Time's Runnin' Out

Time is ticking like a bomb about to blow up into smoke and flame
It alarms me to say this, but how DARE you waste my precious time

Your words could be as sweet as honey or as sour as lime

But I feel like I've been trampled to the ground
By grief and gravity...
My teeth are wearing off...is there a cavity to be found?
Keep me in your memory...

Fulfill me with your graceful glee and vibrant positivity

But it ain't no surprise that we all aren't normal and we all are peculiar in our own bizarre ways
Sorry to burst your bubble, but haha, yeah...I've been causing mischief and what not

I can't face my shattering reality...I can't face the consequences I must face from past downfalls
Unless you trade me your ecstasy
Abide with me next to sea...and I'll make sure to answer your calls

We'll watch the sunset and the gorgeous waterfalls

Don't be afraid, baby
It's only in your mind...throw your worries out the window and pray for a blessed reality
Anxiety is brewing...but you can replace it with last minute hope
And I don't have the strength to hold on to the rope

Time is ticking like a bomb about to blow up into smoke and flame
It's quite alarming to say this, but how DARE you waste my valuable time... Blaming me for your heartless, devious crimes

Time is ringing like a church bell chime...it's your time to say goodbye and it's my time to forget your name
It's alarming to hear broken records of memory replay in my head...it's almost like committing a wicked crime

Time's flippin' like a dime...

It's almost crime...


Never Amount or Equal To

She didn't understand ways in which the world worked or her place within it

On the outside a beautiful girl but beyond her eyes, deeper inside she burned with rage but you'd never know for the image she displayed on her face was timid

Came from where many failed but planned to prevail for she would never place a limit

On what she could or couldn't do for she knew God placed her in this very situation paced for her race to the finish

Didn't trust many because along the way more than plenty proved to be fruitless so when they were scheming or fronting she knew it

Everyone throughout life that wronged her in a way just made her stronger in a way, she put her life in lyrics for the world to hear it, you can read her mood from the songs that she plays and every tune she's intuned with

Throughout life she had her fair share of downfalls but bouncing back was her art of skill

She let her guard down one too many times so in front of her heart she made a shield so nothing would start or could build

She witnessed first hand how fast people can change & what their evil can do

But in the back of her mind she always knew the fact was true that once she grew she would be a woman they would never amount or equal to.

Premium Member Special Flight

Surmounting boundaries
my special child
freely soars
toward development targets
pressing on persistently 
maneuvering his wheelchair
against obstacles!
 
Triumphantly ascending
along hope gear with prayer-wings
my son exemplifies milestones’ possibility
midst God’s boundless grace*
defying asserted diagnosis:
“progression toward retrogression” 
vanquished miraculously by trust’s altitude!
 
Now overcoming downfalls
cheered by loving support
he keeps on persevering
succeeding with patience
while inspiring my stewardship service
for divine faith-flight…
wondrously liberating!

2Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.

Premium Member Molly My Watch-Bird

Well I could write endlessly about Frankie my cute English bulldog,
But when it comes to being a good watchdog, she’s closer to a log.
I do however have a pet that notifies us if someone is approaching,
She has taken it upon herself to do this faithfully without any coaching.

Her name is Molly and she is a watch-bird, my fearless cockatiel,
She performs this amazing task with confidence and great zeal.
Her elegant grey head feathers stand tall signifying she’s alert,
She perches stoically on the frig, her notification ready to assert.

Living in the countryside, a security system is needed, or so I feel,
When people come to the house, Molly lets out the loudest squeal.
A different chirp for each family member, my daughter gets a loud burst,
My son on the other hand gets loud staccato chirps, they’re the worst.

Molly spends most of her time out of her cage when someone is at home,
She surveys the home flying from window to door, monitoring her zone,
Taking her job seriously,  she bites if you try to stop or get in her way,
Molly has a job to do, she’s the security alarm, keeping burglars at bay.

