

Dogs crowed like cocks
Cocks barked like  dogs
Fishes cried in the sea like men
Fishes sent out as the ocean dried up
While young crocodiles carried the bigger ones


The meeting of the black saints
So unfortunate to witness
Night embattled the day as
Day embattled the night

To relate all the woes?
Better I walk in the sun
Than witness this black atmosphere again
As I walk in the night.

Drowning in Fear


This feeling of sudden, impending doom 
corners me with strong arms. 
A deep seated ache of guilt 
for what wrong doing, I know not... 
begins tearing at my insides
 like a sharp toothed rat 
with fire looming at its back 
and no escape but through the walls of my stomach. 
I'm weakened by constant struggle and resistance. 
It is a vicious circle. Duty, responsibilities, expectations...
neglected to avoid that fear that hounds me. 
Only to make the anxiety greater, 
which in turn frightens me into phobia...
 unreasonable fears. 
These babes of my youth, then easier to command
 and forced to overcome, 
have grown into strong, cruel men 
who laugh at my struggles... 
binding me, immobile, 
as dark waters flow over my head.
 Firming up each knot I manage to loose 
and pushing my head under
 as they laugh and laugh and laugh.