So for a little bird seed, you too can get a watch bird that makes lots of noise.
Keep in mind, there are a few downfalls, there’s a lot of things she destroys.
Chewing windowsills, hiding jewelry and pooping where ever she may be,
A bit of a bitchy bird but what a set of lungs, a unique way to increase security.

Stimulation: Let That Sink In

Eyes that can't see clearly,
Ears that can't hear keenly 
Shame embraced me, never leaving my presence 
I hated the moments you called me a boy that's dense...
It just doesn't make sense...
Hence, I think up on other notions...
Fenced in by my own ignorance 
Hoping to gulp down  solution-potions as soon as possible...don't be discouraged by the delighted demeanor of commotions (don't give up by the mere overload of fitting in, even if it means indulging in short-term satisfaction) 

Yeah...let that sink in...
I made a lot of these lines up through thick and thin
I'm not bragging...I'm just relieved to let it all out
At least everyone who reads this know what I'm about...(glad that readers know my character) 

Delete the history of sexual immortality that has been detected in my life, oh Lord Most High...
In other words, forgive me of my downfalls that took away my virginity of vitality
Truth hurts honestly...lies are fickle frankly - that, I can't deny or make up a white lie to try to cover it with a useless try 
My lightbulbs of ideas are dimming as night unfolds into a brand-new morning...yay, yet another night of insomniac, maniac pleasure beyond measure...

Sorry, I can't help...
B-b-but be stimulated
I whisper and yelp... 
From the inside, I am humiliated...jaded...hated...degraded by discouragement that has been anticipated (typical cycle of negativity that people with bipolar go through in some phases) 

There's a light in goodbye
There's a twinkle in your eyes
Rumor has it that you've become so shy
There are truths behind the lies 

Documents of deception have stimulated my utter humiliation (being misled by conspiracy theories has made me embarrassed) 
Abashed to say the least...
These words are just not beast...
Maybe I'm just assuming again as usual
I'm just in need of God's faith fuel

I pray that all suffering ceases from the ones that deserve it 
Because...not everyone will absorb this poem internally...they will take it as just-another **** fit

Sorry...I wrote and said so many bad words
I don't belong in the herd of good birds 
I feel misunderstood...
My nature and my outlooks in reality is not always of good


Premium Member Wings of Wisdom

Over time we grow wings of wisdom
We learn from our mistakes
We learn lessons from our behavior
We fly with new positive changes
That bring us higher from our downfalls
Sometimes it takes conflict, many times
Until one day we learn new ways
How to respond, react and think
I have been through many hills in life
As we all encounter through time
Good and the bad all blended together
In a mixture that creates a picture
Scenes of my life from the past and present
To see, to review, to simply analyze
But, there are always wings of wisdom
Grown like seeds from these experiences
Day by day, through the years we live
Wings like an angel to fly for others
It takes learning ways to communicate
Other times, just from space being alone
But in this life with all that it brings us,
Everyone can fly in the wind of truth

Premium Member Doing God's Will

Doing the will of God* is His desire for believers
Obeying Him as the Master while overcoming selfishness
Increasing faith, having been imparted with divine nature
Nurtured with Scriptures' truth
Gearing toward faithful stewardship.

Taught to tread along righteous paths midst trials
Helped against temptations and downfalls
Exhorted with the Lord's goodness, the redeemed can do His will.

Workers in Christ's ministry, diligently persevering
Inheritors of eternal life, thankful to the Father
Loved by the Saviour and loving whom He loves
Lights shining with good works, they are surely blessed.

Offered to be enriched in labouring for the Creator's kingdom
Freed from slothfulness' slavery, they are partners in heavenly business.

God's will is revealed by His wisdom
Open for accomplishment with His strength
Determined to be done gladly by His children who please Him.

*Ephesians 6:6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.

Premium Member Prayer For Wisdom From God

Dear God, please grant me Your wisdom*, without defilement
…but so pure along sanctification’s fulfillment
Teach me Your truth against sinfulness-detriment
…never fallacious in assuring my redemption’s eternal settlement!

Oh, I need Your wisdom, without turmoil
…but so peaceable along spirituality’s oil
Lead me from downfalls that eviscerate my strength in distress-spoil
…for my surrendered servanthood’s joyful toil!

Give me Your wisdom, without rudeness
…but so gentle along charity’s kindness
Forgive me in my plunge into vanity and worldliness
…as You rescue me from the vortex of hatred’s heaviness!

I beg for Your wisdom, without terror
…but so merciful along patience’s ardor 
Instructing me with Your principles of honor
…that direct my curious soul for discernment’s fervor!

Uphold me by Your wisdom, without damage
…but so good along fruitfulness’ package
Drive me to Your standards of heavenly advantage
…while guarding me from compromises that tantalize my spiritual courage!

I need Your wisdom, without partiality
…but so fair along judgment’s authority
Illumine me thru Your holiness shining with integrity
…to confront deceits that bewilder with their destructive falsity!

Thank you for Your wisdom, without hypocrisy
…but so honest along Scriptures’ supremacy
Enlighten me midst stain of scarlet secrecy
…for my Christian walk’s virtuous consistency!

*1Chronicles 22:12 Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding...

Our Trust Bond

I require of you humility
In return, I will have loyalty
Don't wreck this hope I cherish
Bravery entirely is my wonderful wish 

Shake off the strain from my heart
Keep safe inside, stay from the start
The inner passion shatters away the pressure
I will love you some more beyond measure…pleasure…

There is a special connection between us
We belong together just because…because…
You and I have turned the other cheek, so unsure in anguish 
God knows the secrets we share will make uncertainty vanish  

Unveil understanding in our heart of desire and dismay 
You will be blessed in many ways possible night and day
Unsure of the future and far beyond yet to come…nervous and numb…
But, I am sure of this benevolent bond that our connection will become

Done with this shame that is extremely untamed
You are absolutely not the one that should be blamed
I will conquer your lows and highs, including downfalls and fears
I will fight away waterfalls of tension and woes, reducing you to tears

Do not encourage embarrassment upon my brain 
Give me sunshine after the temporarily pouring rain 
Listen to the thunderstorm of awfully delightful bliss
It reveals to you our kind of trust bond of joy gladness

The melody of the trust bond – 
It is a tune that we find fond
Keep safe inside, less pressure in mind
Don’t shake off motivation from in front and behind

Premium Member FAITH IN GOD WHO PERFORMS A GOOD WORK IN US

December 11 Faith in God Bible Meditations Based on Philippians 1-4 

Key Verse – Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.

FAITH IN GOD WHO PERFORMS A GOOD WORK IN US	

God performs a good work in us for our faith’s righteous living
To overcome carnality’s conniving…
In our helpless, sorrowful, deep grieving
His presence draws us near for triumphant cleaving.

God performs a good work in us for our faith’s bright glow
To conquer worldly enticements giving us pain and woe…
In our moments of temptations along distress’ sorrow
His help delivers us toward jubilant tomorrow.

God performs a good work in us for our faith’s holy influence
To smite arrogance of wealth and affluence…
In our vain glorying’s incongruence
His standard abases us of our pride-driven experience.

God performs a good work in us for our faith’s thankful praising
To evade celebrations of humanistic appraising…
In our pressures that are afflictively harassing
His strength upholds us with His firm raising.

God performs a good work in us for our faith’s powerful performance
To stay strong midst doubts’ questioning attendance…
In our hardships showing impossibilities’ appearance
His Word pulls us toward His promises’ assurance.

God performs a good work in us for our faith’s diligent discipleship
To rule over slothfulness that hinders our stewardship…
In our mediocrity of wishy-washy ministry-internship
His reproof keeps us working well through His leadership.

God performs a good work in us for our faith’s fruitful victory
To stand again from downfalls around disobedience-periphery…
In our desperation caused by service-failures’ injury
His triumph prods us to warn others against hell’s fury.
